T-Mobile Users, Please Help Me

Post by platinum_ »

hey guys, i need someone that is a t-mobile user in the us. i bought one of their phones for use in canada, but they sent it locked :@ , and the only way to unlock it is if a customer of theirs, with 90+ days account asks for the unlock code for the phone. if anyone can help me please please reply. thanks.

Who is going to be your service provider then? And will the Canadian service provider allow you to use the t-mobile phone?

i am with Rogers GSM , so all i have to do is get any unlocked gsm phone, stick my rogers sim card in there and boom, all working. but the t-mobile phone is locked, so it will only accept the t-mobile sim card. i need it unlocked so i can use it here in canada on Rogers. -- i hope its clear now :D

yup, they are ok with unlocking it for people that have been with them 90+ days, but nothing for anyone else. please if you know anyone on t-mobile help me out hehe. all they have to do is email the t-mobile simlock department, with my phones serial # [IMEI number) and t-mobile well send the unlock code. i read on several forums that this is the only way to unlock this phone, and t-mobile doesnt check if the phone is on any account, just types the IMEI number in their computer and generates the code.
