Would any of those online sim unlock websites work for the tmobile variant?
Any other options for users who don't have tmobile?

Can I use any sim card in T-mobile of US or is the phone locked
Yes, it is locked.
...but can be unlocked. T-mobile customers have a path for that through the carrier, but non-customers have the option of using one of several paid unlock services. Theres's several threads here already about those.
Hi,
I'm about to buy a locked and used Note 3 and I'm planning to unlock it with a Sim unlock code from a website. The thing is, I don't know which models can be unlock through this method. Is there any limitation? For example, can I unlock a Sprint device to use on GSM carriers? Or T-Mobile/AT&T only?
Also, for carrier locked phones, do I need to activate it beforehand with the specific carrier Sim card? For example, do I need a T-Mobile Sim card, activate the T-mobile phone and then, use my unlock Sim code with my own Sim card? Or can I just skip the activation process and ?
Thank you so much for your time!
Hi - I bought a G900F off ebay which is apparently sim locked to the EE network. My sim card is Tesco Mobile (great deal).
From what I have read, rooting/flashing custom Rom will not unlock the network sim lock.
Is my only option to have EE unlock the phone? Any recomendations for websites which are trustworthy and include the EE network?
Does it matter if the person I bought the phone off did not use the phone before? Would this mean it has a region lock?
This is all very boring, my GS3 was so easy to get working.
Thanks,
RG
It doesn't matter what the status of your phone is or what network it is servicing. You will just need to input the unlock code numbers on the keypad. You have to pay a fee of course.
Hi there,
Sorry to say that I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find the right search query to find a decent answer.
I'm curious what the value of a sim unlock from one of the many websites out there is? I don't mean the price, but will that code alone make my phone usable in a different region (assuming that the network type is supported?)
I've read a lot of information about region locks on phones, as well as SIM locks. I guess to simplify my question: Do I need to do both of these things, or is the SIM unlock sufficient?
Also, is there a site that sells these codes which XDA supports?
Thanks so much to anyone who can help or direct me to a decent answer.
Well, that depends on how your cell phone is locked. Some phones are locked to a region, let's say if it's region locked in europe it will work with any SIM card in europe, but some are SIM locked to a specific carrier and they will work only with SIM cards from that network and that country. The most unlocking websites on the market sell SIM unlock codes, because if one has an locked phone and whant to use another sim card, it's probably SIM locked. There are many reliable unlocking online services out there, like www.unlockradar.com or www.unlockbase.com

Network unlock codes? In general, this device is unlocked, works on all carriers in your region, and doesn't need any codes.
If you have a carrier locked device, like from Consumer Cellular, then the only way to unlock is to go through their process or find a 3rd party seller on eBay or similar service that can provide that unlock code since it is unique to each IMEI number.
