Hello,
Anyone knows how to unlock the T-Mobile Wing, if so, please let me know.
Your help will be appreciated
Thanks
if by unlocked you mean a sim-unlock, contact your service provider ~90 days after you purchased your phone and ask for the unlock code.
if by unlocke you mean a CID-unlock, go to the WM6 forum and hard-spl your phone. Make sure you follow the directions.
In the future, please search before you post.
I meant sim-unlocked. I was just wondering, 90 days is much to wait ...
Do you know how to sim-unlock it?

Sure! You have 2 choices. Either pay for an unlock code on line or be a T-Mobile customer for 90 days in good standing and get it free.
I'm in the US Navy. I explained to the service rep that I was going overseas and wanted my unlock code. I got it no problem. This was 3 days after I bough my phone.
oh is that so? its good to know.
and also, thank you for your service to our country.

I dont kno who in the world TOLD u its 90 days...but smack them...u def call t-mobile...tell them ur going on a trip and u need ur wing unlocked...they ask for the imei and an email to mail the instructions...i got mine in 45 hrs...look man...I've sat quiet and watched people just make up advice an answers...lol
Really? How long have you been with TMobile? I unlocked my phone after 90 days with tmobile (the wing was my first tmobile phone). It might be different for those that upgraded though, especially if they 've been with tmobile since they were voicestream (like my mom).
I would like to +1 to the going overseas. I went to guam for a month and wanted to use my phone there. They sent me the unlock code in about 2 days I think. Once there I used a local GSM provider on a pay as you go. was like $70 for a pre-paid with 1200 minutes that called the US for 1 to 1 minutes. It wasn't too bad.
I guess, I will have to wait. The thing is, I am T-Mobile customer since 02, but I got the phone from my cousin who signed a new contract with T-Mobile less than 2 weeks ago, just to give me the Wing, since he has N95.
I just thought there might be a way to sim unlock it without payin for unlock codes on ebay,...

i've been wit T-mobile since Voicestream
I've been with T-mobile, Voicestream, Powertel .... going back to the early 90's
Quick question, and sorry of this seems dumb.
Why do I need to "unlock" the phone and what does it achieve? I have had the Wing for any about 2 months but I will be leaving in a few to go out of the country and need it working. I have had standard phones in the past and they always worked outside the US.
One more, I live in Colorado and went up to do some snowboarding over the weekend and had no service...I always have service there, does this unlocking thing have something to do with that?
I have flashed to a new ROM recently that I found here so it is not stock.
Unlocking has nothing to do with your problem. I live on a hill, almost eye-level with a Sprint cell phone tower, and I get 2 bars most times in my living room.

In that case I am a bit concerned about not having service at Copper Mountain.
I wish I could remember but I went up a few weeks back and I think...I am not sure, I had flashed this new ROM just before that, and I had service so I belive this new ROM worked up there before. Now, Saturday it did not, not even weak signal, just "searching..." I though also it might have something to do with a cab I downloaded last week to fix my problem with not receiving MMS. My MMS works now and here in town, I get fine service but why would it not work at this resort? I have always has great service up there, even on the top of the mountain. My friend has Cingular and his phone had great signal.
Unlocking enables you to use any other SIM card on your phone. it has nothing to do with the reception. Your issue would be the new ROM you flashed, try a different Radio and that should help.

Actually, I should have been more specific. I know what unlocking does (both types), I am just not sure if I need to do it or not. Do I NEED to do it if I am leaving for Europe for my phone to work? My previous phones I have had worked with no problem in every country I have been to. But I am not sure about a PPC.
What would cause my phone to only work in a specific area? When I got back to town, I had fine reception. Just not at the resort and it had previously worked fine. Could it be a setting that got changed when I added that cab to update setting for MMS or is that just data connection settings? The cab was listed here on post # 205.

I have the same ROM (Touch IT 4.4) and have had issues with the MMS so have used exactly the same CAB you pointed out-
I did notice that the reception is worse with the 4.4 so i dont think its any issue with the CAB. Like i recommenced, try a new Radio, some could boost your reception. ( but yea, places where i had 4 bars now only has 2 or less, so i would say its the Radio issue rather than the MMS Cabs you installed)

OK, thanks! So can I get just a new radio version or do I need a new ROM?
Hi all!
I bought this G1 (unlocked) from ebay (T-Mobile branded). For 3-4 days there was no problem but after that the network signal started going and I need to restart. And finally the signal don't come at all, even on restart. plz. help. What could be the reason
Thanks
Sorry for posting a question which is already there in other threads. But still there is no solution i could find in those threads
Well first of all. When you mean you bought it unlocked? Are you talking your using a different carrier then? Is that what your saying?
sent from my superfroyo dream
Yes....I.m using different carrier. It worked perfectly for few days.
Over the next two weeks, a 2 part Froyo android OS upgrade will be sent to your Mytouch 3G.
i got this, but i have only a G2 on both of my lines.
Is there a question there or are you just telling us?
my friend got his MT3G froyo update today...
was your last phone a MyTouch? maybe the system didnt fully update yours to G2. you can manually change your phone in my.tmobile.com but im not sure it really does anything.
I got a Telus HTC Hero, rooted and all... but Im missing the APNs from Bell (who im with now)... Anyone knows the right settings from Bell?.. thank u guyz!
Not sure if you got it yet since it has been 20 days since you asked...
http://support.bell.ca/en-on/Mobili...y_HTC_Hero_for_the_Bell_Mobility_HSPA_network
That should help you out.
Regards.
I'm hoping there are still a few people around that can help me.
I got the MyTouch 4G shortly after it first came out. I loved that phone, but then after moving to Europe I found myself needing a phone for the service here so I sold mine on Ebay. My parents both got them as well and now that THEY've moved on to other phones, I've inherited them.
My questions...
1. I rooted these phones about 2 years ago, but I have no idea whether they're SIM unlocked. Is there a way that I can find out?
2. If they're not SIM unlocked, is there some way I can reroot them to be?
Thanks, guys.
