I want to unlock my T-Mobile Wing

I don`t know how or what software use.... so if you can help me THANKS.
(Sorry for my english i'm from latinamerica)
don`t worry for your answer I understand very well english language.

t-mobile will unlock it for free.

how I do that?
how T-Mobile can unlock my phone? cuz when I buy the phone don't have any sim card so I don`t know which is the operator. when I turn on the pda the screen show me a question about a code... I DON`T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
I try with 1234 and 12345678 and NOTHING is locked again and I have to wait a several minutes for try again and that sucks!!!!

Your best bet if T-Mo won't cough up an unlock code, you may have to check out a service for it. There's plenty of places that can unlock ur fone for a price... it's definitely worth it. Just search around

Just call up T-Mo and tell them you are traveling overseas and need to unlock your phone. They'll give you some sort of code you type in.

Correct me if I¡m wrong. You are from Latin America, so you bought your Wing on Ebay or something alike. If that's correct and as T-Mo does not have service in LAmerica, there's no chance to request them the unlock code because the phone is no longer binded to a T-Mo account. It's kind of odd it was not originally unlocked (I got mine through Ebay and I'm LAmerican too). At this point mi advice would be to take it to a tech shop and have it unlocked. It won't be expensive and once unlocked works really great!!

Hehe, I guess I just had a sales chimp try n sell me. When I called in to get my code. The broad would ask me the question all the time "why don't you want to be in our network" or "want to start an account?" Eventually I had to get crunk with her and say "because I don't want to... 1st amendment " She then asked if I had a t-mobile SIM card in the phone and I told her "no" coz i didn't. She then proceeded to tell me "you have to be a customer with us for 6 months before we can give you an unlock code"
Perhaps I should have been a little more persistent but oh well. I may have had to pay 10 bucks but I got what I wanted in the end hehe

In my case... I no longer have t-mobile service, and haven't had it for a good 6 months or so. My current phone (samsung eternity) has a mic that is going lame that they won't cover - and I always liked my old Wing better anyway. I got excited when I pulled it out and downloaded a new rom for it- and with my new data plan I could actually use IM! Unfortunately I discovered that the phone is not unlocked, contrary to what they told me when I bought it off of ebay...
It's ridiculous that I'd have to pay money to use a piece of hardware that I already own. Why are carriers even allowed to sim-lock phones in the first place? Isn't locking the Average Joe into a 2-year contract enough?
But I digress. After reading all these threads with frustrated regulars and whiny newbies, I guess it's either pay to unlock or get myself a new phone, eh..

Thats why i dont buy phones off of Ebay and really does it hurt that much to pay some extra $ to sim unlock ur phone? anyways sim-lokcing the phones was so that other carriers wouldnt use that device but now...pretty much all carriers have the same hTC device but to there own customized verisons of that certain device

New user droid 3 xt862 - assistance

Hello guys, I just goot this device used from someone in the US. It is locked on GSM, but rooted.
At this I am most interested in getting it unlocked and explore further which is, learning bootstrapping, changing recovery and loading custom roms.
I spoke to Verizon extensively today and was told, they wouldn't be able to give me the unlock code unless it was activated on the network. After a long conversation, the global support team suggested that if I know someone in the US on the Verizon network, what could possibly be done is activating this phone on their current contract, right away share the unlock code and move the Verizon user to their previous phone. All on one call, with a feww minutes? Do Verizon users or with similar experience share their insight, if this would work out with getting an unlock code from them?
I don't really want to go through the idea of finding someone, going through the call and finding out, the person I spoke to was mistaken about all this possible on a single call..
Any other ways to unlock the phone? I don't like the idea of paying money to a website for the unlock code and possibly the code not working, with no refunds.
I've already spent on the phone with the risk of not ever being able to unlock it.
I know, there are threads with unlocking info, but a lot of users I realized were still unable to unlock their phones.
Looking forward to expert insights, and thanks a load everyone!
Cheers.

