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.
I am going to sell my HTC One and wanted to unlock it first so I bought an unlock code. The only non ATT sim I have is a verizon one but this is not making the phone ask for a sim card... Will a verizon sim card not trigger this? Do I need to use a GSM sim card?

Hello,
my father bought a SIM locked Lumia 925 by accident at eBay...
The problem is, the SIM is locked by a provider from a other county...
Does someone know a way to unlock the device without paying more money then it is worth to?

Hi Dave.
I suggest you to open a ticket in at&t website and request an unlock code.

I had my Lumia 635 unlocked using a 3rd party company. After the code was accepted the screen now shows "PUK required". I am overseas and I'm trying to use it with a foreign cellphone provider. Do I have to call AT&T to get the code? I thought PUK is SIM related? I don't have an account with AT&T nor their SIM.
Please advise. Thanks

PUK is a code required by your SIM card. Probably you use a prepaid one and it is not unusual such a card requests a PUK each time your phone wakes up or restarts. It probably has an option to cancel these requests, refer to card''s instructions or contact card provider's customer service for assistance. Use another SIM to confirm a PUK is not requested by it.
If i go on and order an GoPhone and unlock it with the help of AT&T, will i have to pay monthly fees or will i be tied to them? Will i be able to put any sim card and use it like any other unlocked phone or is there some kind of a catch?
Thanks in advance.

Once it's unlocked that's it, any SIM will work. There are no 'charges' or contract with AT&T, unless you put in an AT&T sim card.
A word of warning, do NOT put the AT&T SIM card in if you want to unlock it. Doing so will register you on their network and then you'll be stuck with having to pay to stay on their network till you qualify for unlocking. Just leave the GoPhone alone, go to their unlock page, enter your data, wait for the code, THEN insert non AT&T SIM into the GoPhone, enter the unlock code, and you're good to go (pun intended).
If you want to use T-Mobile then also go see the unbranding thread and switch it to a T-Mobile ROM. I did that with mine, formerly an AT&T Lumia 640 LTE GoPhone now a T-Mobile Lumia 640 LTE, no problem.
