Is there a way to do this free?The device is T-mobile Wing!
if u r with t-mobile plan then call them and ask for a free code
I am not using their plan.
if you brought it from some1 with t-mobile plan contact them and ask if they can do it for you or get one of your friends to do it if they have t-mobile plan.
other wise if you brought it directly from their company(t-mobile) you can call them and ask them about it. if they ask you did you brought it full price just tell them yes

Called AA&T today and requested sim unlock code for upcoming trip abroad. I was told no problem, phone rep filled out a request on her end and said it would be emailed to me by Oct. 15th. I bought the Tilt yesterday outright, no upgrade or contract extension. Hope this is useful.
Any cost?
How much did you pay? I am looking to buy one straight up with no contract and ATT won't tell me how much it is! Some crap about how "they dont price the phone until it is out."

It's $550 with no contract.
$550.00 plus tax. It shows up on their consumer page now. I love this phone !!! Dumped the stock rom and went HTC. Much better !!!
Hmm...
For $550, I might just pay alittle more for real HTC Kaiser... They are arouind $670. By the way, My Tile is on the way, how does it look? AT&T website did not really showing the photo of it...

There is no cost to get an unlock code from AT&T for any of their phones. The only thing you do need is to have the international plan on your phone. The plan is an add-on service costing about $5-$10 per month and it does NOT require a contract.
So, call AT&T, tell them you will be travelling internationally soon, and ask them to add the int'l dial plan to your service. THen tell them, you will be there for a while and will use a local company SIM for a period of time which will require yo to get an unlock code for your phone. THey will give you one, which will unlock your phone FOR GOOD. Then, you can go online to the account mgr and remove the option from your service. You willonly be charged a pro-rated amount and your phone will still be unlocked forever.
I did this with my 8525 before I bought the unlocked Kaiser a month ago. And it took all of 10 minutes on the phone with AT&T Sales/Service to get it done. This is only for SIM unlock (which lets you use any SIM). It does not CID unlock which lets you flash a different ROM on it.
Fellow XDA-devs,
When I was in US for work I bought myself a T-mobile G1 and used the TM plan of my employer for use in the US. When I moved back (quit my job in an unhappy way), I had an ex-colleague sim unlock my phone via his account number through T-mobile customer support.
After one month the device wouldn't read my Belgian Mobistar SIM-card, and I even tried other providers including T-mobile in the Netherlands.
It took me about 4 months to get the my T-mobile G1 repaired.
Because it's a T-mobile simlocked device and an US device every European repair center denied the repair.
Check this forum post at the Official HTC community forums for more info about the first part of this adventure. Still unanswered
hxxp://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/40/t/808.aspx (replace the x's, new forum users can't post urls. Sry mods/admins for the extra work )
The device finally got board swapped when repaired at HTC USA. (Big tnx)
Now that I have my device back it's again SIM locked to T-mobile US and because it's another IMEI code my old unlock code doesn't work anymore.
Since I got back I ain't a T-mobile customer anymore and my ex-colleague also quit I can't get the sim-unlock code.
But to get the code from T-mobile I just need a willing person to provide me with the permission to unlock my phone via his/her account.
Anyone willing to help, please?

Simple. http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com/
I haven't tried it but it should work.
Already tried several services.
None can provide the code.
All you need to do is provide a Tmobile customer with your phones IMEI. They can contact customer care with that and request the unlock code to be emailed to themselves and then after receiving said email can PM you the information on here. That way you have nothing to do with their account.
The reason I'm posting this is because your wording made it sound like you wanted someone to allow YOU to call in on their account.

Just PM me and I'll see what I can do.
Thought you guys might like to know this, i did it for free on my hd2 from O2 uk.
Fill the form out and sazam free unlock code in afew days.
http://service.o2.co.uk/IQ/SRVS/CGI...0000002826929629,K=6494,Sxi=8,Case=obj(14790)
Are O2 unlocking them? I thought they werent due too exclusivity. Same with my Dell Streak, I had to use a Rebel SimCard
Sorry to spoil the fun but I just read on that page...
If you're a Pay Monthly customer then you can request for your handset to be unlocked at any time, free of charge. The only exception are handsets which are exclusive to O2

And from all the press releases bombarded at us, we know that the HTC HD7 is (in the UK) an O2 Exclusive handset
It works. I filled out the form about an hour ago and just got the unlock code e-mailed to me. Tested with a Vodafone sim and it works.
My imei code is 17 digit but the form only accepts 15, What do I do.
Just use the first 15 digits.
Alright, thanks.
I just got my unlock code and all works
Has anyone tried this with a PAYG phone but selecting the word contract in the form instead?

