   Just to be "clear"... since this Android newsgroup is a technical group...   
      
   The original post doesn't make it clear "what" is being unlocked.   
   Or, maybe it's clear, and I just didn't catch "what" is being unlocked.   
      
   If you want a "network unlock", for example, that's usually done by the   
   carrier, and, in fact, for my T-Mobile device which was free, T-Mobile   
   automatically unlocked the entire set of Android & iOS devices I got.   
      
   They did that AUTOMATICALLY - presumably with a carrier update over the air   
   for EVERY T-Mobile phone in the USA that was locked until you fully owned   
   it (which took two years from the date that you received it for free).   
      
   As for a "bootloader unlock", that's a different beast altogether.