To add, I am not physically in the US, neither is the phone. Phones GSM bands are apparently compatible with the GSM networks in my country.
Thanks!

Unfortuanlty that is the only way to unlock an xt862. Unless it has never been activated on verizons network. As I understand it verizon changes the sim unlock code upon first activation. Even if that is the case you will still need a code from an unlock site(or possibly your nearest cell repair store)

Ok. Unlock4Moto.com is where I am currently planning to purchase it from - they don't have specific verizon codes, but motorola xt862 in general.
Really really hoping, that verizon didn't change the lock code during its few months of activation.
Scared now of not having to use the device as only a PDA..
Thanks for the response.
Can others also pls share their experiences, thanks!

Ya if its been activated previously the code from unlock4moto will probably fail. In addition if you have too many fails the phone will go into susbsidy lock(or something similar) and will need a PUK(personal unlock code) from verizon to even be functional. You could try just calling verizon repeatedly and explain your perdicament to a new agent each time until you find one that will just give you the sim unlock code. I do believe that it needs to be connected to verizons network at the time though there are several threads of ppl who have had this same problem. Its pretty ****ty. I might recommend selling it and getting the xt860 model. Its easier to unlock and is also global GSM.

That really sounds crappy :-( I do although plan to buy one and see what happens. Just hoping, I am lucky. Else, I will trt and resort to finding someone from verizon to help me with the situation.
In regards to selling it, I purchased the phone in the us with a friends address almost a month back, and received it in hand just today. Really wouldn't want to sell it yet or thar I might not even find a buyer for a locked phone in my country.
Tough situation I am in, thanks though and wish me luck!

You can bypass the Verizon setup by tapping the four corners of the setup window. At least this will make the phone useable.

That would make the phone usable as a PDA (wifi only), but I think he mentioned that wasn't his goal. Still good info to have while waiting for unlock though.
OP, the phone definitely needs to be activated on a Verizon account temporarily so it can communicate with their system for unlock code to work. Maybe you can place an ad on craigslist offering some money or something similar. People have nothing to lose by helping you if they don't have a global phone or if they never travel outside the US. If they've already done it before, I believe they have to wait ten months before they can unlock another phone on their line. Just fyi.
Good luck!

Ahh here's another catch then. But I guess, someone who doesn't travel out might be willing.
Btw, just a quick question, so like the support person told me that I can get the phone activated on Verizon without the phone having to be physically in the US, can someone confirm that's possible?
Also, while at it, if someone on XDA is willing to help me with the situation, it would be awesome! I don't mind looking at the option of a monetary incentive for the assistance.
Thanks!

True-ish
Having been through the SIM unlock route myself, here is what I found out. The Droid3 Sim unlock code modification is presented in the first Over The Air (OTA) update. And it doesn't effectively change the code. It adds a modified algorithm to the existing code which has to match up to the one they provide you with. Just like an md5 sum would be incorrect if anything is missing or altered. If the phone is or is returned to the original software that came on the phone (i.e. SBF / Fastboot / Flash) then this algorithm is not present in the firmware and thus the code you recieve from a third party vendor should work. I would surf around and find a trusted source with a strong reputation. When you find a company that states they can do it for you then ask them what their success rate is with the Droid 3 in particular.
As far as the subsidy lock......mine was just like the droid 2 global, when I tried too many attempts it subsidy locked on me ( I was trying different variations that I found in different areas of RadioComm to see if I could circumvent the system, finally gave up). I didn't touch it and let it sit on the subsidy lock request screen for about an hour and it asked me again for the sim unlock code. I finally got the right code through my inderect agent rep and voila. Hope this helps. I've been unlocking a rack of Droid2 and 3 for myself and friends lately, so if any of the information provided is cross-device (I sometimes get confused) then hopefully a guru will correct me. But this is to the best of my recollection.
If you haven't succeeded in about a week I'll be having my acct transferred from an employee line to a consumer acct and I can help you with swapping it to my service briefly and getting in touch with global support. Just pm me or send a message to my gmail - same username queberican351
take care and best of luck

