An Unlocking question (not the annoying typical one)

[PCTechNerd]

Hello All. I'm getting my 620 from t-mobile in like 2 days, and I had a quick question.

I know you can get it SIM/CID unlocked from that imei site that costs $40.
I know I can get the phone unlocked from T-mobile by calling them (been with them for 3 years)

Here's my question: Is the type of unlocking that I can get done from T-mobile only the SIM unlock, or does it do the CID unlock too?

If it's only the SIM unlock, does that imei unlock site have a discounted price for only CID unlocking (i searched around everywhere on the site and couldn't find anything on it)? If not, does anyone know any other site where i can get the phone CID unlocked for cheaper than $40.

Thanks in advance

Drew

T-Mobile only provides a SIM unlock as far as I am aware. You will need to use imeicheck.co.uk to CID unlock. I have used them twice before, and it works well. However, I am with you - $40 is steep, and my Dash works with T-Mobile's own rom, so I am reluctant to spend the cash. I will be asking them if they would provide a cheaper service, and I am sure they would get loads more business, if thwy would. Let us know if you do ask also....

I sent them a email asking them if they provided a cheaper service since my Dash will only need the CID unlock.

They replied back saying it's all from one program so they could not provide it cheaper.

looks like I got the shaft from them, rofl.

we believe that if you put on the old bootloader you don't need to cid unlock. Try that.

if you are using a "dash" you will need to CID unlock and flash an old bootloader before you are able to flash another rom
