Unlocking photon - Motorola Photon 4G

Is there a free way to unlock the photon for gsm use? I just called sprint to have it done and they told me they don't unlock phones (lie) I know that's how you used to unlock phones. Anyway is there away with out paying some guy on eBay?

Unlocking question

I wanted to unlock and use my phone in asia gsm so I called t-mobile and got the unlock code. The only gsm sim card I can get right now to unlock worth is att.
If I use att sim and unlock right now does that mean it already unlock to all gsm carriers or just att ?

If at&t sim is working. You should be able to use it with other carriers. Meaning your phone is now unlocked.

Just keep in mind that no matter how you unlock it, that T-Mobile can only use Edge speeds. Actually that's gonna be more of the buyers issue but more if a FYI if the buyer asks you about that later...

Is unlocking the GSM radio for AT&T illegal?

I was talking with my friend the other day he is an AT&T regional manager and he said that unlocking my photons gem radio and buying service with AT&T was a federal crime. I do not believe it is but can someone give me some better info on if it is or is not?

Lots of people unlock their radio for AT&T, no one is in jail yet.
I think he just wants me to buy an ATT phone

either he is woefully ignorant or he is lying to you. If he is lying to you, than he is not your friend.
Well he it was illegal because of ESN writing but unlocking the GSM radio does not write an ESN correct?

1. unlocking GSM radio is not ESN writing
2. ESN cloning of another phone you own and have not activated is not illegal (i.e. you are not using 2 phones with the same ESN on a network)
3. ESN cloning of a phone you do not own for the intent of stealing signal is illegal.
Hmmm do GSM networks even use ESN's?

T-Mobile HTC One Unlcok

If I have a HTC one unlocked and rooted with s-off can I change my carrier without buying a unlock code.

I'm not sure I'm understanding your question. If you mean unlocked meaning the boatloader then not necessarily. If you bought it, or it was originally purchased, from a carrier you will most likely need a sim unlock code but if it's not carrier branded then you should be okay.
