Confirmed! I got a code from unlockadic on EBay and now have my Vibrant on ATT! FU TMobile!
Could you not have just bought a captivate?
Sure, but wanted a Vibrant and got one used much cheaper. Plus, I don't have a contract and don't want to have one.

Yeah I am confused, what is the benefit of having a vibrant on AT&T as opposed to just getting a captivate? Aren't you basically running the same phone but without 3G?
We're all happy for you, not sure why though.
Plus, I need to use it out of the country and att wouldn't unlock the Captivate for 10 months, even if bought at full price. What do you mean no 3g? I am using 3g on it no prob.
Being that there have been several people wanting to unlock it without success, I figured I would let everyone know that this source is confirmed to work. If you aren't concerned, why bother posting that you don't care?

Really? That is interesting I have always been told that the tmo and AT&T 3G networks weren't compatible, and my unlocked mytouch has no 3G access.
Edit; It isn't that I didn't care I was just confused at the benefit of doing it considering the availability of nearly the same device on the network you are using it on.
maybe you should give Simple Mobile a try since it's unlocked. $60 a month for unlimited everything, no contract. An additional $10 gets you international calling. Sorta like Boost Mobile, except you supply your own unlocked GSM phone. There's a one time $12.99 fee to get their SIM.
I went this route with my daughter as I was able to get her a cheap used slider phone for practically nothing.
And the reason why this worked for him is the Vibrant supports the UMTS1900 band that AT&T uses. One of the rare T-Mobile phones that does.
I am confused how you are using 3G? ATT uses 850mhz band for their 3G and the Vibrant only is able to use 3G on either 1700mhz or 2100mhz. Am I missing something here?

Yep, 3g is working. The places I will be spending time in out of the USA don't have many options for service. Basically I buy prepaid sims and don't use data.
I have been with ATT so long that I still have the $15/mo unlimted data. Which is low enough to warrant leaving the account on while I am out of the country.
So to recap, ATT would not let me unlock the Captivate for 10 months even if I bought it outright. (I spent a long time talking to them to find this out as I was about to purchase a Captivate)
I do not want to get into a new contract
I need to use it out of the country.
I got a Vibrant used at a good deal.
That Simple Mobile looks like a good deal! If I didn't have the $15/mo unlimited data now, I would give them a shot.

I don't know but it is working. I have crappy service at my house (for all carriers) and it goes back and forth between "3G" and "E". When I have a descent signal, it sure seems pretty snappy so I believe it is 3G. I will try a speed test when I am in a good signal location. Aren't the Captivate and Vibrant the same hardware wise? Wouldn't it make sense that it would work with ATT 3G if that is the case?
They area similar hardware but the radios are carrier specific. I am pretty sure it won't work on 3G on ATT for the same reason the iPhone doesn't work on T-Mo's 3G. You must be seeing some sort of glitch on your phone. Definitely try a speed test while you are on 3G and let us know!

I am confused about the Vibrant's 3G capabilities on ATT network as well...
When I had my Nokia N95 unlocked it didn't work on TMO's 3G but did on ATT's network. The same deal with iPhones, they won't work on TMO's 3G and limited to EDGE.
Well, I will have TMO unlock my Vibrant and pop my blackberry's ATT card in to see what's the deal.
You should of got an iphone... Lol.
Good luck with working it all out!

Hey guys, I was searching the interwebs for some general unlocking info and I found this from a couple years ago. Pretty interesting I think, what happened to this? Are they actually reflashing phones in-store? As far as the "gradual opening of the US wireless market"...it's gradual indeed

Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
MetroPCS will allow you to use some CDMA handsets from other providers, yes. But you don't get data; you'll have to figure out how to do that yourself. I know plenty of folks who put OG Droids and EVOs on Ghettro, though I don't know why... 1xRTT is pretty miserable, way too slow for a real smartphone... and their LTE isn't compatible with Verizon LTE handsets afaik.

Interesting. So are GSM data standards are more inter-compatible between carriers than with CDMA? (I had to look up what 1xRTT is =) )

It's the same principle, each carrier runs their network on different frequencies, except most who use the same technology also use the same texting/phone frequencies.
If Metro had the same 3G bands as Verizon, a Verizon phone would work fine.
MetroPCS doesn't have EV-DO at all.
Yes they do. if you are using their latest .prl (3025) and your phone is 3G capable, you will get 3G in the rare places where it is available. i live in nyc and did not get 3g on metro unless i went to Brooklyn . i used the speedtest app and it got 300ish kbps on an evdo network. not bad speed for metropcs, but very slow compared to what im using now.

There are two stores around me that do it. $50 to get your phone on there network. Only one of them does the data. Not sure how much they charge. But it's not officially done by metro. It's individuals who work in the store and the money goes to them.

What's double data. I typically use around 150 gb a month. That's why I like unlimited.
I met a guy recently on Simple Mobile and he seemed happy, I'm thinking of switching soon. I mean, unlimited 3G data, text and talk for $40 a month including international texting? Considering my phone only does 3G (Vibrant) anyways...
But, I also don't use that much data.

They have a promo where if you order 2GB for 30$ you automatically get 4GB and, pay for 5GB ($50) get 10GB, and so on....
ALSO: To anyone thinking of Simple mobile go with the higher priced option. The 40$ dollar option doesn't give you access to 4G speeds (T-Mobile's HSPA+ in this case) even if your phone is only 3G capable you will see a speed boost.

