How to unlock HTC Imagio for AT&T

Hello Folks,
I need help! can anyone plz guide me on how to unlock HTC Imagio for AT&T or anyother GSM network?
P.S- Im not verizon customer

If you are a Verizon customer just call global support and tell them you are going overseas or out of the country and need to unlock your SIM. They will give you a code to enter. Go to settings, all settings, security, enter the code then you can use any SIM from any provider.
It is really that simple.

Hmmm CDMA phone will work in GSM network?
EDIT: I guess it does! Thats neat...

The Imagio is a "Global Phone" meaning it has both a SIM and does both CDMA and GSM. I have already used mine in Lebanon by using a local provider's SIM lent to me by a relative. Because of the way over-hyped and over-rated Droid the Imagio seems to have been passed by, but it truly is an incredible device.

I would say you are out of luck. You can try the pay service listed below, but most are dubious at best. Why would you have a Verizon phone but not be a Verizon customer? Unless you purchased it unlocked, it would be pretty useless.
You could try putting a SIM card from another carrier in it and see if it works.

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.

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?

[Q] Unlocking tmobile usa HD7 a sure thing?

Hey guys I've asked this in some thread before but never got an answer. I live in Canada and was thinking of telling my friend who's in the US right now to get me a contract free HD7 from tmobile so I can unlock it and then use it here. So I just want to know if it's a 100% sure thing that the phone can be unlocked before I buy it since I won't be able to return it in case it can't be unlocked. I don't want to end up with a 500$ paperweight since I've read that some people couldn't unlock theirs.
Because if it's not a sure thing, I guess I'll be getting the optimus 7..
Thanks!

T-Mobile will give the unlock codes after you've been a customer for a certain period of time. The length of that period and what happens to it when you've bought the phone at the unsubsidized price are somewhat variable and honestly I would not rely on this happening if you are not a T-Mobile customer.
However www.htcimeiunlock.com will probably be able to unlock the phone; I personally unlocked an HD7 in 15 minutes with their service. Bring a laptop or something and check the IMEI right in the TMOUS store before completing the purchase -- the site will tell you definitively whether it has the code for your specific device.

Like I said I'm not personally going there. My not-so-tech-savvy friend is so I can't ask him to do that. But do u think that eventually after a certain period of time that ALL htc phones' unlock codes will be available or are some just never unlockable?

It's almost certain that it will be available now. And if not, it will be soon enough. I wouldn't worry about it. Worst case scenario is that you have your not so tech savvy friend call tmobile and get the code for you. It shouldn't even come to that though.

I am having trouble getting my HD7 unlocked. I tried www.htcimeiunlock.com and it does not recognize my IMEI. I'm trying to get it unlocked at a different website and they have to contact HTC directly to get the unlock code.

Hi...
I bought one from T-mobile and he told me after 45 days I can call him to give me the unlock code.... But I couldn't wait and I used this website cellunlocker.net to unlock my device and it's working without any problem....Thanks!!!

I also ordered an unlock from Cellunlock.net last week.. Still waiting on a code for my HD7. Apparently HTC is way behind on providing codes to the unlockers for newer batches of phones. Getting annoyed either way, I have this HD7 in Toronto that I can't use.

It's a sure thing as I am using a T-Mobile HTC HD7 on FIDO, so the phone is unlocked. I'll sell you mine if you are in Toronto. T-Mobile phones are different band so you can only get Edge data through it. Kind of sucks if you are use to 3G speed. If you are going to use the phone on Wind then it's same band and you will get high speed data. Anyway it is possible to unlock - I've been using the phone on FIDO for almost 3 weeks now.

I have used www.cellunlocker.net to successfully unlock two of my HD7's. Codes came via email within 30 mins, both times.

[Q] Unlocked Rogers Captivate with AT&T Sim "No Service" issue

Hello Everyone,
I've done a bit of searching but still can't find out if i'm having an issue or if this is the way it's suppose to work. This is my first experience with an Unlocked phone as well as Android. So here's the story.
I rooted my phone and then used the Unlock Pro to unlock it. I ordered an AT&T Sim card from Ebay, which arrived last week. I put the Sim card in my phone and it boots up, everything seems fine except that it says "No Service". I contacted AT&T and they confirmed that the Sim is active and it should be working.
To make sure that my phone was unlocked. I used the program to lock it again "with the rogers SIM in it" and then put in the AT&T sim and I was asked for an Unlock Code. So I took that to mean that it was properly unlocked. So I unlocked it again, and then put the Sim in but still "No Service".
I tried to put in the APN settings that I found on a site, but not sure if they are correct. and now i'm at a loss. I had purchased this for an upcoming trip to the states, but don't want to put any money on the account if it's not going to work.
I guess my first question is this "Should a new sim work out of the box?" i.e. should I be able to put in and get service even though I would be roaming in Canada?? Or do I have to be in the states first before it will work and allow me to roam in canada?
Any help you guys can provide or explaination on how it "should" work, would be great.

Well....does att provide service in canada? I don't know if rogers is part of att or not. If they don't I would assume the sim would not work because of no att towers?

