I am looking to get a sim free vodafone touch pro 2 off ebay. I already have an o2 sim.
Are they easy to unlock? I have read something about qmat and goldcards?!?
If I just took it to a vodafone store would they unlock it and for how much?
On my nicked xperia (hence the sim) I used hard spl (it didn't need unlocking tho I just wanted the newer firmware).
Vodafone TP2 is already unlocked....you can stick any chip in there
I have Tmobile and Orange and they work fine
Thanks. Looks like it may be a buy then.

I bought an orbit on Tuesday, and I'm using my Orange Sim in it until my number gets ported, so my handset is unlocked.

I have an orbit from an o2 shop. I also have my Orange sim in it untill my number gets ported. Therefore - I'd say they're unlocked!
My experience is that all O2 phones have been network-unlocked. Certainly the last 6 I have had were.

I would like to differ.. The XDA2i I had was locked to O2. I bought a XDA Exec in July. That is unlocked out of the box.. Seeing the discussion on the thread, it seems that O2 have adapted a strategy of leaving their phones unlocked for some reason..
Mine was open on all networks as I am using my T-mobile sim in it!
Playing around with a spare Virgin Mobile simcard with O2 sourced phones:
Orbit unlocked
XDA2i locked
Exec unlocked
Mini S unlocked
iPaq 6915 unlocked
Nokia 6280 unlocked
Motorola Razr unlocked
Well I've put a Virgin SIM in mine straight out of the box from O2 and it works so it's definitely unlocked. The only problem is that it says T-Mobile on the screen for network - odd!
^^They all do that sir
IME unless the phone is Virgin branded it will display T-Mobile (who Virgin lease their virtual network from).
I'm thinking about selling my current phone and getting a Voda TP2 through my gf's contract, but I am on Orange.
Is it possible to sim unlock a Voda TP2?
ordered one today from MPD on vodaphone, the phone comes un branded and not locked to any network
Same here, best way to go if you don't have to upgrade.
Same here got my orange sim card in temporary until my PAC code comes through. anyone Know how long it normally takes orange to send out.
I had TyTN and TyTNII from Vodafone.
Great place to buy as they never give you grief over returns.
Neither of my devices from them came locked. I don't think they ever lock HTC devices.

hey!
I want buy a touch pro 2 (not matter if branded, the importat thing, it's that is unlocked and sim free).
i want to buy from england, or netherland...
any advice of in what be careful (for proper working and so)?
Hi. I have just purchased a "brand new sim-free unbranded" HTC Desire, however, when I inserted my o2 sim card and switched the device on I got a message that a different sim card was being used. I also had to select between three carriers being o2 contract, o2 payasyougo and Tesco Mobile.
Basically, my question is how can I check that my device definitely is sim-free and unbranded and not previously locked to a network?
Sorry if I am being vague or not supplying enough information. I otherwise love the phone and still trying to figure it out haha.
Many thanks
Scott
Your phone is working so its unlocked and it was just setting up your gprs settings
Don't know why anyone would pay out for a sin free phone. Because almost all pda phones you can unlock for free and debrand them as well
Sent from my spectrum zx
Unlock for free!?
I'd love to know how you network unlock the Desire for free?!! I've failed miserably despite buying a code.
Hi there, I have had my touch pro 2 for around 2 years now and have always loved the phone and bought it on contract from vodafone in the UK and live in England - Leeds and was just wondering if I could unlock this phone either for free or by paying? I dont mind paying if thats what I need to do but free would be nice also.
If I can do it for free can you possibly tell me how?
And if not, then can you give me a legitimate website where I can purchase an unlock code from for a cheap price?
Thanks in advance.
you can just search this site for " hard-spl" for RHODIUM or TOUCH PRO 2..
Also do a search for "task 29"
are you talking about sim unlocking and witch version phone do you have
You should also check Oli's thread you may be able to find what u need there
i also have a vodafone uk tp2 and to my pleasant surprise found it to be already unlocked when i tried an o2 sim.have you tried another sim card.
