Now all of those that thought the T-Mobile G1 Android phone was totally locked can now breathe easy, the T-Mobile G1 Google Android-powered smartphone is exclusive to T-Mobile which meant that other network users may miss out.
Canadians and AT&T subscribers all wish to get on in the Android action, well now you can (Apparently). Many of you wish for the T-Mobile HTC G1 phone to be unlocked, so can you really unlock the T-Mobile G1 Android phone? Well yes is the big fat answer here.
Apparently T-Mobile has an official policy which means they are willing to provide you with a SIM Unlock code, the only downside is that you have been a T-Mobile customer for a minimum of 90 days; you can put a request in every 90 days. Now if you can get your hands on the new phone unlocked after it launches it leaves us and others with a major question, “If this phone can be used on other networks like Rogers, AT&T or Fido, what will the phone lack in?

hey thanks for the internet settings..that worked out perfect..now all we need to do is figure out the mms settings.. thats like one of the only reason i wanted this phone was to be able to send mms.. the phone is amazing for other things to..but i have a iphone that does all the other great things.. if anyone can help me and fred with mms that would be great…
I tried those settings and no good.
However, I changed the mnc back to 410 and the edge symbol popped up and the internet is now working!!!!! Thank you!!
Hey guys!
I’m not sure how to get into the settings on the G1 to make the changes you mentioned, any help would be appreciated! Also, any idea what’s up with not being able to get on AT&T’s 3g network?

t-mobile and AT&T 3G work on two different frequencies.. So if u are like me and have the unlocked g1 we will won’t have 3G u fortunately.. Everything on my g1 works except MMS. I have been searching everywhere to figure how to fix it but no answer yet
to get to the settings go into settings then wireless controls then mobile networks setting then access point names once inside press menu the add new apn
thats it
and i have not found a way to make the mms work yet i will let you guys know if i do
here is an update to the settings this now will get incoming mms i have not been able to send one yet let me know if you have better luck also username was spelled wrong in last post its wap.cingulargprs.com also mnc may be 41 or 410 depending east or west coast
