Unlocking

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?

Ask your provider to give you an unlock code, just tell them that you are going to be using you phone over seas and that you need it sim unlocked. I did that with T-Mobile and they said they would email it to me. It took about a week because they had to get it from HTC.

i called tmobile last night and asked for the code...they took my imei number and said i will get an email in a few days

Thank's adeway234, but I don't buy this HTC direct from provider who are "Boigues Telecom" (BT) I think, and for that, an unlock code will be hard to find.
Thank you anyway.

It's actually Bouygues Telecom, which is a french provider

To Angelgolp.
Im not shure for that, maybe is British Telecom, but I think is not important for me, I buy this phone second-hand and I wish to unlock them, I can't call to provider

Just try - this will not hurt you .

To litleclown
I think it was a joke from you

My post is to voicu_ady - there is no pain about asking some telecom for unlock code.

OK, Thank you very much!

contact jockyw2001, he can solve this for you (but isnt for free)

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?

Tilt 2 needed to be unlock

Someone can please help me to unlock my tilt 2 for free?

Sim unlock that is

if your nice enough, at&t will give u the unlock code, just call them and tell them your going overseas on a business trip for a week or so and they'll provide you with the code.

There is an excellent program, here, which will SIM unlock your device (among other, more technical unlocks) but it's only free if you meet the requirements listed in the first post. If you don't meet the requirements, it costs 10 British Pounds or 14 Euros (~18 USD). Unless you really need the extra features of this program or can't get an unlock code from AT&T, I would stick to fone_fanatic's method in post #3.

[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.

I think SIM Unlock is not possible without S-Off...
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.

I successfully used cellunlocker.net on my previous hox and it was a tuff one as 2 other sites failed. Actually even they failed first attempt and I believe I had to try their 'alternate method' which worked. Took a few days though.
