Don't quote me on this, and really, I probably shouldn't even say anything, but as far as I know, each unlock code is different. One that works for somebody's phone isn't going to work for another. That's my understand of it.
Each phone's unlock code depends on the phone's IMEI code, which is different for every phone, even if they are the same model.
This is your code:
4

Dude, that was not helpful and was not funny in any way.
I read an article that it is a law that customers can unlock a phone from a carrier if they want too. Just ask T-Mobile again and explain your situation.

Hi Ya
Pls help me looking everywhere desperately for an unlock code for my G1
My uncle bought me a G1 in England and i live in Greece..... So i really need an unlock code....
If someone could help me giving me my unlock code i would be very very happy.
BTW i will PM my IMEI to the one who can find it for me...
Or if nobody can find anything can someone tell me when the will be a program coming out to unlock the G1 like they did for the Iphone ....
Hello there,
This isn't the answer you're probably looking for, but you'd need to get back in contact with T-Mobile UK. As they will be the only ones that hold the unlocking code for you. Root'ing will not be able to unlock you're phone so there is no program for this. Not to sure how much unlocking codes cost from t-mobile, there is no information on the website. You could try and call +44 79539 66 150 which is the roaming number (it'll put you to the front of the queue and you can ask an agent there)
Hope this helps!
Hi again
Thanx a lot for trying to help me. I will phone them monday at 12 o'clock (greek time) ....

Not to sure what the time difference is, we're BST at the mo so thats GMT+1. Opening hours are 8am till 9pm.
Hope they can provide you with your code!
Ye ok thanx ...
Any ideas what i should say ???
I phoned T-mobile US and they say with out a T-mobile account number i can't do anything... Is that true ???
I really want to try my G1
T-mobile is not necessary, it's just the free way if you are already with t-mobile. There are several 3rd party websites which can aquire an unlock code for you. Most guarentee you a code almost instantly, my understanding is htc charges them $10 and they in turn charge you $20, thereby earning $10 for a simple email/money transfer to htc. Afaik some company needs to contact htc for you, I don't think you can deal directly with htc tho that would be nice. Unfortunately I can't really recommend anyone to go thru as I've done all my unlocking thru t-mobile.
Edit: also if you know someone with t-mobile every 90 days t-mobile will unlock a phone for them. The phone doesn't have to be registered to their account just tied to t-mobile. As a matter of fact to actually unlock the dream you must put in a non-tmo sim. Your 'friend' may need to tell t-mo they intend to leave the country or something, your friend may also require a few bux for the trouble lol
Yeah usually just stating that you plan to use the mobile abroad is sufficient enough for them to hand over the code. If not then keep pressing for it and hopefully they will get a manager or someone higher to deal with the issue. The joys of support
I know in the UK certain vendors (Vodafone) offer all of their phones unlocked to begin with but I don't know what it's like in the states.
Hi guys
This morning i phoned T-mobile uk with NPerry number. LOL it was funny i waited like 10 min. Then someone finally answered but he couldn't hear what i was saying (i was on skype) so i lost 2 euros calling and i didn't have what i wanted....
So i decided to buy an unlock code. So pls tell me which site is the best and most secure ???? www.htccode.com ? (looks like it doesn't word anymore it says "This Account Has Been Suspended" ow well) what else http://www.modmygphone.com/ ???
pls anwer
And BTW thanx for the others that answered me before

Call T-Mobile. Make sure you meet the requirements first, or talk your way into them giving it to you.

Hi evilkorn
thanks for replying how do i do that and they are gona charge me some ££ right?
but i want to do it myself and free just like windows mobile there is an unlock tool for it and iphone there is a programe for that iswell to unlock and jailbreak it something like this?
i wish i never bought G1 Grrrrrrrrr there is no cool apps like iphone for it or cant be unlocked easily wish i bought an iphone.
No, T-Mobile shouldn't charge you for the unlock unless you meet the requirements and you can't expect all phones to have an unlock tool. Also, if you were just in it for the app then you should've just searched for good apps before buying the phone.
After 90 days in contract, they will give you the unlock code for any phone.
How to et free code unlock?I log in thi site but price is 20$.
http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com/EN/order.php
Read my response, you have to call t-mobile after 90 days on contract for them to give it to you for free.
There are no tools, pay an unlocking service or call them to get it free. That is it.
Hi
I was wondering if someone from over the pond can help me. I have 2 G1 locked to T-mobile uk. And can't get the unlock codes to use other sims in them.
So was hoping that someone would be kind enough to help out, with getting the codes.
As I heard that T-mobile usa and others can get them easier.
Edit: sorry if this is the wrong place or wrong thing to ask. Will delet if asked.
Thank you

