always works

When a mobile is locked to an overseas network, it usually is locked by software (eg. different firmware) or locked by a network code...easiest method to try is to take the model number and lets use a samsung note 3...

this phone comes in different models for different carriers.
SM-N900 - Exynos Version (International).
SM-N9005 - Snapdragon Version(International).
SM-N9002 - Snapdragon Double SIM(Chinese).
SM-N9005T - Snapdragon Version (T-Mobile)
SM-N9005P - Snapdragon Version (Sprint)
SM-N9005A - Snapdragon Version (AT&T)
SM-N9007 - Snapdragon Version (Optus)
SM-N900W8- Snapdragon Version (Canadian)
SM-N9000Q - Exynos Version(Turkish)
SM-N9000- Exynos Version(Supposedly International,but don't know the difference with n900)

check the hardware and ensure it is the same. lets use these two phones
SM-N9005P - Snapdragon Version (Sprint)
SM-N9005A - Snapdragon Version (AT&T)

Use the net to compare specs such as cpu's, storage etc and they should be the same.

the main difference in mobile variants is either the network connectivity (3g, 4glte etc), cpu specs and storage space.

once the hardware is the same go to sammobile and enter the firmware for your local country, trinidad would use the N9005 version...and download that firmware...

download a program named odin
and with your pc use this guide to flash the firmware...

once flashed your sim should work...

i personally flashed a few samsungs that was locked to at&t and it all worked flawlessly.

BEWARE that some CDMA phones do not carry a sim slot and will not work in trinidad....so choose carefully and be smart... any questions feel free to contact me...cheers

Straight talk/TracFone uses special firmware, a regular unlock will not work.

Phone needs to be flashed to regular firmware first (depending on the model and if the software is available), then you can proceed to unlock it...

Oh Also They also use both GSM/HSDPA networks as well as CDMA so you need to make sure the phone is GSM/HSDPA first before you even attempt to unlock/flash it...
