It only took like 30 minutes or so it cost me $50/-, but I would recomend getting the SIM (GSM) side of the imagio unlocked first, and the only way to do that is to have your/ imagio activated on the verizon wireless network first and having it on there for at least 2 months, then call verizon wireless globel number which is001-800-922-0204or 001-908-559-4899 if your out side the United States Of America and have them give you the unlock code, or have somebody whos been with verizon for years and has paid there bill on time for the past two month switch there line on to your imagio and then call the vzw globel number and have them give you the unlock code, i wish i had done this before having my imagio flashed to cricket if i want to do it now i' have to get verizon for at least two months before they give me the hnlock code or know some one who has verizon, and then have my imagio flashed to cricket if i want to get it on cricket, , ive already paid 330 for the imagio and another 90 to get it flashed nkw im finding i cant ever use an other sim card unless i have my imagio unlocked, i bust wish i knew this before,
good luck i hope this helps, oh i think once you have paid the full price and own the imagio l without a contract verizon should allow you to have the basic plan for 30 a month with isnt bad... think about it
I have a friend who works at cricket, he tried my imagio but said the esn # was not in the system in my local area? If ur were successfull in getting urs flashed and switched to cricket, please let me know what city u live in or a way for me to get it flashed. This is the only reason i bought the imagio.
BTW mine is already unlocked, currenlty using with ATT.

dayton ohio, how did you unlock your imagio? the cricket people cant help you, you need to go to a cricket non franchise shop who flash phones and have sell other phones besides cricket...
I got mine unlocked from a seller on eBay. cost me $13 bucks. What's a non cricket store? Best Buy? In some cities, Cricket doesn't require you to buy a phone from them in order to get service, u can bring ur own. This the kind of city i'm seraching for. Hopefully they can give me the instructions over the phone and i can activate myself. Get service from that city and after a month get a local number.

Need to upgrade an old metro pcs phone and I was told that most verizon or sprint phones should work. Would like something with a good sized screen for a good deal. Will the HTC One work with Metro?

Hi I also got the Sprint HTC One and was wondering is it possible to get it running on metropcs?
I am looking to get the HTC One and buy it though Ting and use it on Ting but I would like to install stock ANDROID on it I asked a Ting rep and was told - "We need access to Sprint-specific settings in order to complete activation and make sure it runs on the Sprints network through Ting, so you might not be able to activate it and use some features."
So my question is if I bought the HTC one through ting would I be able to install stock android on it and make it a google play edition and have it work fine?
Thanks to anybody that can help me. love the site just rooted my nexus 7 today!:laugh:

What they mean by sprint specific might be certain ## codes which are only available through a sense rom. You should be able to activate it on a sense rom and then flash to a GE ROM. The only GE rom i know of though is still in beta and it doesn't work that great. CM10.1 is working fine though. It's as close to AOSP as you can get while also being stable.
I'm very interested in the S6 Active, but I live in Canada. I am wondering if AT&T sells the phone unlocked if I buy it outright? Actually, would AT&T even sell me the phone if I am not a current customer? If not, does anyone know a way around that?

Yes if you pay full price they'll defiantly sell it to you, pretty sure they'll unlock too since your buying it outright.
I think the Canadian Carriers will get it soon - they Carried the S5 Active. Just wait..

They might get it... but last year, the S5 didn't come out until about October. I'm not sure I'm willing to wait 4 month for the possibility that Canada might get the phone. Hence my questions.
Thanks for the reminder regarding the LTE bands, I'll check to make sure it is compatible
EDIT: Luckily, AT&T and Rogers mostly sure the same LTE bands, so should be fine there
If the phone is paid for in full then AT&T has to grant you an unlock code - you just go to their website and request it. I requested it in the evening and received the code the next morning.
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/
Just make sure you choose that you are not an AT&T customer.
Can confirm the above. Picked mine up from best buy requested unlock code from AT&T and had it next morning. O am using it on T-Mobile.

What about the boot loader?
I'm curious if the unlocked version comes without the AT&T boot loader. I have the Moto X, unlocked through AT&T but still cannot remove the boot loader. Can use the phone anywhere that offers the same GSM frequencies though.

Nope. Bootloader is the same on all S6 Actives. Because it is an AT&T exclusive.

S6 Active in UK on Vodafone
Hi, I too am very interested in getting an S6 Active (replace old S4 Active). I'm in the UK, on Vodafone who use LTE 7, 20 [2.6GHz, 800MHz] for 4G I think, which are all in the S6 specs. So if I got an AT&T S6 Active unlocked, anyone care to advise if it should work fine in the UK on Vodafone?
Thanks very much in advance.
I'm getting told a different story...
I've spoken to best buy and all my local Att shops and they all say they will not sell a galaxy s6 active without adding it to an existing Att account or creating a new one. Then they told me that I couldn't get it unlocked until I've had the plan for anywhere from 2-6 months. I can't get a straight story about the delayed unlocking. I have T-Mobile and would LOVE to purchase the phone outright and unlock it and use it right away on T-Mobile. How did you guys buy the phones without having a plan added? Thanks!
Did you use someone else's account?

