    Default WorldClass + rooted G1


    About to head to Europe soon, and I was just wondering if anyone has the WorldClass service from Tmobile with a rooted G1.

    If so, could you post your exact G1 root mod versions (JF 1.3/1.4, Mod RC29/30, and etc). and whether or not WorldClass service on the G1 was a success.

    As far as the rates go, they seem pretty high so I'm still unsure of whether I should get the WorldClass service, or unlock my phone so I can use a prepaid Tmobile sim card in country. Any personal experiences would be great.

    Thanks.

    rooted with WCS, never taken over seas yet. but from what i hear the data still manages to trickle in even thou you are not surfing or checking email. and the rates are hefty. i called up and they gave me my unlock code a couple of days later, so ill be getting a local sim wherever i go.

    Yea that's what I was afraid of...their data rates are just too rediculous to allow data to just "trickle in". I read somewhere that they charge $15/MB if you're roaming...WHAT!?

    As far as unlocking the phone, I've heard rumors you can call up Tmobile and tell them you want your phone unlocked and they will give you the code and directions for free. So until now it was just rumors, but you just confirmed they will. I think that's the route I'd rather go.

    yes they will, you call they ask for your IMEI number, then they ask for your email so they can email the code and instructions. its simple you just put in a dif sim maybe an att sim from a friend and then the g1 asks for an unlock code.

    one more thing if the rep says they dont give out unlock codes, you can ask for a manager. or if you dont feel like asking for a manager. just call again to get a dif rep. sometimes you get a rep that is really clueless.

    good luck.
