I see the words TMO in the place where words like "Singular" and "Tmobile" would be. How do I get rid of it and why is it there?

How weird. I thought T-Mobile weren't going to carry the K750i, because of the D750i?! Interesting...

As to how you get rid of it, I would take it back where you got it and ask for an unbranded version.

Its supposed to be unlocked and I'm guessing unbranded. I'm checking with email with them now.
But now that I read what you typed. TMO could mean TMObile. I do use Tmobile. Maybe its grabbing that from my sim? I have no other sim to test that theory out.

i have TMO on mine, i thought it was just to say what operator is working at the time, because when i put my o2 sim in it changes so im guessing its not that important just like a operator logo

yeah it's just your T-Mobile operator logo. Many phones display TMO instead of T-Mobile for the operator logo. My dad's phone does that. Your phone is not branded, believe me, it's just TMO stands for T-Mobile.

Totally didn't think that you meant an operator logo. Thought you meant it was branded on the actual handset. In which case, as has already been said, it's nothing to worry about. TMO is just what T-Mobile calls T-Mobile International, I believe (as opposed to TMUK, for example)

thanks guys I feel better. My 610 that had this sim before this phone, said tmobile, so I never thought it was from my sim. Then again, that phone was locked to tmobile.
