Hi Anthony, The response from nospam is classic becuase he just doesn't like anytime Android has functionality that iOS doesn't - so - all his posts are just sour grapes. Anyway, I called T-Mobile today to ask for details about the app from their second-level support team, and it turns out that there is a caveat which you should be aware of. This is hard to swallow, but this is what they told me: 1. You can no longer ask for an unlock code to be sent to you by email if your phone is eligable for the app. 2. The only phones eligiable for the Android unlocking app are the Samsung Galaxy S5 and above, and the LG phones V10 and above and a few smaller manufacturers. 3. If you have one of those phones, you *must* use the app, they say - and - you will be faced with two choices - one of which may be grayed out: a. Unlock for 30 days only b. Unlock permanently 4. Whether or not a permanent unlock is available will only depend on whether the phone is paid off or not, according to T-Mobile. 5. However, interestingly, if you have *any other phone* (iOS or Android), then after 40 days of use on their service, they *will* unlock it permanently "if" you say you're going overseas. Given that, notice that you have *more functionality* if you *don't* have the phones which quality for the Android app - in that you can permenantly unlock any phone when going overseas after 40 days *except* those listed phones, even if you still *owe* a balance on the phone! Bear in mind, I was *extremely clear* with T-Mobile when I asked them these questions, as I explicitly mentioned that I plan on giving the phone to another person once I trade it in, and they said that as long as I stayed on the T-Mobile service for 2 years, they don't care what I do with the phone. 3.
