unlock for t-mobile?

[killerb777]

is it possible to get the at&t mini and unlock it for t-mobile? wasn't sure if it takes awhile for the mini to be unlockable and are the carriers compatible with one another? from what I understand both work off of gsm but will I have issues with t-mobiles 4g/etc...

I just got my at&t one mini unlocked today and can receive/send voice and text without issue using a T-Mobile USA sim card. However, I don't yet have any data connection. I was told it could take up to 24 hours so I'll report back tomorrow.

Hooray for me! Just called T-Mobile tech support and they walked me through manually configuring the APN and now I've got voice, text, and freakin' LTE! I was told this phone wouldn't work with our LTE, but it looks like they were WRONG! HTC One mini on T-Mobile USA FTW!

Nice to hear, this is exactly my plan too. Does 3G / HSPA+ work as well?

I can get edge, umts, hspa+, and LTE! But I'm also in Kansas City where we have a refarmed network. #winning

Did you call AT&T and have it done that way?

I tried to, but AT&T couldn't get it to unlock the first time, so they had to open a case file and some tech guy called me back the next day and got it done. Took all of 30 seconds.

Can the bootloader of the ATT version be unlocked on htcdev?

Can the bootloader of the ATT version be unlocked on htcdev?

I think so. @jmz unlocked it if I remember correctly

My apologies if this question is foolish, but AT&T says they can't unlock my htc one mini for me, even though I paid for it in full, says there is no unlock code for it. Talk to tech support and everything, and they still deny there is a code available.

So I try ebay and other pay for code websites; probably like 8 of them can't find an unlock code. They have even searched the 'not found' databases.

Is it possible to have a phone that is 'unlockable?" or one that has no code for it? Are there any alternative methods to unlock the sim to use on other networks? I've never had such a hard time finding an unlock code for a cell phone.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!

As mentioned earlier, this same thing happened to me. The customer service reps don't know why, but their computers tell them they don't have an unlock code. They have to open a "case" for you and some technical guru will call you back with the unlock code.

Keep in mind (I found this out the hard way), unless you root the phone, you won't be able to use the WiFi hotspot feature on T-mobile.

Well...I've done this, opened a case number, and the response was I was not eligable. Said I have to have active service for 6 months before I can have an unlock code. I manage to buy this outright on a gophone account.

Is it possible to software unlock via cable or some alternate method? It doesn't look like AT&T is willing to help me out. I'm not looking to use on T-mobile, I want to use this out of country.

i bought a code for $25 from cellunlocker.net, turn around was 2 days but it worked fine...

Well I finally managed get an unlock code through AT&T.

Spent and hour last week with tech support, and then a supervisor had to then request the unlock code specially on my behalf to another person higher up. Got a case number and 1 week later this morning got the code. It was a painful process, totally not worth the time. Better to pay for the code.

I had tried cellunlocker.net 2 weeks ago, but I guess the code wasn't available then but is now.

Note to self; don't buy a phone when its totally brand new to unlock, wait a few weeks or months.

Awesome! I am going to try the same!
