I currently have an iPhone, love it. However, I'm getting a G1, new in the box tomorrow. My question is this, can I open the G1 and use an unlock code on it, then pop in my ATT sim and get up and running or do I have to have a TMobile sim activated and in the phone for the unlock code to work?
this has been gone over before. SEARCH. but yeah all you have to do is put your ATT sim in, turn the phone on, and enter the unlock code.
then, when it starts with the whole google setup your phone thing, hit the MENU button and select NEW APN and then enter in all of your information...google for the APN information for ATT...and then presto it should work. (make sure you put default in for apn type).

I wish to sell my g1 to my friend who has AT&T, sorry in advance if there is a thread on this I could not find any, So how could i get AT&T to work on a g1?
First, you have to have the G1 unlocked. TMO will do this for free if your account has been in good standing and you've owned your G1 for over 90 days. After that, your friend has to get an ATT sim to throw in (or theres a backward way using a different APN list). However, keep in mind that your friend WILL NOT be able to use 3G on ATT with the G1 ever. The G1 is hard coded to only function on TMO's 3G bands and it cant be changed.
1. Get Imei Code, It is behind the battery, you can go to photo status to find it, or you can dial *306#
2. Call TMobile requesting unlock code, provide them the IMEI code, and within 24 hours you will recieve it.
3. Insert ATT sim, A Sim unlock menu will pop up, type in the sim unlock code.
4. ???
5. Profit!
This indeed works well. Keep in mind the G1 cannot connect to 3G.
Thanks guys
For some very strange reason 'sometimes' (as I was told by T-mobile Galaxy Tech Support and Level 3 Samsung Galaxy S Premium Support - they don't know why ) the UNLOCK code provided by T-Mobile doesn't work. message: NETWORK UNLOCK REQUEST UNSUCCESSFUL
if this is the case, here's a quick solution:
1. Download and install SGS Unlock app from Market (even if you have UNLOCK code provided by T-Mobile it's always good to double check). Please donate to developer for a great job!
2. Run SGS Unlock and write down the UNLOCK Code.
3. Turn your device OFF and remove T-Mobile SIM card.
4. Turn device ON without SIM card! Once it's on go to phone dial screen and DIAL: *7465625*638*#
it will bring you to the NETWORK LOCK screen.
- in MCC/MNC field enter code for the service provider you want to use your phone with (eg 31026 for T-Mobile USA), if you don't know a code, just GOOGLE: MCC/MNC and service provider name.
- in CONTROL KEY field enter the UNLOCK code (you got from T-Mobile and confirmed by SGS Unlock)
- hit OK
- you should get a message: LOCK SUCCESSFUL
5. Power phone down, insert SIM card you want your phone to work with and power on.
Once your phone back on you should get a message: SIM card added to SAFE list.
Now you can use your T-Mobile locked phone with another service provider.
ENJOY!!!
There's no special instructions to go back to T-Mobile network. Just insert T-Mobile SIM back into your phone.
By the way, everything you do with your phone you do at your own risk! Don't blame anybody when/if something goes wrong!

Do you have any suggestions for Network unlock GS7 at&t for t-mobile use? Would greatly appreciate. Also have an Sprint s5 having hell of a time with.
I am attempting to factory unlock a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 originally on the T-mobile network and place a Verizon sim card into the phone.
I have done hours of research to find that I have a few options.
1. I need to purchase an unlock code from a website (that hopefully won't scam me)
2. Contact the carrier to see if they will give me an unlock code
3. Use the service menu on the phone to mess with some "Network Lock" settings
I have spoken with a friend of mine who said that even if I pursue any of these options, the phone will still not function because I am trying to go from a GSM network to a CDMA network. He said the data will function but the phone calls will not come in.
I am in desperate need of some help if anyone can respond. Thanks.

AFAIK the t-mobile version only comes unlocked. It should be just a matter of turning on the radios for the verizon bands you want to be able to use and putting in a verizon sim card.
I'm in a really strange position with my S7 Edge. So I've had Sprint service for about 6 months to ensure that I can unlock it with no problems and my phone is paid off in full. I bought a Mintsim phone plan a few weeks ago, since its really cheap and basically the same plan I had with Sprint for 1/4th of the price. I activated my Mintsim sim card and ported my old number from Sprint. I paid off any existing balance on my account and asked them to unlock the phone several times and they said that its finally unlocked domestically and internationally but my Mintsim sim card is still being listed as "Invalid card. Emergency calls only". I've called Mintsim and had them reset things from their side but still no dice. Sprint finally gave me the MSL code but Mintsim is saying they can't do anything from their end. I'm currently on software version G935UUES4BQG1 and I flashed an unlocked ROM a while back and my phone is unrooted. I'm not sure what to do at this point, I'd really appreciate any help and input I can get. Thanks in advance!
So, for future reference for anyone who might be in the same situation as me, I fixed it.
Heres what I did:
1. Flash stock Sprint firmware. This was probably the most crucial part because when I had the unlocked firmware and tried to use my new sim card, I wasn't able to access the "Mobile Networks" option.
2. Insert your new Sim card and go to Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Networks and set your "Network Mode" to "Automatic".
3. Setup the APN as you see on their website or use T-Mobile's APN (some have better speeds using this).
4. Make sure your "Network operators" says "Mint" under it.
5. Restart your phone and wait a few minutes and you should be all set
Time to flash unlocked firmware again. The bloatware and Sprint logo during reboot, burn my eyes!
I'm on at&t sim and everything has been working great. I have always been able to talk & surf since day one. starting today, when i make every call i get the notification, DATA SERVICE IS BLOCKED. Once i hang up, data works great again. I didn't change anything on my phone, called at&t and they don't have a clue. My wife has exact same service on different phone and she can still talk and surf. Any ideas?
Try putting your sim into your wife's phone and enter the call testing menu *#*#4636#*#* then phone info. Make sure VOLTE is activated. Then do the same on ur phone. If that doesn't fix it, try resetting ur APN to default in the 3 dot menu.
