I LOVED my panasonic phone but when I made the service switch AT&T wireless would not unlock it. They also only carried that phone for 1 year. I had paid $300 for it and only got 1 year's worth of use out of it. T-Mobile doesn't have many options in world phones and I think Motorola phones are stinkers.
Perhaps you are on Tmobile prepaid in the USA. Their prepaid does NOT allow roaming in other countries.

BUT, as a prepaid TMO customer, they will provide you with unlock codes for use with foreighn sims.
