This will be a conversation you'll have to have with T-Mobil. You'll need to ask them for the SIM unlock code, or have them remotely unlock the phone or do so at a T-Mobil location. Each cell phone carrier has its own guidelines for unlocking phones.

It really should be no problem for them as long as their unlock policy is reasonable. For example, Verizon states that new phones purchased from them will be carrier locked for 60 days, then automatically unlocked. How T-Mobil chooses to manage their locking policy is up to them.


Good luck.
