You can ask AT&T for the unlock code. But it is not recommended since AT&T M6 doesn't support T-Mobile bands. You can try our retail SKU MR6150-100NAS. It has both AT&T and T-Mobile band supports and it is unlocked.
Thanks

Hi, thanks for the reply. What are the T-Mobile bands? I'm just confused since the iPhone 14 has the same Qualcomm X65 modem, and it has all T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon bands.

On AT&T M6, we didn't enable T-Mo bands. Also AT&T and T-Mo have different CA, EN-DC support as well. If they are not set based on the network capability, the device performance will be significantly impacted.
Thanks

Does Netgear have to pay the FCC or Qualcomm for each band you enable on the modem or something? Will it at least work on T-Mobile 4G, but not 5G? I checked the band support on the M6 Pro and LTE bands 2, 4, 5, and 66 are supported. Those are used by both AT&T and T-Mobile for 4G LTE.
