Would you please share the "independent support team" number?
And secondly, what reason u told them to get it unlocked? (e.g. going aboard? I got Orange Sim? or??)
Greatly Appreciated and your help in this matter will not be forgotten

thanks
thank you so much..i will keep trying to call them..sometime is really hard to get a good one who willing to help u..everytime we called to service center they will actually make a record, am i right?

no not all the time if you get some one that will help you then they will make a record for the call.

I called 100 from the phone.
I had the same answers as well (21days/shop/not after12 months)
I called again and said I was going abroad and needed to use a local SIM card, he put me on hold for 5 minutes and then said it would be unlocked in 24 hours. Price 15£.
I'm not sure what will happen in 24 hours as, from what I am reading here, it is a lock on the phone not the network, Right? I should have asked him to give me the code over the phone?
I'll call him again tomorrow to see what's up.

02 XDA2s
was you given a unlock code for your unique device ?
or was it just working when they said it sjould be unlocked now
the reason i ask is 99% of customer service no nothing
Thanks

Yes you need to call them back and you will get your code
as for the £15 i did not get charged that at all
but its a small price to pay for a simm free phone that is still under warrenty

Same problem here, waited for 24 hours but nothing comes out, couldn't reach back the one who i've spoken to, even I've got her name, extention no., place of call center...really don't know hows the O2 CS working...Everyone gives me different answer.

i know its a big place but if you gave them your phone number it should be logged on the system.
Next time you call ask for a call ref
then they have to log the cal properly
i some times think that O2 CS dontdo there job as good as they sould do
Hope this helps

I called them again. Indeed they screwed up, They now told me that my request was logged but that it would take 21 days for them to retreive the unlock code out of the system.
The 24 hours timescale they gave me was to make sure that international calls were not barred on my SIM card.
I'm leaving for australia tonight unfortunately.

Can anyone unlock the MDA Pro?

Pls help, need to unlock my MDA Pro.

nobody seems to have come up with a solution yet, im awaiting the same too
For the meantime, as I cannot afford to wait since I need a phone, you can call Tmobile customer services and ask them for an MDA Pro Unlock code, which they will provide for £15, you just need to tell them your IMEI.

Lucky you!!
Just to help you understand how lucky you are:i own a sequel of qtek universal called QTEK v1640 by Vodaphone's partner network in France, SFR.
The phone is simlocked and if you want it unlocked you have either to wait until you possess the pda for 6 months and get teh code delivered to you free of charge, or shell out 114 euros and get the phone theoretically unlocked at once with an imei unlockung code.
That's what is said to happen, except when SFR tells you that the phone you are willing to unlock is not in their suppliers list, that their supplier asks you three times in arow for the imei to check it against his list; and still doesn't find your phones imei; Except also when witha phone branded to their networks name, sfr tells you that the phone wasn't supplied in apcking displaying all sfr trademarks, with a graphic interface chosen and locked by them, with stickers in the batterycompartment showing sfr and finally the sfr product id for this phone.
Now you see how badly i need a unlock tool for my Qtek9000 sequel .
Please focus on this tools as i need badly to unlock this phone at once.
Just to show you how lucky you are;
Arnaud

Get Creative
I think you should all be aware that very few operators actually currently possess IMEI unlock codes for the HTC Universal in their databases and will in most cases have to ask the factory in Taiwan for the code. All I can say is get creative....use the customer service number of an operator in another country and see if you can get your phone unlocked....I had mine unlocked for free within 24 hours. :wink:

yo yo still waiting to unlock my mda pro
because i want to use my vodafone
and in the meanwile i just wait
cause there must be someone to make a upgrade
haahah nice tune maybe 8) :lol:

Hi fslunatic,
can you tell us which operator and country we should try and especially what to tell the customer service. I guess somebody with Orange subscription will have problems to contact i.e O2. :?:
Thanks for your feedback.

