From your network would be the safest and probably easiest, always is in the UK.

O2 requires me to activate the phone with my O2 sim once. I only have a Mini sim which I'd have to cut into a micro sim but then I wouldn't be able to use it on my main phone.

Total newbie question about SIM unlocking Diamond

Hello everyone,
I'm thinking to buy an HTC Diamond over eBay, and have question about SM unlocking in my mind:
- Do I need to have a SIM card, which the device currently locked in, to unlock it or is it possible to execute the unlocking software without a SIM card installed?
They usually sell phones re-branded and locked to a specific network, and not every network operator works in my country. For example, if I buy a phone locked to Orange, it will be impossible for me to unlock it, if I need to run the unlocking software while an Orange SIM is inserted.
Thanks in advance.
Well I'm not completely sure that you need the sim to unlock it, but what I am sure about is that if you buy the HTC Diamond (not the T-mobile version, or whatever other carrier offers it) it will come unlocked. HTC simply makes the phones and if you buy one of their versions it will be unlocked as a standard.
Hopefully I helped answered your question instead of wasting time for both of us
every phone i have had to have unlocked can be done without any sim card in it
Thanks for your replies and sorry for a late response.
I have already bought my phone and waiting for its arrival. It is an Orange branded device, which is unlocked with a software obtained from unlock-htc.com, according to the seller. So, my problem with the SIM unlock seems solved
I think the bigger question is, once you get it unlock can it be used with AT&T or T-mobile 3G frequency.

We don't have those network operators here in Turkey. In fact, we don't have any 3G network operator at all
If we think that people are discussing about 4G technologies like LTE in north America and Europe, we can easily say that cellular network providers are evolving very slow in Turkey I don't think I will have problems with our current old school GSM providers with a SIM unlocked device.
I have to wait and see of course, I will let you know the results.

[Q] ebay purchased Tmobile g1\HTC Touch Pro (Sprint) locked for non-USA usage

Hi,
I purchased T-mobile G1 and HTC Touch Pro (Sprint) from ebay. Both are locked. For me to use outside USA with other carrier whats my next step to unlock it ?
I do not have T-mobile service nor Sprint. If I find a friend/colleague who has T-mobile/Sprint service can he use his Sim card to unlock the phone ? do you need Sim Card to unlock the phone ?
is there article explaining it like whats exactly involved in providing information to carrier\service provider and is there any embarrassment questions which one needs to prepare for.
Regards,
Miten.

[Q] Which SIM Un-Locking Services for the Z

Hi all,
I just brought a Xperia Z on eBay locked to Orange UK network.
Does anyone know where I can get an un-lock code for the phone?
I don't mind paying, just want to find a fast and reliable un-locking service.
Many thanks
P.S. Orange UK needs the phone to be registered for at lest 6 months before they will unlock it. So its no go there.
Has any one used HtcCode.com?
It seems they can unlock the Xperia Z between 1 to 3 days for around £25.
I'd be grateful for any feedback on HtcCode.com.
I'd like to know that as well...
I got the unlock code but don't know where to put the code.. Any ideas?
when you insert another sim card ( other than the one from the carrier you bought the device from) it will ask you to put the unlock code
Is it possible to have free sim unlock?

Depends how you get it on o2.
If you get it via CarphoneWarehouse, then chances are the phone will be sim unlocked and also bootloader unlockable......However..
Like me if you get this directly from o2 then the device will be locked on both counts...BUT anyone who is on a monthly O2 contract can request to have their phone sim unlocked at anytime during their contract period. Basically just ring them and tell them and within a few days they'll email you your sim unlock code.
It worked for me, and have even tested with a vodafone sim.
OP, I will ask you to read the Forum Rules,

Have you ever used it on the att network? Then you're good to go, the phone was already activated in us, I have the same and I used it in Thailand without problems, I called att and they provided me the network unlock code.
