T-Mobile Relaxes SIM Unlock Policies, Better for Overseas Travel

Jan 19, 2010

Traveling overseas and using a GSM cell phone requires some careful planning to get the service you want. For example, did you remember to get your handset unlocked by T-mobile so you could use a different SIM card overseas?

Getting T-mobile to hand over the unlock codes has always been a bit of a pain; while it's totally within your rights (according to your contract, at least), you'll more often than not get an operator who needs to be convinced that you fit the criteria. Well, that just got a bit easier.

Starting January 21, T-mobile will be relaxing their unlock guidelines. You once had to be a T-Mobile customer for 90 days before you could request an unlock, FlexPay and PostPaid customers can both now call in for a code at just 40 days. Customers on prepaid plans will have to wait 60 days and will need to have at least 10 dollars in their account, though as long as you've refilled within the past 30 days, you should be okay.
