Last week, we made a post about unlocking your unactivated T-Mobile G1 and using its features without activating it, this time, we’ll show you a way to beat T-Mobiles 90 day unlock policy and to totally unlock your T-Mobile G1 and use another SIM on it, only setback is that it will cost you $22.99 USD.
Thanks to the guys at Unlock-TMobileG, who the first to successfully unlock the G1, unlocking the G1 is as easy as making a phonecall.
After placing an order including your IMEI code you will receive an eight-digit unlock code for your device. Your IMEI number can be found by pressing *#06# in the dialer, or by going into your settings, selecting “About phone” and then selecting “Status”. The IMEI number then can be found about half way down, it is 15 digits long. After you receive your unlock code you insert a non-T-Mobile SIM card and the G1 will prompt for an unlock code, enter the unlock code provided to you and hit unlock. You will then know the device is unlocked with a notification that reads “Network Unlock Successful”, it is as simple as that.
Here is another good news, if you aren’t into paying the fee, there is a slight chance that you could win one of three free codes by entering a contest put on for Android Community members. Below is a video of another T-Mobile G1 user who has sent over this video that demonstrates that the unlocking process actually works
