So i got this moto z2 force from a guy, it is on t-mobile's network. IMEI is clean, t-mobile checked and said this phone doesn't belong to there network anymore. The guy who sold me said it is unlocked. In past of all the phones i bought, whenever you inserted a non-default network sim card it would ask you for a unlock code. On moto z2 it doesn't ask me any code at all when i insert ATT sim card, i did try to reset network settings but still dind't detect. Would like to know if others have experienced this on unlocked phone.

To unlock the phone you have to use the unlock app.

Are you saying you put an active at&t sim in the phone and it doesn't work? Or are you only saying you put an inactive one to test it ?
Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk
You don't have to put a Sim in or have a code. You use their unlock app which is preinstalled on the phone.

Maybe you can try and call T-Mobile and see if they paid the phone off before selling it to you. If it's legit and paid off maybe they'll be nice and unlock it.

Sounds like it might be a Craigslist type deal and the guy is stuck with the phone as is. Maybe if the IMEI is good he could at least sell it for what he bought it for or close.
I don't think it's as simple as an APN. I feel like most phones have that sorted out automatically these days. A Verizon prepaid Moto E will connect to TMobile automatically without APN settings. Its not like it used to be.
Sounds like he just got screwed. I suggest for Craigslist deals or things like that you test the sim before you buy.

Well eBay is nice about returns. If it says unlocked and it isn't. He can get his money back.

Appreciate everyone's concern. Should have specified more details. I am currently using MetroPCS on it, so yeah I can use the phone , plus the price that I paid for the phone was very good. I am thinking to get it unlocked I will get t mobile prepaid and add $110 , use it for few days and then try to get it unlocked.
Takes more than a few days i think its 90 days but not 100% on that
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Just get a friend with an account to call TMobile to unlock.
But if it's paid off they should unlock regardless...

Your friend would need the phone for a couple of days on his line if the phone was never used. It will not unlock automatically without that.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Contacted t mobile thorough Twitter chart, was very helpful. Got $110 on the account, unfortunately TMobile couldn't unlock it because they said when they try to unlock it says it is not a TMobile phone , basically they told me whoever sold the phone probably didn't purchase from them. I am looking other places to unlock.
Finally got my T-Mobile phone unlocked by unlockunit dot com. costed me $70 and they did it in a few hrs after ordering it. Worth the money for me.

I have noticed a quite a few people wanting to get this phone and configure it for T-Mobile. I for one love the phone it has its quirks but whens it one the T-Mobile LTE its really fast. I have 2 now and sitting right next to each other the AT&T 1 bar, T-Mobile 4-5 Bars in my house. Also I have the E980 model unlocked Via ATT In less than 5 MIN's each time I have need to get it unlocked.

That's not true. Most of us who have responded are on the ogp as I am right now unlocked and on t MOBILE. I have had w unlocked within the last 2 week's. If you bought the phone with service they will unlock it. 18003310500 customer service only. When they ask for your mobile number it's the more options after the prompt.

Called up customer service n the tech said the towers around here haven't been "modernized" for unlocked phones, but the towers are being worked on. No time frame given on when this "modernizing work" will finish. Just that, work is current til next year.
I throw the SIM card into my HTC G2 and H+ is all over the place! I'm using it as my hotspot for now til I get the U-verse activated tomorrow evening. Man, I wanted to ditch AT&T!!

gf reported her phone lost because it was cracked, samsung sent her a new one so now i want her old one.

Yup, T-Mobile blocked it.. There's no legal way around it, maybe your gf calling T-Mobile to unblock it, but they'll probably charge her full price for the one they sent her.. You could try using a different carrier, but it could end up being blocked again.. You could also sell it to someone in another country, blacklist won't go past the US

There are services that will fix this for you. I payed 35$ for my blocked tmobile s4 to be repaired.
I did this with an HTC EVO 3D. It was locked for 2 years so I flashed the phone to a different carrier and it worked. You might have problems with different features but it is posibble to still use the phone. Find a cellular store that will flash it. They normally charge around 50 dollars, give or take.

The unlocked version should work flawlessly on AT&T already.
That it does but due to my wedding in three weeks followed by an expensive honeymoon, I lack the funds to purchase an unlocked one from anywhere other than BestBuy currently.
They say they'll eventually carry unlocked 10s, but really, who knows? They will have the T-Mo version though.

The first time he contacted EE they said it'll take 3 weeks, it didn't happen so he's contacted them another 3 or 4 times and they've not done anything. Now they're saying that Sony haven't released the code...... That doesn't sound right to me.

Wrong, carphone warehouse do sell sim free network unlocked devices but they mainly only deal in network locked devices. The only UK network to supply sim free network unlocked Bootloader unlockable devices for all there handsets whether payg or contract is three UK.
Best place to look for a unlock code is amazon or eBay to be honest, costs a few quid n they send you a email with a code I think is how it works. I do know that some network's are cheaper and easier to unlock than others you could always try places like gumtree see if any local phone shops have advert. Thought the network had to supply a pac code to unlock the device to any network if there's no money owing on it in unpaid bills

Hi All:
After I updated to Android 10, I noticed an icon for Network Unlock in my app drawer, but it went away soon after the apps were "optimized." It still shows up in my apps settings under "all", but I cannot access it.
I have a AT&T branded N975U running BSL7. Anyone have any idea what this app is or how to access it?
Thanks in advance!
On my T-mobile version it is under network settings under more connection settings

Same here. It let me permanently unlock my phone.
Did you have it for longer than 40 days? It says my device is ineligible to be unlocked. I paid it off already but only had it a few weeks.

I've had it since prerelease, but it's financed, so I'm a bit surprised.
Interesting. Maybe it must cares about being in use for 40+ days on postpaid T-mobile account

Maybe. I've had my account for 20 years, so maybe they figure I'm not going to fly the coop.

lol for sim unlocking.. just as the name suggests.. theres reference to it in some init files.. theres also some properties that reference it such as ssu.status and ssu.support.. i think theres only 3 carriers that use it from what I saw with TMB and VZW being two of them

tmo has the option in settings.. it uses the unlock app.. before tmb used to have their own app but newer devices its integrated..
it will let u unlock given your device is eligible.. vzw devices however dont have the option since according to vzw after so many days it will be automatically unlocked so no need to include it in settings like tmb does

im sure theres a time requirement.. most carriers have them.. i would check online for tmb device unlock policies if u want specifics.. every carrier has their unlock policies online.. its the best way to fibd out since most the time ppl on the internet will just tell u wat they believe it is and even reps half the time make stuff up to get you off the phone n dont actually look up the policies.. this is coming from a quality rep for a major carrier lol

Thanks, yeah I checked in their site and it says device must be fully paid off and active for 40 days for it to be eligible for network unlock.
Also they only let you unlock 2 phones in a year or line of service. What I find interesting is someone was able to unlock One plus 7 pro McLaren within a week of buying it.... Such inconsistencies and mysteries we may never know the answer for[emoji3]
Were you a ROM developer in the past? I recall your username from some guide posted on XDA or ROM for older galaxy phone [emoji846]
