Can anyone help me??? I have a problem with this device. I bought it in the USA and when I tried to connect it to a network here in Guatemal, they say that the phone is block by T-mobile from de USA. An the other thing is that I talk to T mobile USA to see if the can give me the code to unlock the phone, and they say that I have to sign in with them at least 6 months so I can use the phone??
Any one knows how to unlock the phone???
By the way I am kind of newby in this area.
Thanks
Your phone is locked to tmobile and will only accept a tmobile SIM. Yes you need an unlock code.
Check ebay.com there is one guy on there who says he can get unlock codes. I have not experience with him but if you read his feedback it seems like he can get them????
Good luck, not saying to go this way but right now your ipaq is useless and this is the only way I know of to unlock it.

Okay I know im going to get blasted for not searching but this is an emergency. I need to know how to sim unlock a Dash with a code or a n00b friendly program. I dont have the phone in hand and have to walk the customer through the steps over the phone. Can anyone help with this.
Hope this has not been asked somewhere else, but I bought used Tilt form a co worker, was told by AT&T that there should have been 5 tries to unlock, when I got it there were 3. I used 2 got one left. The IMEI # on the phone and when checked for electronically are the same. The unlock code was verfied sevaral times through AT&T and I have a european sim in it. And am unable to unlock. When the phone starts up it takes you directly to the unlock screen. Any idea why I cant unlock this? 1 try left and its not good for Europe!!!
do I need to follow the kaiser sim unlocker post?
alot more complicated then what I was hoping
Hi,
I would like to unlock my T989. Although I've bought it at full price from Walmart I've got an email from T-mobile saying that "The device was not purchased from a T-Mobile USA retail store or authorized T-Mobile retailer." and I've decided not to battle them for 3 months and just do it myself.
I'm a newbie and the following questions might be silly.
1) I understand there is a software by z3x that unlocks the phone. Do I need an extra hardware for it (what is the z3x-box)? If so, what kind?
2) If I root the phone, will it be immediately unlocked?
3) Is there a free method to unlock this phone (assuming I'll root it successfully)?
Thanks!

Option 3!
You can do it yourself, just follow the simple instructions :

You could always just take the simple way and tell Tmobile your taking a trip to mexico in 3 weeks (Cuz itll take 2 weeks at the max for the manufacturer to send the code to tmobile) and you want to use a prepaid service down there but dont want to buy a new phone. I just did this today, but act like you dont know much about sim unlocking to be on the safe side. The lady tried to get my to buy a new phone from tmobile down in mexico or just let my phone roam and get international charges and i told her "Well im trying to use the same phone with a prepaid service down in mexico so i wont have to have any additional charges when i come back, I herd something about most phones being locked so will i be able to use the prepaid sim on my current phone?" and after that she mentioned sending me an unlock code.. She tried to play me like i didnt know anything about sim unlocking by telling me my options were buying a new phone down there or letting the charges rack up. Then tried to cut the conversation off short this was in the online chat. But if you keep asking questions and explaining you dont want a new phone or to let them add charges theyll eventually tell you about unlocking your phone and ask for you imei and email then youll have to wait for 2 weeks.
Hope i helped a few people, I tried the method above and it didnt work for me. So i took the longer route that will forsure unlock your phone. :good:
Curiously enough, I'm currently abroad.
I don't have a t-mobile account. I don't even need one according to their website. It's just annoying. But I feel like I'm tilting at windmills.
"If you paid full retail price for a device, you qualify to have the SIM subsidy unlock code provided you meet the following requirements:
The device must have been purchased at a T-Mobile retail store or authorized T-Mobile retailer.
The device must be paid for completely. You must be able to fax the proof of purchase to T-Mobile."
In any case, as I didn't get an answer in the other thread, do you happen to know
1) How do I boot into recovery mode? and how do I choose to flash a radio? Do I need to install a specific recovery software? I would really appreciate if somoeone will able to post a detailed "unlocking for dummies" guide, starting from an unrooted phone. A medal of honor will be given if the guide will start from a stock, unrooted phone.
2) I understand the latest version of the radio is UVLI. Should I use it or use the one that comes with my phone? (I would like as few problems as possible)?

You have step by step details in the post mentioned by DupleX01.
- install recovery
- install radio SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio
- unlock the phone
- done
- you can change the radio again (look in the dev area for several radio packages that work with T989) - optional if the phone works well

Cheers!

But... I live in Mexico, my company is at&t (still iusacell). Currently the phone asks you to enter a t-mobile sim to use this function and videocalls do not appear to me.
