Such as, unlocking the GSM...
Hard to search for this since most "Unlocking" is referring to the bootloader and loading custom ROMs...
thanks.
Hi!
In what country you are? If your country use:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
then everything will be okay.
Only thing you need is Sim-unlocked Atrix. If you get sim-locked Atrix then you can easily unlock by yourself with unlock code what you can buy. I bought that code from ebay a while ago. I paid ~$14.
Good luck!
If you're at&t customer, call at&t customer service and state your reason why you need sim-unlock (going out of country), they'll give you a code for free.
I see. I'm not the AT&T customer. I suppose I shall need to purchase unlock code.

When you do this remember to record some video proof of the process in case something goes wrong, you can ask for a refund.

I think AT&T models don't support 3G 900 either - only 2G 900.

I'm actually using my atrix on T-Mobile right now after I unlocked so far it's working fine. You might however need a data plan for your mms to work. That's what I've been told at least.

I'm using At&t Atrix in Europe (Latvia) since summer. Everything is working great. No problems at all. Good luck!

I think there is a post for this here. But if not google it. All you need is sim card from straighttalk nokia e71. Then you need to enter new apn settings. I am noon and switched mine and my wifes to ATRIX on straighttalk. Thinking of unlocking mine a
nd new rom cause of random reboots and sod. But scared. Wifes doesn't have these probs
After AT&T waved my ETF and I had a $0 balance with them they supplied unlock codes to me for both my Atrix & Captivate, sold them both on Craigslist. Luckily I had a friend at the house with T-Mo so I just popped the sim in and was prompted for the code while I had AT&T customer service on the phone.
I have a similar question, my atrix is ATT and i want to unlock the sim and use it on t-mobile, but I want to use the pre-paid/month to month type of service, will it work the same way?
They have unlimited text/talk/data for like $50/month on the month-to-month type plan, so i wanna jump on that lol
I am going to get the note but when i research on unlocking it i found the modem t unlock that makes it works with tmobile hspa+, but when i go on craigslist to to buy it they sell the note with "imei" unlock....whats the difference?...
IMEI Unlock = SIM/Network Unlock
If your phone is AT&T Network locked, you can use your phone with only AT&T sim cards.
So If phone is Network Unlocked, you can use it with any sim card.
Modem unlock will make your phone able to connect T-Mobile's Mobile Network (it unlocks the frequencies that hardware supports but not software)

There is no better or worse - if you want to use AT&T and have an AT&T SIM, then you don't need either.
If you want to use T-Mobile then you need to IMEI unlock the device so it accepts a T-Mobile SIM, then you need to install the T-Mobile Modem if you want speeds beyond 2G EDGE.
TL;DR: IMEI Unlock lets you use a non AT&T SIM in the device, Modem "Unlock" lets you use T-Mobile's 3G frequencies along with that T-Mobile SIM.
Can anyone point me to a good write up on how to install the Tmobile modem?
I am rooted and IMEI unlocked. Sorry just new to this stuff.

all i had to do (after root and unlock) was flash the "Blaze 4G modem" through Clockwork mod, from AllGamer's thread. that opened up the AWS frequencies.
EDIT: found it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547114
so basically you need both unlocks to use it on t-mobile....imei to use t-mobie sim card and modem unlock to use 3g/4g speeds on t-mobile network....and i heard u still get a weak signal .....dont know if affects your experience as in dropped calls and slow data ect ect...but um @ schuflea http://rootgalaxynote.com it will tell you how to install anything on your galaxy note...good luck ..
if any one is still thinking about getting a gnote.....you should wait...its officially coming out for t-mobile....well thats wuts going around the net....theres even pictures of it with t-mobile branding.....you should wait like a month...its 4/28/12 wait till 5/28/12 lol....see wut happens....
I like the I717 look more than the N-7000 so I would like to know if it would cause me any problems if I orderd one..??
Yall have att over there?

You need to unlock Network lock -if it's locked-, not more than $30.
And you should check which GSM/3G/4G frequencies your GSM operator is using and compare with Note's specifications.
I used without issues my ATT unlocked Note for the last 2 weeks while travelling in Europe. I used a prepaid Italian TIM Mobile SIM card as service provider.
I recently purchased this unit from an online dealer who claimed it would connect into my AT&T LTE network. It does not even with a new AT&T sim card, the best speed is less than a 3G performance.
Any thoughts, ideas, comments help??
It's unlocked? Did you try different radios? This is why I buy carrier phones and use that carrier. All the people that buy phones and unlock always have problems. Every day there's a new thread or two. Lol

I have a n200 5g on metro. I need it network unlocked. I'm not eligible through metro to do it for free yet. any cheap alternatives I can use? I have to do this by Monday so I can use the device on qlink wireless. I've searched around and I can't find much and the few places I have want to charge $70. yes I own the phone and it's a clean IEMI.
I spoke to metro just now. they refuse to unlock it. I've had it for 120 days and they require 180. qlink wireless uses the TMobile network just like metro does. do you guys think the sim would work without unlocking the device? I've heard a TMobile sim card does.

I would say to just wait until you reach 180 days. Only Metro can unlock your phone, not an MVNO or T-Mobile. Putting a different SIM card may reset the unlock timer.

I'm loosing metro service Monday. I have free service through qlink. I need to use the phone. I cannot find an unlocking service for it. I guess I'll have to sell it.
I want sim unlock for my phone N200-5g of metro by T-Mobile n200?
Me too
SIM UNLOCKED (bought in September/2021)
It got sim-unlocked after 180day, by simply pressing "unlock permanently" without using Metro or T-Mobile sim ever. after 180day however the phone is seems out of time (outdated).
