Default Netlock: True

Hi,

the MDA Pro from T-Mobile is not SIMlocked but Netlocked. If you buy the MDA Pro without a card contract you will get the unlock code for free. If you bought it with a contract and got the device for less than 749€ , then you have to pay for the unlockcode (99€).

Cheers

This ONLY is valid for German devices, purchased by German residents in German shops. T-Mobile in the Netherlands stated that they will NOT offer the same service, and T-Mobile Germany stated they will NOT offer this services to foreign machines.

Default msmobiles

...

seems that ....


T-Mobile MDA Pro is indeed SIM locked (at least these models now on sale) but under phone number 01805330160 one can get unlock code after providing IMEI number of this phone - if the phone was purchased without subscription

..

I'm expecting an MDA Pro bought without contract and hope that this is true.

Default Ups...

Sorry, I didn't know that. I thought that the TM procedures regarding this are the same in every country.

Cheers
