nice to meet you!
So I'm with Sprint and got a Nexus 5. Sprint of course didn't have any screen protectors so I went to get a Zagg from a TMo corp store. I let the sales guy give me a pitch and it seems like a good deal. I'm thinking about switching. What I'm wondering is, can I get a prepaid SIM to test out the TMo coverage and data speeds? I have a Nexus 5, but I'm pretty sure I have to unlock the Nexus 5 before I can use it on TMobile. Once I've tested teh coverage out, assuming I want to go back to Sprint, do they need to like re-lock it for activation on their network again? I just wanna test out Tmobiles service before I jump ship. I'm in Seattle now and I've heard they have a pretty solid 4G network in the city but I figured I'd ask before I start buying SIM kits

You can just get a Micro sim card from the Tmo site. It was free when I ordered one a few months ago. The Nexus 5 cannot be locked by any carrier.

Cool thanks, my Sprint online account had something about 'Click here to get a pin/puk unlock code!' so that confused me.

Good to know, thanks for the info. I've been with Sprint for years. They sent me a picocell free of charge so I'm gonna give em til the end of the contract before I jump ship.
