Can I unlock T-Mobile nexus one to operate at any other mobile providers like vodafone.
I'm pretty sure even a subsidized Nexus is carrier unlocked, I don't know the frequency range for vodafone and 3g so I don't know.

There's absolutely no such thing as a locked Nexus One. They're all unlocked.
even if it was locked to tmo, they will give you an unlock code for any phone 90 days after purchase. just give them a call, they will ask for the imei number, then they will email you the unlock code 2 days later.
sometimes I wonder if people even know what they are buying or even bother looking up stuff them selves
Can a mod lock this thread since the question has been answered.

Any one get an unlock code from TMobile yet? Dont want to get into the same boat as Streak 5 where I had to wait for 3 months before ATT would let me unlock my off contract phone.
I tried. They won't unlock it, not after 3 months it seems. They have an exclusive in the device and they won't be releasing an unlock option for it.
I am thinking about returning mine just for this reason.

Not before three months or never? I think xoom wifi will be out before that.

To my understanding...they will never unlock it. Other people might have better experience. You can call T-Mobile and ask.

like everyone says 3 Months is the wait time... tbh youre better off waiting for the forum to find a way to do it lol, it took like 1-2 months for someone to figure out a way with my G2
No luck unlock t-mobile dell streak 7
Here was my response from T-mobile.
T-Mobile Sim Unlock Request
Sim Unlock Reference:
IMEI:
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. Unfortunately, we are unable to process your request at this time. Per the manufacturer this device was designed to be used in conjunction with a T-Mobile SIM card only and therefore, a SIM Unlock code is not available. T-Mobile does have other handsets available for International Travel that can be unlocked to use on other networks. Please visit our website at T-mobile.com
Thank You,
Sim Unlock Department
T-Mobile USA, Inc.
Unlocking
There may be some unlocks sites that are capable of unlocking it. Since T-Mobile may become AT&T next year, I'm sure it will be unlocked soon.
How do I check to see if my Vivid is unlocked?
I know I can use a non AT&T card (it's unlocked)but I want to use the keypad method where you enter a string of numbers and the network lock on off screen shows.
If your an att customer you can call care and request an unlock code. If not search online for an unlock site there are many.

This may or may not work. ive been on the phone with att 4 times in the past week for periods of up to 2 hours and i kept getting told that "the system shows that your device doesnt currently have a unlock code available. And, the system shows there is no date for when that unlock code will be available."
i thought this was att giving me the run around...over and over again... but apparently, after taking to three managers, and getting 2 call backs from dropped calls, theyre serious..
I am ofcourse talking about the sim unlock and not the bootloader unlock.
Carriers Put Delays on Unlock Codes
When I had my HD2 on T-Mobile, their stated policy was to require a minimum of 90 days on the account before they would provide an unlock code. After that time, I was able to get one from T-Mobile with no problem. AT&T probably has a similar policy. You might could get it early if you wanted to use the phone overseas with a local SIM.

thats the exact reason i gave them. I am going overseas and i need it unlocked. i have found that it is possible to get it sim unlocked though. just have to pay between 25-45 dollars at any site offering it. just be careful which site you want, as alot of them look.. less than dependable.
If someone successfully unlocked their Vivid from one of these website, please post the URL. Thank you.
cellunlocker.net I'm in the Army and i spoke to att and they told me the same thing about that they cant give me the unlock code or some BS. google'd and found this site and in like 20 minutes i got the email with the code. But you have to have a non att sim card to do it. thankfully my cousin has tmobile and i used his sim card.

I have purchased this phone last month from someone and have tried to unlock it with the code that I purchased from website and it did not work. HOw and where do I get unlcock this phone?
I have a new C6606 from T-Mobile US. I purchased it directly from T-Mobile, they shipped it to me. When I ordered it, I specifically told them I required it be SIM unlocked because I travel frequently to China for long periods of time and I use a China Unicom SIM while there. My previous T-Mobile phones all worked great there, T-Mobile never gave me any problem giving me the unlock code. So, I requested the SIM unlock code for this new Z. I just received an email from T-Mobile telling me that they cannot give me an unlock code because the IMEI number for this phone is "unknown". They claim this phone must have been purchased from another carrier or source, so they don't have it in their database and thus they are unable to give me an unlock code. Seriously???
I'm about to give up on this phone, and maybe even T-Mobile, even though I've been a customer of theirs for over 9 years, now.
Yeah just pay to unlock is it that much expensive?

I paid $25 for unlock code from http://www.cellunlocker.net/ even though t-mo told me to wait for a few weeks before they can give me unlock code.

Maybe try replying to their email with an order confirmation showing you bought it from them and see what happens?

I actually paid $25 for their unlock code.
They might change their fees, I am not so sure.
You may mention that you have a friend refer you to them. My order ID is 480592.

If i have to purchase code can someone point me in the direction were to get the code and it actually work..

well, good job in buying the only nexus 6 thats sim locked(from att only) to use on verizon. all the other nexus 6 are not sim locked. att will give you the unlocked code after you fully pay off the nexus 6, or you can pay an online site for the unlock code.

ive never had to sim unlock a phone before, so i dont have any recommendations..
I got 2 GS5 that I paid full retail price for off contract and put on Straight Talk for AT&T and I i tried to request them to be unlocked via AT&T unlock Web page and several times it would error and say that the IMEI on both S5 Active's are not recognize. So I call AT&T support and apparently if you buy their phones out right and don't put them on Official AT&T Network then they can not unlock them..
This is total b/s.. Anyone else experience this same issue??

Not only is it total BS, it's also probably now illegal. You may want to try calling them again and if they still refuse to unlock a device that is fully paid for, threaten to file a complaint with the FCC.
Here link to read about.

Its FTC I believe. Or both even.. FTC covers business practices.
Yeah i called back and same thing they claim that they can't unlock them bc they was never on their network. FML. They told me to contact Straight Talk for the unlock code. That's totally b/s I told them how can they not unlock my 2 GS5's when it's their phone's. They still say that they can't bc neither device was never activated on their network. And threatened them to file a claim didn't do nothing

in order for the device to be SIM unlocked it MUST be activated on the carriers network, ATT rep was totally correct in telling you to contact straight talk to get the unlock codes. your other option is to have the devices activated with an ATT SIM and then get the unlock code. or you can go online and pay for the SIM unlock code I believe it costs around 30-40 dollars.
thanks for your advice, but maybe I'm just missing something I can't see how they can't send me the unlock code for a device that they Sale.. But it is what it is. Lesson learned.
My dad has Official AT&T Network service take his Sim and put it n my GS5 get everything working APN and then retry AT&T unlock Web page again. Or would I have to rock his Sim for like 30 days?
Straight Talk I don't understand how they can send me the unlock code for a device that's not theirs. Bc I'm on the BYOP.
But either way I'll try contacting Straight Talk even though I'm probably going to want time there..
Would we have to go to AT&T store and transfer this device to his line/contract ?
Or I jus throw his Sim in and set apns?
Again thanks for yalls help