Thanks for getting back to me. Rogers is not part of AT&T but they use the same GSM Frequency. So anyone travelling up here on AT&T would use the rogers towers (I believe).
That's why I'm thinking I need to be in the states before the SIM will work.

I would call att back and ask them if the case. Makes sense to me, but I'm nobody.

actually Rogers is owned by att. it is AT&T rogers wireless~!
but that does not mean that it should work.
APN settings are for data, you should still be able to make calls...

LOLOL cute
Ya i think I will do that tonight. When I was talking to them last time, the woman didn't really understand why i couldn't connect. but then again i don't think she really understood that I was in canada. LOL

Canada has the internet? Lol

Wow I'm still running with my 9800 Baud modem. Saving up for a 14.4.

Bing bong biiiiiiiing.....ahhhh the soothing sounds of dialup....those were the days.

I just tried the SIM again, seeing if maybe after a week it might just work now but ya no luck. you never know it could happen. LOLOL I'm wondering if I need to get a roaming package added to the Go Phone plan that i'm on before it will work. Gonna call customer support and find out
Since this is my first time with anything like this I'm not really sure about anything LOL

Okay so I just called at&t customer support. Didn't start off so well. First the guy told me that don't offer any service nor can any AT&T customer roam in canada. then he placed me on hold when I asked him to confirm, and he came back saying that AT&T doesn't off roaming in canada on their pay as you go phones. So i guess I can believe that one
Looks like i'll have to put some money on the sim and then hope it works when I go down there, Thanks everyone for all your help and suggestions.

[Q] Possible to buy T-Mobile Note 4 outright and bring to AT&T MVNO?

Hey guys, been doing some digging and haven't found anything conclusive so I was wondering if you all could help me out. I would like to buy a Note 4 if and only if a few certain conditions are met and I'm trying to figure out how to accomplish that.
1) I'm really loving how far Samsung has come with toning down TouchWiz, but I still would want root to remove bloatware, install some xposed modules, etc. So far the AT&T variant has no root capability.
2) Having an unlocked bootloader is not a must, but it is a plus. I actually don't want to give up some of the OEM Note features.
3) I have absolutely zero T-Mobile service where I live, so AT&T or their MVNOs are really my only option for a GSM phone
4) 4G LTE is a must
so-
I was wondering if it would be possible to buy a Note 4 from T-Mobile outright (online preferably), get it carrier unlocked and bring it over to an AT&T MVNO?
I don't see anything listing the difference in bands between the AT&T and T-Mobile variant and I don't see any requirements about needed to stay on a T-Mobile plan for a certain amount of time before unlocking, just that the phone has to be completely paid for. Also I can't seem to find the full price for a T-Mobile Note 4.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
Edit: Sorry I posted this to the wrong forum! Trying to find a way to move/delete it!

I believe the full price is $760.
T-Mobile will only provide the unlock after 2 months consecutive service, so you'll need/want to pay for an online unlock service if you want the code immediately....be sure to make a 5 minute or more call with a t-mobile sim (try to borrow a friends or co-worker) before requesting the unlock code from an online unlock service. That is necessary due to Samsung's region lock, the phone needs to "authenticate" that it is being activated in the correct market....you can google and get a clearer meaning of what I'm talking about.

Hmm it looks like the region "authentication" may be a bit of an issue as I know no one with a T-Mobile sim. Again, I live far away from any T-Mobile service but I am planning a trip to an area they service next month. But even if I was to find a friend with T-Mobile I know nothing about online unlock services. I'm guessing you give them your IMEI number and pay a fee and they give you an available code. Now by the look of the websites I'm seeing, this looks to be a little shady (which I could be ok with) but I don't seem to see any indications of what kind of prices I'd be looking at.
Would you happen to recommend a website in particular or know of the cost? Or is this something XDA doesn't want people posting about? Forgive me if what I'm asking is not allowed.

so get sim for $10 and buy $2 a day prepaid plan.

I used cellunlocker.net to unlock 2 S5's, I think they state it takes up to 12 hours or something, but they had my code in about 22 minutes. I have no experience with other unlock services but there are some that sound horrible, I recommend cellunlocker personally.
I think I paid about $34.99 per device, everything worked without a hitch

What this guy said. You don't need to do two months of service. cellunlocker.net is where you want to go.

Is there a risk of T-Mobile blacklisting your handset if you unlock via a third-party or is that FUD? I just picked up my Note 4 today, I haven't activated service yet. I haven't even popped the SIM in. What would they do if I never did? I just want to pay for it and go back to dirt-cheap prepaid.

I have never heard of such a thing.

@unpocolobo Im an AT&T costumer for my Note 4 on 2 year contract which came out 100$ sold it same day for $700 and got a friend to buy me T-mobile one for $750 plus tax so about $800 so personally i spent $200 on phone and then got unlock code from http://www.cellunlocker.net/ only $30 came in under 20 mins. Also i never used the T-mobile sim on my phone so im guessing there is no region lock on them

Correct me if I'm wrong, but TM uses 1700MHz whereas AT&T uses 1900MHz?
At any rate, I hope it all works out....you'll love the N4. :good:

They won't blacklist it if u paid it off. They have no reason to

T-Mobile will not blacklist fully paid devices, unless it's reported stolen of course.
