Can you get me an unlock code for HTC s620?

I dont have a credit or debit card so cand pay through conventional means but I can offer services. I am a web developer and willing to help you out if you help me out. I hurt my Htc Touch sniff sad story so i am lumbered with my backup s620 but cant unlock it tried every forum in the world or close to but cant find it its more unlockable than the iphone lol. Anywhoo bak on topic. Would one of you kind peeps be as kind to sim unlock my phone if ya can email or post here or pm me (email : [email protected])
thanks for looking
I would have helped you but unfortunately, I myself don't know of a free unlock program nor do I have the skills to unlock it. I wish i did. Just yesterday, I was thinking it'd be nice if there was a free sim unlocker for our phones but as of now there isn't. If you want a cheap, unlock service then search for Excalibur SIM unlock. Otherwise, google IMEI - check which will cost you approximately 40$ to SIM/CID unlock your phone. That's how I did it. Good Luck!
thanks for the reply as said i dont have a debit or credit card and paypal are picky lol. thanks anyways
Or you can post in the thread of unlocking the phone... here it is... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355789 maybe you can get a deal worked out.

Sprint Phone To Work With AT&T

Hello,
thankyou for taking the time out to read this.. i have a question, I have an htc FUZE (touch pro) flashed with energy rom leo and my girlfriend has the htc Tilt 2 (touch pro 2) flashed with energy rom leo. oops that totally besides the point.lol just wanted to brag a lil anyways my friend came across a touch pro 2 from a barber, he held on to it for a few days before he decided to call sprint and activate it.. so when he does the phone is reported lost or stolen and he cant do anything with it, or can he? im thinking if i can take it off his hands and unlock the SIM can i use it? its a sprint branded htc touch pro..or is it a paperweight now?
Thanks in advance.

I think you can if you sim unlock it and also even then you still cant use 3g speeds but can use the edge
Man I hope theres a way. if so i know he'll sell it to me CHEAP anyone know what to try? or point me in the right direction? im looking at SIM unlockers? am i warm or cold?
If I am not mistaken the Sprint version of the touch pro does not have a sim card,( I may be wrong ) and if that is the case then no it cant be used on a sim card based network.
Was not gonna say it but.....Not the right section. This really doesnt have anything to do with rom development.
actually it does have a sim card i seen underne
HTML:
ath the battery compartment already and i see a white sim looking card in there. ill see the phone in a few hours ill take a pic n post it up. also sorry will a moderator please move this to the correct forum.
yes my sprint tp2 has a sim card. pay to get the sim unlocked and there you go.

I was aware that the Touch pro 2 had a sim slot, he has a Fuze\Touch pro
Ok I was wondering if I remembered right. Here is a convo on this same subject found with a simple search
http://eliteeternity.com/elite-tuto...-sprint-touch-pro-to-mighty-rom/#comment-1741 hi admin
you are doing an awesome job. i just had a question. it may sound stupid enough, but i am a noob. so there you go
i just got sprint touch pro. i use att carrier, is it possible to unlock touch pro to be used with att.
sprint is cdma, while att is gsm. can it be swapped? that is use sim card of att on sprint’s htc touch pro?
would appreciate if you could throw some light on this.
thanks

