Someone here living in the UK posted that he got Orange UK desimlocked for free his mobile.
What I can tell you is: If you have some time and some money to lose calling Orange Custumer Service (I recommend you to call them not from your mobile but at 0825 005 700 from your home or office number because it's much cheaper) and if you find also a credible excuse to SIM unlock you phone, you have a possibility to get it. My excuse was I was going to Australia for 6 months on holidays and Orange mobiles there have not SIM card, so I needed to use my phone with other operator's SIM cards, because calling from Australia 6 months with my Orange Pro plan was too expensive and I couldn't buy a prepaid SIM card from Orange Australia and, obviously, I couldn't use a prepaid SIM card form other operator because my phone was SIM locked... I added that I have more than 400 addresses, phone numbers and emails in my SPV M2000 (which is true), so I couldn't see other possibility that to ask them to unlock my phone.
After a few calls and talk with some people, going to my France Telecom Shop (I made most calls to the Orange Customer Service from there, which I didn't pay), pretending that I had no clue that the phone was locked when I bought it...
After a few calls they proposed me to unlock my mobile for 76 euros. I bought it on December 30th, so it's still a good deal if you compare that a desimlocked Qtek costs more than 800 euros at Darty and I paid for mine only 475 euros. Then I realized that if I insisted a bit more, I could have it for free... and IT WORKED OUT!
They finally gave me the code to unlock the mobile.
I cannot give you here my IMEI number, but the code they gave is 79064041
Well, guys, maybe this works also in other Countries with other operators... you just have to be patient, to be lucky to speak with someone nice and pretend to be stupid.

I got the same comment from O2.....needs to go via HTC
now if we could recruit someone from HTC we could pay them some serious money worldwide !!!
Does the M2000 have any preinstalled orange themes in it?
if so, can someone post them
Guys,
After a few calls to Orange Custumer Service pretending to be a real stupid, they asked me my IMEI number (which they knew already because I made a mistake and the lady at the other end of the line corrected me). Then, they asked my my name and address (I suposse to be sure of my identity) and they gave me code. Nobody spoke to me about HTC... I even think that the person I spoke with knows about HTC...
It wasn't a very easy thing but it took me only 3 hours to get it.
My fisrt call was from home and the rest from France Telecom office just a few meters away from where I live.

Hi to all

Explain unlocked. The device is not SIM-locked, and the Extended ROM is not locked, just hidden. And there have a been a number of posts regarding access to the Extended ROM, including on PocketPC Dubai and my blog.

Since there aren't any SIM locked devices on the market yet, I don;t think anyone has busted it yet. If you are going to stay on as a T-Mobile customer you should be able to ask them for an unlock code, so you can use it abroad. Provided that it is locked as they have been in the past.

I have an MDA Pro from t-mobile on contract. I have spoken to t-mobile and they will unlock the phone after the contract is 1 month old. for a small fee I think. they unlocked my MDA 3 for £20.
if you want to buy the MDA vario from the netherlands, u must know it is in dutch, and locked. i have one now
Unlocking (SIM-lock) the MDA Vario T-mobile (Wizard)
The MDA Vario by T-Mobile is SIM locked (for 2 years). I would love to have a program to unlock it. I tried the xdadv_all_unlock tool, but off course that didn't work.. If anyone knows how to remove the SIM lock, give me a shout!
Hi timeout

Wait no longer I've just unlocked my T-Mobile Vario by using :-
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php
It's worked great and I can now use my Orange SIM with no problems.
@leewilko: how much did they charge you?
£20 (20 ukp)
Hi, I have the XDA Mini S (a.k.a. HTC Wizard) from O2 Germany. I want to install an english version. I'm worried that if I unlock the device (I guess this is needed in order to install a new OS) I'll lose the old one. Is there a way to back everything up before upgrading so that I can restore it if I don't want to lose my warranty?

Wizard SIM Unlock Tool works right for my M3000 Orange France, now my Wizard is unlock
Thank you very much buzzdev
holy crap it works!!!
it is machinegod who has involved this
so big thanks yo him........
Buzz did also research!
but main question is now who brings us an MDA PRO unlocker...:!!!
OK, OK, so let me get this straight - this crack does what - cracks the bootlader like the tool from imei-check.co.uk or it gets round the country check when trying to install a new OS?
any way for sim unlock a t-mobile wing?
Just call T-Mobile and tell them you'll be traveling overseas and you need to Unlock your phone. They will get the numbers of your phone from you and then they'll send you the Unlock code for free.
I paid $10.00 for this information. My gift to you.
i have one

How those sites which charges $ generates the unlock code it? There must be a generator.
This is a thread about the herald / wing . you posted something that is not very useful !!!!!!! no instructions available on MANY of the HTC devices including the wing / herald / tytn / vario II.
Every American service provider will unlock 1 phone a month on your account. Why do you want to try programs for other phones?
He's right I called tmobile and told them I was going to England for 2 months and they gave my unlock code.

