40 bones doesn't seem a worthy cost. Someone should hack a free version.
Guess there aren't that many People really interested. I"ve been trolling these Forums for the Dash for my girl cause she wanted to get off the Crappy Tmo rom but $40 ? lol she Might be outta luck lol

Anyone know how to unlock these devices. I have a line on a TMobile version but I am moving to Cingular and will need to unlock it.
Thanks in advance.
you can request the unlock code from t-mobile.
yea i'm in the same boat...the only thing is you have to be with tmobile for 3 months plus before you can request an unlock code
Hopefully, after the phone is out for a couple of weeks people will start coming up with customizations.
This phone has a lot of potential
This is unlike any T-Mo device that I have unlocked in the past (and I have unlocked several in my 6+ years with them).
I put in a request for a SIM unlock on 10/26 and they sent me an email yesterday saying that the unlock code must be requested directly from the manufacturer (HTC) and can take up to TWO weeks. And they said they cannot guarantee that it will be received at ALL!
This is weird. Right now I am abroad and the Dash is useless to me. Here's to hoping that HTC comes through and I can unlock this. If not, it's time to donate some more money to Buzz
the folk over at imei check have just released and unlock for the dash. Try it out and let us know how it works...good luck

No way in heck am I paying for an unlock. If I wanted an unlocked device I would have gotten a S620. This is an issue for T-Mo to sort out and they will.
Barring that, I would rather give my money in a donation to either xda-dev or Buzz. That's just me though. Not everyone has my patience...or thinking.
Just spoke to tmobile customer rep...they said 72hrs approx to find the code based on imei to unlock...however if the time period extends 72hrs its because they have to contact the manufacture to request the code...something tells me it will be the latter instead of the former...errrr

This comment makes absolutly no sense. Your willing to pay an extra $200 to have a device that is just SIM unlocked. The S620 isn't even CID unlocked yet. But you are unwilling to pay $40.00 to get a T-Mobile version both CID and SIM unlocked. Are you crazy? The T-Mobile code isn't going to CID unlock the phone for you.
one more thing. tmo told me that if you buy the phone from the tmo store, you have to wait 14 days for the return period to expire, before they can even address your unlock request.
maybe the rep was misinformed, but she looked into it.

This is true, I've done a search on t-mobile's support website for SIM Unlock. And the restrictions and policy says you have to at a minimum wait 14 days, It also mentions that your account must be active for longer than a 90 day period. And you have to wait a minimum of 90 between each unlock request.

It makes sense to me, dude
Dan, it's not about the money at all. I was referring to spending money on an unlocked phone in general, whether it was through imei-check or through HTC. Granted, it's less money to get it CID-unlocked but for me it's a matter of principle. I would rather spend my hard earned money on a community effort that helps all Excalibur users. I would gladly give $100 or more to Buzz if he can come up with a solution to help the entire Excal community. I don't even own a Universal, yet I donated to Buzz's cause in that effort.
You probably don't understand, but you don't have to. Like I said, it just needs to make sense to me.

I understand what you are talking about. I misunderstood you before....my bad.
I too would pony up money to have someone come up with an unlocker for Excalibur. The more popular the device is the more likely an unlocker will be developed.

I checked out the Universal Unlock from Buzz but it required you to Reflash the phone. I'm not sure I feel comfortable to reflash a brand new phone with out a garantee that it would work or that it wouldn't screw up the phone.
For that reason alone I think that the cost to have it unlocked is worth the 40.00 bucks. I too am a developer and respect the need to figure stuff like this out and support the efforts of others who are paving the way for others.

Hi guys,
T-Mo sent me the unlock code today. It's an 8 digit numeric code. So, my quest is over for the time being (until I need the CID unlock). I haven't tried unlocking the Dash since I am in Dubai at the moment and don't have it with me.
Incidentally, this place is a RIP OFF. The room in the Grand Hyatt is half a grand a night! And on top of that, the 'net access is not free (and costs $40). Stay away from this place if you love to save your hard-earned money.
CID vs. SIM
What is the difference between CID unlocking and SIM unlocking? Which of these apply to the Dash (as opposed to the s620)?
Thanks!

