Re: The Play Nexus 4 and the T-Mobile Nexus 4
Right. Perhaps I'm wording this wrong. I was told, I also tested, and noticed confirmation from other users on other forums - bought through T-Mobile, the Nexus 4 gave some users connectivity problems while trying to use AT&T SIMs. Personally, I couldn't get the phone to work with an AT&T SIM at all. The store manager also explained that "if I left T-Mobile, after having bought the phone on contract, [they] will need to unlock it for me in order for non-T-Mobile SIMs to work." That's what I was told, and that's the experience I had, and that's what others have claimed as well. I certainly don't know enough about locking/unlocking or firmware all too well. However, I was simply responding to someone who had asked about an on contract experience. I'm not making any of this up. This is my experience. Not trying to confuse anyone.
