Anyone know how or where to unlock the new G2? I want to use it with ATT LOL
Is there a method or a website I can get the unlock code?
Thanks!
Ps. I had the samsung captivate but the gps and lag on that thing made me return it. That's why I bought the G2.
You do realize that it won't work on ATT's 3G ; only EDGE?
Also, you might want to wait for the NA version of the Desire Z going to Canada ; you might pick up one of those since they have the 850Mhz band used for ATT's 3G.
About the unlock, you will have to wait for the phone to officially launch all over, and then unlock codes should pop up soon on eBay and other such sites.

Yes I'm aware that it will only work on edge.
The disire z is running sense which I don't want. I want as much stock android 2.2 on the phone. Besides the discontinued nexus one, this is my only choice.
Thanks for your reply.

Or.....if you're an existing T-mobile customer you can call them and request the unlock code.....That always seems to be the easiest way.
Yup, if you've bought it from them, and have been a customer for quite a while, just tell them that you need the unlock code since you travel a lot, and they should give it to you.
I see your point about being totally stock, however, some users have flashed the G2 ROM on the Desire Z with no hiccups, and thus getting Stock Android.
would you guys say that t-mobile can give me the unlock code even if did not buy the phone from them? lets say i bought it at best buy. i do have t-mobile account for my brother. but i bought the g2 full price from best buy.
As long as you have an account they should do it.

have your brother call them and tell CS that he bought the G2 and is planning an international trip and wants the unlock code. Simple
you should buy a desire z and flash a vanilla ROM on it so you'll get 3G support. Why get a super nice smart phone and only use EDGE?

You don't even need to say that. Just say you want it unlocked--you just need 40 days of active service. Check T-Mobile's SIM Unlock policy, it's the first hit on Google for "T-Mobile SIM Unlock".
Well my brother has had his account for over 5 years already. Well try calling and ask
For the unlock code because I "am leaving the country for travel" lol

Once its unlocked its unlocked . I always get mines done via tmobile live chat because u dont get all that chit chat just and ok all put that order n for u an ur have the code in 1-7days.
Also note to enter the code u must put a non tmobile sim n the phone then it will ask for unlock code. Thats how they all have worked but I havent unlocked my g2 yet tho

What do they ask for exactly?
Do they charge u for the unlock code?
stupid question but....
I don't get signal in my new house, but my friends on verison and att do. If I unlock my sim, does that mean I can use those towers when i don't have signal, or does that just mean I could switch my carrier and keep my phone? I had a rooted G1 and when I traveled to my mom's house who's town did not have t-mobile yet, I was able to use thier local carriers signal, I didn't know if everyone could do that, or if it was because my phone was rooted or what. anywho, sorry for rambling, but if someone could kindly make me less stupid be answering my question...

when we say "Unlock" we mean that you can put any simcard and the phone will pick up signal depending on the carrier.
if there are no towers near you, if you have roaming enabled, your phone will roam using other towers but they may charge you for that as far as i know.
Just called Tmobile to unlock
They said I could, that they would give me the code, but that the G2 is still not in their system, so they can't request unlock codes for this phone.
They asked me to call again in a few days.
Does that make sense?

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if it was possible to use a nexus S (t-mobile) on a dumbphone Sim. My mom just broke her phone and she always liked my nexus S, I just bought a Galaxy Nexus anyway, so I was hoping I could save her some money and give that to her.
I tried switching sims but it just tells me "No SIM card." I know I'd have to turn off the data connection for her since she doesn't have data on her plan but is it possible to make the talk and text work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It should work. For it to say no sim... try another sim or just go to the store and they can give you one. If it still says no sim, then something happened to the phone.
Well I'm com used then. Not sure what a new sim will do for me if the one from her old phone works fine on other phones. Or will they just give me one that works with the nexus S? The Tmo store also says they need to unlock the phone but I thought all Nexus S phones were unlocked. Is the something else I need to do?
u need to unlock the nexus first

Most of the guides I find are to unlock the bootloader or they just say that these phones come unlocked. Anyone know of a good guide to unlock the nexus s?

I have everything that you need to do this including tools he is talking about. Not sure if cricket will work though but worth a try. When i did it i needed to be on 4.4 i may have copy will need to check. Just private message me here and ill send you the links to my Dropbox. I'd do it now but currently on my note and need my hard drive. Hope this helps and btw what are you doing with an iphone? If the unlock doesn't work jailbreak your iphone got that stuff too. Before anything if your account with sprint is good and phone paid off call sprint they will give you the code you need to unlock it. I did it with lg very easy to do as long as account is good.
I have the Tmo version of the 6T. I was able to flash the phone with the the GSM version (international conversion) and unlock the bootloader and root. I am switching to VZW and I put in the VZW sim and it came up with carrier locked message. Since the phone doesnt have any TMO software on the phone anymore, I thought it would be carrier unlocked as well. Phone is still on EIP jump plan. Any ideas around this without paying the phone off? Sorry for the newbie question.

There are 102 pages of posts. Nothing answering my question on the first page. Simple question. Anyway to sim unlock a phone that was already converted? Or do I have to use a service or have TMO do it?
