Sorry for not replying earlier, didn't see the post...
I successfully used gsmliberty.net, but this was a few months ago (a bit less than 1 year). But I had used another unlock provider before this.
I must have unlocked 5-6 phone in the past 3 years and only got "scammed" once.
Not bad odds for a 10-15$ product that is "grey market".
Local stores charge 30+ dollars for same thing and Canadian providers charge upwards 50$ (if they even do it).

How to sim unlock for free?

Is there a way? I would like to know, plz..
Thanks

maybe your right

By law, operators in portugal only unlock free of charge if the phone is not within the contract time which is usually 2 years

Yeah, I know that.. but my phone is new (nem 1 ano tem sequer), that's why I need an alternative..

There are only free methods for phones, which are four or five years old, and maybe your provider can do it for you when your contract is over.
If you want to unlock it now, just search a bit on Google, or PM to Blagus, with this way you can find at least really cheap ones.

LuisDias, blagus makes the best price you can find..

Hello,
I used the fastgsm.com website which works the following way:
- you pay for credits, (40USD for X8) and then they send you user/password for the unlock software client
- you download the drivers and the unlock client to you PC and do as it is written
I followed the instruction but the progress stopped after reading out my mobile.
This cause me to problems: they consider I used up the credits.
I got my mobile still locked and what is even worse now it locked for everything.
With my original T-mobile simcard I can not attach to any network.
All I can do is search the network but can not attach to any (not even the Home network)
After all this I made a software upgrade on my mobile with PC companion, but I still the same problem, it locked for everything.
Have any of you had the same problem?
Many thanks for any response!

Ouch. I don't have this experience but I recommend you PM Blagus for unlock since your phone is now screwed.

Thanks, I will contact him.

I flashed a generic firmware on my X10 mini and it unlocked it, dont spend money on something you can do yourself.

WoW! In my country the contract is for 1 year, i think is a lot, but 2 OMG! Too hard to change quickly your mobile xD

For me, I think I was lucky. My phone was locked on my network only, then I rooted it, installed custom ROM blah blah, and voila, it unlocked, wtf? I was very surprised, it asks me for unlock code, but I can bypass this screen and phone registeres on other networks with other SIM cards, I don't know if it was luck or something else considering that I've unlocked it somehow.

what ROM did u use?

Gsmliberty.com
Also, Three, as far as I know DO give unlock codes but you must of used a certain amount of phone credit (€200 , I think). Or had it at least 2 years
My dad got it off three Ireland, last summer after about 5 calls.
It is possible...

Meteor told me they have to contact SE to get unlock code and I must spend €120 before they will request it, I see your network is Meteor, is your x8 locked? if I get mine unlocked I will pm the code to you, same network, device and country, might be worth a try

Sure. I thought rooting unlocked the simcard.? Am I wrong?!

[Q] SIM unlocking the XL

Just got mine today, traded in the Galaxy s2 as I fell in love with the screen on the XL. The single core processor still handles the jobs I use the phone for but now I can squint a little less.
One issue, I have been unable to find a sim unlock code as yet. Most online services I have tried say they don't have the IMEI on their databases.
Anyone have any suggestions for getting it unlocked? I need to use 2 different SIMs to get coverage at both home and work!

What network did you get it with or was it an upgrade via CPW or P4U (in UK)?

just got a confirmation from this site that they can unlock
http://www.unlockdata.co.uk/index.asp

It was an upgrade from O2.
I tried the site you suggested but they don't have a record of the IMEI yet.
I have been waiting for O2 to offer the unlock key (which they do for free) but they refused cause my SIM hasn't been in the phone yet! Problem is, no coverage at home. I just drove out of town with the SIM in the phone and did some texts and gonna try O2 again... It's so frustrating.

That is annoying, especially for O2, they were really good with me back in the day,,,, lets see how Orange do now

O2 have now accepted that I am using the phone and have said that they have to get the unlock key from the Manufacturer which could take a few days.... Oh well, a few days without calls/text won't hurt I suppose. It would be better if it could be unlocked like the Galaxy range tho. Can't wait for some decent ROMs without all the HTC guff.

anyone know where to unlock???