Hey thanks for the info. All of it made lots of sense. So at this point i am hoping that the OTA update didnt happen on device in its lifetime with the first owner although I am almost sure its highly unlikely.
I am currently most inclined towards unlock4moto.com for the code, hoping it works out.
Regarding flashing the OS version to the factory default version, I will try learning how to flash the roms on this device since I think the way to flash roms on motorolas are pretty different to other phones.
And thanks, really really appreciate the offer of helping me out if I don't succeed in a week.
Thanks!
P.s. first message on xda using the droid 3 (in airplane mode), wonderful phone!

Good news guys. The code from unlock4moto.com worked perfectly.
This makes me think that Verizon doesn't change the code on their network, because the phone was used for a couple months on their network prior to being detached from their network.
But there's another sad news too, which is, right after being unlocked I had to give it to my sister.. So I guess I will stick around to my Desire Z for another while.
Thanks everyone who helped me get my direction right and opted to help me, cheers!

Prepare for a soap box, I've hidden this now because as relevant as it is, it's a little over the top.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CALL SPRINT AND GET AN DEVICE UNLOCK CODE FROM THEM! It's pretty simple. Ya'll need to quit with all these posts. You're not encouraging anyone to do any work any quicker than they might already be doing it. You are simply being an annoyance. Twenty thousand posts about the same thing is getting really old. Buy a phone that works with your SIM card, buy a device already SIM unlocked, or wait until someone figures out a way!
STOP ASKING A MILLION TIMES OVER FOR THE SAME THING!!
This post is not just against you but EVERYONE begging over and over again about the same thing. The same thing goes for those with 64 bit devices who beg for a 64 bit recovery.

....
Ok sherlock, Already called sprint before i made this post. You know what was their answer? "WE CANT UNLOCK IT, SORRY SIR". Yes, very dissapointing, I know. She told me "you can only use the wifi". Like, if she would answer me - Get lost.
And btw, I already have a phone, A OnePlus One I just bought these 2 sprint phones from amazon for super cheap - 30$ each. I've been planning using them as a backup / Give one for my sister's boyfriend. So, just saying again, I hope someone can do it and unlock it..

Go after Sprint
Seems to me that we are growing frustrated at the wrong people...
Obama signed into law a few months back that requires the phones to be "Unlockable" by the end user. I do know, a lot of the carriers have voluntarily put in promise to comply in the future, in regards to selling Unlockable phones. But, I just see it as lip service and does not help us Now.
Someone or a group of people need to take this up with the FCC or Justice Department...
But at the very least file a class action lawsuit on two fronts... I personally am miffed about this same phone being marketed as a 4 Gig of internal memory, when in fact it really has about 1.5 Gigs or less of available memory. And, this whole SIM/Locked, S-On, Bootloader Locked nonsense.

Well Watson, if Sprint wont help you, instead of creating such a useless thread--that helps nobody and gets you no answers--how about you utilize the search function and notice that nobody has currently found a way to sim unlock (save Virgin Mobile apparently). You'll also notice how many useless posts there are about this same thing. So "for the love of god", either figure it out yourself or sit patiently. You posting about this issue, really a non-issue, is not going to get it solved any faster. You are simply being an annoyance just like every other user incessantly posting about the same thing. I'm sorry if this seems mean or whatever but that post wasn't necessarily directed at you but all the damn posts about this non-issue. And honestly this is something you should have researched and considered before you bought the phone.
Sorry, I'm off the soap box.
Also, try calling Sprint International Customer Service at 1-888-226-7212 and tell them you are going to be traveling abroad to whatever country you want and tell them you want to use a local sim card while you're there. I can't tell you that they'll definitely do it because on the website it says that prepaid phones are not eligible to be unlocked, however, there are multitude of places on the internet (some respected, others not so much) that you can go to and get your MSL code. Also, this is the bill @flash4yish was talking about which you might bring up in conversation with Sprint, H.R.1123 - Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act
Regardless, just chill, people are in fact working on it as it's a hot topic in the forums so it's really just a matter of time.

