You should contact Verizon for an unlock code. If they won't provide you with one then you need to contact one of the sites on the Internet and purchase an unlock code for your phone.
Unlike a lot of previous HTC devices, a software solution to SIM unlock your phone no longer works on the IncS.
Thanks for the info...
I don't know how it is in the States but here in Gemany I usually got such a code with every SIM-card I bought... Maybe search dow your papers?
EDIT: OH sorry, got that wrong... Thought your SIM is locked not your phone SIM-locked Confuusing
I know there is already one thread "SIM Unlock" went about 40 pages only discussing about Sprint customer service experience and emails on unlock from sprint. below are truths we know so-far ...
1. We all know that sprint is not unlocking the HTC One at present, even if they say it is unlocked that's not true.
2. Sprint HTC One is a world phone supports CDMA and GSM
3. May not support all frequencies of other carriers, but should work on other carriers voice, text and 2g or 3g data.
4. Cricket flashing is successful, you can flash your devices to cricket or MetroPCS
SO Let discuss only progress on unlocking the Sprint HTC One for GSM carriers using software modifications. did one have break through modifying phone.apk ?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Sprint HTC One even supports the basic frequencies needed for AT&T/T-Mobile in general.
this is all discussed in the other thread. you should read through it. lots of good information
where is this other thread you guys are talking about? link?

Actually #1 is no longer true. They've since changed their unlocking method and folks, including myself, are now rocking SIM unlocked phones. In fact, I successfully used a T-Mobile SIM in my Sprint-unlocked HTC One (GSM data only and very spotty coverage).
I have a Sprint HTC one which I got to India, but when I insert a SIM here it says SIMLOCK ENABLED.
is there a way to UNLOCK it????
I have already tried to install a couple of Custom ROMs, but couldn't install, instead bricked my device.
I have unbricked my device, but couldn't unlock my Device.
And also my ClockWorkMod says it is Unable to load Cache and also is Unable to load SD Card.
ANY HELP PLEASE...!!!!!

Hi
I was also interested in buying a sprint HTC ONE which i was plaaning to use in India. However, no where I could find a concrete support that HTC one for sprint were being unlocked. As you have already purchased the phone, would you be willing to buy unlock code from internet. Some sites are doing it for $4. I am not sure whether it'll work or not. But I guess after buying this phone, you could take a risk of 4 more i think.
And if it works, could you share with us so that even I can go ahead and buy a sprint HTC One which would be used in India on GSM network.
Thanks
i´m facing the same thing

Just call Sprint customer service, follow the menu prompts until you get to the International department and ask them to unlock your phone. If you meet all the requirements they'll put your case in for review and you'll get an email in a day or two saying your phone is unlocked and give you instructions for completing the process (power phone off, insert foreign sim, power back on, update UICC).
It's only supposed to unlock the SIM for international carriers, but mine somehow got unlocked for domestic carriers, too. But that is not the norm that I know of.
If you've paid full price for your phone, they may still try to tell you that you have to wait 40 days. This is BS. Be POLITE but insistent that this is not the case until they give in or escalate you.

I don't understand the number of people from outside the US buying the Sprint version. Why not buy the international version or at least one of the GSM versions from AT&T or T-Mobile? Does India even have CDMA?
Currently on the phone with Sprint now and they are telling me it has to be on my account for 90 days before they can unlocked.

You are lucky. I've talked to Sprint several times claiming that I'm unlocked and have received the same emails confirming the steps that you just mentioned but I'm still getting the Sim Locked enabled message when I insert the foreign Sim card.. I've been with them for years. Every time I call I get a different story from a rep. I'm rooted with stock rom, correct me if I'm wrong but that shouldn't affect in anything right?

Sprint won't unlock phones that were bought at full price if the line the phone is activated on is not currently under contract.

If you paid for the phone outright, that shouldn't matter. Tell them so firmly, but politely. Ask for a manager if you have to, or, you could threaten to leave. Also, I find that complaining on twitter can help quite a bit.

I'm not sure I follow. My contract had expired, but I was still on Sprint just doing month to month and they unlocked the phone. At first they were trying to say that the phone had to be active for 40 days, but I assured them that was not the case and pointed out that they had already authorized an unlock under the previous system.

