  Likely to be no, unless you can buy an unlock code from a 3rd party off ebay or something.

  If you’re an AT&T, a T-Mobile or a Sprint customer, or use another carrier, check the company’s site for unlocking instructions. In most cases, typical requirements include a completed contract commitment with the company and a device that has not been reported as lost or stolen.

  No, locking works the same way over there to here.

  Also be aware that the bands for T-Mobile aren’t the same as here. Check the specs on the phone you want and the carrier you want to use.

    I actually looked at the other seller, but soon found their good feedbacks are all fake ( very cheap items from same buyers again and again),

    Look at those two sellers, seems to be the same store from Hong Kong.

    With 3000+ fake good feedbacks, and a dozen of real bad feedbacks.
    (All the good ones are from same buyers, for low priced best offer items, could be just 1 cent).

    Those two sellers could be real scammers, selling you repaired or fake phones, or just send you empty boxes.

    Be aware.

  Thought I read something about, T-mobile locked phone is only locked to T-mobile inside US, and when you are traveling outside the US, it accepts any SIM.
  So it is not the case?
