I am thinking about buying a unlock code to unlock my DCIN2. I purchased this phone from Craigslist and I have been using it on Pageplus. Now I am thinking about switching to PlatinumTel (T-Mobile network) but only if I can get 3G service.
Anybody have tried? please share. Googled quite a bit but haven't get a conclusive answer.
Nope, did it to my old inc2 for a friend and you can only get 2G

So here's the deal my phone is on my dads plan and I absolutely love my dinc2 but u hate Verizon and frankly can't afford it is there a way to unlock this phone to work on virgin boost if tmobile? Do I need to be rooted? Can I have 3g still on another network ? I tried to search and only found issues regarding out of country sim card issues

I read someone had luck using it on AT&T. This was only after using an XTC clip, though.
I think I read it in the group XTC clip but thread

I just called Verizon and ask for the similar unlock code.

from what i've read about verizon's 3G bands, you won't be able to use any verizon phone on 3G networks of other carriers, unlocked or not - only EDGE.
So, this is more complicated thant i tought. I was under the impression that I could prety much unlock my phone to work with any companie.
Called Telus ( I want to sell my T-989, and found a Rogers buyer)
They told me they could unlock it but that it wouldnt work since Telus is on a HSPA network and Rogers is on a GSM...
Any way to get around this by flashing a different modem ??
Or am I stuck to sell it to a compatible network buyer?
I have this phone unlocked and it works fine on Rogers. It just can't do the hspa+ speeds so it would be stuck on 3G.
So basically don't worry, the phone works fine on gsm carrier's.
Also for future reference Telus is using a CDMA network but the T989 supports both CDMA and GSM.

That is great news. Only thing is that Telus want to charge me 35$ for the process.
Are the online websites that offer that kind of service trustable ??
Iv'e seen a website think its like cellphonecanada blabla something like that. 20$ for the unlock.
I got mine unlocked at a local mall for 20 bucks. Perhaps try that?

Hello guys. I'm on a roadtrip trip right now in usa for 3 weeks and bought a sim and plan for 70$ from tmobile worst service ever. They told me I will have 4g from Oregon to vegas on i5 highway... So not true all I was getting was edge and g. I was wondering if att is better if I have note 2 T889V would it get data with att prepaid? Some lady at att said I won't have Internet at all. Not sure if it's true or not. Just wanted to clarify it with you smart guys.

Tmobile does not have the signal coverage that Verizon and att have.
As for you question, as far as I can tell, it may be possible to flash att radio on your model n2: there has been 1 report that someone has succeeded but no confirmation and no how-to. Others tried and either didn't work or bricked their phone.

Not possible without changing radios? To use Att?

Hi,
First off I live in Ireland where we only have 3G networks. No 4G at the moment.
Now my question is, if I buy a 4G capable phone off ebay.com with a "bad esn" can it be used on 3G networks in Ireland?
Basically can a 4G phone work if I pop a 3G sim in there?
Also in order for this to work I would guess the phone would need to be unlocked. As far as I can see there is a few "bad esn unlocked" phones, but is the procdure to unlock a 4G bad esn phone just as easy as a normal 3G phone?
Thanks in advanced.
Christopher.
If you unlock it, you should be able to use a 4G-capable phone on 3G. I can't see why not.

Thank you soo much!
Bad ESN is for CDMA phones. Does your service provider do GSM or CDMA?

why not just buy a gsm phone and not worry about a bad ESN phone or whether or not a 4g phone will work with a 3g sim? used gsm nexus has to be cheap as all get out by now on ebay or swappa or a thousand other sites.
So, some of you may remember that my phone was bought on Swappa and then blocked by T-Mobile. It was blocked for non-payment of EIP, not for being reported stolen. I was able to unlock it, and have since been using it on Straight Talk AT&T, which at first worked well, but lately has been pretty horrible. So i'm looking to switch to another carrier.
My question: does anyone know if a blocked (not blacklisted) T-Mobile version will work on Metro PCS? Or is there another carrier I should be looking at?

T-Mobile owns Metro PCS, so the chances of it working are pretty slim.
Try simple mobile.

Nope gets blocked also
If región unlocked using the app there should be no issue. Especially on the monthly plan no contract
