Anybody been able to get it sim unlocked yet?

I just contacted sprint about this and was denied because I have a spending limit. The bad this is I purchased this phone at full retail price so i owe them nothing on this phone
 
I just got the $650 64 GB Developer Edition and am a bit surprised. The Mic Icon is missing on the Keyboard and the voice is absent on all Google Now searches. Anyone experience that?

The HTC One is a big departure from my Nexus 4 I paid 350 for unlocked. Both great phones but the JB 4.1 is smurfed up out of the box compared to the N4's 4.2.2.

There is a department that handles unlocking phones. They cannot decline you the ability to unlock your phone if it paid in full. They did not want to unlock mine because it has not been on the account more than 60 days, I told them I bought the phone full price and able to provide proof. They unlocked the phone for me immediately.
 
I'll call in today about it because I find it crazy they wouldn't unlcock a phone I paid full retail for
 
Hopefully, I'll be unlocked soon:

UPDATE: Got my Sprint email today that I'm unlocked. Now to find a SIM card to activate . . .

Unlocked for international only most likely. I tried and tried to be fully unlocked even for domestic and Sprint said they won't do it.. Only for international sim cards. So I switched carriers since they wanted to control my fully bought phone.

This is if you have a sprint connection. I don't have it. Then would they be unlocking it? How? I really want it.

I never found a way. I called Sprint and got it unlocked for international but for domestic it wouldn't work.. And they flat out told me they wouldn't unlock for domestic (T-mobile / AT&T).

Yes, it's for an international SIM
 
You have a sprint account?

I did. I left them last Thursday.. I wanted my HTC One I had with them unlocked for domestic SIM cards... I bought it full price and they still said no... So that plus the fact that 3g was getting worse in some areas I left to T-Mobile.

Just saw this thread and wanted to share my experience. Sprint will unlock for international... Just have to call and ask... But they flat out said they will never unlock for domestic SIM cards (for use with AT&T / T-Mobile).

I was never with Sprint and they told me I'll have to be on Sprint. Also they have condition of being with them for 90 days and no credit limit.

Check with them again.. I guarantee they mean 90 days and they unlock international only. If that's what you need you're good... If you want domestic.. Don't get the Sprint version of the phone.

If you bought it full price or reached the end of your contract, they are obligated by law to completely unlock the device.

Refusing to unlock it for full use is called a partial unlock and breaks that law. I hope sprint knows what they are doing, or they may see some lawsuits in the foreseeable future.

Oh I agree it was total bull sh.. It was my device and they didn't contribute anything. I talked to a manager and said "so even though you didn't contribute to this device at all I am forced to always be locked except for international?"... His response was "yes we do not unlock for domestic". That's when I said no problem I'll be leaving.. Don't think he believed me but the next day I was in a tmobile store swapping.

I couldn't fathom how Sprint can just flat out say they can lock me to their network when I bought the phone entirely.
