Contact T-Mobile on 150, it costs £15

yahwn
mate it is only 15 pounds if you have a tmobile contract in the UK, and they don't do foreign Imei numbers they just send you a letter telling to go to your own country.
As you notice above people are not situated in the UK. countries like holland germany etc ask way more and demand you to have a reciept or so..
Which we dont have or else we wont be asking here HAHA.
:twisted:

and
if you do think i am wrong..
this is my imei : 355195000479187
call tmobile and please get me the unlockcode.. i pay you 30 pounds for the code!!! 100% profit for you there mate :twisted:

where did you got your MDA Pro from ? and was it with or without contract ?

ehh
i got it from ebay several months ago LOL
was cheap (without receipt though), but i didn't mind. I will wait till a unlock tool comes out.. for now i am using it with a tmobile prepaid(pay as you go) works great.
It is not nicked, checked it with tmobile uk :shock: .
But i would be way more pleased to use it with my vodafone contract :twisted: (using a tmobile unlocked mda compact for that).

it s still not availabble the soft for unlock this spv

SIMLOCK
hello all
yes i desperately need an unlock tool for my MDA PRO!
want to use it with vodafone...........please help ..?!
thanks everyone!

I need unlock tool for my XDA Exec too
Learn from my friend that the set he bought for me at O2 retail shop is simlock

o2
true.. early versions of the O2 Exec. where simlockfree but the newer versions arn't .. shame..
anyway.. loving my mda pro loads.. even the new wisbar advance beta (wm5 cab) with the desktop pluging is soo cool and works already way faster.
Carrying my mda pro and a spv c550 around right now.. waiting for the day i can stop using the spv c550 and use my mda pro with my vodofone card.

I want my Qtek 9000 to be unlocked. Wizard can be unlocked now. But Universal need wait more while.

Unlocked my SPV-M5000 finally...

Orange contacted me today after 9 working days (they said 10) with my unlock code for my SPV-M5000, works like a dream. I've put my Orange SIM into my P910i and make the SPV my main handset. I was very surprised that Orange only wanted 20 quid out of me to get an code and not a year's line rental in advance which was the norm a few years ago.
I was considering IMEI-CHECK but they wanted 50 quid and wanted the actual handset to do it. No thanks!!

lucky you - trying SFR
lucky you ...
I will call SFR tomorrow (vodaphone partner) but i am hopeless ;-)

No reason to be hopeless, they will supply the unlocking code....as soon they get their hands on it .... and not for free 114 euros. But be patient......... It is likely that this is going to take them ages.
I know, i'm already in the queue waiting for it to unlock it and revamp my Qtek V1640 (universal) to the unbranded qtek 9000 romset with an extended rom embedding the necessary software to take full advantage of my orange subscription including live tv and all the 3g goodies !!!
Any help in this appreciated!!

So Please Help if you know anything[/b]

sim unlock for qtek 9000
hi sir
very sorry to hear that you are sad about ur phone been locked.
so many was written about it here and you can read there but no news for you .
any way for now there is not a soltion to unlock for free the unit
you can send it to uk and pay about 50 gbp to someone and then he will ship back to you for another 10-15 gbp
but i think its only a metter of days - weeks till the software will be out gd luck

Are you sure it is a QTEK 9000? They arent supposed to be locked to any operator?
What's going on here?

I have a Qtek 9000 locked to Vodafone UK and I would appreciate all help I can get to unlock it.. Here is some data of my phone.
ROM version: 1.13.62 WWE
ROM date: 09/29/05
Radio version: 1.04.10
Protocol version: 43.37P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.189 WWE

If it is locked to Vodafone, then it should be the V1640 not a Qtek 9000.
Have you tried asking VodafoneUK for the Network Unlock Code (NUC) ?

It is a Qteq 9000 I have all papaers and the original box. And I have tried to get an unlock code but all they say when I sent my IMEI number was that I have to wait for 12 Months to get the unlock code.
Since I bought the phone on Ebay I have problems to get any help. Even though the advertisement said it was Unlocked and when I got it I tried with my phonecard that is Telenor (Norway) then it just want me to type in the simlock code.

I never thought VOdafone would be selling QTEK 9000's
At any rate you have to wait 12 months starting from when? As you bought the phone from Ebay and not directly from Vodafone, how does vodafone know when the 12 month ends?
Also, i heard that it is 12 months if you wanna get the code for free. Can you pay a certain amount to get it now?

I have to apologize to you.. I just got the box and it says vodafone 1640 :shock: Have I been swindled since the add said it was a Qtek 9000 and it looks the same?

Yes, you probably have been "swindled". The QTEK 9000 is never locked as it didn't come from a phone operator. So is the Imate Jasjar never locked.
You essentially go a Universal thru Vodafone which is definitely locked by Vodafone.
I believe the V1640 is supposed to be silver, right? The QTEK is all black like the O2 except the keyboard light is red as in the O2 it is blue. The jasjar is 2 tone, black and grey

Yes it is silvere colored, but is it possible to unlock it with some software?
When I put in the Vodafone card that came with the phone all windows program and my navigator works fine, but I want to use my own phone card.

if you put NO sim card, it will work except the phone part.
Now aside from paying for the NUC by asking it from Vodafone, or waitig the 12 months, there are some people you are offering these services BUT, yes, BUT you have to physically send them the phone.
There are people here who are working on a unlock tool for the universal but that may be ready in about 3 months or could take until end of the year.

So you say that if I take contact with Vodafone UK and give them some money, they will send me a code to unlock my phone?
I have been in contact with Vodafone Sweden and they told me that I had to wait for 12 Months, I gave them my IMEI number and the only answer I got was that in 12 Months they could me with a code.

Let me explain a little.
I bought my QTEK 9000 for €900 because it is not locked.
Now VODAFONE locks their device and sells it a lot cheaper (less than 600€) because you can only use the phone on their network so your phone use subsidizes the cost of the phone.
After 1 year, you can ask for the unlock code FREE OF CHARGE.
Now to get the unlock code before the 12 months, you have to PAY because vofafone will not be able to subsidize the discounted price.
Normally just ask them how much to get the unlock code now. I believe it can run from somewhere between 40€ to sometimes even more than 100€ but i am sure you will still be ahead of what i paid for, right?

Well I just paid 365 GBP for my phone.. So it's not that bad if I have to pay some fee to Vodafone. I will take contact with them in the morning.
Thanks for all help.

No problem, happy to help....

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.

http://www.imei-check.co.uk/

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).

using O2 uk sim in vodaphone uk desire

Hey guys i should get my new desire this friday i want to use my O2 uk sim in it so two questions will a vodaphone uk handset be sim locked? second will i need o2's setting to get the internet ect working if so can any help me out there? thanks in advance.

Vodafone don't SIM lock their phones anymore

Where did you get your vodafone handset? I got mine through CPW which is unlocked and unbranded, although I think phones on Vodafone in general are unlocked.
You will have to manually setup your internet with O2's settings.

20 pcm with free phone and car charger had a walk around my town today and only cpw had in stock @ £30 pcm so just to have a second hand set next to my HD2 was a sweet deal!