[Q] An honest site needed to buy imei

I've tried unlocking all but after too many hours of reading,searches,downloads,installs than virus removals and rooting and money. Used my credit card 3 times for sim unlock at online companies. All three screwed me but got money back from one. I think cause they are Canadian phones.
They gave me these reasons and a few more. Than kept my money.
The phone is blacklisted by the provider or reported lost or stolen
It is now illegal within the USA to unlock Phones purchased after January 26th 2013, if your phone was purchased after this date it cannot be unlocked.Although this model is generally un-lockable, there are instances where codes cannot be generated.
The IMEI number submitted was incorrect.
I check on these and none pertain to these phones n the imei # was correct.
In Canada its Not illegal here to unlock if you own the phone out-rite.
I'm looking for an honest place online that sells the imei or just the sim unlock codes for a good price. The average price from the networks like rogers
here is $50 and that's half of the phones worth. I'm retired can't afford that.
Right now I'm trying to unlock my Samsung galaxy S3 mini.
Anyone know a $5 to $10 site?
I own all four cells.
Sony Erricson xperia X10a Rogers Canada

Hey Joeroni I understand why you don't want to pay $50 to unlock a $100 phone.
But we can't really help with any recommendations cause we might offend someone
here that sells codes or software.Even though you have been ripped off from
some online companies.There are many ways here to unlock your phone but we
understand that one click root n unlock is much harder than stated and many
have bricked their phones.Which you can't afford to do.Like when you one click
root n unlock your Canadian Huawei Ascend Y300-0151.Its rooted n modem unlocked
but still locked to Bell.So learn roms now. Besides there are so many softwares
for Samsung that don't do your Canadian Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, Canadian Model
SM-G730W8. Which you found out after hours n hours of reading n trying. We also
don't like answering people that are not geniuses already at this stuff. Not
even suggesting on the easiest software that you can buy credits that definitly
works on your Canadian phones.
So rather than learning to do your own phones here. Why don't you just quit
trying and pay the $40 and go to the corner shop n have them do it.Them shops
are popping up all over the place. Sound right?

lost or stolen phones
If less people bought "lost or stolen" phones there would be lots less lost or stolen phones.

And like I said they are not stolen or blacklisted. They are difficult because they are Canadian and software little diff. They are mine. You see while some sell software others codes n so fourth. Its all about money now. This site used to help people now it seems like all retail just want money now or THEY GET IGNORANT if your a newbie and not a genius at roms n stuff. Or I guess putting out money to the site. To have to pay half of what the phones are worth just to unlock them is wrong. Most learned how to do it from this site for years. Now I get they must be stolen.

If the phones in question are tied by contract to a particular service provider they are not owned by you. If you owned the phones legally and they are not tied by any contract unlocking would be simply achieved by calling the service provider to release the handset. If you wish to circumvent the law or break a phones link to a contract illegally why would you ask here. Such activities are expressly prohibited by this site and abusing members for not providing you with the tools to do this is disgraceful.

Listen here I keep telling you trouble maker that they are good. I know about all that stuff. Two I got after 2 year contract n went with other company . Then two bought out rite. I've already called the companies that were my providers from each phone. Asked how much to unlock them. That was my first move. Rogers checked and my cell was ok not blacklisted with them and wanted $50 plus 15% tax . I thought that was too much cause by law they have to provide an unlock to me. They said ya for a price $50.00 It's the same at the other major providers like bell fido rogers that i tried. All phones are ok to unlock but i must pay too much. So I try some online imei codes but get ripped off n now they have my credit card numbers. Damn. So I do searches n read n check out every software figuring ill do myself and pay for credits. but most software i checked does the samsung galaxy S3 mini but not the Canadian SM-G730W8 model. Same with my ol Sony Ericsson Xperia X10a. Different than regular x10. So I come here ask for few links or help. I get a senior member giving me BS. Your a trouble maker themountig and I don't need your help or accusations. Now once again people they have been checked and are all ok.

