I'll also tell you the requirements T-Mobile has in place before they'll unlock your phone so you don't run into any surprises along the way.
Why Do You Want to Unlock Your Phone in the First Place?
First, you can take it to a new carrier! With a new carrier you can:
- Have better coverage
- Save some money
- Get good BYOD switching deals
- Here are the best BYOD deals: bit.ly/BYODdeals
- Save money not having to buy a new phone when you switch
- (FYI Newer phones can generally be taken to any carrier)
- If it’s an older phone (older than 5 years) Sprint phones can generally be used just fine with Verizon (CDMA) and AT&T phones and generally be used with T-Mobile (GSM) and vice versa
- If you know the carrier you want to switch you can check your phone's compatibility on that carriers site.
- Sell it
- Take it on vacation and use a foreign SIM
