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.

It only took like 30 minutes or so it cost me $50/-, but I would recomend getting the SIM (GSM) side of the imagio unlocked first, and the only way to do that is to have your/ imagio activated on the verizon wireless network first and having it on there for at least 2 months, then call verizon wireless globel number which is001-800-922-0204or 001-908-559-4899 if your out side the United States Of America and have them give you the unlock code, or have somebody whos been with verizon for years and has paid there bill on time for the past two month switch there line on to your imagio and then call the vzw globel number and have them give you the unlock code, i wish i had done this before having my imagio flashed to cricket if i want to do it now i' have to get verizon for at least two months before they give me the hnlock code or know some one who has verizon, and then have my imagio flashed to cricket if i want to get it on cricket, , ive already paid 330 for the imagio and another 90 to get it flashed nkw im finding i cant ever use an other sim card unless i have my imagio unlocked, i bust wish i knew this before,
good luck i hope this helps, oh i think once you have paid the full price and own the imagio l without a contract verizon should allow you to have the basic plan for 30 a month with isnt bad... think about it

I have a friend who works at cricket, he tried my imagio but said the esn # was not in the system in my local area? If ur were successfull in getting urs flashed and switched to cricket, please let me know what city u live in or a way for me to get it flashed. This is the only reason i bought the imagio.
BTW mine is already unlocked, currenlty using with ATT.

dayton ohio, how did you unlock your imagio? the cricket people cant help you, you need to go to a cricket non franchise shop who flash phones and have sell other phones besides cricket...

I got mine unlocked from a seller on eBay. cost me $13 bucks. What's a non cricket store? Best Buy? In some cities, Cricket doesn't require you to buy a phone from them in order to get service, u can bring ur own. This the kind of city i'm seraching for. Hopefully they can give me the instructions over the phone and i can activate myself. Get service from that city and after a month get a local number.

the phone is SIM unlocked; you can use on any GSM carrier.

Refrase...
okay im talking about the bootloader which i had to unlock then i rooted the phone now with cyanogen mod mix rom....so i have this tracphone with a sim card but seems to be a prepaid phone of some sort now when i put in the sim card to the nexus one it does not even read it??? is it due to a prepaid sim card or can i really use other carrier sims card but with plans and such.... please help! thanks!!!

I'm almost positive that you should be able to pop in any sim card, pre- or post-paid, and it should work...

i just tested it with a nextel chip with a plan but no data service and i still get no bars??? i will try to put up some pics....please help if ya can...thanks

As far as I know Nextel doesn't use GSM networks it has it's own iDEN network, I don't know what the difference is, or if it should work with a GSM receiver but I can't say I'm surprised it doesn't work. Also from what I've heard, the phone has only received FCC certifications on T-Mob and AT&T for the phone you have, Verizon passed separately. Again, don't know if this helps, but I'm not shocked it doesn't work. Your phone is carrier unlocked, it came that way from HTC and unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with which carriers it will work with.

no all i did was i bought it on a tmobile network through google then i had unlock the bootloader then rooted the phone now is there a way to use differ carriers??? i did not buy it unlocked......from google.....so is there a way ?

Dude... your question is moot! The phone, even if bought on a T-mobile line, IS NOT LOCKED TO ANY SPECIFIC CARRIER! You can pop in ANY GSM SIM CARD, and it will work. I bought mine on a T-mobile upgrade... but I can throw in an AT&T, Rogers, Fido, Vodaphone, etc., SIM, and it will work just fine.

o okay will try it out with att thanks...

[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.

HTC incredible S not working on bell network, good on rogers, mobilicity ?

I have this HTC incredible s from T-mobile which has all the frequencies. In the past we never had any problem, we unlocked it and were able to use it on any canadian network including wind and mobilicity. For some reason after unlocking ( code unlocking) its not working on bell. I never got chance to try telus which is also 3g network. I have tried it already on rogers , mobilicity, Fido but bell.
Please help

My HTC Incredible S worked perfectly fine on Bell network. I suspect that something is wrong with your SIM card? You could also try bringing it to Bell. Or you can try purchasing another SIM card from the Source or something for like $5 and see if it works.
Also, just because something is from T-Mobile doesn't mean it has all the frequencies....

Bell and Telus share networks (along with their subsidiaries) out west, not sure in the east. It could have something to do with your service provider and their roaming agreements.
When I travel south to Washington from BC, my Virgin (Bell) phone roams to Verizon.

Go to Bell Store.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I'm with Bell (a 3yr contract, urgh...) and my Inc S works just fine on Bell's network (stock GB/ICS ROM, and szeszo's various ROMs). So yeah, definitely check your SIM card...