Just trying to unlock my US T-Mobile G1, I had two different unlocking services report back to me that they couldn't provide a code for my IMEI. Someone sent me a link to this ebay seller:
http://myworld.ebay.com/blowfish06
And this guy got me a code that worked, in just a couple of minutes.

Thank you. But I will pass on that one. As I heard that other T-mobile users. Not the uk ones thoe for some reason can get them for free from there service providers. Not sure if this is still the case thoe.
Ethereal24
can somebody point to another trusted website? ive already lost 24 dollars... sad
so no one has any idea then. i thought the other t-mobile carriers other than uk. could get imei unlock codes without paying if thay have been with them for some time.
cheers

I personally would only use an eBay seller for unlock codes. There is a bit of a safety net with both the feedback system, as well as filing a dispute through eBay or Paypal.
Hi, I have a rooted G1, I was wondering if there was a way to unlock it so it can work with other networks. If not please just say no, I don't want people flaming me lol.
Yes, the phone can be unlocked regardless of root.
When you put a different SIM in the phone will ask for an unlock code. Both methods require you handing over your IMEI located under the battery of the phone.
If you've been a tmo customer for longer than 90 days phone them and say you're going to another country, they will give you the code.
If not, you'll need to buy an unlock code, it will cost around £10/$17. You give them your IMEI and they send you the code.

That hasn't been achieved yet, supposedly the SIM lock goes deeper than the SPL... or something
There is an alternative.

I haven't tried it myself but I hear that it works just fine.
Worth a shot.
Hello
I apologize if my English is not good, but try to explain my problem
A few days ago I buy a Motorola Droid 3 on Ebay.
my seller said that Verizon is not blocked.
I received a phone but it asks for unlock code.
I know it's wrong that I bought on Ebay, but in Europe you can not found this, end I want this item and lot.
in this case how to get unlock code?
and I tried ebay, but all gave me the same code 72555264
last option would be to find someone who is subscribed to Verizon, and ask the code
If anyone is willing pay $ 50
Seem scary to me as I am having mine sent to me a few day. Hopefully you can get it unlocked very soon. Let me know who can do it for you.
no one wants to help me
There has been people saying that Verizon blocked SIM unlock, or at least changed the code with a recent update. You'll have to try one of those Unlocking Sim cards

PM your email address, I may help you get the unlock code from Verizon.
Let us now if you find a solution.
Not sure, but I think you need to have the phone active on a verizon account when you get the unlock code, so it will work on your phone. The line you use to get the code will need to be in good standing for approximately six months before they'll hand over the code, just fyi.

You'll need to find someone who has a line on Verizon who is willing to help you. Otherwise, you're out of luck.
I know
but I hope that in a later, someone will help me, and not free
Hi again! Finally I found someone, Verizon subscribed. He gave to them all the details of the phone and they send the unlock code. But, surprise! It s not work!! What to do now! It s possible something like this ?? There are two kind of codes or other things that I dont know?? Please, if you know some other informations...help me!
The phone may need to be activated on that line because the phone needs to communicate with Verizon using the unlock code to prompt them to actually unlock it on their end. I recently unlocked one of my T-Mobile phones which I gave to a family member to use on AT&T, and this was the case. It's just another step they can perform over the phone using your info. If you can skype or Google Talk with your friend while they call Verizon, they can tell him any steps he must take with the phone to activate it on his line, then he'll message/tell you what to do. Then once activated, enter the unlock code and it should work. After it is successfully unlocked, he can go ahead and change back to his phone on his account by activating it the same way.
Kinda sucks to have to do this, but I think that is your best bet.
I tried, but without any result. It seems that my friend gave me not the correct code, and now no longer respond. in this case I'll donate it, because it not stand to see him. but maybe there is someone enthusiastic to help.
The only alternative is to use TurboSim. It is cheap, but has some limitations.
