Not really.. Just wanted to get some attention to be honest lol..
I requested an unlock code from T-Mobile UK for my MDAIII and i'd like to ask those who already unlocked their phones with this method, how long did they take to send you the unlock code?
Cheers
Jim
Well i requested one from O2 for my XDA 2s and they have told me it can take up to 21 days and will cost me £15 which i think is a bit silly to be honest. But then its only £15 so no skin off my nose so to speak.
But as said im waiting up to 21 days for mine, soon as i get it i will post back.
hmm... i requested mine about a week ago.. they told me it could take up to 28 days but it never does take that long(they even said maybe 5 days)..
Thing is im travelling tmrow (in a few hours actually) to Cyprus woohoo I already have a sim for the network in cyprus but my mda3 will be paper weight now till they flippin email me the code.
The only reason i didnt go with imei-check is that i i couldnt be bothered doing a hard-reset and getting all my stuff up and running (again..).
Now im gonna suffer.. oh well.
Any other MDA3 users (and i mean Tmobile Uk customers) that got their code? How long did it take?
I got my O2 one in 2.5 days - after they said it would take 21 days.
Good luck!

Well, I'm afraid you're in for a wait. You're demanding something that isn't possible at the moment. Sorry.
I just now, approx 5 min ago, called Tmo and stated to them that I was going out of the country for millitary business and that I needed to unlock my phone. I stated that I paid $399 for it and wanted to take full advantage of such a great device (hey it worked right). Low and behold without any trouble they are processing the unlock and will email me the code within 24 hours. So try to call them again.
Well, as Zero hour is fast approaching on what i have been told by business cs at T-Mobile (UK) that the TP2 aka Vario 5 will be out on Tuesday (Subject to anymore push backs) i thought id start a thread so we can discuss our findings etc.
I will be giving them a call on Tuesday to see if i can get my grubby little hands on it and will let you all know if i get any success!
Those of you that know me from the Kaiser Section of this board will know I did the same with the Vario 3 and ended up with a huge mass of "Im calling now, cmooooon" and it was rather funny to read!
Jas
I am interested in a vario 5 too. I wonder what the price and contract will be.
Well i spoke to a chap at T-Mobile on Tuesday last week and i asked about pricing and as it wasnt out he couldnt be sure etc but said he thought that it would be free on my account which is a Business Flext 35 + WnW Pro which comes to ~£45/month.
I'll give them a call today and see what they say.

I think it ought to be free for £45 a month. I currently pay half that for the basic package (including the basic webn'walk) which is OK for me.
keep us updated mate, im interested as to when they'll be getting stock, contract runs out on wednesday and mpd have been messing me about a bit!
id imagine it'll be free on a £35/month contract...
Gah, you got a date!
When I rang Orange last week I got 'within the next two weeks'.
Blimey! That would be quick... i remember when we used to wait months from a HTC release to a branded version.
I currently have a pre-order paid for and waiting for an Acer M900 and (diferences aside) I will possibly get which ever I can first .... and as i'm already on TMob, this could be the deciding factor!
Although, after my TD I swore I would never get another HTC device .....
Surely this cannot be true!!!!

No FM Radio? Then its a no-buy for me. I need my Absolute Radio going around the M25 in the mornings.
I don't get why everyone trips over the missing radio. If you use the radio a lot, why not buy a portable one (they are cheap) with a 3,5 mm headphone jack.
because i'd then need to carry ANOTHER device in my very small motorbike jacket pockets - so, a converged device (Read, contains FM radio) is exactly what i need.
I just called T-Mobile UK to enquire about the availablility of this phone as I too am due an upgrade and they say it is NOT on there list for release this week
John
hardly surprising that the left hand and right hand dont know what they are doing.
Your best bet, unless your in a REAL rush, is to wait. Wasn't it supposed to be tomorrow? Surley you can wait for that
yah tmob telling me nada to tomorrow
Well an update for you all:
Ive basicly spent the entire day on the phone to T-Mobile (reorganising contracts - not just pestering them about a release date!) and ended up getting quite high up the ladder and they have started playing the "Well it is coming soon but it could be another couple of months yet" card.
To be honest and sorry to let everyone down from an update point of view, ive just ordered one sim free from work so i wont be getting any more updates from them, Although i am on the "High Priority First Call" list so they will call me as soon as it comes out.... apparently, no doubt we shall know here before they ring anyway though.
Mine should be arriving tomorrow and ill try and do a nice review of it but to be honest theres already a few in detail reviews and i doubt mine would cover anything that they havent already done.
I am looking forward to it though i must say!