I checked the IMEI for your S3 and it has not been blacklisted, so I believe you when you say you own it outright. I also went ahead and removed your IMEI numbers from this thread because unscrupulous people will transfer them to devices that have been blacklisted so that those devices can work again. This activity is illegal in most places that support IMEI blacklisting and typically any discussion about how to change your IMEI is removed from xda.
In this case, I think why you really want is to SIM unlock your device. I am not sure what the laws are in Canada, and depending on where you live the carrier may or may not be required to provide you with an unlock code for free. Pretty much everywhere they have to do it if you own the phone. Typically SIM unlocking your device is not something that is supported very much on xda...rooting, unlocking the bootloader, yeah that gets done a lot around here.
You may want to bring up the issue with whomever you want as your new provider. They may be able to help you with Rogers or they may have another solution for you. Vodafone took care of an issue with my old provider when I switched to them. It is probably best to stay away from the online SIM unlocking services because it is really easy to get ripped off.
Good luck!

Thank you justmpm. I did not think about why people would want my old imei numbers. I did contact the company and yes they have to open it but at their price. That $50 is half of what I can buy the same phone unlocked online. My kids friends are techs at HP (bunch of crazy kids) and will unlock my phone this weekend if need be. They are also checking out these websites that ripped me off. One site is already down. unlock-freedom.cm They say they have a surprise for the other one this weekend. These companies must be making millions ripping people off. Well couple days ago I found another site advertising right here at my post. So now I'm waiting on code-unlock-shop that had a decent price and advertises doing Canadian cells. We will see. Its my last try.
Thank you justmpm for the info and removing my imei numbers. Most of all thanks for the respect.

I want to be clear. I am not accusing you of anything underhand it's just that an IMEI is meant to be attached to one cellphone. People who sell them are outside the law and therefore have no morals which would prevent them from ripping you off. The moderator removed your numbers from your post to protect you. Where do you think IMEI sellers get the numbers they sell as they can't be obtained legally or sold honestly. Sim unlocking is accepted practice IMEI selling is not. Therefore your request to be pointed to an honest seller is not possible. I should have simply pointed out to you that you were asking for the wrong thing, therefore I apologise for giving the wrong impression. Pleased you have so many young experts to guide and assist you and wish you well.

Its legal here in Canada to unlock your phone if you own it. But its expensive to have someone do it for you. SO Ive tried here and rooted both Huawei Ascend and the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2e but most software don't do the Canadian models. So thats when I tried the easy number unlock. Getting ripped off though. Didnt know that was illegal cause they advertise everywhere. Even in my evening newspaper. Im finding this out the hard way. I seen another site that does Canadian phones. Right here at this post. htp://www.code-unlock-shop.cm . Advertising right here but Ripping people off? Been 4 or 5 days now and still haven't heard from them. Another $15. Another scam that has my visa numbers. Damn it. I'd be ahead of the game if I stayed off this site and buy a new unlocked cell phone and hell with playing with cell phones. Well all my kids tech buddies are dropping in this weekend to check on these sites that ripped me off. Ill let them little crazies deal with them. Problem solved I'm buying a new phone that I can't afford.

