I don't know but mine says the same thing, would like to know too.
The SM-G900T is definitely SIM locked. I ended up just buying the unlock code from CellUnlocker.net and amazingly they were able to get the code on launch day. Yeah, it costs money, but they came through with the code.
Also, lucky for me, since I guess I was one of the first to buy a code for the G900T, I got an email from them saying that they were looking for footage of people unlocking their GS5s, and if I could provide a video showing the full unlock process, entering the code, and activation on another network, they'd refund the purchase price. I don't know if they're still offering that, but I took advantage of it and I did indeed get my full purchase price refunded, so in effect I got my code for free. :good:

I just tested as well and it asks for an unlock code if you put in a SIM that is not T-Mobile.

The code is $29.99. It's not cheap, but they work. That said, a SIM unlocked phone is definitely worth more on a place like eBay than one that's SIM locked, so it might be worth it.
I've always used cellunlocker when a carrier wouldnt unlock a phone for me, they've never failed me, and once again they came through earlier today with a perfectly working code. They aren't the cheapest but very reliable.

It's 34.99 I just made a video too because they said I'd get the same deal. Uploading now actually. Made the video more for the views than the money because 35$ ain't bad.

The only 100% accurate way to test a SIM unlock is to use a different SIM card.

Try doing a search...I'm pretty sure you can find quite alot of threads relating to this topic.
My brother's friend that works at AT&T said the same thing. "too new". He even said it about the skyrocket.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
might be too new regardless
Usually the carriers are happy to unlock the phone because they charge you a boat load to do it. If they are denying your money I'm not sure if any third party sites could get one from your IMEI or not either. Let us know if you find anything though. Here's hoping!

What carrier charges for unlock codes?

Just came across another thread stating codes were purchased off cellunlocker.net for around 8 bucks, it's not free, but not much at all and worth it if it works.
All canadian carriers charge for unlocking. Usually $50+
PS: I have yet to find a source to unlock mine. I'm switching to bell this week and taking my note with me I hope.
Sent from my SGH-I717R using XDA
I called at&t tech support 2 weeks ago, and tried again yesterday. Both times they said no unlock codes for Note due to it being "too new."
I'm really in no rush to unlock it, although I wish it was unlocked just for bragging rights.
I'll be more concerned about unlocking it within the next 3-6 months...either to sell it or for when I'm traveling abroad.

Carriers don't charge for unlock codes. They either refuse to give it or they give it freely.
There are other companies that do charge. They are not the carriers.

As has been discussed, pay the $25 to cellunlocker.net. Record yourself on video opening their email and inputting your code. Once the phone is unlocked, send them the video. Get your money back. Free reliable unlock code from a legit source.

Is unlocking the SIM like this irreversible? Just picked up an Optimus G and getting ready to do the SIM unlock. However, still trying to decide if I want to keep this phone and would rather not invalidate the warranty or anything until I'm sure.

Yeah they wouldn't give me one and I wasn't going to press it because the guy I spoke to was perhaps the nicest customer service representative to ever exist.

^ There is an accurate answer.
It's not impossible, but most CSRs are not going to be convinced that it's your phone if you are not the original purchaser, not to mention not an active TMB customer. Nor have much motivation to help you. If you have time to waste, have at it. But slim to none is not inaccurate.
If your time is worth anything, don't spend much time on the attempt. Just buy an unlock code for ~ $25 and move on.

I've used Swiftunlock several times and the last time I used it on my TMO S5 it was 19.99. I couldn't find it for a better price from someone trust worthy. It was not swift, however.
Many people have had TMO unlock their device. You have to call and catch the right person and be very persuasive.

You can always simply call T-Mobile and ask for the unlock code. If they question the reason why, you can state that your going to vacations over sea's or etc.. and want to use the phone with the local service provider.
Usually if your with T-Mobile for a long period of years they will simply give you the unlock code with no questions asked upon request. That's usually what I do when I get a new phone from T-Mobile, call them and ask them for the unlock code. Never had a problem.
I haven't used any 3rd party service , but its good to know if in case someone asks.
