How the unlock works
A device bought on T-Mobile in United States stays tied to that carrier until the contract or instalment plan is settled. The carrier holds the lock in their database; once the record is cleared, the phone accepts any SIM.
This service clears the lock server-side using IMEI-based carrier unlock. Nothing is flashed, nothing is opened, and the device keeps its warranty. You only need the IMEI.
- Confirm the Apple iPhone is locked to T-Mobile (any carrier check service).
- Order service #340 and submit the IMEI.
- Wait for delivery — usually 1-12 hours.
- Restore or insert a new SIM; the iPhone activates without the carrier lock.
