Does it have to be unlocked or whatever? I want to switch to T-Mobile, but would like to keep the phone.

Only problem with this phone on T-Mo would be no 1700 band. Meaning it's either LTE or 2G. No 3G/4G (HSPA+).
If you are in a refarmed T-Mobile area, you'll get 3G on the1900 frequency.
T-Mobile contracts are 30days and out, so go ahead and try it for 30days, if you don't like it you can change phones or change carriers.
I hear that term refarmed all the time....do you know of a good mapping site that lays out what carriers are using what bands and where?
Most of what I find is just community driven data, which is normally pretty far behind because by the time you get enough data to make it relevant the network has changed 3 times already.
I have 928 on Tmobile. Works great. No problem at all. But I don't have LTE and MMS (both I don't need, so don't care), SMS works fine
the other day i was messing around and chose a network under "cellular" vs automatic. tried checking my balance w 3G on and it worked. i'm on ptel btw.
tried it just now and unable to send again. so either i was wrong or there was some other setting i played with that let it send sms under 3g.
