Has anyone used a payed service to SIM unlock there AT&T M8, and if so, which one? I want to get my phone unlocked in case I decide to switch carriers but have had no luck getting it unlocked yet.

Hi, just a quick question because I have been a CDMA user for a long time now and don't have any experience with GSM phones. Is it possible to use a T-Mobile prepaid SIM card in an unlocked HD2 and not have to carry a contract. And if so, what all needs to be unlocked, the phone and SIM or is it an all in one deal?
Thanks,
An unlocked phone could work with any sim carrier ever.
For unlocking, u could buy the unlock code from any unlocking service on the net
Thank you for the response.
Hello guys. Currently I'm planning to get verizon contracted razr phone on amazon. But unfortunately I'm living outside of US and can't use Verizon SIM card.
As I understood there are no possiblilities to "compeletely unlock" bootloader. But, what about those safestrap\bootstrap things? Can it help to unlock SIM?
Or it's just about changing ROMs?
Is there are any possibilities to unlock a phone for use with any other operators?
Why not get an unlocked GSM Razr.
The Verizon Razr is CDMA and locked to Verizon and has nothing to do with the boot loader.
A SIM Lock and a locked bootloader are two ENTIRELY different things. None of our discussion pertains to SIM locking, which is something the carrier does to protect their subsidy, and can be unlocked by requesting the code from the carrier, usually with an associated fee.
However, unless the LTE Razr turns out to have international gsm radios like the Rezound, unlocking the Verizon model won't get you anywhere. I don't know of any compatible CDMA/LTE networks anywhere else in the world at this time. You need to buy the international GSM version of the RAZR, AFAIK there are no real differences other than the network type it uses.

So I'm about to buy an LG V10 on prepaid (fully paid off), but can't decide which variant. I know the T-Mobile one it's the cheapest and also the only one that has the possibility to unlock the bootloader for now, and that's a major plus, but it comes network locked and with that annoying "unlocking app" that T-Mobile has. I need it to be network unlocked, so this is a big downside to me. I now T-Mobile can unlock it for me. I was reading that you need to refill $100 and have the line active for around 10 days it order to unlock, but I can't do this because I don't live in the US, so yeah.
Then I considered the Verizon LG V10 that comes network unlocked by default (I think), but has less possibilities of getting root.
Also I don't know much about AT&T, but I'm 99% sure it can be network unlocked with an unlocking code.
Do you think Verizon or AT&T variants are going to achieve root? I'm hearing advices.
Based on other verizon phones with their locked bootloaders.....I'm pretty sure their v10 will never get root.
Ever.
Can anyone help me unlock my sim to any carrier? I bought a phone and of course, it wasn't paid off. I'm trying to switch it to cricket and I need it unlocked. Sprint is no help.
Will it be possible to root an AT&t variant? The OEM unlocking is grayed out so that it cannot be switched, but I've seen instances in the past such as the Verizon model I had a few years ago but still possible to achieve root.
You need to have the service provider SIM card unlock the phone first. If you are on an installment/monthly payment plan it can be harder to convince the provider to unlock the phone, but it is possible. Once the phone is SIM card unlocked, the OEM Unlocking option will be available in settings.
Of course this is on a non-Verizon version. Usually the Verizon versions will have the OEM Unlocking option greyed out even if the phone is SIM card unlocked. (But there have been models that Verizon didn't OEM lock, so we really won't know for sure until we hear from some Verizon customers).

call their customer support, ask if the bootloader can be unlock once you paid off the phone, if thats the case I think you can root.
