Is there a reliable sim unlock service I can pay for to unlock a TMobile US variant of the phone? Cost is not a concern.

Really? How much did you pay? That site is skeptical... It said $98 for the moto g7 unlock code. Better off buying one from Google Unlocked for 150 bucks

Not true. They can't stop you from unlocking it, but they don't have to do it for you. They just started unlocking iPhones after all.

Not quite accurate. A few years back AT&T was sued in a class action lawsuit regarding their phones being sim locked. To settle the class action they agreed to unlock phones for active customers who have been with AT&T for nine months free of charge. This agreement covered all devices except the iPhone. Finally, recently due to political pressure they agreed to unlock out of contract iPhones also. But in all cases you must have a current account with AT&T for them to provide you with a free unlock. If you are no longer a current customer or the phone is linked to an account in arrears then your only option is a paid unlocking service.
There are no laws in the US saying carriers have to unlock their phones.
1.Call AT&T (800) 331-0500
2.Talk to a customer rep
3.Tell them you don't have and AT&T account and you're with a prepaid service (Airvoice worked for me!)
4.Ask to unlock your SIM card
5.If they say no get a new rep
6.Give the IMEI/ESN
7.get your unlock code!
When they check your IMEI it will show if you have a contract or not.

Better yet, you can go to this site: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
And request the unlock code.

Well obviously if you don't have an account with AT&T they will give you an unlock code.

Beware, this code can lead to infinite loop!
AT&T will unlock any phone as long as it is their phone. Regardless of your status with them, if you have a contract with them or not.
I have been told by multiple reps at multiple AT&T stores that as long as it is one of their phones you can take it to any AT&T store and they will unlock it, however I don't know if they charge!
As long as there is no contract signed for the device, the device has been available on AT&T for at least 90 days, and the unlock code is easily obtained from the manufacturer, they'll unlock it.
Store reps don't unlock phones. You request through Care or the website.

Okay I just got an unlock code from AT&T. Is there a way to enter the unlock code without using another SIM card?

Possibly there is but nothing the general public would know. Sim cards are programed when made. Id save the hassle and ask a friend that has tmobile or if they got any old unsed sims.

Some sims won't work if theyre new (never been activated) but in my experience Tmobile sims (never activated) will work and so will previously activated sims that are no longer activate in service. Give it a try.

I would call the carrier first and request the unlock code explaining the situation. If they won't give it to you, get it carrier unlocked.
Tmobile should give it to you though as their TOS claims they will if it is paid off and not in contract.

Can someone please tell me if it is possible to use a prepaid Sim with a TMob Edge? If so would it have to be a Tmob brand Sim card? If this is not possible stock would it be possible through root access and possibly a rom change? I'd ultimately like to be able to use an AT&T prepaid sim. Thank you in advance for any info. I'm in a time crunch for this info so i really appreciate it.
P.S.- is this phone carrier unlocked out of the box?

The phone is not carrier unlocked out of the box. You will have to sim unlock through T-Mobile or another source if T-Mobile will not unlock it for you. It should work with an AT&T prepaid sim after you sim unlock.

Tmo will unlock it only if there is no balance on your phone. They will ask you why you want to unlock then give you the pin to unlock.

I just received my unlock code for my Note 4. They will actually send you the unlock code after 40 days of purchase. I am on jump and still paying for my device and now it's unlocked.!! Just call t-mobile after you have had your device for 40 days and request the code.

Do i need t mobile to unlock it even if it is rooted, what If i were to just flash say a stock at&t rom to the phone, could i then use am att prepay sim?
Thanks for the answrs!
Yes you need T-Mobile to unlock it. If not it doesnt matter if you have it rooted or not. You wont be able to use other sim cards or carrier's if you dont have it unlocked by T-Mobile.

So i just called and requested an international and carrier unlock. I was told that there was two ways to unlock it, first way being just a carrier unlock and second way being both international and carrier unlock which is what i requested. Then they asked for my imei and my email address and said that i would recieve the code and instructions via email within 24 hours. Is this the same process that you went through bryanthomas007? After completing this process is it possible to use a prepaid service?
Is there a way to unlock a Samsung phone locked to a carrier without contacting the carrier for its unlock code?