This is correct. Thread closed. Just call your provider and tell them you are going overseas.
Hi Ya
Pls help me looking everywhere desperately for an unlock code for my G1
My uncle bought me a G1 in England and i live in Greece..... So i really need an unlock code....
If someone could help me giving me my unlock code i would be very very happy.
BTW i will PM my IMEI to the one who can find it for me...
Or if nobody can find anything can someone tell me when the will be a program coming out to unlock the G1 like they did for the Iphone ....
Hello there,
This isn't the answer you're probably looking for, but you'd need to get back in contact with T-Mobile UK. As they will be the only ones that hold the unlocking code for you. Root'ing will not be able to unlock you're phone so there is no program for this. Not to sure how much unlocking codes cost from t-mobile, there is no information on the website. You could try and call +44 79539 66 150 which is the roaming number (it'll put you to the front of the queue and you can ask an agent there)
Hope this helps!
Hi again
Thanx a lot for trying to help me. I will phone them monday at 12 o'clock (greek time) ....

Not to sure what the time difference is, we're BST at the mo so thats GMT+1. Opening hours are 8am till 9pm.
Hope they can provide you with your code!
Ye ok thanx ...
Any ideas what i should say ???
I phoned T-mobile US and they say with out a T-mobile account number i can't do anything... Is that true ???
I really want to try my G1
T-mobile is not necessary, it's just the free way if you are already with t-mobile. There are several 3rd party websites which can aquire an unlock code for you. Most guarentee you a code almost instantly, my understanding is htc charges them $10 and they in turn charge you $20, thereby earning $10 for a simple email/money transfer to htc. Afaik some company needs to contact htc for you, I don't think you can deal directly with htc tho that would be nice. Unfortunately I can't really recommend anyone to go thru as I've done all my unlocking thru t-mobile.
Edit: also if you know someone with t-mobile every 90 days t-mobile will unlock a phone for them. The phone doesn't have to be registered to their account just tied to t-mobile. As a matter of fact to actually unlock the dream you must put in a non-tmo sim. Your 'friend' may need to tell t-mo they intend to leave the country or something, your friend may also require a few bux for the trouble lol
Yeah usually just stating that you plan to use the mobile abroad is sufficient enough for them to hand over the code. If not then keep pressing for it and hopefully they will get a manager or someone higher to deal with the issue. The joys of support
I know in the UK certain vendors (Vodafone) offer all of their phones unlocked to begin with but I don't know what it's like in the states.
Hi guys
This morning i phoned T-mobile uk with NPerry number. LOL it was funny i waited like 10 min. Then someone finally answered but he couldn't hear what i was saying (i was on skype) so i lost 2 euros calling and i didn't have what i wanted....
So i decided to buy an unlock code. So pls tell me which site is the best and most secure ???? www.htccode.com ? (looks like it doesn't word anymore it says "This Account Has Been Suspended" ow well) what else http://www.modmygphone.com/ ???
pls anwer
And BTW thanx for the others that answered me before

Hi guys,
I want just to ask which variant of HD2 you chose on this web site. There are several variant and i don't know if i must choose htc hd2 t8585 or htc hd2 (leo) or t-mobile htc hd2. Help please. I have htc hd2 t mobile locked
Thanks
npharmacy- $27 USD to unlock your phone, not bad! Heres the link: http://leo.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-T-Mobile-HTC-HD2/
just search on ebay
I solved this problem for 7 pounds
If you have T-Mobile USA, just call them and tell them you are visiting family overseas, need to unlock it to not get killed with Roaming charges (want to put in a local sim when you get there)... they will e-mail one to you within 24-48 hours... best part is it's FREE!
I did teh same with T-Mobile UK and got it free also. I am a business customer I don't know if that makes a difference
Here in NYC its a 14 day period for new accounts or upgraded ones, to get the free unlock code
If you are in Uk, not a business customer and had the contract for more than a month it will cost you £15 and takes about 3/4 days
Yup- TMo wanted 14 days but I used htccode.com and one of the other guys used htc-unlocker.org
http://www.fuzemobility.com/300-off-contract-unlocked-hd2-update/
both worked for about the same price
I got the unloack code from htc-unlocker.org and it worked like a charm, paid almost $ 38 USD, as the new HD2 have some restricted codes unavailable from other sites, I did try a couple of others which were offering the code for as low as 15-20 USD but they didnt work, so ended up paying premium amount, but I can use my phone now.
Need Help
After we unlock the phone
can we use it on att network & do Tethering ?
how do we get the Att Tele nav on it ? will it work ?
Please Help
Thanks

best frikin answer thanks man
thru ebay, cheap and fast
bought my unlock code on ebay for £6 (T-mobile)
worked in seconds !
If this is for T-Mobile USA:
simply search for "HTC HD2 T-Mobile unlock code" on ebay. I unlocked mine for US$8 i think. When ordering, you have an option to type in a message to the seller. Type in the Carrier name (e.g. Tmobile USA) and the IMEI number, which you can find on the phone settings software or behind the battery.
It's a very simple process and I received my code by email within a couple of hours following payment.

I did the search, but can't find anyone to send it via email. They state it will be sent via postal mail in compliance with ebay's policy.