How did you get them to sell you one without activating it and adding it to a current ATT account or forcing you to sign up for service with them? I called and they said that even if you purchase it outright, they MUST add it/create a new ATT account before you leave. So lame...

The ATT store will not sell it unless you have an account. When I went into best buy they said no problem. Just ask for an S6 active and tell them you want to but it out right. They don't care. If the salesman says you need to have an active line ask for another one. When I brought mine I got a $100 gift card for buying the phone outright, was not expecting it and it was a nice perk.
For unlocking ATT policy, you can find it on their website, states that if you are not an ATT customer and have a phone that is not activated on ATT and is not black listed that they will unlock it for free. I just filled out the form and the next day i had the unlock code. You can Google the policy for exact wording. They will not unlock it in store.

AT&T store sold it to me outright, no AT&T account. I was able to get unlock code from the website by next day. The store even helped show me how to do it.

That is great, now... can you pleae report how well the S6 active from AT&T works on the T-mobile network? How are the LTE speeds? and the 3g as well.. as I think it misses some of Tmobiles bands. How is the calling quality on T-mobile and reception? Does it have the new band 12 compatible with the new Tmobile band 12? Do you know if it they have root access already? and of course... what about wifi calling? I am assuming this feature does not work with this phone. We appreciate answers to those questions.

The phone is compatible with attached t-mobile bands except 12. Band 12 does not concern me that much since I am an in area that does not have it. Speeds otherwise are the same as tmobile.
There is no WiFi calling option as this is exclusive to t-mobile. I am keeping an old phone tmobile around for when I travel international and use WiFi calling.

Received the unlock code and it worked like a charm, however everything else has been an issue. T-mobile set me up with a sim card and activated it and I can make calls fine, but the data is TERRIBLY slow. As in, I used to get 10mbps easily all around Charlotte (my home city) but now I'm getting MAYBE .88mbps. Also, the top where it says "lte" keeps disappearing and just showing the bars and the data cuts off completely. I'll make a call, and then after I hang up, the symbol comes back for a little while. I've reset the APN settings, done them manually with some info I found online, but it's still an issue. If anyone could help me, that'd be amazing.
Also, not software related, the actual screen has an issue. It's not the worst thing ever, but in direct sunlight there is a box around the screen about .25 inches in from the edge. It's almost like the glue they used to attach the glass to the screen isn't clear, but nearly clear. It shows up best on a white background with direct sunlight and the back-light turned up all the way, but it's visible on everything but black. VERY annoying.
I'm going to keep working with it (have factory reset twice now) for a couple of hours, but if it doesn't get figured out I have to return it. I use the phone for work and I literally cannot be without a stable connection.

I called T-mobile and they had me manually enter 2 different sets of settings to try and get it to work, and the 2nd set was stable but wasn't fast. Then she pushed my device some settings (didn't know they could do that) and I installed them when prompted. That's the settings I'm using now. The connection is stable, but speeds are not like what they were (coming from an S5 so missing band 12 isn't the issue I unless I'm mistaken). Thank you so much for your help.
Here are the screenshots. My old phone used "fast.tmobile.com" but this one uses epc.tmobile.com. Not sure what the difference is. http://imgur.com/a/5pddQ

100% can confirm it's working. Just use the MEID on the box to activate. I activated it with the 1yr free of sprint service. (just pay ~$4/month in taxes)
Device also can be bootloader unlocked, and rooted as well.
Awesome! Just activated mine as well. Ported from a Verizon prepaid. Gave them the MEID number and had no issues whatsoever. They did ask what type of phone it was a few times, I just said a Motorola phone with a Sprint SIM.
Free year service deal ends 6/30!
Wow of course it can be boost mobile is basically sprint prepaid lol

I activated my G6 Play on Tello today. It was originally the Boost model that I activated on Sprint before switching over, so I can confirm it worked activating on both networks.

May I ask when did you bought the Boost G6 Play? I think any phone that can activate on Sprint can also activate on Tello/Ting. But I heard that the newer G6 Play cannot be activated.

I bought it a few months ago, around July/early August. I'm still on the March 1st security patch since I was trying out Treble roms and flashed back to stock to activate on Tello (I don't recommend treble just yet btw).

It's amazing what you can find with Google. https://tello.com/help_center In mere seconds I got an answer rather than waiting hours and hours for a reply.
Will any Sprint device work with Tello?
Any Sprint-ready device that passes all Financial Eligibility checks (free from contract and has no unpaid balance) should be able to be enrolled into Tello. Still, you need to check with your current provider if your device can be enrolled into another network.

Look at your own result. It is about Sprint phone. i.e. an Off Contract phone by Sprint. This is a Boost phone. It is entirely possible that the subsidized Boost phone is barred from joining other Sprint MVNO. There are reports of Boost G6 Play not activating has been around the web for at least a month.
