How Many Of You Have Unlocked Your ZMAX?

I got mine unlocked to switch to T-Mobile. This phone should also work on AT&T/Cricket with no issue.
I can post the link to the site I used to unlock mine, I didn't want to wait the 90 days. Anyone else unlock their zmax?

I'd like to know where you unlocked your phone at. I need mine unlocked, and the only available option I see as of yet is paying nearly $30.00 to have it unlocked.
 
I switched back from the T-Mobile One plan after I finished my testing of network speeds in my city and congested areas.... Spoiler, they're almost identical. MetroPCS is worth more because I can actually watch videos in 1080P...
 
You should be able to watch in 1080 on T-Mobile as well but you have to go into your account settings first and turn off BingeOn or whatever it's called.

I bought mine with the intention of unlocking and swapping in my T-Mobile sim so as soon as unlock services opened up I jumped all over that $5 unlock.
 
The T-Mobile One plan has permanent BingeOn. I went back to MetroPCS anyway, as the speeds in my area are almost identical, even in congested areas. Ever since the TTL mod, I've been using a shit ton of data, I'm at 50GB right now lol.
 
Good to know thanks. Wasn't aware it couldn't be turned off on some plans. Seems like a pretty dumb "feature".
 
It makes sense, you can't really blame T-Mobile. They can't really know how many people and in what areas will buy the unlimited plan, they could have avoided a huge problem by forcing 480P. Honestly though, that's the point of Unlimited Data for most people so they also put people off from buying it. They just want to make sure that their towers aren't overloaded with too many people. T-Mobile is getting more subscribers per year than any of the other carriers so I guess they're being cautious. MetroPCS is unknown to most and I guess that's why they don't have the same restrictions : they don't need to worry about the same problems.

i bought my zmax pro july 26th and on ebay a seller from the U.K unlocked my device for $1.98 in U.S.dollars. Took 3 hours. Wow only the early bird catches the worm. lol
 
In this day in age having two phones is not a bad thing. So my zmax pro is my backup line and my rooted phones are my daily drivers. I have a lg stylo, zmax and galaxy note 5. I like big screens.
 
Does anyone know if ZTE will send me a phone locked to Metro PCS if I send in an unlocked device due to screen and signal drops?
