Finally! It is possible to unbrand an ATT 1020.
Method here, I have tried it, it works. My ATT branded 1020 is now a 059W473 unbranded 000-US. Except of course for the logo in the corner under the glass.
Successfully de-brand AT&T Lumia 1020! | Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking
No idea. Even with the unbranded phone, I was still an AT&T customer, and my plan includes both of those so I never saw any error message. An unbranded phone might give you some error message, but it most likely won't have anything to do with AT&T.Does internet sharing and MMS now works as it should and without any call ATT .... nonsense? Please advise. Thanks much.
