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

buy a turbo sim mine works a treat you dont have to cut the sim card either

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.

Buying HD7 in the UK

Hi,
I can only find prices for the phone with a contract on mobiles.co.uk but these do not include any data plans and It has to be with O2 who are terrible with the 500mb data limit.
Does anyone know any other place to buy the phone with a contract?

Handtec is a good place to start, but they're not listing it yet, not even on contract.

It will be available from O2 on contract and on P&Go for £379.

Do you think I will be able to use my O2 simplicity sim on the PAYG HD7? I presume it will be locked to O2 too!

Yes, the phone is locked to O2.

What about using a GiffGaff sim as they are O2 so the sim will work.
They are great if you want to use a lot of data. I think it's free Internet until the end of December - and that's totally unlimited unlike the pathetic O2 500mb which Is pointless with a cloud based Windows 7 phone.

Any ideas how much O2 charge to officially unlock? I'm hoping there's no crappy O2 branding on the handset...

£15 pounds after 12 months on their network.

How about if you go PAYG - can you not just pay to get unlocked straight away?!

After 12 months.

deffo my next phone, im already due an upgrade from the hd2. cant wait to see it in store

just checked on mobiles.co.uk and it seems that they have updated their shiz
http://www.mobiles.co.uk/o2-htc-hd7.html
Tariff You'll get:
O2 900
(24 months)
900 mins Any
Network Anytime + Unlimited Texts
Monthly:
£35.00
Free Gift Selection:
9 months 1/2 price
or £50 Auto Cashback
or Free PlayStation Move
Phone cost:
Free

really hoping the costs for hd7 are correct on mobiles.co.uk because when i bought my hd2 the tarrif was completely different from what it had said online

And no unlimited or capped data in the mobiles.co.uk tariff? Fail!

I am on the Simplicity SIM only 30 day contract. Last yeah when I brought my Hd2 Outright (£379), I then had it unlocked for free by O2. Took 6 weeks to get the code but it didn't cost a thing.
I expect the same for the HD7.

It is really disappointing that this phone is only available on O2 with no enough data in the plan. Worse is to buy it pay as go and locked!
Will wait for it to be released somewhere else like expansys

You could just buy it and find have it unlocked somehow.

I am on simplicity too and intend to buy the PAYG version at 379.00 but not after having a play with it in store.

So did you ask for the unlock code during purchase or after 6 weeks. And do they send it through text or email.

Remember I am taslking about my HD2 last year. I ordered the unlock code the day after the phone arrived. It should have took 4 weeks for them to email it to me, but because it was over christmas it took longer.
I only needed the unlock code so I could use it whilst abroad on holiday.

If you got your Phone through O2 in the UK, just call them, they don't usually charge for unlocking. Tell them you need to put a work sim in it and it a different provider.

+1 for htcimeiunlock.com
On the site they let you put in your info including carrier, model, and IMEI. They then tell you if they have the unlock code, and if so and how much it costs and how long it will take.
In my case it said 15 minutes and $25. I paid with paypal and about 15 minutes later the unlock code arrived in email. The code worked and my phone is now unlocked.
I will use them in the future.

Worked for me
used the link above and it just worked (no issues, Just be sure you provide the correct IMEI or you may have a problem) use IMEI from the device not your box (I have seen issues where they do not always match).
Cheers
BR

I used the site above but it says it can't find a code when I input my IMEI.
Help please!!!

Will that website provide an unlock code for ANY hd7 that's locked to tmobile? because i'm thinking of getting one to canada and i wont be able to return it so i have to make sure that it can be unlocked!!

I bought mine from a nice guy through Kijiji in Toronto... HTC HD7 (T-Mobile branded) and he even had unlock code. If you post an ad there, I'm sure he'll respond. Make sure you put it in the "want to buy" section and make sure the subject line has HTC HD7 Unlock Code Wanted. It's the least I can do to send you to him as he was very fast and effecient and affordable.

