Hi. I'm new here and basically dont' know anything... Here's my question. I recently got a T-Mobile Wing from a friend. I am an AT&T customer. I had the Wing unlocked, but would also like to use my medianet functions from AT&T on this device. Is there a way to flash the phone or whatever so that it is recognized by the AT&T network? Basically, I want the network to recognize the T-Mobile device as an AT&T device.
Any help would be appreciated. I see you all know your stuff.
Thanks!
Try the Atlas forum as that is the T-Mobile Wing.
Thanks. I'll try the Herald forums. Sorry.
Some SIM adapter can hack the carrier information and make the phone believe that it is on another different network. Has anyone tried so far?
Can anyone confirm this?
I did look on amazon and found two (adapters) you place under the sim card.
I do not know if these two products really work, and you have to cut your sim in order for to fit. I would love to use my photon on tmobile.
Just search "isim" or "smartsim" on amazon. Those are the only two I found.
I just bought one from dealextreme for $3.48 with free shipping. Now I have my fingers crossed. Hope it will work.
If I am not mistaken this will SIM unlock your phone but not bypass the US GSM radio lock on the phone. To unlock the US GSM radio bands someone would have to rewrite the radio's like they did on the HTC TP2.
since the source code has been released, would it be possible now to rewrite the frequencies for domestic use?
I am still curious about the sim unlock if it will work.
For unblocked us gsm may need the atrix radio rom

It's not a sim lock issue.
Some users have been digging into the phone via Radiocomm have actually discovered what appears to be carrier suppression code. Seeing how that it's a Radio issue vs a Android issue.... I'm not convinced this one will be cracked easily as I do not believe carriers or manufacturers are compelled to release Radio code
Just received it. The SIM unlock adapter didn't work for AT&T at least... Sad...

Can I use the GSM outside US?
I mean is it locked to other GSM carriers except att and tmo?
It's not locked at all. Only us gsm towers are blocked. Eg: you could use an att sim just fine if you were roaming in Canada.

The phone is unlocked for roaming outside the us and works fine. i just returned from jamaica friday where my photon worked fine on their claro network. for internet you may need to manually set the settings but the phone worked great.
So my brother owns a Moto-Photon, and he doesn't like Sprint as a carrier, he wants to go to either Verizon or Tmobile instead. Is it possible to switch carriers? I own a spare SIM card from T-Mobile, and when I put it in his phone, it worked just fine with it, so maybe there is some compatibility? I really need some help with this. I already rooted the phone itself, and I will be doing a bootloader unlock so he can get CM9 for it.
So can I switch the carrier, like some form of Super CID or something? I know it is possible on my Tmobile Sensation, so is it possible here? Let me know, thanks.
Check this out. Works for t- mobile or att. Don't know about Verizon

(HOW-TO) UPDATED 6-21-2012 Unlock GSM for domestic carriers on Photon
Sent from my MoPhoKing CMX Photon!
Hi,
I am looking to purchase a G5 to use on Verizon network and it seems the options that will work properly on VZW are the unlocked RS988, the VZW model, and the US Cellular US992. I'm seeing several versions of the US cellular for good price on ebay but they appear locked to that network. can anyone help me know if performing sim unlock will be possible on that model so i can consider for purchase? VZW model and unlock model harder to come by and more $$.
Thanks for any help in right direction!
Anyone know what the deal is? I just started looking at these. I’m an AT&T user. It looks like ATT only has 128mb versions .... is this true? Can I get an “unlocked” 512mb S7+ device that I can use on ATT?
Let me ask another way .... have any of you that have cellular (not WiFi ) devices been able to use another carrier ? Are they locked to a particular carrier??

I haven't been able to find an unlocked US version, and my T-Mobile version is locked. I bought it directly from Samsung, though, so I should be able to request an unlock code from T-Mobile.
