Query Regarding Getting the Desire from London

Well the topic is about the Desire and how to get it but I was not sure which forum to put it in so posted it here.
Well my Brother is moving to London for 2 years. Now he has his N95 (unlocked) which he would like to continue using as he has his paid apps installed on it and stuff.
Now he's getting a HTC Desire on contract. So If he uses the Contract Sim in his N95 and sends back the Desire to me here in India, I could unlock it and use it with any data carrier here in India right?
Yes you could unlock / debrand the Desire and use it on another network.

This reminds me of one of those Nigeria scams

He will be either on T Mobile or Vodafone
The network won't care right even if he's using his contract sim in his other unlocked phone?

Thanks a lot
Well I use vodafone here and as of yet there is no 3G so it might not make a differrnce. Any idea what 3G band is used in India though?

Thank you
Oh and one more thing.
Some guy on tech enclave was saying that if you unlock your phone using the unlock code the phone will once again get locked after I update my phone software to Froyo.
Is that true? I thought this only happened in iPhones? If it's true what are my alternative means of unlocking?
Thank you everyone
Simply re use the same unlock code you originally used to unlock the phone and you'll be fine.

That would work right? Or will they not let you re use the same code?
It worked for me when my phone was re locked after debranding, its worked for others on here too.

Could you tell me what site you or others used for unlocking the phone from which you could re use the key?
Anyone know How much would it cost in customs to get a Desire from the UK to India?

any sim

Quick question,
I've rooted my dhd, running a custom rom. So does this mean I can use any carrier simcard or is there some other steps to do this? Its unbranded on orange UK
Thanks in advance

If your DHD is unbranded as you say, obviously you can use any carrier simcard
Cheers, I've never had to put a different sim in any of my phones so I didn't have a clue

How to tell if handset is sim free or not?

Hi
Just bought a Note II, I was told it was a sim free model, and whilst its accepted my tesco sim card without issue when I log into google play on my pc its brought it up as an O2 Samsung GT-N7100 so the question is have I been sold a O2 handset thats been unlocked? I know it doesnt really matter that much but curious more than anything
Or is it possible tgey have flashed it with a o2 firmware my mistake?

You could try. Borrowing a friends sim and see if you can send a message. If yes, the you are likely sim unlocked.

The N7100 is the international version so it should be sim free.
To test your if your phone is unlocked, insert another sim card other than your "tesco". And if it shows enter sim unlock code, it is locked, otherwise it is unlocked.

Tesco runs on the O2 network. That is why, sometimes Tesco handsets will work with O2 Sim Cards only etc...
Yeah I know, hence why im looking to change o2 data coverage is shocking and I cant use sky go or tvcatchup using 3g as it comes up with some rubbish about saying im abroad...

ah ha, ive just stuck a voda sim in, and now when i log into play store on pc its showing as a Vodafone Samsung GT-N7100

[Q] Sim unlock Xperia M

Is ther a way to unlock my xperia M from my carrier?
tnx!!!
Sorry, but you can't unlock it yourself, even, when you have root. Mine one had simlock too, only Carrier, where you bought phone can unlock it. I called Orange to remove simlock, and after hour later I got the code, but this thing was really expensive. Why they're locking phones?!
they lock them as an insurance so you have to use their network its all about money as either way you have to pay to get it unlocked from a carrier

(Q) Sim unlock!

Hello guys! I bought a brand new HTC One M8 and it is sim locked! Can someone offer me some informations about removing this lock?
I searched through forums but i couldn't find topics related to this matter
Thanks!

If the phone has Lollipop on it, there is no "free" hack method that will unlock the SIM. In that case, your best bet is to try paid unlock services available online.