yes I unlocked mine
Called T-mobile. Assistant did not know what I was aking. Asked a supervisor and then went thtough process from her training manual.
COst GBP 15 quid. and unlock code was recieved through the post.
No hassle

Hi MCT,
If you have an Orange phone then call Orange...if it's Vodafone than Vodafone. Some work cross-country some don't. Just tried to help someone here unlock with Vodafone but no joy. I have had succes with T-Mobile....cross-border. Sometimes it also depends on how helpful the person on the other end is. The best punchline to give them is to make sure they understand that they have nothing to lose by giving you the unlock code....that without the code you cannot even select their network to make sure they get revenue from your call.
Good luck!

I haven't bothered with the stuff on www.imei-check.com. I'm with T-Mobile USA, so I just called the customer care line and simply asked for my SIM unlock code. They gave it up for FREE. I don't know how BT works, but you could attempt to speak with one of their customer service reps.

Basically, it makes it possible for you to use other GSM carriers with your Dash. For instance, you can use an AT&T SIM card in your Dash and have their service should you choose to leave T-Mobile.
It benefits you if you decided to leave T-Mo for some reason or if you decided to go overseas and didn't want to be charged outlandish prices for coverage.
EDIT: To actually enter the code, you'll need to change your SIM card out for another from a different carrier. Once you do this, your phone will prompt you to enter the code.

hi mate, i have the bt s620 also, and have just unlocked 2 of mine with no probs, admittedly i paid for the unlock i think it was about 9 quid.
and worked both times perfectly.
its an ebay seller.
i dont want to break any rules by posting the link but if you want to PM me i will gladly give you his details, i got both unlock links from him within a couple of hours too.

u can try t-mobile.. and tell them..

ok deleted link cause i paid for it and it was a report on how to do it promptly got my money back after threatening to come round lol

All I can say, Try it out for yourself and post the result. If it works out, I hope it does then leave some feedback for others. Oh by the way, that's pretty darn cheap so give it a shot, you don't got too much to lose

Just to know....
Here in Brazil we can't receive unlock code, from our carries, unless we stay in that carrier for at least 1yr (18 months in some cases) or pays somethink like 2 times the real cost of the phone (and receive a pre-paid sim card). Even if you stays in it for this time, carries try to charge for this code (US$ 150 in some carries).
That's because we, here in Brasil, search for free sim unlock!
Then I ask: no way for free unlock, right ?
Thanks and sorry for my english...

occurs in Peru as in brazil, you have q 2 years minimum contract, to complete the same not unlock the phone you have to keep using the same carrier. why we need to unlock the phone, thanks

If you want to use a differen't carrier's SIM, the phone needs to be unlocked. AT&T does it for free if you're subscribed to their services, T-Mobile you have to be a member for 6 months. How to unlock, ask your carrier when you get the unlock code. With most it's simple, you insert a differen't carrier's sim card, hit "Unlock" when it shows invalid sim, and enter the code. Simple as that.

help
I went to the unlock site, paid my money, got the files, loaded everything, and now the phone just says searching. Nothing else. If I put the original Vodafone sim in, it works, but with 02 it just says searching.
Any ideas,
Vic

For you and all people here knows: In Brazil (and in Peru, as ****man said) we don't have AT&T!!!!!!
And our carries don't give us the unlock code, unless we pay much for that. Even if we stayed with 1 or 2 year contract!!!!!!!
And that's why we need a free unlock method!!!!!!!
So don't say to us to get unlock code from our carries, they don't give it to us.
The I ask again: somewere, somehow, exists any free unlock method ?

You seem a little upset. I've been looking for a free method and I haven't found one. You can either try to pay 40 bux or stick with whatcha got. What can you do about it?

T-Mobile USA/Telus T989 Samsung Galaxy S2 SIM UNLOCK

Can any one please confirm if Hercules is locked to Tmobile
Thx
AG

Yes! Got it today to use with provider other than TMO but SIM is locked...Looking for unlocking solutions now!

darn it!
thanks for the confirmation.
any idea if the SIM unlock method for the SGS2 works on hercules too?

