I was wondering how I can use my AT&T s7 edge with t mobile sim card. They want to take my phone for 15 days to "unlock" it. Can't I do it myself some how?

Hello everyone,
I have a T-Mobile Wing which I want to use with an AT&T prepaid SIM card. I called T-Mobile and received the SIM unlock code, but with the AT&T SIM inserted my Wing is unable to connect to the network (it simply says "Searching..." in the left corner indefinitely).
I understand that this device does in fact work with AT&T service so I am a bit mystified. Perhaps the solution is staring me in the face and I am just too daft to see it. If anyone could shine some light on this for me I would greatly appreciate it.
Is a 3G sim card? Might not work on an Edge phone
lol you have to configure the network for it to work. Try the cab in this post:

I have an unlocked 8525 and want to use my boost mobile sim card the phone took my code but just shows "searching" for network. Help please
A quick look on google looks like they aren't gsm. I guess they are owned by Sprint.
the phones are AT&T and Cingular branded which are GSM carriers
According to one of the mods at Android Central you can switch a 900v to tmobile and get full lte speed by manually changing the apn. No need to switch to band 4. Is this true? Has anybody done it? I would love to stick in a tmobil3 sim and try it while retaining the option to go back to vzw unlimited data if tmobile signal is unsatisfactory. Thanks for your help!
900v on Tmobile
I have tried my wife's t-mobile $30/month no contract Sim card in my Sm-900v and it works great. I got 4g lte and the down load speed was 43mb. It was faster then my Verizon speed of 15mb. The t-mobile Sim card automatically stored the apn on the phone but if it does not just manually add the apn.I did verify that my band 4 was already enabled.. Band 4 has to be enabled to use on T-Mobile BUT you do not have to disable band 4 if you want to go back to verizon leave it alone. For what i understand Verizon enables band 4 out of the box so just get a cheap pre- payed card and try it out for a month. Hope this helps you out.
So no need to call for unlock code? Tmobile guy said they woildnt give me a sim without it

I bought my phone used so I do not know if it was factory unlocked.. 2nd you can just go to any store that sells t-mobile sim cards and buy a prepaid Sim card. I bought mine online from t-mobile (out of convenients) they mailed it to me.. no need to go to t-mobile store. Again buy a cheap Sim to test on your phone. Worse case if your phone is carrier locked you will only lose $30. Or if you have a friend with a different carrier try there Sim card to see Iif your phone is unlocked or not. Also you can just call Verizon customer support and just ask for the unlock code it's free.
Where does the code go? Is there a setting where?
As soon as you install new sim card and reboot phone first thing it will ask you for a unlock code.. you will enter code on same screen. If it does not ask you for a unlock code then your phone is not locked then enjoy your new tmobile phone.

So i bought a Pixel2 and want to use my S7 edge with no sim. After i did a factory reset on the phone it tells me it can't activate it and my only option is emergency call. Is there anyway around this?
nevermind figured it out, had to remove the sim that was in it as i got a new sim with the new phone.
Hi Guys, I am looking for some advice, I have a carrier unlocked s7 edge from Sprint ( our contract just ended and we called to unlock) that I would like to use Red pocket (at&t MVNO) GSMA service on. Would it be better to put the sim card in and activate on the stock sprint s7 edge software, OR should I try and find a stock at&t firmware on the device? Thanks for any advice!