I'll give that a try if cellunlock fails. How much was it and did he e-mail the code?

I used www.cellunlocker.net on both my HD7's. codes arrived in about 25-30 mins and only cost 19.99
-oh both are the tmobile branded, tested with other sim cards, and works.

The kijiji dude was $20 but I was also buying the phone from him. He gave me the code on paper. Try the other suggested website first.

I unlocked my HD7 with htcimeiunlock. The phone was locked to o2 Uk. They emailed me the code within 5 minutes!

are y'all that are having problems sure you are entering your imei code right?

O2 did the job in less than a day... FOR FREE...
I have bought my HD7 on PAYG - but I have a Simplicity 10 contract - as someone had suggested earlier - I have used that phone number when requesting the unlock code and in less than 24 hours they sent me the unlock code by email.

Yup, I doubled, tripled, and quadrupled checked.

I just bought a t-mobile branded HD7 from a store in California and have failed on both sites to get an unlock code. Keeps telling me the IMEI code is not recognized. This is a little worrying as I plan to be going back to the UK soon. Also frustrating as others on t mobile seem to have been having success.

Might be able to get it here:
http://www.unlockitnow.com/HTC/HD7.php
This is where i got mine, took about 3 hours to get the code from HTC (used HTC- Worldwide (New Codes))

maybe tmous is trying to keep the phone locked down. If you got in on contract I don't think tmous will give it to you till you have had the phone 60 days. You could call them and tell them you are going overseas on business so you need the sim unlocked for overseas use. That is what I did with my hd2 before I sold it.

Guess I'm the only one with an un-unlockable HD7 in the world. I tried 3 different legit unlock companies and all failed. I called HTC and they said the carrier locks it. I called T-Mobile and spent 2 hours on the phone discussing everything from having to get a temporary pay-as-you-go plan to having to wait 40 days for an unlock code. Now they say if I fax them the receipt they could have it the next day at best.
This would be great except like some of you I bought mine on Kijiji and I doubt I can get a receipt from the seller.
Anyone want to buy my un-unlockable HD7?

The UN-unlockable HD7

So maybe I'm the only one in the world with an HD7 that can't be unlocked.
I bought one on Kijiji new in the box. I'm in Toronto and planned to use it on Wind Mobile. I read of others enjoying their unlocked T-Mobile HD7's. So I bought mine today, sold my old phone the same day and found out that my phone cannot be unlocked.
I have tried 4 different websites for unlocking and all failed. I called HTC and they said to speak to the carrier. The carrier said to get a plan with them and in 40 days I can have the code. Doesn't make much sense being that I don't live in the U.S. or within hours of their service areas.
Finally the sales person says to fax them a receipt and they can provide the code in 24 hours or 2 weeks if they don't have it in their database and have to retrieve it from HTC. I doubt I can get a receipt from the seller and I feel like I just spent $500 on a paper weight.
Anyone have any suggestions??
EDIT: mobileincanada.com surprisingly sent me an email last night saying they updated their database and if I re-ordered they could probably have the code for me in a few min. So I took another shot and they actually had one. I guess it could an updated database to solve the problem!!

Sorry:
http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/microsoft-discusses-homebrew-app-support-for-windows-phone-7

you need to get someone that have t-mobile account to do it for you

Hey go on tmobile's website and go to the online chat help section and talk to someone there and just be kind and tell them the truth. I found that they are really helpful. Just tell the person u bought it from a tmobile store (dont say kiji) and that ur in canada and are not a tmobile customer. They'll understand. Im in canada and was thinking of doin what u did and buying one and then unlocking it so to be safe i talked to a tmobile rep b4 buying anythin and she was really understanding and told me she would unlock it for me after i purchased it( not sure if they wouldve kept their word since i havent bought mine yet)...

as long as you bought it at full retail, they should give you the unlock code. The 40 days only applies if you got it at a discount as a new line of service.

