T-Mobile wing - does it have simlock or not

[lukaszO]

Hi I'm new user of T-Mobile Wing. I found a thread on this forum that most of T-mobile wing don't have simlock. I get my sim card from era (polish carrier) and put inside wing. Then turned on and everything is working. It has found a service. But I still have some doubts. One is that the service name is T-mobile ( which is normal in my nokia using era because of roaming policy of my carrier) but I'm not sure if I leave USA the phone will work or not. I'm not sure how sim lock work here in USA. Should the phone report problem with other sim card when I turn it on? Or maybe it will stop working when I will come back to Poland.

From the other side when I put T-mobile sim card into my old nokia which is locked, the phone reported error "device is secured, please provide code" ( <- this is free translation from my polish)

I assume the same sittuation should appear in case of wing with era sim card, but it is my first pda and I don't know if in this case my assumptions are correct.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

So why right now when I put sim card from different carrier I'm able to use the phone and make calls??

yep. I've got wing registered in era without any unlocking.

huh. thats really strange. it may be some weird kind of roaming. update when you receive your phone bill? If it's kind of ridiculous, you know you need to sim unlock.
I believe that if you get a tmobile sim(prepaid or borrow one?) you can ask them to give you the simlock code and they will
