Can a captivate be unlocked and used with t-mobile?

Can you unlock a captivate and use it with t-mobile? If so how do you unlock it?

yes it can. if it is an att gsm phone.

Captivate carrier unlock possible?
I don't think the at&t samsung galaxy S captivate can be carrier unlocked at this time. Let me know how, if it can be.
Thanks

My cousin bought one last week, but he's traveling outside the states for some time, and asked AT&T for a an unlock, but they said this is a new device, there will be no unlock for about 10 months, plus there is no online service at the moment that unlock the captivate, so he ended up returning the phone, and got T-mobile Vibrant instead... they give you the unlock after a month or so, and you can also unlock it online

all devices can be carrier unlocked. call att again and get a different rep.

Hey if you give me your O'Neil number I can get the unlock code from art for out I have some people on the inside

Keep in mind however that if you use the Captivate on T-Mobile, you won't be able to get tmobile 3g. Only 2g Edge.

Absolutely true, could you trade the captivate for a vibrant somehow? they are basically the same phone.

[Q] Sprint Phones on Verizion

Hey! Anyone know if I can use a Sprint Phone on Verizion? It looks like the new Sprint HTC Arrive will be a better phone then the Verizon HTC Throphy.
Is there a way to make the Sprint Arrive work on Verizon?

I know there is a way to get a Verizon phone to work on Sprint so I am sure that you to the other way around....

Ok, so how would you put a verizon phone on Sprint? They are both CDMA so I guess in thorey it should work both ways.

[Q] HTC Titan and Samsung Focus S

I have done that MS Smoked challenge. Do i have to activate the phone then unlock to use on Tmobile? Or can i just unlock and start using?

unlock codes (at least for the Titan) are not available from ATT. But I dont think you'll get anything other than Edge on that with T-Mo. If you are out of contract I'd suggest porting your number to Straight Talk and get an ATT compatible SIM.

I do not plan on using it with AT&T. I plan to use it with Tmobile. and thanks for letting me know about the unlock code. Do third party sites have the codes?

You got 2 phones?
Nice phones btw..
Too bad with tmobile you'll only get 2g. I have a titan and i love it on ATT.
Which phone did you lose the challenge with btw?

yeah i did one and my friend did one i traded in an BB8900 and BB8300

Is it possible to flash from Boost to anything else? Sprint maybe?

Hi, My friend Joined Boost Mobile and they gave him an HTC One. He is not happy with Boost and is going to change carriers. He wants to know if he can flash his phone for another carrier like Sprint or Verizon or ATT or T-mobile or is he better off selling the phone on Ebay and getting a phone through his new carrier? Does this Boost phone even have a sim?? He says it doesn't.
Thanks for any input you can give.

HTC ONE?
unsatisfied?
boost is a CDMA carrier so no, it would not have a SIM
tell him I'll purchase it from him if he's serious about selling it.
flashing it to another carrier he would be limited to only CDMA carriers like Sprint or Verizon
AT&T is out of the question
and most likely whoever(if successful) he flashed the device to..... something would be broken
i.e. he might be able to get calls and text but would not be able to surf web without Wi-Fi or get mms.
unless he's a super developer/hacker it would be in his best interest to sell the device and buy another from a more satisfying carrier....(Verizon) is best in my opinion.......
let me know if he's up to selling to me, I'm not a cheapskate, but I'm not a moron either so keep the price fair..
#EDIT# are you sure it's not a HTC OneSV?

There is a guy who flashed a sprint Samsung S4 over to boost so he wouldn't be stuck on a contract lol. He was successful doing it. The guy posted a video on it over on YouTube. Pretty legit I thought .

At&t moving to TMobile

Good afternoon all. I am thinking of switching my phone from AT&T over to TMobile. When I do this, will I then be able to install custom roms on the phone? Thanks in advance for your help.

If it is the AT&T model, then no. Only the carrier will change but the bootloader will still be locked and be unable to be unlocked at the present time. Sorry!

Thanks so much for answering this. I was about to switch over. Now I know it wouldn't do me any good.

Only good that would come of it is Tmo would pay your AT&T phone off and you can get a tmo v10 and unlock it. Tmo has binge on for youtube I use a lot . But if traveling AT&T has far superior coverage period .

I think I'll hold off on switching for awhile. I ended up getting the Note 7 on Tmo for business, so I'll definitely take advantage of Binge On. Thanks for the info.

I actually switched from ATT to T-Mobile last year. My best friend is a VP at T-Mobile. I have to say the phone was bootloader un-locked 10 minutes after leaving the store. Literally just a debug option. I live in North Texas, and where T-Mobile works they can't be beat. I was getting crazy speeds, 50+mbps. But there were lots of spots where it did not work. To the point I couldn't place or receive a call. Places that ATT and Verizon work. I also told them at the time of switching to them I needed two Cell Spots. I knew their service would not work at my home or at our lake home. They agreed, and for the next 5-6 months I played this game where they would only allow one to be activated at a time. So after about six months of it I bought out my contracts and came back to ATT. Yes I have a T-Mobile V10 unlocked, rooted, custom rom working on ATT. I get decent speeds but not what I get on the ATT Variant of the phone. I wish t-mobile was more complete on their coverage, while they may have coverage in more cities I don't think it's as complete coverage as ATT or Verizon. I also did not find that their plan was all that much cheaper than the ATT plan. Sorry for the long rant, just my two cents.

Is it possible to flash H960 international version .kdz file on H900 at&t version? If anyone does it, what are the issues caused? I was planning to do the same but I am new to LG.
Let me know if its possible and what are it's implications.
