call your carrier for the unlock code. say you want to send your phone overseas as a present or you are about to travel overseas. they would gladly send u an unlock code within 24hrs.

Once it's unlocked, does that mean that it can be used on AT&T and T-Mobile? Or does it only use it for that one?
Thanks for the info, y'all.

Unlocked means you can use a sim card from any carrier you want

Problem is that I'm not in USA, and do not have T-Mobile sim (number, contract, whatever). Thank you anyway I'll continue to search.

Well you can pay to get an unlock code. Or if you know anyone in the states that has T-Mobile and give them you IMEI number and have them get you an unlock code. There is no generator or firmware that will do it as of now.

I've used code from htccode.com and it works! Thank you!

SIM UNLOCK Treo 500v...

His there any software to sim unlock a treo 500v...?
I have the same question. The handset is locked to vodafone spain
Thanks and regards
The Treo 500v is not a HTC device.
doesn't really matter if it's HTC or not, this is a network issue.
call your service provider and tell them that you have to go out of country for a bit and you need to unlock your phone and they might just give you the code.

Entering the unlock code from AT&T

To anyone who can help me,
I am aware that to recieve the unlock code from AT&T all one has to do is call them up, say you are traveling oversees, and then give them your IMEI number and then you recieve the code. I am wondering, however, if it is possible to enter that number in the phone if it isnt registered or has a plan. What i would like to do is buy this phone, walk out the doors of AT&T and then call them up, unlock the code and insert my SIM, without having to make a plan for the phone with them.
-Thanks to anyone who can provide useful information
Go to the att coperate store, not authorized dealer; buy the tilt at full price. Call them right there and ask for the subsidy unlock code. Normally, the rep will require a fax of the receipt which shows that you pay at full price if you're not att subcriber.
In the worst case, there are some solutions for you:
1, Return the tilt within 30 days and get your full money back.
2. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039 to get it unlock by yourself.
BTW, do you really want to buy the phone which is set for "end of life" in December?
Thank you for the information. I was not aware that the tilt would be coming to an end. What would you recomend that would have the... Live TV, WIFI, and other features such as the tilt?

End of Life? Where are you getting that from? Can you post a link with info please
I just got one and used this thread to unlock it myself. Hell with talking to ATT, thats an endless loop that takes like 5 calls and alot of patience.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375583
I would probably unlock the phone myself, but due to the fact that i am not as tech savy i would not want to risk it. Also if you unlock it yourself, doesnt it re-lock with updates, where as the ATT unlock, unlocks it for good.
Everyone was noob at sometimes. It's not hard as you may think. Furthermore, if you can't get it unlock yourself AND att doesn't give out the unlock code then return it and get your full money back within a month. Good deal?
No. Tilt is not a PC so you don't have to worry that it will be re-locked when you upgrade

It simply means att will stop selling Tilt after December 2008.
An att rep I talked with when I called to ask about the Fuze (aka Touch PRO) whom was confirmed this info, too. You can also go to Raphael box in this board and search for Fuze.

OK, noob question....
Is a PUK code the "unlock code" we are talking about here?
The PUK Code for AT&T Customers is available from the AT&T website. Seems like if this is the code, it saves a lot phone calls and pain to just go to the website and get the code.
If this is the code you need to unlock the phone, then I'll post instructions to get to the proper page on the AT&T site.

Nope. A PUK code is required when your SIM card becomes blocked on the network. The most common cause of this is someone activating a PIN code on their SIM, and then either forgetting the code, or entering it incorrectly 3 times. The SIM is then locked (for security purposes) and AT&T will give you a PUK code to unlock it once they verify you are the account holder.
do a search you can unlock it here online by dowloading and flashing a couple things

U have to use the unlock code from Verizon, if the device ever activate it on Verizon. none will work if U use the code from third-party unlock service. third-party code will work on device that never been on contract with Verizon

Contact with Verizon will be a small problem. I'm from Poland. That verizon has a contact email?
U can only contact them by phone..There's Verizon global support calling card with guide in the DROID3 Box, U can call them for free. just dial the number listed on the paper, then ask for unlock code. if U never been a verizon customer then that will be a problem..U will have to wait until someone found a way to unlock or try another third party service again..

Edit
I bought unlocking code but unfortunately it does not work. Probably the code meter was locked. Is there a possibility to reset it?

[Q] Is your atrix unlocked? if so how did you do it?

I want to unlock my atrix hd (at&t) to a different carrier,is yours unlocked? if so how did you do it? unlock code? some other method without using unlock code? how much did you buy the unlock code for? o;
You have to buy a code as there is no way to unlock the AHD for free. In order to enter the code, you need to be on a pure stock or close-to-pure stock rom in order to enter the unlock code.
If you're an AT&T customer, they may give you the code for free.

Ok thank you, i will probably buy an unlock code, and use stock rom,does it stay unlocked forever?
Just google your carrier and request unlock. I know At&t has an online request form to unlock the carrier . As long as you meet the requirements there is no charge for this service. Thirty minutes after submitting the request At&t sent me the unlock code. T-mobile I'd imagine would do the same.
As for your other question, I am curious too. I just reverted my phone back to stock At&t. Got to find someone with a non At&t SIM to see if my phone is still carrier unlocked. I say it is.
The phone will be unlocked forever. I have never seen or read a post where a phone became carrier locked after being unlocked by entering a code.
If you purchased a used phone, put in a non-ATT sim after reverting to a stock rom to make sure you receive a prompt to enter your network unlock code. If you are on stock and don't the prompt, the phone maybe be hard locked to ATT and there is very little an end user can do to unlock the phone.
bought it on ebay... better pay with then than some random website with your CC info.
I haven't used this service but I've seen it referenced several times here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...3&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123#ht_668wt_1121
What's interesting is that the MB886 isn't listed as one of the phones, yet people say it has worked.
I will try that, feel much safer then random website that I don't know if they are safe.

I purchased this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221338036489 and the seller sended me the unlock code within a couple of hours. Also you can use gsmliberty.net. They are a very trusted site and works.

SIM Unlock?

Can't seem to find it here, is there a way to SIm Unlock a T-Mobile Note 8 without paying some service to do it?
Thanks.

Pretty sure your carrier will do it, although they may have some specific terms that have to be met (e.g. account in good standing, etc.). Otherwise I don't know of any way to unlock without going through a service like you mentioned.

Just call T-Mobile and tell them you're going out of the Country and need a sim unlock because you're planning to use a sim card from another "Country" and then after you get it just stick a different carrier sim card in the phone and it'll ask for the code.

T-mobile doesn't use codes on recent Samsung phones. There is a Device Unlock app on their firmware that will unlock the phone after their server whitelists you and you then request the unlock inside the app.

Thanks for that info I'll remember that I don't have T-Mobile so I didn't know that.