No I didn't mean that. I meant has someone bought a PAYG HD7 then went to the O2 online form and pretend you bought a contract phone in order to try and cheat to see if they would still send an unlock code?
i also got a pay-n-go phone, but put my simplicity contract sim in

Whatch this space and I'll report back. I have a 30-day simplicity plan =and brought my phone on PAYG (the new name for buying outright from O2). I have put my request in against my Simplicity mobile number, I am expecting them to honour it under Simplicity so will report back.
I would like to update from my previous post to say I've officially eaten my hat.
As information for others out there, I am on a Sim Only Simplicity price plan and bought my HD7 on PAYG. I filled out the form using my simplicity account information and lo and behold, the following day I got my unlock code. And yes, I tested it and it works.
I have no intention of moving away from O2 at the moment as I signed up during the unlimited data times before they added a cap as well as treating me well, but it's nice to know the option is there later down the line in case.
I guess you chose pay monthly in the choose account option right? I have been on simplicity for around 15 months now so I guess I qualify for unlock as I pay monthly too, even though on simplicity and even though a PAYG handset?
My understanding is that it is an european legal requirement that if you want to use it on another carrier you can (you bought it, you are allowed to use it as you see fit etc.).
However you are still bound to your contract...
Gordon.
I was thinking of getting this device and getting it on PAYG.
Personally I don't really think any other network can offer as good deal for PAYG anyway
Is it possible to buy an HD7 in USA without being sim locked to a carrier and contract?
I planning to buy it when I came there, but need this info, please.
Thanks in advance.

In the USA, the only place that sells the HD7 is T-Mobile and it is SIM locked to T-Mobile.
You can though, but it full price without a contract from T-Mobile, and that'll net you around $500.
600.00 and if you buy it off contract I'm pretty sure t-mobile will give you the unlock code but I might be wrong and you might have to use a 3rd party site.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HTC+-+H...skuId=1495036&st=hd7&cp=1&lp=1&contract_desc=
Thanks, even if it costs $600, it will be cheaper in almost $200. If I can, I'll buy it.
Thanks again.
Jota
You can actually buy it on Amazon for $500, no tax or shipping fees, if you are in the US.

Click the Phone Only option, and there you go.
If you are coming to Toronto I'll sell you mine! I love the phone but I have to live on Edge since T-Mobile and FIDO are different Bands. I cannot get 3G with Fido network with the T-Mobile phone. Willing to sell the phone and then wait for WP7 and HTC HD7 that I can get 3G service with. It's unlocked so should work with any carrier. Just make sure you can get highest speed data back in your home land. PM me if you are heading this way.
So what's the procedure for unlocking the unsubsidised phone? Is it unlocked right out the box or would I have to call T-mobile?
I bought one through tmobile. I called them and 24 hours later they sent me the unlock code. via email. They told me it may take 8 days to get it but I got it the next day

Do you have an account with them / a contract?
Greetings to you all, gurus of the mobile universe.
I just bought a T-Mobile G1 from a friend and it is locked. I bought a code from a guy on ebay and it doesn't work, so he refunded the money.
I still want to unlock it but I don't know anyone who is a Tmo customer (all Sprint in my neck 'o the woods). Is there anyone here willing to file an unlock request for me?
Thanks for help and no thanks for flames.
Cancel this request, as I got impatient and paid a local shop $20 to unlock it for me.
Can just call t-mobile say its an old phone and going out of the country and need unlock code. Dont even need an account with them they ask for a number and give you the code. free
Totally not true.
I tried that route when I bought my Touch Pro II and they flat-out refused to give me a code unless I had been a paying customer for 90 days. I went round and round with the guy on the phone for an hour, talking to two supervisors and they wouldn't budge.
If you aren't a 90+day customer, TMo WILL NOT give you a code.
