My AT&T Titan from the Microsoft Store came SIM-Unlocked

(UPDATED: FALSE) My AT&T Titan from the Microsoft Store came SIM-Unlocked

UPDATE: As pointed out a couple time below, SIM cards from AT&T MVNO's will work in SIM-locked AT&T phones. Sorry for the false information.

On Friday, I got an AT&T-branded Titan from the Microsoft Store here in Houston. I'm a new AT&T customer and chose the free-with-two-year contract option. Phone was activated and working on the AT&T network before I left the store.

I was surprised just now when I popped in my H20 Wireless SIM card and it booted up without asking for an unlock code. I used it to make several calls, then switched back to the AT&T SIM without any problems.

An unexpected bonus! Saves me from paying a few bucks to obtain an unlock code.

Thats pretty sweet. I wonder if my amazon.com one will come that way too!

I will have to test this tomorrow on mine. I also bought it at the Microsoft store.

I believe H2O Wireless uses the AT&T Network. Try it with a T-Mobile sim.

I know when I go to the UK my phone hooks up to the H20 network.

Is it called H20 over there ?

It's O2 here, is it the same company (Telefonica) dulciusEXasperis ?

EDIT: Just has a wee lookie, it's Locus Telecoms there if i have the right one.

I was just being curious.

Maybe it was O2. I can't remember now. There's definitely an O2 in it though lol.

The OP is mistaken & jumped the gun without researching. H2O Wireless is DEF an AT&T MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) & uses their exact same network. And you don't need an unlocked phone to use them. Even the iPhone works with their SIM.

 

[TheWeeBear]

Yes I think they are totally different companies palandri & dulciusEXasperis.

H2O is a sub of AT&T is just like Tmobile and Simple mobile. all these and parents company and their baby company using same net work. I bet Tmobile sime will not work.
