Does the "T-Mobile" logo mean it is locked to that operator? Or is it really unlocked?

The phone will originally be locked to T-Mobile. It would need to be unlocked to use on a different carrier.

I got mine unlocked, it still has T-Mobile logo though. Mine worked smoothly on a non TMO sim without any unlock code. Just double check with the seller and he should tell exactly if you will get already unlocked or he will send an unlock code. Good luck and good choice, u wont regret this buy.

It does arrive locked to "T-Mobile", however, attached to the phone box are instructions on how to UNLOCK the phone before you put a SIM card into the phone. I cannot tell you if the instructions work because we r T-Mobile customers, therefore, had no need to "unlock" the phone. If this issue is a concern, when we were shopping for this phone there were phones on Amazon that were already "unlocked".

No, if its a GSM phone it will work with any gsm carrier. Your account is tied to a sim card, not the phone itself. Carriers often customize software on their phones for customer convenience. It will not affect its operation.In this case (gsm) "unlocked" would imply that custom software was removed.That usually requires the entire phone OS to be overwritten with a non customized version of android.

Mine was locked in to T-Mobile. I do have an AT&T; phone that has the AT&T; logo on it but I had it unlocked and now I can use anything on it. I looked at the web page again an it does specify T-Mobile so I would think you would have to unlock it to use it with someone else.

Can anyone say that they had an easy time of unlocking a T-Mobile phone? I've tried it once and found that T-Mobile would rather see 'their' phones in a landfill than be re-used through another carrier.

This is an unlocked phone, some of them come with a logo from a carrier and some of them don't.It will work with your T-mobile SIM card.

Personally I am not using it with T-Mobile as it wasn't very difficult to unlock it myself (there are instructions out there online) but I can't imagine there being a significant difference between a prepaid and post-paid Sim. You might however need to look into whether your Sim is provisioned for 4g services

it is not unlocked. It is locked to t-Mobile. This version is locked to T-Mobile. If you are not on T-Mobile you need to buy the Unlocked version.

It's factory unlocked and not branded with T-mobile. The only thing associated with T-mobile is the pack.

It is unlocked. Using with my T-Mobile account. Works fine for me in the U.S. I do not know how it would work on other providers or outside of the U.S. Love the phone!

I'm not a 100% sure, but I do believe it is locked to T-Mobile since it is offered as a free service for 2 years up to 200mb/month. There might be a way to unlock the computer like a cell phone to use on any gsm carrier but I have never looked into this.

FWIW, I bought a T616 through Cingular and although it was branded, it was unlocked.

Yes the phone is unlocked...the onlt thing is, is that it was rooted, meaning not T-Mobile or at&t software.

To be honest, I'm using this phone with T mobile, but I think is possible that the phone work with other carrier because is unlock.

Hey Of course this phone is original. I have been using it for 7 months now and it is perfectly fine. The seller is ok and please before asking if it is T-Mobile or else you can read that it is factory unlocked sim free phone. Please refer to the A to Z section of Amazon if you have any problems. They are very supportive.

Even the T-mobile version doesn't have the brand name on it. Since this is the unlocked one it shouldn't have any.

Definitely, t-mobile send me unlock code which I will to its buyer, it means it can also be used with other GSM carriers.

Generally when it is locked, it is locked to a carrier, that is Tmobile, in this case.... So, should work for another tmobile sim. sometimes if you are a paid customer for 3-4 months they will supply you with the unlock code for the phone if you are traveling out of the country with it. You can call Tmobile and ask them their policy.
