    ok, it said fully unlocked for att, tmobile ect. renewed phone. I guess Ill send it back, t mobile didn’t have any razrs to replace mine. I see the new one is coming for pre orders on the 15th, guess Ill wait. thank you

     

    The fact says it AT&T means it isn’t the unlocked model and is a AT&T specific model.  To get those models unlocked you have to get AT&T to unlock them.  The only way they’ll unlock those is if you meet their requirements.

    You’d need AT&T to unlock it.  T-Mobile will not be able to help you
