T-Mobile G1 unlock possible; Android Community celebrates with giveaway
- nuclear_eclipse 18y agoWhy does unlocking the phone cost $22.99? T-Mobile should unlock your phone for free if you just tell them you want to travel abroad.
- randallsquared 18y agoWell, they want you to have had service with them (on some contract, not necessarily the G1 contract) for three months, first. If you buy the G1 locked from some third party, you may not have that option.
- randallsquared 18y agoEr, their first unlock. I've seen several forum posts about people unlocking their G1s already. Anyone know a reputable source for buying a G1 full price? My experience attempting to sign up with T-mobile a few days ago has lost me as a customer for them.

According to the above article, if you are persistent, you can eventually find a t-mobile dealer who will sell you a full price gphone for $399. It would be nice to have a cover story that you are an android developer, blah blah blah, and don't need a service contract. You can also activate it by temporarily borrowing a valid t-mobile sim card.
