Hi all! Two weeks ago i bought a sim locked t-mobile wing from usa to russia. I was unpleasant surprised that there is no free and simple solutions for unlock this model. My question: people who have a t-mo account help me please) Could u call 611 and ask code for me? Or it is possible only for a first owner? . Thanks)
1. Dont put ur imei here. This is a public forum, so everyone @ internet can see it
2. Contact jockw2001... He can help u for a small fee
hi. im new here and i just got a t-mobile wing for doing some work. does this jockw2001 have a wesite to unlock the phone?
just call tmobile your self. i recently bought an att tilt off ebay that was locked and att gave me the code for free. when i was useing my wing tmobile gave me the unlock code for free too.
dont you have to be a subscriber for t-mobile to get one? im an at&t user and i dont want to wait 90 days to be able to do it.
T-Mobile USA provides the unlock code for free if
you are in a service agreement
you have a T-Mobile USA prepaid card and uploaded at least $10.00 during the past 3 months
You sure still can try to get the unlock code from them by contacting them via email at www.t-mobile.com
Other than that, I doubt that you can reach T-Mobile USA Customer Care from outside the US.
It sure will work if you know a US citizen with a T-Mobile plan or prepaid card. He then can contact T-Mobile for you and request a SIM UNLOCK CODE by providing them with the device IMEI.
well if thats all i need to do, then i will find someone that has t-mobile. i live in the US so im not worried about not being able to contact t-mobile customer service. thank you for all of your help. you guys are awesome!
is Mr . jockw2001 Reliable ?
so i can send him money ?

I live in the US and I have a trip planned to London, Paris and Rome in May. I own a T-mobile G1 and was wondering what my best option was for using my G1 in those cities. I know there are a lot of European users here on XDA so I was hoping somebody could give me some advise from experience. I do realize that the 3G won't work over there no matter what I do.
Thanks for any and all help!

3G should work fine. When you get there, buy a local prepaid simcard.
You need to unlock it first, call T-Mo and tell them what you just posted and they will give you the unlock code.
Your best bet for London (once you've got the phone unlocked) is a "pay as you go" sim from three. Just put £10 credit on it and you'll get a 150mb, 90day internet allowance. If you need to top it up again you get that allowance renewed every time.
Unless I am mistaking, the phone is rooted and is running a non stock rom, thus it is unlocked. I will look into the prepaid sim cards. Will I have to get a different one for each of the countries/cities?
@lbcoder: are you sure about the 3G? since this is a t-mobile phone I was under the impression that the bands it uses for 3G are only the N. American Bands and would only work over here.
Not unlocked for other networks, you need to get it unlocked to use other networks.

Sim unlock isn't the same thing as root.. You need a code from t-mobile for that. They'll give you one if you tell them what you've told us.

That's going to be the cheapest way to do it.. You'll get brutally raped for roaming charges otherwise. In the UK the cards are usually free, you just have to buy the calling credit.
TMO will give you your SIM unlock code for free if your account has been paid up for 90 days or longer. They take up to 7 days. I had to get this from TMO via my American friend when I bought my G1 off him. There are places online where you can pay $25 or so and get an unlock code within hours. SIM unlock is not the same thing as root.
I'm also just about to go to Europe! Vodafone turned on global roaming for free (I just pay for calls) and they sells packs of roaming data, I got 25Mb for $50, which is way cheaper than their usual rate of $10 per 1Mb! For me this is easier than stuffing round with pre-paid SIM cards, changing number and whatever, I also don't know if a pre-paid SIM gives mobile data access? Give TMO a call and see what they offer.
I will turn off Sync and use DroidWall to make sure stuff doesn't update in the background and use all my allowance. It's really only to update Facebook to let people know I am still alive
Your G1 will most definitely work and use 3G in London. You can grab a T-Mo prepaid SIM from the multiple vending machines in the airport when you arrive in London, and swap it in and start using it immediately. I did exactly this at both Gatwick and Heathrow. Do like the other posters said and call T-Mobile in the US and get the unlock code before you fly. It's free that way. I did that too, and they are cool about it. It took about 24 hours after my request and it was emailed to me. The one thing that confused me at first was my G1 kept asking for a "SIM unlock code" or something like that after I had unlocked it using the T-Mobile code. Turns out it was a security setting that I could disable, to prevent someone from using the phone if they stole it. Two totally different "SIM unlocks". Now I know.
I have appraoched a few companies (and also paid them) to get my HTC HD2 unlocked (Tmobile USA) but they came back to me with "the IMEI is new". Any suggestions on a possible website that unlocks these new ones will be appreciated.
Thanks all
PM me your IMEI
have you tried asking t-mobile? I've heard they will give it to you 60days after you get the phone.
I got my unlock code for my HD2 after I told T-Mo I was leaving the country and there roaming charges sucked. I told them I was going to buy a local pay as you go sim card and use it in my phone. In like a month HTC E-Mailed me the code after T-Mobile requested it.
But you need to be a Tmobile user in order to call and ask for the Unlock code? They will ask you about the plan that you have?
Because I have an HD2 from Tmobile but I'm not a customer.
I know this has been posted before but I don't know if anyone really understood or paid attention so I will post what needs to be done specifically to get ur US Dell Streak unlocked. Just contact ATT in regards to unlocking, make sure your account isn't past due and tell the customer service rep that you about to be deployed (or something to that effect) overseas and be very "adamant" about it.They will in return ask for the IMEI number and provide you with a unlock code. Once you have the unlock code.. just get another carrier's sim and put in the code and your good to go.. no rebel sim or anything else..!
You do not need to make that many storied neither you need to be dramatic just call ATT and tell them you have plans to travel outside US and need an unlock code for Streak.
They will tell you should use ATT then just tell them ATT roaming is very expensive story finished
OR
You can order yourself a Rebel 11 sim card

Well I am in US and i never gone through the hassle getting the code for so many of the phones
I was able to get my US ATT full price Streak unlocked by ATT, I had to fax the request after I called customer service and wait a few days but they provided the unlock
code and I am running on Cincinnati Bell now. I have also tested with TMobile and I get EDGE data and voice with no issues on both networks.

I got one of these phones, i bought it today at a walmart
removed the att sim card and then I powered it on to check it out. I have not connected it to the internet yet.
My idea is to use the phone outside the US, with a carrier from another country.
I checked ebay and unlock codes are crazy, like 30dollars.
Is there any other place i can get a cheaper option to carrier unlock the phone?
if you have any tips please help me out, thank you.

I got the Huawei Elate unlocked from Cricket over chat
I just explained to them that I'm an AT&T customer and I needed to use the Elate as a backup
on my plan. I'm pretty sure AT&T would do the same if you explained your situation.
Note: I had already signed up for the Cricket Unlimited plan when I ask for the unlock
