Hi there,
it seems nobody has actually mastered a way to SIM-Unlock this baby? I saw somewhere some posts for some applications that cost an amount of money. But isnt there any free one that we can all use?
A friend of mine came to me the other day and I agreed to help him, being sure that I would find here in this community the answer. Unfortunately not...
Any ideas?
It's being worked on but for now, no.
It will come for sure. The device is still fairly new and not all the relevant developers here have a Kaiser to play with.

im sure it will, i just didnt expect it to last that long. i thought SIM-unlocking is not such a big deal compared to all the ROM-cooking, Hard-SPLing all these devices.
But then again, im not a programmer, i just search and try to apply some of the things in here.
Is there a way we can determine smb. to start developing such thing?
Uh oh...I just made plans to buy a Tilt tonight. Should I still be able to have it unlocked as I have had my other phones unlocked (GSMPhoneSource)? I haven't played around with Windows Mobile much since I got my BlackBerry last summer but now I am going to have the Tilt on my other line, if I get it unlocked, and expected to unlock it the same way I did my 8525.
It may not be free, but ebay is the cheapest I found....$11.99 to unlock my tilt. Its not free, but at that price you really cant complain. And you get the code within 24hrs, usually sooner!
Yeah! I got mine unlock by paying $9.99. Received the code a day after paid.
Agreed, E-bay is the way to go for unlocking the kaiser. Some people have successfully gotten an unlock code from at&t, by telling them that they are traveling out of the states, and need to use a pre-paid sim card while traveling. But in that case you would need to have an account with at&t. (unless you have some 1337 social engineering skills, and/or a really gullible service rep) Also there are some people working on a free (software) solution. Last I checked they were making some good progress, but they have yet to figure it out. I paid 15 duckets for my code on ebay and it took them about 6 hours to deliver it. 15 bucks is a fair price in my opinion, and I've seen 'em going for 10 bucks since then. Anyhow, just tell your friend to give you 10 bucks and that's that. laterz.
can you give me a link for the ebay sites that offer cheap kaiser unlocking?
Leeky!...where did you get the unlocker for ATT Kaiser
I got the same version as your. I tried the unlocker I bought from Ebay but that does not seem to work. Please share if you know any good unlocker.

Hi
I am in the UK and want to unlock my T-Mobile MDA Vario III to use another networks sim.
Has anyone used this ebay seller to unlock their UK MDA Vario III?
same here. vario III waiting to be unlocked )
Thanks,..I will try that. There's another Ebayer selling unlocking SW but did not work for me. Kaiser HardSPLv1.zip and HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a were what I got but did not work. Did you get something similar to mine from where you bought your SW?
It can be unlocked

Hey everyone,
I've been searching on here and somehow I'm not finding ANY helpful info on how to unlock a G1 to work on AT&T. I want to buy one of craigslist and it seems most people aren't able to get customer service to unlock it for me.
Is there any way to unlock it, even if i need to flash the ADP1 firmware or something?
I really thought there would be a sticky for this, but so far all I've found is paid services.
I can borrow a friend's T-Mobile sim if i need one temporarily to access anything for the unlocking.
Thanks!
-Taylor
P.S. I'm hoping to buy one today, so the sooner someone answers my question the sooner i can get in on this new android love!
I believe as of now you have only one choice - buy unlock code on eBay or some other online shops.
get the phone and have a friend that has t-mo say that they are going out of the country and they need the unlock code for their phone. t-mo will ask for the IMEI and you give them that and they will email you an unlock code. but i am pretty sure that you will be stuck with edge network on at&t. not that i have any choice as t-mo STILL doesn't have 3G in stl
Hey, thanks for the help. I only have one friend with Tmobile and she probably could have helped me, but i was hoping there was a more guaranteed way, in case that didn't work. So flashing the ADP1 firmware and bootloader doesn't do it? I assume that the right people have looked at this and all that?
Well it would be cool if we could crack that, but lucky for me i finally found someone with an unlocked g1 at a great price - $250 for a barely used one with accessories and box, still with the original plastic on the screen, it's basically brand new! I was going to buy one that had been used for a few months, just had a charger, and was locked for the same price! I actually thought it might have been stolen till i met the kid, he was driving a brand new car and only looked to be about 18, so basically he was just rich and didn't care too much if he got the most he could get, heh.
So yeah, I have a G1 now and it's unlocked and works great. I of course don't get 3G on ATT but i had an old iphone before that didn't have 3G, so i'm at least not worse of. And somehow the G1 downloads pages much faster than the 2G iphone, interestingly enough, so I'm pretty happy.
Thanks for your help guys. is there a way we could maybe sticky this or something, maybe make a new post that is the official sim unlock thread and sticky that? I never found a place that specifically said you couldn't unlock it, except for a few posts from before the phone was even out with people speculating, so it was pretty tough for me to find out. Sure, i didn't find anything that said you COULD unlock it easily, but i didn't find a lot the other way either and i wasn't sure if I was just missing something.
Thanks,