I have not been able to find T-MObile´s phone to call to SIM unlock my Dash. COuld any of you send me the phone #, please?
Thanks so much.
So what do the guys at imei-unlock know that we don't?
THIS forum is the place for all the WM geeks out there, this is where solutions are born! No-one has a homebrew process to retrieve/generate unlock codes?
Is it possible to do so? I want to use it on Cingular. If not then what do you guys suggest for unlocking? I am thinking gsm liberty is good unless you guys know any place that is cheaper.
-Thanks
I'm 99% sure that you can unlock it and use it on Cingular.
Yea, that i know. My question is is there a free way to unlock it like the hermes series or do i have to shell out $38?

I bought my unlock code on eBay for 28$ from dtdtwireless and it worked fine if you want to check him out.
if the phone is a tmobile phone, they'll unlock it for u for free.
Alright so they are all pretty standard on prices. 30-40 dollars. Ont the t-mobile thing, what would they ask if I called in? Keep in mind i dont have a t-mobile service. Or I can get a friend to do it but I want to train him on what to say first. You have any experience on calling them and asking for a unlock code?
ya i called in myself and did it, you gotta give them the imei number, and then they send it out, and then u'll recieve an unlock code within a few weeks ( i actually called in after like 2 weeks and they gave it to me over the phone, and then i recieved the email like 10 days later)
however i am a tmobile customer, but i'm pretty sure that you can give the phone to any tmobile customer and they can do it for u, as long as the phone is a tmobile phone. good luck
so you can 30-40$ and get it unlocked right away or wait like 2 weeks and do it for free

i have got a tmobile touch pro 2 and
im going to install hardSPL and use a cooked rom. if i install a custom rom than the sim lock will be unlocked or i still need to unlock the sim ??
ty for help
(sorry for englis )
i believe the only way right now is to pay for it. I paid olinex(?) for the unlock software and it was very fast and simple. it was only like twenty bucks. I just bought mine from craigslist for 300 and I really wanted to use it. best 20 ive ever spent and motivates me to conftribute more to the website.
Look at the first page of the rom development, I dont believe theres a free one yet.
as intruda119 said you have to pay for your sim to be unlocked. no matter what ROM you use your sim will still be locked.

For T-Mobile, you just call them and ask nicely.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588
You can tell them you are going to Europe and want to use your phone on the trip.
Got me the unlock code for this one.
The codes are cheap on eBay, as well.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Me too. I just asked nicely. I'm even on the installment plan. I never thought it would work.....the lady told me that she would put in a request and I got it in my e mail later that day.
Good luck
Sent from my SGH-T999
are they different for each device? if so how can you buy from ebay. if the code is universal no one wants to post it? I just don't understand how this works.
say you are going out of nation to tmobile.

It's a unique code for each phone. You send them your IMEI and they can look up your specific code from some database.

As somebody said earlier call t-mobile and talk nice and they might send you the unlock code but this will work only if the phoe is registered with t-mobile (bought from t-mobile)
Else pay for unlock code. many sources available on the web or may try a local dealer who may do it for you.
Good luck
Just read this...damn I was hoping you could unlock it like the G2 bummer guess I'll have to call. I thought you had to have the phone for 3 months though can anyone confirm?
Hi Everyone, i am new to xda so forgive my mistakes,
I have brought a htc incredible 2 form usa via ebay.com its ESN is clear but
i don't know how to unlock is for gsm use, I live in India and i will be using it here only,
i have seen that you people tell to call verizon and ask for the code but my problem over here is
that i should have a verizon account of good standing and atleast 60 days old( none i have)
so what to do how to unlock, i am tired of searching the internet but not able to find one,
also i can't purchase 12$$ code as it is very costly and also i don't have any means to pay in dollars
i have seen people talking about some chineese roms etc, i also have heard that unlock code can be calculated by
using LGE tool activated to setool, Kindly Reply Guys!
My mobile's IMEI is 3549740497661XX
Update: i don't have paypal, i will really praise the one from the bottom of my heart who can call to verizon from u.s with a verizon account
on my behalf or any sort of help will be praised! The real problem is that its not my mobile, i bought this for my sister
and she is going outside after 4 days and she will take this mobile with her and if its not unlocked before that i will
feel ashamed as my sis was telling to buy an unlocked one but i bought a locked one as it was very cheap in compared
to the locked one, so plssssssssssssssss guys HELP! Can anyone calculate the code with LGE tool on my behalf
Anyone willing to help PM me i will send the full IMEI

In eBay there's code for unlocking your phone.
