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.

you could also try ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unlock-Code-AT-T-T-Mobile-Dell-Streak-5-7-Mini-/220789533683
they have good feedback, might be worth it for the 1/3 of the cost
You're still gonna have to pay the 80 dollars or wait for tmobile to give you q code
Hello, im gonna trade my white vivid for a black one, but the guy needs it unlocked. When i bought mine, the guy said it was but i never made sure. I dont have any other sims to check and the trade is about to happen. Is there some sort of menu i can access to see if im unlocked?

Would like to know this too.
On a tangential note, is ATT accepting unlock requests for this phone yet?

I was told by a store rep that ATT will NOT give unlock code until the entire contract finish...... Hope that's not true.

I bought an unlock code on ebay a few months ago for $3.. it worked perfectly and the overseas sim i had worked no problem.
Did anyone ever find or figure this out?
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.

Hi guys. Question, I am about to purchase an "unlocked" New 6. Seller says it is ATT and he will include an unlock code. Doesn't every nexus come unlocked? I thought if I simply factory reset without a sim in it it will just default to an unlocked phone... Any help on this would be appreciated. Reason is I can buy it with the factory stickers and screen cover still on it for $200. I think that's a great deal.
AT&T Nexus 6 is locked. You will need that unlock code.

Once I get that unlock code, will it have any bloat from ATT or be held back by att as far as updates if I stick my tmobile sim card in it?
boot up the first time without your att sim in it, just wifi, then it wont have any att bloat.

How are people getting sim unlocks for this phone through Tmobile? I have one purchased out right and they are requiring 40 days to get the unlock.

Either wait for the 40 days or go on E-Bay and buy an unlock code. It will probably cost $30-$40

TMO uses the unlock app so you can't just buy a code. It won't work.

There are unlocking services online that use the TMobile app. Costs about $60

I ran the T-Mobile unlock tool 10 min after turning my device on for the first time. I pressed request permanently unlock and it successfully completed, rebooted the phone and disabled the app on completion.

I used this T-Mobile app that was pre-loaded on the phone.

anybody know a site or ebay seller who can unlock through the app yet?

Was phone bought from tmo or swappa or the like? I bought a tmo model on swappa and much to my surprise, the app unlocked it right away. not my experience when buying outright from tmo.
anybody find an unlock solution?
At least the TMobile app allows the option to get a 30 day temporary unlock which for people who travel internationally and want to just a prepaid GSM Sim card it's a good option. They don't have to do this, do is a step in the right direction.
search on youtube, there is a service for unlocking them without the app
Thanks.
Yes, these unlocking services have been around years.
They cost money, which isn't really needed unless you wanted to change carrier, and they would want the balance of the phone paid off anyway
Hello, someone can tell me if you insert another carrier sim card the phone ask for network unlock code or just say invalid sim card, or something like that.
Wanna buy a blacklisted G6 I saw on ebay, thank you!

most tmobile and metropcs dont use unlock codes now. android devices use Device Unlock app, similar to sprint official unlock service.
