Sim unlock !!

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.

I used this sevice 2 days ago.
http://unlock-now.com/
They returned my unlock code in 13 minutes, the cost was very reasonable and I cannot fault therm.

Hi guys,
I want just to ask which variant of HD2 you chose on this web site. There are several variant and i don't know if i must choose htc hd2 t8585 or htc hd2 (leo) or t-mobile htc hd2. Help please. I have htc hd2 t mobile locked
Thanks

npharmacy- $27 USD to unlock your phone, not bad! Heres the link: http://leo.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-T-Mobile-HTC-HD2/

just search on ebay
I solved this problem for 7 pounds

If you have T-Mobile USA, just call them and tell them you are visiting family overseas, need to unlock it to not get killed with Roaming charges (want to put in a local sim when you get there)... they will e-mail one to you within 24-48 hours... best part is it's FREE!

I did teh same with T-Mobile UK and got it free also. I am a business customer I don't know if that makes a difference

Here in NYC its a 14 day period for new accounts or upgraded ones, to get the free unlock code

If you are in Uk, not a business customer and had the contract for more than a month it will cost you £15 and takes about 3/4 days

Yup- TMo wanted 14 days but I used htccode.com and one of the other guys used htc-unlocker.org
http://www.fuzemobility.com/300-off-contract-unlocked-hd2-update/
both worked for about the same price

I got the unloack code from htc-unlocker.org and it worked like a charm, paid almost $ 38 USD, as the new HD2 have some restricted codes unavailable from other sites, I did try a couple of others which were offering the code for as low as 15-20 USD but they didnt work, so ended up paying premium amount, but I can use my phone now.

Need Help
After we unlock the phone
can we use it on att network & do Tethering ?
how do we get the Att Tele nav on it ? will it work ?
Please Help
Thanks

best frikin answer thanks man

thru ebay, cheap and fast

bought my unlock code on ebay for £6 (T-mobile)
worked in seconds !

If this is for T-Mobile USA:
simply search for "HTC HD2 T-Mobile unlock code" on ebay. I unlocked mine for US$8 i think. When ordering, you have an option to type in a message to the seller. Type in the Carrier name (e.g. Tmobile USA) and the IMEI number, which you can find on the phone settings software or behind the battery.
It's a very simple process and I received my code by email within a couple of hours following payment.

I did the search, but can't find anyone to send it via email. They state it will be sent via postal mail in compliance with ebay's policy.

FREE Unlock for O2UK contract customers

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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

Sim free hd7?

Hi, does anyone know when the hd7 will be available to buy sim free in the UK? I got my hd2 from expansys last November and now I really want the hd7! I know I could get it on o2 and unlock it but I'm not so keen on that.
Thanks

No I dont think so, its exclusively available to O2 in the UK, Expansys dont show it as being available sim free either.

Strange decision to alienate potential new wp7 customers by restricting where and how you can get a hd7! Surely to make a new OS work make the flagship handset available to everyone!
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App

German O2 HD7 is afaik Lock free. Perhaps you can import it from there.

The real issue is that not only HD7, but there is not any WP7 SIM free handset available. I really don't like these slavery and expensive 2 years contracts, or full of bloatware locked PAYG devices. So I'm looking only for SIM free but no avail. I don’t mind the O2 “exclusivity” because prefer Omnia 7 than HD7. Unfortunately the only info for expected stock availability, which I’ve found, is for the end of Nov!

As far as I know the HD7 will not be available sim free until the exclusivity deal ends with O2, date not known for this.
Out of interest, I got the following deal from O2 last week by phoning retentions dept after being a contract customer with them for many years:
Simplicity 12 month @ £15 per month
included 300 anytime minutes, unlimited texts, 500mb data
Handset cost £330
For me this was a good deal and probably the cheapest method of getting a HD7 right now.
Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what M$ plan is. They copied Android and just flooded the market with too many phones. There is no flagship device, which is what boggles me the most.
I wouldnt be surprised if they come out with a Zune phone. From what I've heard the Zune HD was a solid piece of hardware; I don't see why they cant make a phone.
They may just be waiting for some of the kinks to be worked out of windows phone 7 and launch it when the OS really has some legs under it.

It's a joke all I want to do is spend my cash on the phone of my choice! I've been a fan of HTC Windows phones for years I choose to use a Vodafone 12 month sim only contract to get the best value, surely this is gonna piss people off!
Went to my local o2 store today and had a mess around with one, really impressed and they had 2 payg in stock soooo tempted! The only thing is it looks like people are having problems unlocking them and it voids the warranty which could be a real issue with a new phone.
Really don't know why they would want to stop people buying it sim free?!

To you this may sound bad, to other non geeky people (ie the type of people who wouldn't be on here) it's excellent.
I've lost count of the amount of people I know who have bought a HTC Desire just because they want a HTC and have no idea what Android is. "Fanboys" can be a great asset, apple has shown that and there are a load of HTC, Samsung fanboys around atm. People will buy phones like the HD7 just because it's made by HTC and has a nice big screen, not because it has windows phone, that's just a bonus or they may not even be aware of what windows phone 7 is.

I've ordered it at Expansys Belgium, maybe you could buy it there as it wouldn't take too long to ship.

I've had a good look on other sites selling the hd7 and I'm a bit uneasy about doing that, so I'm going to my local o2 store to buy one today and unlock it. 2 questions though:
Is it only online purchased hd7s that are struggling to be unlocked? I live in a small town and there are 2 payg in stock chances are they are from the first batch so might still unlock?
When I do unlock it will I still be able to receive official updates from Microsoft or will unlocking it void my phone?
Thanks

If its one of the earlier phones you should stand a good chance of unlocking it. Unlocking will not stop you from getting Microsoft updates.

Thanks for that, off up town now

I, also have no understanding why there is no option to have the device via a operator or to buy off line, why would I want to buy from o2?

Because in the UK it's exclusive to o2?

O2 probably paid for the exclusivity buy commeitting to xxx number of units, if your carrier hasn't got it, then complain to them for not giving the OEMs the cash. From some of the reports out their it looks like the industry wasn't backing this new OS and have been caught out by the demand.
I brought mine on PAYG on day 1 from O2 at £389 (uk pounds), sim free I think it will sell for at least £499 to £539). So O2 got exclusivity AND was able to knock a few pounds off for it's customers.
Got my unlock code from O2 over the weekend free of charge, will try it out tomorrow

I also bought mine for £389, on launch day (£379 + required £10 top up). I haven't even bothered taking the o2 sim out of its packaging.
Straight away I used a giffgaff sim that I had ordered (see giffgaff.com). I pay £10 a month for:
150 minutes,
unlimited texts,
unlimited data (with no fair use policy or cap),
No fixed term contract (I can walk away anytime, not that I'd want to at that price).
You can pay more for more minutes if needed.
The reason I can do this is because giffgaff are owned by Telefonica (who own o2) and runs on o2's network (much like how Tesco Mobile operates). Because of this I haven't needed to unlock my HD7.
Just last night I downloaded a game demo that claimed to be 81MB. I couldn't do that every night on pretty much any other operator as they have data caps.
Buying the phone on PAYG and using giffgaff is way cheaper than the £40x24month deal that o2 would like to lock you in to. I don't understand why more people don't do it this way.
The cheeky bit - if you'd like to sign up for giffgaff, send me a pm so I can get giffgaff to send you the sim. This way, we both get £5 free credit! I don't mean for this to be a spammy post, so sorry if it comes across that way. I just think this is a good alternative to getting the HD7 sim-free or unlocking it, and probably the cheapest way overall.

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
