Is there a way to verify my t989 is unlocked?
Yeah, insert a Sim that is not from Tmobile.

Obviously... but on my vibrant it wouldn't stay unlocked. I got the unlock code from tmobile & inserted at&t sim, entered the code, said unlocked. So I'm good?
Thanks for the help & making me feeling like a dumbass. Thought this community was here to help....
I wanted to know if there was a way to look at settings & tell. How would you know if you bought one on ebay that claimed to be unlocked?

The only way is to put your ATT sim in and make a call. Sorry, no setting or menu to tell you.

So here is my gnex. White international. Was running stock perfectly fine last night. No problem. But I woke up this morning and it wouldn't connect to any network. Tried rebooting tried wipes tried choosing networks. Nothing. And so I kindly showed my nexus the way of the root, unlocked boot loader ect. Flashed aokp. Still nothing. Flashed cm9 nothing. So I'm gonna flash a couple kernels. But I wanna know your opinions. Please and thank you

Yes you can. I used to have simple mobile and used a t mobile locked phone.
Cost of a new s3 on the street ? Hmm 16 gb probably around 450-500$ ?

I'm considering a locked t-mo for $535
Do you know what it would take to carrier unlock so I could root?

I think you can find it for cheaper than that if you put more search effort in.
You don't need to gave it GSM unlocked to root.. u can root it either way.

Has anybody been able to get their T-Mobile S3 working on SIMPLE MOBILE's network (3g/4g)? I've rooted my phone, and I can't access it (I can't even delete the T-Mobile APN Setting).
Let me know, I would greatly appreciate the help, and I'm sure other users would benefit from this information also. Thanks.
You need to setup a new apn. Go to simple mobiles web site they have instructions to get you up and running.

questions about S3
hi guys
I am a newbie here and I am loving S3 so far and I would like to get simple mobile service with it.
I have a few questions hope you guys can please help me out:
1. on simple mobile web, they sell S3 but says it's not approval and not support 3G, but I saw someone replied it would work 3g/4g with simple mobile service, can you please let me know so i should get $50/month plan instead of $40/month plan or either way is fine?
2, do I have to get a unlocked S3 in order to work with simple mobile service? or I can just buy it from costco or ebay and just insert a simcard i bought from ebay with simple mobile as well? or it has to be unlocked S3 & special sim card?
hope you guys can help me with these, thank you so much

It will work with 3g or 4g. If u get the 40 dollar plan you will get thr 3g speed. If u get the 40 dollar plan u will get the 4g speed. Everything is listed in black and white on simple site. Any tmobile phone will work with simple mobile without unlocking. Simple Mobile is mvno of Tmobile.

I have a friend that he is selling his Tmobile GS3 but he didn't pay his bill so Tmobile blocked the IMEI so now he can't use it and he wants to sell it to me for 350, I think it is good price compare to what people is selling right now. Is there anyway I can unblock IMEI so I can use it on Tmobile network? Thanks.

If he pays his bill they should unblock it. Other than that the only way you could use it on T-Mobile is by changing the imei which isn't really legal.

Pay the bill and the phone will magically get unlocked.

He switched to pay-to-go as type of service, he doesn't have tmobile any more, he just totally doesn't want to pay the rest of his bill at all. One more question, since I have another GS3 and back up the IMEI on the working GS3, can I restore it on the blocked IMEI GS3? It likes both phone have the same IMEI, will it works that way?
or can anyone show me how to change the IMEI? Thanks.

No one is gonna help you break the law, either unlock it an use it on another network or don't buy it and save and get one that isn't blocked

Yeah I was just giving you an option. Nobody on xda is able to tell you how. It's your own choice to break the law if you choose to do so.

I've been trying to do this forever. I'm trying to use it in Canada, I already know it wont work CDMA but will on GSM/Global. Its S-Offed and I know I will probably need to be on the stock ROM so I got back to stock. I can't pay for the service cause I'm a student and need that 10 bucks. Help please?

So there's definitely no way to do it on my own? I can only do it by paying someone?
I have a stock verizon incredible 2 that I need to sim unlock for use in Thailand. Is it really true that the only way to sim unlock this phone is to pay for an unlock code?

I have never been with Verizon so that choice is out of the question. I guess I need to find the cheapest vendor selling the codes.
Thanks.
Just FYI
As of like a week ago unlocking without the carrier's consent is illegal and you can be sued....... Just saying

Maybe for you Americans by US based carriers.
I didn't buy the phone from Verizon. I don't live in the USA. I don't intend to use the phone on any US carrier. Who will sue me again and what law have I broken?
Also I'm pretty sure the law states that it is for devices purchased after last Saturday. Hopefully there aren't a lot of people buying brand new Dinc2s.
Alright, I guess that's it then. Would anyone be able to direct me to a reputable and cheap unlocking service?
