You can't...Unless you buy the Phone SIM free. PAYG versions or the handsets are usually network locked (and possibly network branded).
Only way you're guaranteed to get a sim free version is by getting one on contract through CPW or P4U etc.

Just buy a sim free from P4U or CPW no contract needed and stick any SIM you want in it

Best place so far to buy SIM free both black and silver colour in terms of stock, price, and customer service.

This may have been asked before but I'll ask again, is there no way of getting this phone SIM unlocked for free as of yet?
When i got my phone first thing I done was get it unlocked to all networks which cost me €20.81, I've had to leave my phone in for repairs after I borked it by formatting system and stupidly not having a nandroid backup, I've been informed that I'll just be getting a new handset but this is likely to be locked to o2 where i purchased the phone and im with Tesco Mobile so unless there is another method that's free that i have yet to come across then I'll have to pay again to get the phone unlocked, and that's not good.
When i had a Galaxy S3 I had an apk.called Galaxy SIM unlock which done the trick nicely, why isn't there something similar for this phone to save people from having to pay?

Given no responses im assuming there's no free method as of yet.
I have seen this on eBay, this guy has pretty good feedback and is cheap, can anyone vouch for this seller?

I have tried 5 places to get my phone unlocked but none of them have the code, some were saying try back in 2 weeks time and your code might show up on the server, got refunded straight away.
I think they all get them off HTC so the eBay unlock sellers seem to be the cheapest option.

Got mine from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unlock-an...ltDomain_3&hash=item257d441929#ht_1461wt_1163
Fast turnaround, and 100% seller feedback...used to unlock both my HTC One, and One X previously
You might have to wait a while if o2 are giving you a new phone as the unlock codes for they're new batch on HTC ones don't seem to be on the server where they get them from.

I'm delighted to say I'm in possession of a SIM unlocked One the bootloader is locked but I'd have expected that anyway and I can unlock that anytime but tried my Tesco Mobile and UK Giff Gaff SIMs and both are fine so that's good i don't have to shell out again.

Strange question, but are you absolutely sure that it's now unlocked? As giffgaff and Tesco mobile all run on the O2 network anyway, and will both work in O2 locked handsets. To be sure, I'd try inserting a Vodafone, 3 or EE SIM just to be sure.

The only SIM cards ive got are Tesco Mobile and Giff Gaff, well i have an o2 one too but i dont use that.
To be honest even if its not unlocked it's fine for me as they are the only 2 SIM's i use.

Google is best bet or contact your local inpendant mobile phone store they normally offer unlocking,it can take up to 4-5days.

Be aware that if you unlock it, if you send it back to Sony for warranty repair, it will be reverted to factory settings, I.e. Simlocked again. I've just got my s back from having its yellow screen replaced and it's now simlocked to o2 and the bootloader unlock status is now no

Call Orange
All you have to do is call Orange Customer Service and they will send you the code.
Last time I did it, it cost me £15 payable on my next bill (if you are on pay monthly).
They can't say no to your request as they don't own the phone. Actually, the didn't ask me any questions, they just did it.
Hope that helps :good:

Wow you guys pay for sim unlock? All phones from carriers here are sim unlocked and have unlockable bootloaders.
It is required by law, but I like it.

Wow, you were lucky. I purchased a second hand Orange locked phone and because it didn't come with its original SIM Orange couldn't/wouldn't unlock it. They said it needed an Orange SIM in for them to see it to unlock, the IMEI alone wasn't enough. And, if they could have done it, they would have apparently charged £30. Advised me to go to one of those little high street shops to have it done.
Orange customer service (a misnomer) sucks, by the way. I've dealt with them before with a similar experience. Rant over.
It's now £20.50! For the unlock!!!

Go into the service menu *#*#7378423#*#*
Service info
SIM lock
If there's [x] next to network, it's locked. The number after it is the amount of unlock attempts remaining.
However, if the phone came from Orange, you will be able to use it on T-Mobile and EE without needing to unlock it.

There is a seller who provides codes for £17.70 now. I used a code from him to unlock SP.
Hey guys, I've just recently purchased a HTC One on PayAsyouGo. But I am currently on a Three contract.
I was wondering if it is possible to unlock it to all networks for free or if there is an guide that I can follow to unlock it.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried your contract sim in it?
If you have and it doesn't work then you'll have to contact the original carrier for a sim unlock code
I'd try another SIM first, if it's not already you can buy unlock codes off eBay for about £3

Can you link me to a code on ebay.

Cheers mate, I've ordered it, received and unlocked it within an hour.
hi just got a htc one locked to o2 uk is there any program or app will unlock it as i paid for an unlock code and they couldnt unlock it
Well first get a refund for that unlock code.
Since the HTC has been out for a year now if you have been an o2 customer for longer than 6 months if you ring o2 or go to there stores they may unlock it for free.
That's what I did with three and I know Vodafone does that too. Might be worth a try with o2
To my knowledge there is no software or programme on xda that can SIM unlock the htc one

rooting the phone will not sim-unlock it. You must be 100% stock to use the sim unlock code (or as far as possible to stock, i.e stock rom)
Try another sim unlock code or ask you carrier like suggested above.