So I'm currently using the Motorola Atrix on AT&T and I will be selling it for the N4. I was just wondering if I will have any problems using it with at&t or something. My contract ends in 5 months and I will be going prepaid after that. Thanks.
No problems, other than you won't have LTE. You have to set the APN manually as well, before data works. But calling works right off the bat
I wonder if it will work on Medianet, or if At&t will flag them all right away.

I would be surprised if Google didn't add AT&T's APN by default. Surely you aren't correct about this (not that it matters).
You will also need to pay $27 to get your sim changed to a micro sim... (EVEN if you buy it before hand...)

They will replace your SIM for free if you go to an official AT&T store. If you go to an "AT&T Authorized Retailer", then they may or may not do it for free.
Go here: http://www.att.com/storelocator/
Look at locations near you, and go to one that says "AT&T" and not one that says "AT&T Authorized Retailer", and you should be good.

E-X-A-C-T-L-Y. I am on AT&T too, and yup. On a contract, I have unlimited data, and my area gets pretty decent-great reception, so HSPA+ even at 21Mbps will do me well. And the point that it is unlocked, and it being a high spec phone for 299-349 $ blows my mind. Selling my S3 for this! I don't even have LTE in my area, so its al good! Gotta love a nexus!

^ this is good info. I just called the att STORE down the road and they said just come in and they will give it to me free.
The deal is, I'm a paying customer. They don't give a shyte about anything else. Especially when Someone like me can just change to straight talk and walk away..
This aint my first rodeo.
So after discovering that our shiny devices indeed did have true LTE capabilities, many of us were eager to try it out. Some of you Canadians or T-mobile customers were lucky enough to be the first to access the LTE networks when they went online.
My question is directed more towards the Tmo customers, rather than international users as I am no familiar with any other county's rules or regulations.
Aren't you worried that if or when T-mobile finds out you are accessing their LTE network using this mysterious "illegal" device of yours you will get your device blacklisted? I sure would love it if they sent out some sort of warning Free T-mobile txt message or a courtesy phone call letting you know that you're a criminal, prior to the blacklist.
Has anyone encountered anything of this sort? Perhaps anyone have any information to share of this topic?
Also, anyone using only LTE throughout the day, how are the battery and signal?

It is not illegal and im sure tmobile won't be able to do anything to stop it.

You don't need a phone that's certified by T-Mobile themselves to run it on their network. T-Mobile is a cellular network provider, and has no say on what phones you can and can not use for LTE if you're paying for their service. They tell you the bands you can access with any device capable of connecting to them for a reason. This includes the Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 is 4G LTE capable, and supports T-Mobile's LTE tech. You can tell a rep. yourself that you got it working. They can't do anything about it. Its your phone and if anything, it would be illegal on their part to blacklist your device because you pay for the service, and you're not getting it in full with the device they have sold to you.

If this in fact is the case, then is great news. Somehow I don't think it will settle just like that. Corporations want to sell & sell. Who's going to buy SGS4s or HTCs if we all have LTE in our phones and we are allowed to use it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
T-mobile doesn't want you buying a new phone. They would love to have customers who bring their own phones and pay for their service. In fact that is the whole basis of their new contract free "un" carrier marketing campaign. If the Nexus 4 is capable of running on lte, although they won't provide tech support for it, there is no reason for them to proactively block it.
They don't make much off the devices they sell they make the money off the monthly contract.
Just like Comcast doesn't care what TV you have they just need you to pay that monthly bill.
T-Mobile or the FCC is not going to do a damn thing to the end users. If anyone that's going to get the pointed finger, that'll be Google.
LG and Google tried to hide the fact that the phone is LTE capable, but the OPEN SOURCE community, as gifted as they are, discovered that the device IS capable.
I also called T-Mobile pretending to be interested in buying a Note 2. I was trying to play off that I have T-Mobile's true un-throttled unlimited data currently and asked if I purchased the Note 2 if will be able to access the LTE network with no ramifications/fines/extra hidden fees and the representative said, yes, you will be able to use LTE with nothing effecting your current account.

Keep in mind that they will be selling the Sprint variant. This phone will not work on other networks as good as it does on any Sprint network provider. LTE will only work on Sprint. HSPA should work on other networks since they share the same frequencies, but whenever you don't have that, you need CDMA as fallback. End result is a really crappy coverage unless you live in a metro area with good Sprint HSPA.

I think you will have to check with RW. They have to install their special hybrid software to make this Wi-Fi calling to work. If you put a new ROM, the hybrid software may not be compatible. Check with them.

Republic Wireless rides on the Sprint network, so you're likely limited to Sprint. You could probably maybe put an ATT or T-Mo sim and get voice, and maybe HSPA+ on ATT like the Verizon X can, but I doubt T-Mo would be above EDGE speeds.

That would be a good point to argue. But one scenario can be that somebody is stuck in Sprint contract and have a sub par phone. In that case paying $299 for moto x is a steal. In any case, if the speeds on the $40 RW plan is similar to Sprint speeds, then RW plan is the clear choice.

I'm currently paying a hair over $100 on Sprint a month right now for service plus insurance. I'm strongly considering paying the etf and going to RW