Finally got numbers from htp://www.code-unlock-shop.cm. Paypal screwup. Happy happy happy Finally. Lot of trouble for my own phone. Damn

Robbed by unlocking service, Supposed

so I've been robbed twice by this service I will no longer use the service I'm trying to get my money back. I've been in contact with these people, he asked me if I got my money back like come on now you would know if you issued me a refund or now they've been playing games with me they told me to install this app some kind of unlocking app and it was a lie it was all a lie but they took my money and now they're refusing to give it back anyone who's experienced this please get back to me I'm interested in trying to see if we can go after them because I'm not the first person they've done this to. no matter where you're from you do business here in America or using American policies you have to buy by the law that's just what it is you're selling a dummy service and that's not right. every time I enter my email to track my order it says server is busy but I know that was a fake set up as well because when I press enter it said the same thing so that's a lie. We need to act as one XDA is an important community and it's members are what makes it thrive. You're not sure about the service don't pump them because you're helping them with the LIE

Just curious, wouldn't contacting your carrier have been a better and a secure choice? I know tmobile unlocked a couple of phones for me after a certain period of time. Also, this website is built so poorly that it screams scam.

I chatted with the guys 1 Minute ago.
That smells like scam x1000 !
Iam using Note 9 Exynos (Europe, Germany,DBT) and we in germany dont have Sim or Netlock anymore.
I asked the Chatguy if they unlock Exynos Note 9 with DBT-"Branding"(Its no branding, it means : FREE) too, and he thold me : "Yes !"....
Totally scam. Realy, you have Netlock in the US ? And do you guys have Simlock too ?
And what if you flash via Odin a brandingfree rom ? Does it unlock the phone ?

Sorry this happened I used CellUnlocker once and they are great. Know it doesnt help your situation but for future reference.

Just curious, wouldn't contacting your carrier have been a better and a secure choice? I know tmobile unlocked a couple of phones for me after a certain period of time. Also, this website is built so poorly that it screams scam.

Don't you think had I been able to use the phone company I would have. Mr know it all comments aren't necessary.

I don't think it's a US company that is providing false unlocking services, they've been in contact with me and some of their messages were in Russian. Maybe to throw me off but I believe it's a shell company of some sorts

You didn't specify your device in your original post. So, I'd assumed that you had a carrier that provides that service like we do here in the US. My apologies if I gave a "Mr know it all" impression, non of that was my intention.
Carriers here in the US do unlock your phone after you've had it for a certain amount of time. My advice to you for next time is to start a thread here asking people to post their best and most trusted unlocking websites that they have actually used before, before going on your own to some random websites that you don't know much about.
We are always here to help, buddy. Sorry about what happened to you and I hope it wasn't a big chunk of money they've scammed you on.

If you unlock your phone and it is not paid off( you dont own it) and you unlock it through a third party. Then you stop paying the bill for the device then your carrier will black list the phone. You wont be able to use it with prepaid services or other carriers. Once you put a different sim in the device even though its unlocked. The phone will start Burning your sim cards so they dont work anymore. Only thing you can do is have an imei "repair" done. Or just change the csc code to a different country and just never use the original carrier which is easier.

I also totally agree with K-alz. This site does not look reputable at all. Take for instance all their claims like "Official service Even Samsung employees use our service to unlock their phones". Or even the fact you can enter anything you want into their text fields for your phone. Hell, at least the IMEI field should only accept numbers. Looks like a total scam...
On a side note, I had some fun with them:
IMEI: YOU GUYS ARE F****** JOKES
Samsung Model: WHO NEED TO
Carrier: STOP RIPPING OFF PEOPLE. YOU ARE BEING REPORTED TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES. BYE BYE
I do hope you can get your money back, but I would definitely not trust these kind of sites in the future.
Edit: I doubt it will go anywhere, but I just called Samsung to let them know of this specific site using Samsung's logos, and making fraudulent claims. Gave the URL, and the guy I talked to stated he would bring it to his supervisor/manager.

I'm sorry you have had your money stolen from you by a fake service, but I do have to add that this is such a painfully obvious scam, the site just screams fake, throwing money at services you're unsure of or that aren't reputable is never a good idea, stick to proper authorised services in the future, hopefully this is a lesson to others considering doing the same thing, good luck with getting your money back

Not good.
