Hey,
Here's my experience of how I got a free unlock code from o2.
If you order a HD7 from them on Pay&Go they wont give you the Unlock code, you can pay around £15 to buy one online, when I bought mine there wasn't a code avaliable for my IMEI.
Basically, you need to buy a Simplicity Monthly Sim. There's a deal they have £10, 1 month rolling contract. This is the one I went for, because I assumed I would have had to pay the first month.
Once you've done this, they will send you your new pay monthly number by E-Mail the same day. Use that number to fill out this form http://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Hand
You will get an unlock code straight from o2, in my case I got it the next day.
Then.. when your new Simplicity sim arrives you need to phone o2 customer service. Much to my surprise you can cancel the contract under the 14 day return policy. They will charge you nothing the contract will be cancelled and you just throw out the sim.
The only charge to you is about a pound or so from phoning o2 Customer Service.
thanks for the tip

Hi folks, all you have read here about contacting O2 and getting a different reply is true. I have been trying to get the unlock code for my new IIs for a couple of weeks now and have been told various answers, "can not be done till after contract ends" etc., etc., on Thursday spoke to a very helpful girl in customer service Manchester and she got confused came back with the answer but was thinking I needed the PUK code not the network unlock. I then spoke to another guy who she patched me through to, this morning in my email was the network unlock code, he had to request it but that was pretty quick. I was upfront and told him that work issued my IIs and I was at penalty of dismissal if used outside work and so I had to carry 2 phones because my personal is on Orange, told him it was a twelve month contract with O2 so what was the problem, he agreed and I can now use the phone with a dual sim adaptor when it arrives. So the bottom line is KEEP trying persistance means you will get a helpful person in the end.
Unlock and Dual Sim
I read your posting and you mentioned a dual sim adaptor can you expand as work in two countries and have to carry two phones, but in the good old days I got a Nokia and small card that allowed two sims under the battery.

I use this with my TMo US and O2 Pay and Go when in the UK. Hope this helps!

Can u please give me the unlock code??
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.
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.

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

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
So... I'm going towards purchasing HD7 but i just talked to a T-Mobile representative and they said that they are giving it for $499 but unlocked. They do not provide unlock codes even for a fee and that I'd have to get it unlocked elsewhere...
Anyone know about this?
If you buy the device full price from a tmobile corp. Location, then you need to call customer service and request your unlock code. It is that simple. They will provide it, considering you didn't buy it on a contract and take a discount. Even if you take a discount, after 60 days, they will provide the unlock code to you... free of charge.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Thanks for that... but i saw HTC Mozart here today and it just blew me away! The screen is perfect and the device itself is superb quality...!
i.e. am now a proud owner of the mozart! Cancelled my order of the HD7!
Greetings to you all, gurus of the mobile universe.
I just bought a T-Mobile G1 from a friend and it is locked. I bought a code from a guy on ebay and it doesn't work, so he refunded the money.
I still want to unlock it but I don't know anyone who is a Tmo customer (all Sprint in my neck 'o the woods). Is there anyone here willing to file an unlock request for me?
Thanks for help and no thanks for flames.
Cancel this request, as I got impatient and paid a local shop $20 to unlock it for me.
Can just call t-mobile say its an old phone and going out of the country and need unlock code. Dont even need an account with them they ask for a number and give you the code. free
Totally not true.
I tried that route when I bought my Touch Pro II and they flat-out refused to give me a code unless I had been a paying customer for 90 days. I went round and round with the guy on the phone for an hour, talking to two supervisors and they wouldn't budge.
If you aren't a 90+day customer, TMo WILL NOT give you a code.
