Been looking for a free way, but looks like there isn't one. So anyone know of a place that does it online for $10 or so?

That's insane, with T-Mobile they did it for free for me. However if you can't get them to provide, which I think they are required to, check eBay. Make sure they can unlock it first though before paying.

That's not insane its just being greedy, the other side to the story is this phone is old and I got an upgrade that replaced the T679. Just want to give the phone to a friend so that he can use it but they still charge you a flat fee of $75.
That Bell Canada for you
$75 is outrageous! I've looked around a few months ago... Average price for this phone is about $30

I've just got the purple pay as u go version from o2, though haven't played with it as not home. Was told I can only take the network lock after 1 year, the unlock request working for you guys? Or are you on monthly contract, not sure if its different to unlock
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that's it, monthly can unlock at anytime except iPhone 5.

O2 pay monthly are always unlocked. Except iPhones
Are there any updates on this as my Xperia Z is also sim-locked to 3. thanks!
Is it possible to have free sim unlock?
Hi all, because sprint is removing my discount (I've been a customer for over 10 years) it is cheaper to move to T-mobile, but it has already been over 14 days and I cannot return my current sprint phone.
I currently have it rooted and unlocked, but I'm wondering if it is possible for me to just somehome keep this phone, but use it on the T-mobile network instead of having to sell this, and than buying a new one and losing money.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated,
Thank you!
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't they make it illegal to take your phone to a new carrier without your current carriers permission. Granted I do not know the details. But from what I understand the networks are not compatible so I do not think you would be able to do that. One is CDMA and the other is GSM.
I'm surprised no one's answered this simple question.
To answer your question, no. No way in hell. Sell your phone and get it T Mobile Phone simple as that.

They removed your discount when you upgraded. Go back into the store, fill out the form and fax it to Sprint. You will then have your discount back. You just have to re-verify every 2 years.

No, for two reasons...
1. The phone won't do GSM inside the US.
2. Even if it could do GSM in the US, it lacks UMTS 850, UMTS 1700 and LTE 1700, hence performance on T-Mobile as a smartphone will be poor.

You could easily make 550 off of your One, assuming it's in like-new condition.

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.

I don't have a second microSIM to check if it is network locked, but I am pretty sure it is... Could someone confirm?

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.

After a quick call to Orange customer service, I was told that I had to wait 5 months before they could unlock it as I bought it from new :crying:
In Spain I had to pay for the "International" version of SP because of my provder "Yoigo Spain" to unlock it, it costed me 24.50Eur

I have never done it with the One but 2 AT&T iPhones I had are running Straight talk without problems. make sure you get the correct micro sim for AT&T towers, and if you do have carrier unlock problems theirs services on ebay for that, and are cheap
