To my knowledge that won't work. He will have to insert another carrier's simcard to get the unlock code prompt.

I doubt it's that simple. You might have some coercing to do to get the unlock code...

Actually its a law. After you have been with t mobile for 90 days you can request an unlock code and they will give it to you. I have done it for all my phones. Its that easy.
It's not locked to T-MOBILE ...

Just call the provider it is locked to. Tell them you are going oversea's and need your phone unlocked cause your going to use a local sim card.
I have 4 phones .
I'd be very interested to hear of anyone who's managed to get an unlock code from Rogers in Canada.

i'm having trouble
I live in venezuela where the goverment decided almost 7 years ago that the use of international currency is restricted, so i have no way of using paypal or any other method to buy an unlock code. I had my hands on a smart-sim, (turbo-sim) that promises to use any sim card on any phone. It worked on almost all phones i've tried except the HTC touch viva, for some reason it doesn't recognises the sim card as a valid one and still asks for the subsidy code.
Is there any method to unlock the phone without paying for it though the internet? i mean, something like changing the imei, using a known unlock code for that emai and then changing the emei back to the original? any way? please?
Hello,
I am sorry to ask this again but I have an AT&T S4 that's currently stock and runing 4.4.2 and I was wondering if there is any way to unlock it for T-mobile? I tired following some of the posts on here but they seem to be old and outdated. Does anyone have any other suggestions?'
Thanks!

I haven't heard anything yet..did more digging and it seems like you have to downgrade but then it's not guaranteed that you can unlock it.. I bought an unlock code for $30..still waiting to get it so I'll let you know if it works lol

If you are an AT&T customer or a previous member you can unlock your AT&T phone by going here. It is FREE and i have done it with all my phones so far. They provide you with an unlock code and all you have to do is insert the new non-at&t sim and enter the unlock code.

Since you have the unlock code, it will be almost the same thing. All you do is insert the non-att sim card and it will ask you to enter the unlock code. Enter the code and now you have an unlocked phone.
I found some instructions on how to do it from the dialer but no luck. I don't think T-Mobile will give me the unlock code because I owe them money.

Unlock the device via dialer finished with android 4.2.2. Buy a new unlock code via IMEI.
I want to be able to remove Sprints crapware. Should I unlock the bootloader before inserting the sim?

I might already be locked being it's a Sprint variant. Boot it up without the sim and if the unlock switch isn't greyed out then flip the switch. After that no sim can relock it

Bootloader is unlockable regardless.
From the way I understand it, if you boot the device with Sprint SIM, it will carrier lock the device. Meaning you will have to wait for Sprint to push updates for OTA.
But I am on Sprint and can confirm you can still unlock and root the device as normal instructions for the device state. And also sideload updates etc with no issue.

What are you talking about? There is no "crapware".
I bought the phone at Best buy and use Sprint. It locks as far as roaming and it hides the tethering option but I did switch the Sim and it worked on FreedomPop fine

Great to know thanks.
A question: may I have the update OTA even if I am in another country? without the sprint sim card?

Is your phone the Sprint variant? If so, what did you have to do to get it to work with a Mexican sim?

If you boot into the bootloader, the phone will read "Sprint" or "OpenUS" next to variant.