i've landed myself an unbranded touchpro2/mda vario v from mobilephones direct on t-mobile uk. yep they are offering the touch pro 2 free on a 18 month contract at 39.15gbp monthly. no need for CID or security unlocks when hardspl get released etc. next delivery on all items so i think thats a smashing deal!
i also signed up with mobilesphonesdirect for the pro2 after i've been told the vario5 should be out by the end of June which i don't want to wait. i prefer the phone unlocked and in it's original design.
mobilephones direct
Can I ask how you guys are getting the phone for free. When I rang up they told me to ring tmobile and find out what my upgrade value was (it was £200). I gave mobilephones direct this and they said the phone would cost me £250 to upgrade. Have you all got higher upgrade status or was I just unlucky and spoke to the wrong person!

You will need CID / Sec Unlock unless you got a pre-release version.
Even then most pre-rel devices are CID locked (by that I mean need Hard SPL to flash unsigned custom ROMs) still. You can check sec unlock status in the bootloader. Does it say Security unlocked at the top?
Dave
how did you get your upgrade value? I've tried and nobody from tmob will give it to me.
Neil.
No longer coming soon...

However the web site pricing doesn't work when viewed using Google Chrome as the browser.
Now firing up the spreadsheet to working out the best deal. My t-mobile contract runs out next month
Brought my Tytn from Vodapone and found them helpful when I had hardware problems.

Anyone without a "business" got one? Anyone had any problems with not owning a business?
Many thanks,
Dave
I got one last week without a business, and they didn't seem bothered at all.
I got mine for £30+vat a month over 18 months and when I've just looked at the website it showed 3 months free. I rang up and complained that I wasn't offered this option, and he politely pointed out that it was for 24 month contracts only. Then he said if I wanted to change to it I could and he dropped the rental to £25 pm
So I have extended the contract AND saved money, are you listening Tmobile?
Thanks stunno, I think I'm going to upgrade... (it's been so long since I got my Kaiser, I've getting nervious )
@lloydsparkes, please don't thread hijack, I've deleted your posts, use one of the many T-Mob threads.
Dave
yeh i got mine from vodafone a week ago and im not a business owner...
they didnt seem too bothered about it either. Got a 25ppm contract for 24 months! figured the phone looks great and hopefully should work well (which it is for now) i didn't mind keeping it for 2 years!
Just a quick update - I was just in the Vodafone branch in Durham who told me that they had an email this morning telling them that the stores weren't going to stock it so it's online/telesales only.
double posting...sorry

Go for it Dave, you know you want to!
And when you get it, as your first job can you find a way of getting rid of the branding, please?
I've signed up on Vodafone for £34 + VAT per month, 18 months, and get 900 mins + unlimited TXT + 500mb data.
What are you guy's getting for £25 per month? If I'm getting a raw deal I may ask them to change it for me, or I have until Monday to decide to send it back within the 'peace of mind' return period.
I'm getting 500 minutes, unlimited landline and internet (but the AUP will be 50MB) and 250 texts

My condolences mate, hope you find something soonest.
I too am between contracts, the job market sucks in the UK at the moment, but there is always work about as long as one can be humble.
Good luck again.