I was stock rooted when I did it. Are you clicking on the UICC Unlock button? Does it say "downloading new profile" or some such? If it still isn't working I'd bring it to a Sprint store and see if they can force it or replace it.

Yes I did what it says on the mail " Turn off device > Insert 3rd party SIM > go to Settings > System updates > UICC unlock. You will receive the update and it should change to GSM Mode." All it says is that it's updating and after finishing I click ok and that's it nothing else happens.The only reason I don't want to take it to the store is because they will tell me that the phone is rooted and they won't touch it and I'll have to unroot it. Any input you'd give me is appreciated.

You must have gotten lucky. International support (both phone and chat) and [email protected] email refuse to unlock my One for the reason that the line it is activated on is not under contract.
Edit: I replied to the [email protected] email saying that I understand that the person who responded doesn't set the policy, but that they should unlock the phone because I own it and otherwise I'll port all four lines out. Unlocked two hours later. Thanks for the update that your line out of contract got unlocked

Follow the below link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU7vi388dMk
Your device is unlocked!!!
That will unlock the bootloader but I don't think it sim unlocks it also? My phone came sim unlocked but with past phones unlocking the bootloader never sim unlocked my phones. After unlocking the bootloader google these two words "sieempi wonderhowto" and the first hit should be a guide to show you how to sim unlock. Sorry I can't post links as this is my first post ever.
If that still fails to sim unlock your phone all isn't lost yet. To use that method you have to S-Off your phone and if your phone is S-Off than your other option would be to run a T-Mobile RUU. You would be stuck having to run a T Mobile rom but at least you could use your phone.
I would also contact HTC because it sounds very odd they would send you a AT&T phone if you sent them a T Mobile phone to be fixed. Maybe they sent you the wrong phone?
A new thread might show up in a few days from a AT&T customer saying HTC repaired their phone but sent them back a T Mobile instead
I understand this phone comes preinstalled with an unlocking software to sim unlock on all networks. I bought this phone on craigslist checked the imei and its good but my concern is how do i put an unlock code if is to use the app ,i want to use the code please help..

Well if you connect it with Metro PCS they can give you an unlock code right away,since you didn't buy the phone from a store.

The HTC Desire 626s (like the other new models from T-Mobile/MetroPCS) is locked by the "Unlock Device" app that connects to the T-Mobile/MetroPCS server and asks for unlock.
This phone cannot be unlocked neither with code or by playing with the files in the System.
The only way to Unlock it is by buying a service, i bought one for MetroPCS for about 25 bucks in ebay.
I also have unlocked 2 Desire 626s from Boost Mobile with this service: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252348223935?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
The same seller has another listing for Virgin Mobile that I have used before to GSM unlock my 626s. The guy gave me a discount just when I asked for it and everything was pretty easy!
Maybe you should ask him to see if he can unlock yours
The unlock app worked for me. All it did was check with the carrier or something and it was approved. The phone restarted and a notification said the phone's unlocked. The app also uninstalled

Hello,
I need a help very badly on my new device that i purchased which is HTC desire 626s and is locked to Sprint. I thought i could buy unlock codes online and get it unlocked. But when i inserted different cellular SIM card, the device did not ask for unlock code and rather threw a message "4G LTE/GSM will not work as SIMLock is enabled. Please contact Customer Service to unlock". Can anyone please please help me here to have this SIMLock unlocked and make the device able to work with any other cellular provider, I know i can reach Sprint to get it unlocked but i just purchased it and i am sureSprint will not do it for newly purchased devices unless its used for 6 months. If anything to be done via device booting or anything please provide me a step by step procedure as i am not a tech geek. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
Hi Pavi4, i searched all the web and the only way to GSM unlock my HTC Desire 626s from Sprint was buying this service. It is supposed to cost 25 or something but i sent a message to the seller and he accepted 20
I hope it works for You too!!

It's safe bro, at least in my experience the unlock was done in one hour. The guy told me that ussualy takes 20-30 minutes but I have a 64 BITS Windows 7 computer and it has a problem with drivers so it took us more time to figure out where the problem was, maybe you can send a message to the seller and ask your questiones. Maybe something has changed since I bought the service. Everything was through ebay so i felt secure about my money