I was in the same situation, tried over 10 websites and none of them had the unlock code in their database. Luckly I was able to get the receipt from the seller and got T-Mobile to unlock the phone. Took T-Mobile less than 24 hrs to send me the code. Like the other poster said, try the T-Mobile online chat, they are very helpful.

Thats crazy.. was planning on picking up an HD7 to use on Wind soon in Toronto. Would be brutal if it can't be unlocked.
Did any of you guys who had problems try mobileincanada.com for the unlock code?

Yup tried mobileincanada.com, didn't work and got a refund.
Most of the sites claimed they should be able to unlock the phone in a few weeks when their databases are updated.
edit: What you could also do is bring a laptop with you when you buy the phone and check if the phone is unlockable here http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/check-imei.php

^man that really sucks.. you had tried 10 different sites? Also thanks for the tip on htcimeiunlock site.
So T-mobile was pretty helpful about the situation as long as you had the original receipt? good to know.. worse case i'll just go for a quick drive and pick one up.

I tried all the sites you all listed here and NONE of them worked. I even found some other site called UNLOCKINGONLINE.COM. They say claim to have access to some newer databases and recommend using a certain unlock option if you're phone is an HTC device manufactured after March or May 2010 I think it said. But it's a premium rate of $39.99 which of course they say they will refund if unsucessful.
Well I tried them as my last resort and guess what? I've had no response from them since last night and they promise a 5-30 min turnaround time on 99% of all unlocks.
So now I'm worrying about the 4 or 5 refunds I'm expecting for all the various unlocking sites I tried AND they guy I bought my HD7 from has decided to no longer respond to my messages. Maybe he knew I couldn't unlock it before hand and took my money and ran.
I guess my last option is the online chat with T-Mobile a few of you have suggested. Otherwise I'm just going to sell it and let someone else figure out how to unlock it.

I tried the online T-Mobile chat and they said unless I bought it right from T-Mobile and have a receipt they will not unlock it for me.
Can anyone offer some advice on either what I can say to them or perhaps if one of you are an existing T-Mobile client you could offer me some assitance??
I'd hate to have to get rid of it now

Hopefully with some time these databases for unlocking will get updated?
I'm close to buying one off something through kijiji in toronto as well.. he just dropped the prices recently, really hope its not the case where the phone cannot be unlocked. Considering I only see one guy selling in toronto I don't think I should take the chance.

Just a heads up the only guy on Kijiji is the guy I bought mine from yesterday. He got back to me now and says he doesn't have retail receipts as he buys from a wholesaler. He says he'll see if there is anything he can do for me.
EDIT:
Here's for anyone else having Sim unlocking problems but can actually get the sales receipt. I just got this in my email:
Unlock Code: Waiting For FAX - MSRP
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. At this time, we will need a copy of the original sales receipt to be faxed into the SIM Unlock Team showing full retail purchase price was paid for the equipment. The fax number is 813-353-6557. Your request will be placed in pending status for 7 business days to allow time for processing. Please include the following information with the fax.

Well I would still buy one IF you weren't in a rush to set it up and didn't mind possibly waiting for a couple weeks for the code. Just don't do what I did and get rid of your current phone with expectations the new one will be up and running in minutes..

If the Kijiji guy did buy in bulk, maybe you can ask him to use http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/check-imei.php to check if the rest of his phones are unlockable and if it is try asking for an exchange.

Think he has one left and I asked him about trying that tool but he didn't answer. Sounds like he just found out recently that they're not unlockable right now.

Well I should probably mention that after he got back to me today about my issues he did promise to go home tonight to see if the other one he had left was unlockable immediately. And if it was he assured me he would let me switch mine for that one. So perhaps that's why he didn't answer you, not sure.
But once I'm out of options and anyone wants mine (that's willing to wait of course) you're welcome to buy it from it me.
I'm going to try taking a walk around here at lunch for fun and see if any of these guys on Yonge St. can unlock it.

^Thats true, he doesn't have it with him so can't check now. He's been a nice guy though, and that's cool if he can let you swap it if its unlockable.
