V3 Issue

All,

I have a question regarding an unlocked V3. I received a "supposedly" unlocked T-Mobile phone from a third party person through e-bay. When I received the phone, I put in my att SIM. It then asked for the subsidy code so I knew then that it was not unlocked.

He "claims" that it is unlocked. He stated that it is unlockled for T-Mobile

. I have never heard of an unlocked phone for 1 specific carrier. It sounds like bs to me.

Just to verify though, is there such a thing as and unlocked phone for a specific carrier. If so, what is special about it?

Also, I know in order to get the subsidy code, can call T-Mobile and give them my name, model number, IMEI, etc. Once i give it to them, will they "force" me to get/sign up for a t-mobile plan since I am not a t-mobile customer?

Thanks in advance....

I have never heard of an unlock for a certain carrier. It is either locked to a carrier or unlocked to all. Sounds like you should demand refund if he was misleading in wording.

Unlocked means any carrier you have a locked phone.

The seller either doesn't know what unlocked means or doesn't care that he ripped you off..in either case, he's a jack ***
