G1 Unlock code: ********

[J092502D]

I have 2 lines withTmo, 1 with a blackberry (2yrs+) and 1 with G1 (brand new line). Can I unlock my G1 with my older contract? Just wondering, could wait 3 months...won't be trouble tille next summer anyway. Thx!

Sorry for the hijack.

Hi! I believe as long as you've been a customer for more than 3 months, you can ask for an unlock code. I did this for mine and I only had the G1 for like 3 days, but the family plan we are on have been with tmobile for over 6 years. Just tell them you are going overseas and would like to use your phone. They email you the unlock code and instructions within 3 days.

100% the codes are unique to each network.

You can unlock it by entering a code in your phone.

There are two ways to get the code
1. T Mobile USA (restrictions)
2. Here is a video showing process and where to get it done - G1 Unlock Video

The process is really simple as you can see in the video

can you simply insert an active SIM into the phone and then pull out the sim? Instant unlock?

No, every time you insert a SIM, the phone's radio first checks if it's an allowed SIM card, then registers on the network of the SIM if it passes the network lock check.

So if i put my wifes sim in my phone (she has no data plan) will it work?

no it wont, I guess you will need an unlock code firs to free your phone from t-mobile. I had similiar issue and after reading messages boards and doing google I found this site that was offering unlock code for $18, made my payment using paypal and code arrived in email with instructions, took main 30 seconds to key in the code and Yahooo!!!!!!! got it unlocked.

hmmmm i wonder if the g1 works with telcel in mexico? maybe i should ask for my code since i already have 3 months with them

Please tell me the ramifications of publicizing the Unlock code for G1.
Because I found it and watch someone use it. So what would happen if I told others what it was?
How would it effect the Android community?
I really don't know if I stumbled upon Gold or got pyrite...
So tell me what is gonna happen? Should I spam it here? in this thread?

Each device has its own unique IMEI which is used to generate the unlock code. Unlock code will only work on the IMEI that it was generated for. Wouldn't mess around with unlock codes unless you have the right code for your phone... in some cases inputting the wrong code multiple times can lock the device from usage completely - in which case, you'll have to reflash the software to fix it.

If you need unlock code means you can get the unlock code here http://www.theunlockarena.com/unlock...phone/rs13wp2/ to your mobile G1...
