I was hoping T-mobile was getting the Titan since it has the Radar on its to-do list. But I'm hearing now that it will be AT&T. Is there a way to SIM unlock the phone for T-mobile use through some sort of software hack? Or will I have to patron one of the cell-unlock websites for the unlock code? Yeah I really don't know much about the dev scene on wp7...

Hi, just a quick question because I have been a CDMA user for a long time now and don't have any experience with GSM phones. Is it possible to use a T-Mobile prepaid SIM card in an unlocked HD2 and not have to carry a contract. And if so, what all needs to be unlocked, the phone and SIM or is it an all in one deal?
Thanks,
An unlocked phone could work with any sim carrier ever.
For unlocking, u could buy the unlock code from any unlocking service on the net
Thank you for the response.
Some SIM adapter can hack the carrier information and make the phone believe that it is on another different network. Has anyone tried so far?
Can anyone confirm this?
I did look on amazon and found two (adapters) you place under the sim card.
I do not know if these two products really work, and you have to cut your sim in order for to fit. I would love to use my photon on tmobile.
Just search "isim" or "smartsim" on amazon. Those are the only two I found.
I just bought one from dealextreme for $3.48 with free shipping. Now I have my fingers crossed. Hope it will work.
If I am not mistaken this will SIM unlock your phone but not bypass the US GSM radio lock on the phone. To unlock the US GSM radio bands someone would have to rewrite the radio's like they did on the HTC TP2.
since the source code has been released, would it be possible now to rewrite the frequencies for domestic use?
I am still curious about the sim unlock if it will work.
For unblocked us gsm may need the atrix radio rom

It's not a sim lock issue.
Some users have been digging into the phone via Radiocomm have actually discovered what appears to be carrier suppression code. Seeing how that it's a Radio issue vs a Android issue.... I'm not convinced this one will be cracked easily as I do not believe carriers or manufacturers are compelled to release Radio code
Just received it. The SIM unlock adapter didn't work for AT&T at least... Sad...

Can I use the GSM outside US?
I mean is it locked to other GSM carriers except att and tmo?
It's not locked at all. Only us gsm towers are blocked. Eg: you could use an att sim just fine if you were roaming in Canada.

The phone is unlocked for roaming outside the us and works fine. i just returned from jamaica friday where my photon worked fine on their claro network. for internet you may need to manually set the settings but the phone worked great.
Hello guys. Currently I'm planning to get verizon contracted razr phone on amazon. But unfortunately I'm living outside of US and can't use Verizon SIM card.
As I understood there are no possiblilities to "compeletely unlock" bootloader. But, what about those safestrap\bootstrap things? Can it help to unlock SIM?
Or it's just about changing ROMs?
Is there are any possibilities to unlock a phone for use with any other operators?
Why not get an unlocked GSM Razr.
The Verizon Razr is CDMA and locked to Verizon and has nothing to do with the boot loader.
A SIM Lock and a locked bootloader are two ENTIRELY different things. None of our discussion pertains to SIM locking, which is something the carrier does to protect their subsidy, and can be unlocked by requesting the code from the carrier, usually with an associated fee.
However, unless the LTE Razr turns out to have international gsm radios like the Rezound, unlocking the Verizon model won't get you anywhere. I don't know of any compatible CDMA/LTE networks anywhere else in the world at this time. You need to buy the international GSM version of the RAZR, AFAIK there are no real differences other than the network type it uses.
Has anyone used a payed service to SIM unlock there AT&T M8, and if so, which one? I want to get my phone unlocked in case I decide to switch carriers but have had no luck getting it unlocked yet.

So I'm about to buy an LG V10 on prepaid (fully paid off), but can't decide which variant. I know the T-Mobile one it's the cheapest and also the only one that has the possibility to unlock the bootloader for now, and that's a major plus, but it comes network locked and with that annoying "unlocking app" that T-Mobile has. I need it to be network unlocked, so this is a big downside to me. I now T-Mobile can unlock it for me. I was reading that you need to refill $100 and have the line active for around 10 days it order to unlock, but I can't do this because I don't live in the US, so yeah.
Then I considered the Verizon LG V10 that comes network unlocked by default (I think), but has less possibilities of getting root.
Also I don't know much about AT&T, but I'm 99% sure it can be network unlocked with an unlocking code.
Do you think Verizon or AT&T variants are going to achieve root? I'm hearing advices.
Based on other verizon phones with their locked bootloaders.....I'm pretty sure their v10 will never get root.
Ever.