No. That is IMPOSSIBLE. There are GSM, and CDMA Phones. There are also hybrids with both GSM and CDMA. (the touch pro 2 will be hybrid)
The Sprint Touch Pro does NOT have a SIM card slot, and the GSM version does. Sorry Mike, but you’re screwed.
This is the very reason CDMA folks want an iPhone or something similar so bad. Because you can jailbreak an ipod (see fluffyphones.com if you want to) and use with AT&T or T-Mobile. But not Verizon or Sprint.
Sim Card Slot In CDMA Phones
The Sim Slot on your Sprint phone is for Contact use. The Sim Slots in CDMA Phones are for storing Contact Information Only.
Dammit i was hoping it would work, o well ill just have to wait and shell out the cash for the tilt 2. thankyou everyone.
I think the OP is saying that his friend found a TP2 (NOT a Touch Pro), and wants to unlock it. This thread here (started by Olipro) shows how to a security unlock and flash a patched radio onto the Sprint TP2 so it works on AT&T. Pocketnow also wrote an article and created a video concerning just that. However, the OP should not use these techniques if it is indeed a Touch Pro his friend found. Otherwise, it should work absolutely fine.
YAY i think were getting warm. My Friend NOT ME has a Sprint Touch Pro 2, that is reported stolen or lost. He didnt know that it was in that condition as his intentions were to use the phone. well he cant activate it, so he's offering it to me. but i have AT&T and im wondering if theres a way i can use it? even though its reported lost or stolen through sprint? THankyou
Am I the only one that think the phone shoud be taken to Sprint so they can return it the it rightful owner?
Come on, it just the right thing to do.
Maybe there's some BS on having contacted Sprint in the first place.
NAY.. cmon man if given the oppurtunity would u pass up a phone like this if it was offered to you for less than 100$$? i already have a HTC FUZE and my Girlfriend Has the Htc Tilt 2 so really its not a need its more of a want. And what he chooses to do with the phone is none of my business.. he's simply offering it to me becuase he bought it off a barber didnt ask no questions.. tried to reactivate it and thats when he ran into all the problems.. so im really his last resort to make sumthin back from his money.
i sim unlock verizon storm and used it on tmobile so the tp2 should work as well...sprint selling it as a worldwide phone so thats why theres a sim slot so if u travel outside the country u can buy a pay as u go sim card...s0 just unlock and use it on any gsm network

How would you feel if you lost your phone and come on this forum and see someone getting around the system to activate your lost...most likely stolen phone. (which it is at this point is stolen since you are planning on keeping it)
The technical idea of changing the radio is a cool idea for developers but if warez is banned on this forum then so should this thread on "how to steal a sprint phone and use on ATT".
This is a scumbag thread right here.
"How to re-up a stolen phone." WTF?
I agree... there is a large element of douchbagery associated with using someone's lost phone.
"Finders keepers" is fine when you are 10 years old.

Sorry. I know I'm not Mr. XDA or anything, but this place is where a bunch of cool people figure out complicated things and share their knowledge with others purely out of goodwill, and you come here asking them to advise you on how to make a stolen phone work. You're a class act, pal.
wow keep bashing man if u must know my phones are through [email protected] so do me a favor and im asking nicely.. if you have nothing nice to say dont say nothing at all. i was simply asking for some technical support to see if it would be worth my time n money to invest in this phone. otherwise.. act your age not your shoe size k.
You're asking nicely, and I'm saying "no," nicely. What you're looking for will enable the larger stolen phone market, but you don't see that, do you? No, no, you just "want" to have a better phone at the cost of the poor sucker that it was stolen from.
So, yeah..... no.

[Q] I own a Verizon Galaxy Nexus that is CDMA/LTE not GSM. Can i switch providers?

hello all..
i searched as much as i could around the forums and google before positing this question.
i want to change providers. from verizon to whatever possible (tmobile or straight talk even) because verizon says i owe them $700. i havent had verizon service since then (6+ months) because i refuse to pay that. I am just using hotspots and im VERY tired of trying to find a mcdonalds or free wifi.
so im wondering if i can switch providers with a CDMA? Everywhere i looked (google) it says its not possible with CDMA only GSM.
Please help me! I apologize if i didnt find the original post similar to mine...
thanks
You're correct. You can NOT use your CDMA Nexus other than Verizon. In other words, you have to find new phone in order to use on different carrier.
Your phone will only work on verizons network. You will need a new phone one way or another.

hey guys... thanks for your help i appreciate it.
since i cant use this phone (verizon wants $1100) is there a good trustworthy place online to sell this phone?
BuyMyTronics(DOTCOM) says they would give me a little over 100 for this phone. im desperate but not desperate enough to put my personal name and address in their form without the website being https:// or ssl...
are there any LEGIT companies out there that i can trust?
haha, good luck with that. Past due bill with verizon means your phone is blacklisted. Basically you'll be selling a pretty much useless (Bad ESN/IMEI) phone that nobody else can use either.

you now have a bad esn phone, so it will be tough to sell.
also, your credit will take a hit and you will go to collections... but thats a story for another day.
