unlocking t-mobile G2

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?

Search for GSM UNLOCK HD2. If you are on T-Mobile call them and request unlock code - it's free. If you got your phone on ebay used or somethign they may not do it - therefore, you need to pay around I think 20-30$ to get code from ebay -0 then you'll be all set.
BTW - HD2 will have only EDGE speed on AT&T network.
If you can get Samsung Vibrant or Galaxy S 4G - both of those can be unlocked and do support 3G ATT network.

So how would this work on android?

You obtain a code (buy or get it from T-Mobile) then insert At&t sim card into your phone, turn it on and it will ask you for it...
OMG I am so smart... jk - easy shiii dude,,,

Unlock

I have AT&T and am trading an unlocked HD7 so can I unlock this MyTouch4G VIA root or any other way? I don't have the money to pay for an unlock code.

I hope you know you will not get HSPA+ speeds. The bands are different.
And look in my signature. You'll see a link for ./gfree rooting. It'll allow you to SIM unlock the phone.

Well the guy told me it was unlocked and was for Tmobile and I have AT&T and so I don't need the high quality speeds, I usually don't use my phone for internet anyways. But I do want to know what the difference is between this MyTouch4G section on XDA and the Tmobile MyTouch4G Section?

This is the T-Mobile Mytouch 4G section...?
Only TmoUS carries the Mytouch 4G, though Canada carries this phone, but with a different name. They call it the HTC Panache

Hi you can unlock your HTC by unlock codes it is the safe way to unlock your mobile..for codes you can try Mobileunlocksolutions.com and unlock your mobile.and rooting is different from unlocking if you want to know more about rooting then just visit android.modaco.com where they are discussing about rooting an HTC Hero and if you wish to root your mobile just see the instructions from xda-developers.com

Info on unlocking

I have a few brief questions regarding unlocking and such thanks in advance.
So I recently bought a new phone and want to this give this phone to my Girl but she's in at&t.Would it be possible for her to use it even though its a T-Mobile phone and she doesn't have a data plan with at&t?
Another question is this glacier is rooted so is it unlock? or is there a total diffieent process to "unlock " this phone? so maybe she can use it for other carrier..
Thanks for any input would be appreciated,good day

1a) this this is a GSM phone, yes you can use it on any GSM network if you have a SIM card from your carrier. IF the HSPA(+) bands are different you will not get HSPA(+), you will only get EDGE/edge signal or lower.
1b) AT&T might pick up that she is using a smart phone and automatically want to charge for for a data, IF you delete the APNs it should prevent them from "talking" to her phone.
2) Rooting doesn't equal SIM unlocking. You can be unlocked w/o being rooted, or be rooted w/o being unlocked.

You can call sprint. If your phone is payed off and in good standing they will give you the iccid unlock code so you can use another sim card.

There are other methods but they cost a fee and honestly I don't know how legal they are although they do work. There was an article on xda about a week ago about an unlocking website. I forgot the link though but it costs about 10-15 dollars.
EDIT: Here is a link to the xda article https://www.xda-developers.com/benefits-carrier-unlocking/ also no prices on the site that they mentioned but I have found unlocks for the above price. I just don't trust them. I feel that is easier and safer to go through your carrier.

I have been wondering if this is possible on Verizon. I'm considering purchasing a clean ESN Sprint G6 and unlocking it to use on Verizon. Do you know if this is doable?

before purchasing ask for IMEI and contact verizon to see if they will allow a foreign ESN on their network. Verizon G6 is factory unlocked

Hello,
I'm outside of USA.
I have unlocked Sprint LG G6 using service from ebay.
For now I can use GSM sim card and make a calls. I configured APN and data turns ON and web browsing is working fine.
BUT messangers works very strange... telegram sends only text, not photos, viber not works at all....
Why? It's sprint specific setting like tunneling/proxy? How I can remove it? Any workarrounds?
I can pay if anybody can resolve this issue
