I am looking to unlock my t989 but don't want to pay for it since its not absolutely necessary but I was wondering if there was a tool or way you can do it for free on your own

This is a very common question. In fact there was a thread last week about this very thing. Search my friend.

Search is your friend
Just call T-Mobile and tell them you want to unlock it. They'll tell you about international offers but just tell them you need to unlock because you're sending it to another country if they ask why. That's what I did to unlock my other T-Mobile phones.
Anyways its free and they'll send you an email you'll provide with the unlock code

Why not just have someone you know on tmobile to get the unlock code for you, or just go on a website and pay $10-25

Unless I'm mistaken, the OP is asking where to buy the phone and how much will it cost. An unlock code, whether paid for or through a friend, does nothing without a phone.
To the OP, it really depends on the market in your area. You can search on Craigslist, or EBay. 200-250(used) and 400-500(new) are probably the price ranges you will see.
If you buy from Craigslist, have the seller meet you at a local Tmo store, so you can easily verify if the phone is blacklisted (in case you might ever want to use it on Tmo, prepaid or otherwise).

Buy an unlock code from a website like he said above, also make sure you are on the stock ROM when you enter the unlock code using a foreign (different carrier) SIM otherwise it won't work..

Just call tmobile and tell them you would like to have the unlock code for your phone. As long as your bill is up to date they will email it to you in about 24 hours, then make sure when you go to unlock it that you have the STOCK ROM installed and a SIM from another carrier. Put the other carrier SIM in the phone after you get the code, turn phone on, enter code and bingo. You will be unlocked.

Yes its free.
If you are a 3 month(90 Days) old customer, then call them and they will unlock it for free.
this applies for all phones except IPHONE

not entirely true. i was a 14 day customer when AT&T gave me my unlock code.
but then i've read stories of people being AT&T customers for years, and they were refused an unlock code for their S3.
just try your luck. if you don't want to call, there's always online chat too. this is what i did.
The problem is i am a tmobile customer.

how did you get the phone in the first place?
did you buy it from someone? if you bought it from someone, the previous owner would had to have unlocked it (i think).
did you win it? AT&T should be able to unlock it if you can prove you won it through a contest.
otherwise, you'd have to pay through a third party company to unlock it. google for websites that will unlock it for you.
Tell them you're going out of the country temporarily and that you want to use a sim card there. Maybe they'll do it.

Hey does anyone know of a good method to unlock the Galaxy s3. My wife is abroad and I need to get her phone unlocked so she can use a sim card, according to Tmobile they can longer do it because of a federal law. Any help Thanks

Hey guys so I found a GS4 a while ago and I unlocked it but when I turn it on I can't connect to T-Mobile network but it does connect to AT&T. So long story short I took it to the cellphone shot where I unlocked it and he told me that in order to make it work for T-Mobile he had to clone the GSM. Does anyone here ever heard of that and is it even possible

its because its blacklisted on tmobile, because it was reported as lost. I know what they want to do to get it to work, and it is illegal and can not be discussed on XDA.
Thanks I just wanted to know what that means. I never heard of it and I wanted to know what in the heck was that .

I think it means " return to its rightful owner! "
I'm just sayin!

Don't be a ****. When you found the phone, you took it away from someone who has lost it. Return the phone to its rightful owner. Go through the contacts and find a contact for 'Mom' or something of the sort to get closer to finding the owner.
Don't worry guys I just gonna go to T-Mobile and turn it in I can't even use it anyway and I am due for a upgrade by November. I still don't know what in heck is that

What it is, is that they clone the IMEI of a good phone and use it on that one. This is highly illegal. As for deleting it. I will close it.
