How do I Unlock my T-Mobile iPhone?

Unlocking your iPhone from the T-Mobile network is a fast, easy and free way to increase the amount of your BuyBackWorld Instant Quote by allowing your iPhone to work on other networks besides just the T-Mobile network. Most T-Mobile customers are eligible to unlock their old phone after upgrading to a new device, but a full list of requirements is displayed below:

• The device MUST BE a T-Mobile device
• Your account is in good standing
• You have purchased your device from T-Mobile or an authorized T-Mobile dealer and activated it on T-Mobile service (must provide proof of purchase if T-Mobile is unable to verify purchase)
• Your device has been active on the T-Mobile network for 40 days and IS NOT reported as lost, stolen, or blocked
• You paid for your device in full (if you are under a service contract, you have made monthly payments for at least 18 consecutive months on your plan, or have paid a migration fee for the device)
• If you are on a Prepaid plan, you have had more than $50 in total refills on the device
• If you are a former customer, your account balance is zero and you did not port out a line associated with the device during the buyer's remorse period
• You have requested no more than 2 SIM unlock codes per line of service in the last 12 months

More information is available directly from T-Mobile Support
