I Ordered MDAIII from T-Mobile , I didnt get yet but can some one help me with unlocking this phone . Is it posible to unlock this phone to use other GSM Networks. Will unlocking of extended ROM do the trick which I found in some other topic in this forum .
10x in advanced
Should come unlocked but it will be in German.
I got the MDAIII on T-Mobile in the UK and had to pay £15 for them to give me an unlock code.
AAARGGHHHH! - Unlocking T-Mobile (UK) MDA III Sim
Bought this device earlier this month. Can anyone help provide the unlocking sequence cause T-Mobile certainly can't! They say they can provide the unlocking code (eventually) but not the sequence, and to get it I have to contact the device manufacturer! I`m travelling to the USA in 1 weeks time and want to use a T-Mobile USA SIM card whilst there. :x
What do you mean by sequence.
T-Mobile gave me an unlock code - I put my O2 SIM card into the MDAIII and it asked for the unlock code - I entered it. It is now unlocked and works with my O2 SIM
Hmmm, never having unlocked a SIM card before I am going by T-Mobile's advice that there is a specific sequence of key stroke entries that need to be followed before I get to the screen that asks for the code. From what you say it might be no more difficult than taking out the UK SIM card, replacing it with the USA SIM card, a screen appears asking for the unlock code which I enter, and hey presto - job done!
Have I read this right? Is this all you do?
Yes, you are right. It is as simple as that.
MDAIII unlock code availability
Who or where at T-Mobile UK can a SIM unlock code be purchased for 15 pounds? I just got my MDAIII from the Oxford Street retail store but need to use it in areas overseas without T-Mobile service.
Thanks...
I telephoned CS and they gave me the unlock code
italian Rom for xda III
Has anyone an italian rom for XDA III?
Thank you

O2 XDA2s lock
I got my xda2s a week ago and when i called O2 they told me that there is no way i can unlock my phone before the 12month contract ends!
That is really annoying,but they told me its part of my contract agreement!(which i haven't seen mentioned anywhere...)
I need to use it in another network over the christmas, so if there is any other way i can get this unlock code you are talking about, or any software that takes away the lock PLEASE share it.
I really appreciate it.
George
It may be worth ring O2 again. It seems to me that it's the luck of the draw whether you get someone in customer services who
a. gives you the unlock code immediately
b. charges you for an unlock code and unlocks it immediately
c. tells you it can't be done until the end of the first 12 months of your contract.
T Mobile Unlocking

I phoned T mobile straight away on 150 (from the handset) they were very helpful and told me they are happy to unlock it :lol: :lol:

georkal woudl you please tell me exactly-
Which customer service number you have called?
How can you tell them to unlock the phone? (I hv Voda Sim? I go overseas?)
Thanks a lot indeed
I'm glad you got it sorted georkal.
It's always been like this with O2, I wonder what there 'official' policy is supposed to be? Everyone who calls them seems to get a different answer.
o2 - no help at all!
Hi there,
I have tried O2 a number of times, and each time I come across the same problem - if you aren't an 02 customer, then no unblock for you.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get this thing unblocked?
Tony
Phone your own provider. I'm on T-Mobile and had to pay £15 to get it unlocked.
I spoke to O2 Cust Service 202 many times......
(1)bring it to shop they will unlock for ya
(2)impossible
(3)not until 12 months later
Keep calling - 02 will give the unlock eventually.
I just told them that I was travelling to the US and wanted to connect to a different network while I was there. My unlock code is in the post right now - can't wait!

My girlfriend came back from Japan a few months ago and while she was there she bought a cell phone. This is partially my fault since I told her that if it had a SIM it could be unlocked and used in the US. Mostly true, right?
The problem is she went and bought a brand new phone that was recently released in Japan and I cant find a way to unlock it.
Does anyone know how to unlock this phone? Is there something specific I could use for SonyEricsson or is there a general unlock?
Its branded NTTDoCoMo FOMA. Its a sick phone, I just wish she could use it here.
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance
Is Sony using WM?
OK when she got the phone did she ask for it to be enabled for roaming?
Have you asked the provider to unlock the phone for you?
The provider will ususally do one or the other.
If you are looking for a software solution you've come to the wrong place.
Its a Quad Band phone so it should work here. I'm not sure I understand why it would have to be roaming enabled. We dont want to roam, that would be expensive; we want to unlock it and use it with T-mobile.
Japanese providers will not assist you in any way to unlock a phone, its almost taboo to ask. When I was in Japan I asked how I could use a GSM Quad Band in the US and all they would say is it cant be done. Untrue because I know people who have Japanese phones in the US.
I'm not looking for a software solution, but if anyone knows where I could find software that might help that would be cool. I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to unlock this phone or knows how to unlock any SonyEricsson as it might be similar.
And are you asking if Sony is using Windows Mobile? If so, no they aren't. Are these forums only for WM?
My fault.
Upon further research I answered my own question.
It's actually not a GSM phone as I initially thought. Its a CDMA phone that uses a UIM card that is identical to a SIM card.
Solved
This is a GSM phone u can find IMEI number INa CDMA set u get ESN number not IMEI this phone is a GSM brand phone working on some other frequency. This can be unlocked using T-Sim but can't get network in your country.
Hi guys,
a friend of mine had bought a HTC in USA last month (he live in Italy) and he would know what he has to do to use the phone here.
I don't know if this mobile phone is "under contract", he told me not but i'm not sure of it.
So i would know what i have to do with this mobile phone.
I don't know the model of the phone, i know it's not a smartphone and it has got a QWERTY keyboard..
Thank to everyone who could help me..
if the phone is sim unlocked, then you just have to change the sim and you're good to go
if it is sim locked, then you can either a) contact the original provider and get an unlock code, or b) go to the specific forum for the device and use the unlocker made for it

He Said it's not a smart phone. I doubt there is an unlocker for that here. Somewhere maybe, but probably not XDA.
I have a dilemma. I sent my T-Mobile Dash to my brother in El Salvador. Its locked to T-Mobile USA. I called T-Mobile for unlock code and they gave me the code but my brother took it to the local market over there to unlock already and they did too many unsuccessful unlock attempts already and now its not even accepting the unlock code from T-Mobile. I cant send the phone to T-Mobile because its not here. He already tried hard resetting the phone and still not accepting the code and asking to contact Support of T-Mobile. I need desperate help. Is there any way of reversing the attempts by restoring the ROM or anything. Any help from you experts will be helpful. I have learnt a lot from this forum and I really think this situation may have happened to somebody else too so please help.

From what I've read on the T-Mobile USA website, you'll have to contact their tech support center (Customer Care). The phone is permanently locked now--that is, until T-Mobile unlocks it themselves.
I'll call the tech support and see what they say. I think they will ask me to send the phone to them. But I cant. There must be some way to reverse the unlock attempts.

You should try to call. They may not require you to send it in. There might be a signal they can send to your phone. Just try it before you assume the worst.
why u dont contact jockyw2001 ?? he can provide a more affordable solution
OK soo i jus purchased brand new never used ATT branded tilt2... it's still SIM locked-i need to unlock it so i can use it on tmobile.right now i am using the first generation tilt (also att branded) with tmobile service, it runs great and perfectly. i have tried purchasing to get the unlock code remotely twice within the last 2days but both parties said i either gave them the wrong imei or that they cant find the unlock code.WHY IS THIS??? i really need this phone unlocked!!!
