Sim unlock will allow you to use a Tmobile Sim card in an ATT Phone
CID Unlock will allow you to flash roms not lock to that carrier.
Example Tmobile roms and custom roms.
Hope that helps....

thanks a lot for clearing up the confusion
so all of i have to do is follow the directions for flashing and use the sim unlock and cid unlock to install custom roms

Easiest way to see if phone is SIM unlocked??

Is there some easy way to see if it is SIM unlocked? I don't have any SIMs I can put into it to test, so I'm wondering if there is a way to see it via the software. This is for an AT&T Tilt.
Thanks.

on htc wizard usually use WST to check the SIM - Unlock

help! my M8 didn't ask me about the unlock code

I try to unlock my Sprint M8,I tried T-mobile and AT&T sim card.
But my phone didn't likes youtube video, My phone didn't ask me about the unlock code. It just simply tell me the sim card is Invalid.
I have tried to use the unlock helper to unlock it, but it just unlock the internation lock.
I still want to unlock the domestic carrier lock.
Is it the ROM problem?
My phone use the Android 4.4.3,and it is S-OFF.
Please help me!

If you're trying to unlock your phone to use it on another domestic carrier, you're not going to be able to do that. SIM unlocking will work for international use.

You must be on stock rom to use a sim-unlock code. You can also sim-unlock using the sieempi method if you have s-off.