Received unlock code from O2 this morning. 7 days, but no charge!

They should be able to sort you an unlock code (at a cost) but @lucasex is your phone brand spanking new on brand new contract? or have you been with O2 before etc?

i havent been with o2 at all
its brand new pay as you go from o2
its a shame ive just pay 449£

They unlock a contract phone free at anytime but with pay and go its gotta be 12 months before they unlock and they charge.

just got my unlock code from O2 free of cost, was ordered on saturday

Unlockdata don't stock the code so don't use them yet also beware of others that say they do. Mobileunlocked is also very good so check them too. So many unlock scams online these days its unreal

well i tried the free unlock solution posted in the sensation forum and my code was not on my phone...............got the imei number with date above it LOL. oh well at least i checked. temp root turned perma root using evo3d temp root method.

Why not email the developer on sensation forums and ask him to check your files, He will need you to upload a few but i believe he can do it

[Q] Xperia Z C6603 Sim Unlock

Hi Everyone
Picked up a Xperia Z its on the C6603 firmware and I believe its locked to T-Mobile as when I try another sim its comes up as saying sim card not provisioned MM2, however when going to the system info screen using the dial pad and then sim lock all the numbers on the right for network etc are on 0 and there are no crosses in any of the boxes on the left, so was hoping maybe you could tell me if its unlocked or not and if so where I could get it unlocked thanks and sorry if this is posted elsewhere but couldn't find it.

You could try flashing it so it's factory unlocked or buy a network key if you don't fancy losing warranty

Just for people on here questioning how to sim unlock the mobile, you may want to do this quick check first as I had mine on contract from t-mobile UK and paid £20 for a unlock code that I have not received and by doing the following below, I found out it was already unlocked so check before you decide to either pay for a code or even flash the mobile.
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* on the keypad to enter the service info and then check (sim lock) (network) , if there is a "X" mark in the square box on the left then it is locked. The number to the extreme right indicates the number of tries left. For example if it is 5 , it means you have 5 tries left.
Also there is apparently a new firmware release from sony today with some suggesting it fixes the bug that killed a few mobiles recently.

Thanks for the advice.
I have already done this and i am network locked. Any chance you could keep me update as to whether you ever receive your code?

instead of a number like 5 tries left.... I got unlimeted .. Why ? however, ww. htccode.com solved my sim locked sony xperia z problem.

HTCCODE.com
I just got my DOCOMO Xperia Z (SO-02E) Unlocked using HTCCODE.com. The cost was $40 and it did take about a week to get my code but it worked as advertised, and the personnel on the companies live chat support were great to deal with.
If you are looking to unlock your Xperia Z and don't mind waiting a few days for your code I would recommend HTCCODE.com

Is it possible to have free sim unlock?

Does that means if the square boxes is empty on all fields, it simply means its already unlocked or no restrictions?

YES - its UNLOCKED POP in ANOTHER SIM AND IT WILL WORK!

And by the way ... just got mine from 3 and it is locked unlike yours!
So any wiz could confirm (even though I am quite sure that it's not possible) ...If i put a stock Rom on the device (thus de-branding it) . Do I get the device sim unlocked as well ?

Unfortunately not. I'm using an unbranded custom rom and I'm still sim locked.

Struggling to Carrier Unlock - L09 Vodafone UK

Hey guys,
Looking for some advice on unlocking my device. I bought it of marketplace and it seems to be locked to Vodafone UK.
I'm having no issues at all when using a Vodafone sim and adding a new SIM prompts for the network unlock code (Expected behaviour) but I've tried 4 different companies now to try unlock the phone and each have said they can't find the code on their database?
I thought the IMEI might have been altered but it's aligned with what's on the box and legit.
Can anyone offer any advice on what to do next!? Cheers

Yeah I've spoken to them, they said they can only help once I put a sim in the phone for over 30 days (I'm now 2/30).
Id just hate to wait 30 days for them to not be able to do it!

cop out but check ebay for vodafone unlocking codes usual takes alot less time. if you bought the phone second hand and as long as its older than 3 months it can be done. all comapies will say it can take upto 28 days to get the code but thats just to cover them.
just a quick look but this one says huawei