I used this one to unlock my g1

within 20 min, I received my unlock codes. And it really worked
as t-mobile asked me 125 Euros for unlocking (the Netherlands)
[TUT] The easiest and truly free way to SIM Unlock your AT&T HTC HD7S bought up front
If you bought your HTC HD7S branded by AT&T like me from Fry's and paid 99 USD for it because you didn't want a stinking AT&T plan with their high prices, you can just CALL AT&T at 1 800 331 0500 and if you speak English (which I think you do since you're reading this, I don't know how to do this for Spanish), press 1 after the lady is done talking and then 0 again after she is done talking.
Don't give the answering machine your phone number or anything, just act like you're a total idiot.
An operator will answer and here's what I told them that gave me my SIM Unlock code FOR FREE IN 2 MINUTES OVER THE PHONE WITH AT&T!!!!!! They didn't even ask me for my address or a copy of my receipt or ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!! (just my name and any other phone number in case the call got disconnected or dropped)
"Hi, I bought this phone at Fry's and paid for it up front a total of 99 USD. I'd like to know if I can pay for an unlock code because I know other carriers do that."
The operator will be clueless at first not even knowing whether or not it's possible. He'll then read a bunch of documentation, ask you if you already have a phone number with AT&T which I didn't give him because I didn't even have one (I'm with PTel), and then he'll tell you that this model is actually unlockable and he'll read to you a bunch of pretty useless stuff after which he'll ask for your IMEI, you can give him that and he'll give you the unlock code JUST LIKE THAT, BAM!!!
Happily SIM Unlocked since 10 minutes ago when I got off the phone with the operator of all people!!!! Who knew they could unlock phones for you?
Silly me, I thought downgrading to a custom ROM would SIM Unlock my phone because everybody keeps using the word Unlock instead of saying JAILBREAK for crying out loud, how are people going to differentiate between the two?
I come from an iPhone background where I always unlocked and jailbroke my family and friend's iDevices and I have to tell you one thing, it's so much harder to deal with a Windows Phone than with an iPhone, I had no idea...
And these forums, they're full of broken links and outdated information and people posting solutions they never tried. I wish there was a thread janitor that would just remove wrong threads......
Anyways, happy unlocking for free!!! No trialpay BTW!!!
Now this might have worked for me just because I bought mine up front, but it might also work for you, I don't know. What does an operator know anyways? And their response time was like 1 second!
You must've just got lucky, I just tried with like 3 different reps all talking about "Oh no, you would need to have an account with us before anyone would even THINK of giving you an unlock code."
Hi All, (I just tried to pot this but this site crashed after a three minute wait, so hope this is not a duplicate)
I have been a developer of window applications for many years and have finally decided to see about working with winphone. Sorry for the really basic questions but I am totally out of my depth here. Once I get started with the phone, the programming will not be such an issue as I have looked at some source code for winphone apps and it is all pretty straight forward stuff. I have installed the SDK and so far, so good.
I have owned a smart phone for two weeks so be gentle, please.
I have been given a Nokia 520 AT&T GoPhone as a test bed. It is of course locked to AT&T pre-paid. I would like to use the TMo SIM from my
current phone but the GoPhone spits on it with "unknown network."
I need to understand exactly what unlocking means. If I follow the process for a new ROM here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515453
Will the phone still be tied to the AT&T network or will the TMo SIM now work?
I have seen a section on the msoft site for dev-unlocking, I have paid the $19 fee to join the low-level devs and now wondering if that unlocking process will allow the use of the TMo SIM or must I buy an unlocked 520 or something else.
I'd really appreciate some guidance here.
Thanks
GSM radio firmware is usually what controls the SIM lock, and is usually completely separate from the OS firmware. I do not believe Nokia Care Suite can SIM-unlock (or change the SIM lock) for you, although I have not personally tried.
Please do NOT continue starting new threads instead of discussing these topics on the existing threads where they belong! In addition, the question about dev-unlock vs. SIM-unlock has been asked (and answered) many times before. Rule #1 of this forum: Search Before Posting! (No, dev unlock has absolutely zilch to do with SIM lock and it won't help you there.)
Please! tell me how can i do it. Im willing to pay. If i wont unlock it im stuck with 2 devices. It is Sprint Prepaid.
Thank you !!!