for 25 a month i get 600 mins unlimited texts and unlimited internet i.e 500mb...but i did pay 196 for the phone....now i jus checked the website and they are selling the same contract for 170...i feel a bit cheated! im gna call them tomorrow and ask for a small refund atleast! every little helps!
Elfangor
Apparently you have 7 days 'make your mind up time' on the phone ( although I thought the Distance Selling Regs was 14 days, but could be wrong) so if you are within that you have a good bargaining position

"Every little helps" you didn't buy it from Tesco's surely ?
well being a student in huge debt that is slowly rising means that whatever little i can save elsewhere will help to pay for more beers!
just got off the phone with Vodafone! they are going to credit my account! luv it when they actually listen to you....
Good News! I'm beginning to like Vodafone
Does anyone know if the Vodafone TP2's are SIM unlocked?
Dave
mines sim unlocked.. tried with a three sim and orange...both passed a call test
My one is unlocked too - was using it with T-mobile before my number was ported.
I'm also pleased with Vodafone so far, and there coverage seems better than T-mobile so far where I live in Aberdeen.
hello guys im new here . yesteday i finally bought my desire in canada from telus and i was in rush so i didnt bother looking the phone at store. so when i went home. the sealed was open and there was finger prints on it and i wanted to unlock it to rogers. and i went to 5 different unlocking place they couldnt do it and last guy told me that it might be a refurbished phone thats y it cant be unlock. and i call the place i bought from they said if there is any problem with it will switch it for u. im gonna fight to get a new desire i waited long for this day to come and it all went wrong for me i dont even know what to do. cuz at first i dont think cellphone places are aloud to sell some phone that is used by other people. cuz i dont know what they did with it and i dont feel comfortable with it. any1 any suggestion what to do?
Take it back, they are obligated by law to sell you a brand new unit unless they stated the goods were second hand.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
In the UK we have a contract cooling off period and we could return it even if there was no fault and for no reason. then we could simply buy from somewhere else. Surely there is something similar there or have you bought the phone out right.
No. I signed a 3 year term.
You have 2 weeks (10 business days) to return for any reason. If this was purchased in Canada and the contract was longer than 3(??) months you can get a refund without any questions. I worked at a gym when i was younger and if you purchased a 1 year membership you could cancel it within 2 weeks due to a federal law.
So what happened? You return it?

Alot of UK Phone Company's have a get out clause
In the Small Print on the Contract you sign, they have, if the Seal or the Sim Card has been broken and placed in the Phone you are obliged the contract and there for no longer have your 15 day cooling off period
I had this issue with one phone, and i spent months fighting,
I was able to cancle the contract in the end but that was because i made so many complains about my account and soo many changes where made on my account,
that there was a problem with my billing and the issue was not resolved within 14 days (In there small print)
And was there for in my right to cancel my contract and no pay and cancellation fees or remaining days on the contract
But Yes, It would seem that when that Simcard Seal is Broken or the Card is Activated, your stuck into that contract
hey i got my desire from telus as well on the day it launched. it was brand new so not an issue. i also got it unlocked from but not from those small booths in the mall, i got it from cellunlock. theres a 50% coupon too, if you need it. at first i was skeptical cause i didnt get the code right away but they updated their db, and now its all good, and im running it unlocked.
weird part was that the phone asked me to put in the unlock code more than once, for 2 different things. it worked using the same code.
also i have it rooted and using the leedroid rom 1.8b for now
Its quite possible that when they recieved it, some eager salesman (like myself) wanted to take a look at it and turned it on. I do that with all the new devices if I have not had a sneak peek at one by time launch day comes.
If you want, PM me and I will look up the date of first activation to confirm your unit in fact is new. Other than that, you can go into the store you purchased it at, say it keeps freezing, random reboots and that the battery life sucks and get them to exhange it under TELUS' 30 day DOA exchange program. But make sure its set up the way when you purchased it. You shouldnt get any hassles.
Hope it works out for ya!
i got the brand new 1 finally . i returned that 1 and unlock it . the fastest phone ive ever owned even faster than my bros iphone 4
Why are the unlock codes like 30-40 dollars? shouldn't it be like 15 dollars max?
