Carrier unlock for the tbolt? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I may go to mexico and I want to get rid of my tbolt, and in Mexico there's a cdma carrier called iusacell.. do I need to unlock the phone (as any gsm phone) so people can activate it in Mexico?
Will they need the sim card?

If you are in good standing with AT&T you can request an unlock code from them.

Like the previous poster said, you can unlock directly through ATT if you are their customer.
If not, search for Atrix unlock code on ebay. Those should work too but cost money.

Net 10

Yes you can use it on other carriers. Phone comes SIM unlocked, early versions did not allow you to add APNs without rooting, that may have been fixed in 4.1.2 update, not sure. Anyway you can find a ton more info here including what people did to get going on AT&T, Tmobile, and various non-US carriers:

[Q] how do cell phone unlock services work?

I see so many unlocking services on eBay and can't help but wonder, how do these people even unlock the phones? Is there some sort of program that they have or something?
Depends on OS and whether GSM or CDMA

[Q] Help!

I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what carrier will work my Note 3. I bought it for brand new for $300 form someone on cl. I've researched a lot but since I'm not on sprint i cant get it internationally unlocked to use it with gsm networks. So can I flash to use cricket or metro pcs without a sim card? And How would anybody do it themselves?

But I cant do this without first having an account with either of them right?
Cause as of right now, I dont have any carrier, would I have to open up an number?
Correct, you would need to set up service...can't just piggy-back on a network with a deactivated device.

Would i be able to buy a metro sim card pop it into my device after its been activated and then flash it?
Pop over to the forum I referred you to earlier, they'll be able to give you better feedback.

You can get the code from ATT, ebay or do it yourself (which is what I did) ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124544
There is a way to unlock it without a code. I have a Rogers i717 on T-Mobile network. Search the threads. I think the instructions are still there. Barring that, try Google. If I find it I'll post a link.