Prepare for a soap box, I've hidden this now because as relevant as it is, it's a little over the top.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CALL SPRINT AND GET AN DEVICE UNLOCK CODE FROM THEM! It's pretty simple. Ya'll need to quit with all these posts. You're not encouraging anyone to do any work any quicker than they might already be doing it. You are simply being an annoyance. Twenty thousand posts about the same thing is getting really old. Buy a phone that works with your SIM card, buy a device already SIM unlocked, or wait until someone figures out a way!
STOP ASKING A MILLION TIMES OVER FOR THE SAME THING!!
This post is not just against you but EVERYONE begging over and over again about the same thing. The same thing goes for those with 64 bit devices who beg for a 64 bit recovery.

Ok sherlock, Already called sprint before i made this post. You know what was their answer? "WE CANT UNLOCK IT, SORRY SIR". Yes, very dissapointing, I know. She told me "you can only use the wifi". Like, if she would answer me - Get lost.
And btw, I already have a phone, A OnePlus One I just bought these 2 sprint phones from amazon for super cheap - 30$ each. I've been planning using them as a backup / Give one for my sister's boyfriend. So, just saying again, I hope someone can do it and unlock it..
Go after Sprint
Seems to me that we are growing frustrated at the wrong people...
Obama signed into law a few months back that requires the phones to be "Unlockable" by the end user. I do know, a lot of the carriers have voluntarily put in promise to comply in the future, in regards to selling Unlockable phones. But, I just see it as lip service and does not help us Now.
Someone or a group of people need to take this up with the FCC or Justice Department...
But at the very least file a class action lawsuit on two fronts... I personally am miffed about this same phone being marketed as a 4 Gig of internal memory, when in fact it really has about 1.5 Gigs or less of available memory. And, this whole SIM/Locked, S-On, Bootloader Locked nonsense.

Well Watson, if Sprint wont help you, instead of creating such a useless thread--that helps nobody and gets you no answers--how about you utilize the search function and notice that nobody has currently found a way to sim unlock (save Virgin Mobile apparently). You'll also notice how many useless posts there are about this same thing. So "for the love of god", either figure it out yourself or sit patiently. You posting about this issue, really a non-issue, is not going to get it solved any faster. You are simply being an annoyance just like every other user incessantly posting about the same thing. I'm sorry if this seems mean or whatever but that post wasn't necessarily directed at you but all the damn posts about this non-issue. And honestly this is something you should have researched and considered before you bought the phone.
Sorry, I'm off the soap box.
Also, try calling Sprint International Customer Service at 1-888-226-7212 and tell them you are going to be traveling abroad to whatever country you want and tell them you want to use a local sim card while you're there. I can't tell you that they'll definitely do it because on the website it says that prepaid phones are not eligible to be unlocked, however, there are multitude of places on the internet (some respected, others not so much) that you can go to and get your MSL code. Also, this is the bill @flash4yish was talking about which you might bring up in conversation with Sprint, H.R.1123 - Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act
Regardless, just chill, people are in fact working on it as it's a hot topic in the forums so it's really just a matter of time.