Try the SGS Unlock app from Market. Let us know if it unlocks.

Ya its a real bummer!
If your talking about the one on the market. I was considering that but it says needs (root) superuser???
I called Tmobile 4 times already. First they said they dont give the SIM unlock yet because of the 14 day return policy, so I would have to call back after then. Calls two and three was "you dont have an account with us? Oh sorry we cant give you the unlock code then... Final call our asked for supervisor and they transfer me to Tech. department. Tech guy was cool and gave me a number to fax my receipt showing I paid full retail for two phones plus some add'l info for them to be able to get back to me. He allow them 24-48 to get back to me!!! But it could take as long as 7-14 days. I'm sure each and everyone of them was looking at the SIM code unlock screen as we was talking. BOO TMO!!!

is tmobile really selling the phone for 529.99$?
i checked wirefly and letstalk, they charging like 600$ !

i just bought my phone full price too. and i forgot to ask that girl for the unlock code. i got the phone with 30$ prepaid plan, if coverage is good enought i'm going to cancel att!

Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I can recall is..
You can only request 1 "sim-subsidy unlock" every 6 months. Your post paid account must be active for at least 30 days. Prepaid accounts must be active for 60 days with at least $10 balance in the account. If you purchased a phone at full price, you can fax in your proof of purchase to the "Blackberry & PDA support department" for a response within 24-72 hours.
I work for T-Mobile, I'll check the specifics the next time I'm at work.

That sounds about right on with what I was told. I dont have any sort of account with tmobile so I had to do the fax method so patiently waiting since 24 hours now.
Are they reliable to send if you did fax them receipt or do they still find a loop to say no?

This is exactly what you need to do. I called to do it but actually never did, though they sent me the code. I decided it was better for me to just keep my number active for emergencies when I went abroad.

Do any of you mind requesting the unlock code for my Hercules? I am not a T-mobile subscriber. My cousin tried to do it for me, but they wanted a copy of the sales receipt....I bought from a phone shop, not an authorized T-mobile store, so I don't think they will accept my receipt.

I tried to help out someone off of Craigslist before by doing this. You will have to allow someone you trust who is a T-Mobile customer to put their sim card in your phone for a couple of days for T-Mobile to pick up the phone. I tried getting the code by using the persons imei number and they accepted it and then sent me an email 24 hours later about my sim card not being in the phone.

i won an att fone from a radio station once and called att , told em im wit tmobile, and they still hooked it up with the unlock code

My NSPRO box unlocks it....

I tried going through the beaurocracy (or however it spells) of T-Mobile to get an unlock code, but never got one for various reasons. You're better off at least trying.
If you don't get it, cellunlocker.net is not a scam. I ordered an unlock code from them for my T989 and got my code within the day. All is unlocked and fine.

[Q] Sim Unlock

Hi guys! first, thanks for your time.
I'm going crazy finding unlock code for my HTC One X.
I bought it on December 2012, from Personal (Telecom) Argentina.
I tried almost all the Ebay publications an all claim to don't have the unlock code.
I tried also, some pages too. I don't have any problem to pay for "fresh db" or something but I'm traveling out of my country in 1 month, and I need the unlock code in order to use local company from the other country.
Anyone know a VERY good page for unlock?
Thanks again for your time, and hope you all have a nice day.

Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

The OP is right, SIM unlock is possible with the right code. Most people that did this bought it indeed from eBay. Maybe you can get some more info at your provider, or at least the provider where its locked to ?

Thanks for the quick reply guys.
My provider will give me the unlock code when the contract ends (in 1 more year).
I unlocked a lots of cellphones for friends, via ebay. But I don0t understand why nobody got the un lock code for my imei.
PD: I'm not asking for a software or rom for sim-unlock. Just good unlock pages to try (where you pay for the code).
Thanks again hope you have a wonderful weekend.
