I am on the hunt for a trustworthy site that I can pay $10-20 (or whatever) for an unlock code for a T-Mobile locked G1. I am on AT&T along with all of my friends, so access to someone's T-Mobile account is a no go!
Most of these unlock sites look like scams, which ones have any of you used that worked well?
Thanks!
never used such a service but if there is a seller on ebay that the only thing he sells is unlock codes, and he has a rating of 95+ per cent of positive feedback from lots of buyers, he's probably trustworthy
btw first try calling t-mobile and just ask.

Don't waste your money on one of these sites. If you don't know anyone at all who uses T-Mobile, PM me the IMEI of your phone and I will see if I can get the unlock code for you.
Just checked out the GT in a local store. Cute hardware. But they wouldn't sell it to me without passport and social security number. So much for picking up a U.S. tab while on holidays...
Were you trying to buy it at the off contract price? Were you paying cash?
I definitely wanted the "off-contract" GT. I would have been happy to pay cash, but we didn't get that far...
PS: On the t-mobile web page you need to pick an "even more" or "even more plus" plan to order.
Are you visiting friends in the States? If so, have them buy it for you. Or try a different T-mobile corporate store.
They can sell it to you without any credit check just like any item in the store if you are paying up front. Maybe they were just trying to make more money and/or save it for somebody who was going to sign up for service. Sad but it happens.
I just brought mine
I just brought one from tmobile store (no contract), and didn't ask for any credit check
I called up the other stores in town and they do require you to get at least one month of service with it. Which then entails a credit check, even if its only month-to-month. I guess ahbvrh was just lucky and ran into a CSR who wasn't aware of these rules. Yay!
you can simply buy a prepaid data plan (10$) and that will save you the credit check.
Im still loooking for the tmobile sim unlock code so I can use my existing corporate sim card which is AT&T

I am a current T-mobile prepaid user. I tried buying the tab with and without telling them my t-mobile number, but no luck...

Are you saying that the 599.- "off-contract" GT is sim-locked to t-mobile US?? That would be insane...
That's no policy of Tmobile but maybe something they are doing in that region or those particular stores. There is no policy that says you have to buy a month of service for any device on tmobile now that they have the prepaid webconnect plans too. Even before that though you never needed to sign up for service to just buy a device its just expensive.
Yes,it locked for tmobile,but im sure it is possible to find unlock code somewhete
If you pay full invoice price its still sim locked but you are allowed to request the sim unlock code from tmobile. Just one catch you gotta have an account with tmobile to process that request.
That good to know,I just faxed them my recipt ,I will see if they will send me the unlock .....
Good luck! The t-mo web page say: http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm51885.xml
For customers with a T-Mobile Postpaid Plan, T-Mobile will provide the SIM Unlock Code upon request to eligible customers, provided the requesting customer has a minimum of 40 days of active service with T-Mobile.
To me, that sounds like you have to wait >1 month... Yay!
it seem this is only for postpaid users....,I just bought prepaid data plan....
I'm sure there is a way to unlock using root or something

Oh yeah good point, you are the lucky one that got one on prepaid. Though in that case its even worse, and the same page says:
For customers with a T-Mobile Prepaid Plan, T-Mobile will provide the SIM Unlock Code upon request to eligible customers, provided the requesting customer has a minimum of 60 days of active service with T-Mobile and either a Prepaid Plan account balance of at least $10.00 or a prior refill within the last 30 days.
However, a quick google search brings up various pages that send you an unlock code for $$$...
I dont mind paying few extra bucks for gettong the unlock code.
googling it up show only one site that promise unlock code for the galaxy tab,but it is for the sprint vetsion,and I'm not sure it will work on the tmobile one...
Confused! I thought CDMA devices were never locked and if you wanted to change carrier (eg Sprint to Verizon) you just needed to get the new carrier to register the devices ESN on their network (which is often easier said than done!).

Tmobile is GSM
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I know. I was referring to the previous poster who mentioned unlock codes for sprint, which CDMA.

Does anyone have a friends and family code or any other promo codes that may work for a MXPE
I noticed we share the Samsung pay codes to get the free $5 but I haven't seen anyone share the Amazon codes yet.
Setup the Amazon Underground app on you device and use my code and you'll get a free $5 off your first purchase.
Use my link to get $5 for signing into the Amazon App the first time: http://amazon.com/mrp?refcust=CHRIS59595N&ref_=mrp_10005_shr_ss_wl97918_C
