code to unlock the phone different from the original Carrier - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi everyone
I'm brand new in this forum ,and i found this web quite good and interesting
so I'm going with my question
Some days ago I was in Republic Dominican and I bought from Claro carrier RD a Xperia-X10 ,but normally I move a lot arround the caribean area and I'd like to unlocked it, so do I have to buy a code to unlock the phone that it depends from Claro Republican Dominican carrier?
,I was thinking that providing the IMEto have the code was enough + the tools and finish . but
I used to see people talking about code for the AT&T network , for the Vodafone etc
Could you explain me that ??
Can i buy a code from another Carrier to use it in my phone???
What is the impact?
What to do ?
Thanks

thx 4 this

I need help with my Ipaq H6315

Does anyone know how to unlock the ipaq? I bought mine a few weeks ago and had no idea that it only works with T-Mobile since I bought it online!
Now I can't use it because I live outside the US and I can't get the unlock code!!
Can anyone please help, tell me how to get the unlock code? and how to use it?
Thanks
i unlocked my friend's 6315...

ipaq h6315 unlocking
I bought my ipaq unlocked from ebay. the only known way to unlocK it is tobe a t_mobile subscriber and to osK them for the unlocking code. Ireceived my phone unlocked from the ebay seller and he also sent the unlock code. the Phone work with Singular sim card and with my vodafone Egypt Sim .

for unlock the MDA pro

I mailed to T-mobile for unlock my MDA PRO the mailed me a link to visit:
http://www.t-mobile.de/simlock/1,9645,13846-_,00.html
What do you think? :?:
Any chance of you translating it to english?
Nothing to see here
It says essentially: Insert a foreign SIM-card, enter the 8-digit unlock code (which you have to buy from us), soft-reset, and you're ready. However, you get the lock only after 24 months if you got the phone together with a T-Mobile contract.
I phoned T-Mobile today (In the UK) and was told that once I've had the phone 1 month, if I call them, for a small fee (£15) they will issue me the unlock code!
same for me as well. T-Mobile uk will unlock the phone after one month. Although funnily enough they unlocked my MDA III straight away.
I did ask why u had to wait a month, and they said it was just company policy :roll:
i received the code but its a 10 digit code can any one help t-mobile sent me to contract htc and htc said go to t-mobile
unlock?
Anyone found a way to unlock the mda pro already? all i hear is that people are working on it LOL
imei-check.com is also working on it.. but 2 weeks later still no sound.

MDA Pro unlocking
Hi everybody! I received my MDA Pro from Germany today, and it's sim-locked to th German T-mobile. I thought it would work with my local T-mob card, but it doesn't! :evil:
So I need to unlock it somehow. T-mob Ger does it for 100 EUR, which is a bit hefty, but seemded like the only choice so far. I asked the guy I bough the device from to send me the purchase receipt.
Since I'll probably soon void my warranty anyway (i.e. do the rom upgrade), I would prefer any less expensive method. Also, I don't really speak German, so getting the unlcok code from the German T-mob by phone would be a challenge anyway.
Now I read here that T-mob UK is more friendly i terms of unlocking. Do you think they would do my device, or they only do local machines? Do they check the IMEI?
Any help would be appreciated on this. Thanks!
ewhh
i did try the UK tmobile office. But you HAVE to have a tmobile contract in the UK.
So i found a mate in london who had that, he called and tmobile uk said it would take 28 days, also i am sure after they take off the 15 pounds it costs they will say sorry the imei is not from a phone you bought yourself with your tmobile contract.
Holland wont do it because they check imei too.. if it is not a dutch imei code they wont do it.
I am waiting desperately for a solution and would even pay 50 pounds if someone would unlock my tmobile mda pro.
I just hope imei-check comes with a solution before xmass LOL

The thing is, I didn't buy it in a shop, but from a guy in Germany. When he sends me the receipt (as he had promised to), I will find out how it was purchased. Chances are, of course, that it was a prolongation of a contract or something like that... :roll:
If not, I will certainly try to manage the unlocking with T-mob Ger, but without speaking German, this might be difficult.
@dvl:
Thanks for the info, looks like Britain is a dead end too. Rats. Now my only hope is imei-check. I unlocked an MDA III for a guy there once. It was quite simple and quick even with all the id verification business. I guess I wouldn't have to go through with that again. :lol:
Everyone pls keep us posted on possible unlocking methods!

I don't speak german either -... you have to try until you get an english speaker operator (I got it on second attempt). I hope that yours was bought without a contract.
Good luck.
imei-check does it
Update: I saw today that imei-check now offers unlocking for the Universal. However, it's only available as a mail-in sevice, and it's bloody expensive: 50 GBP in the UK, a lot more anywhere else (due to shipping). All this, plus you have to get it to them too... :roll:
This is not really any help for ppl outside the UK, and I read here that you can get an unlocking code there for 15 GBP from the provider, so this is not such great news.
Still, I wanted to let you know. :idea:
I will stick to the 99 EUR official unlocking from T-mob, especially since the guy who sold me the device offered to pay half of it and to get the code from T-mob. Yay!
How to get the unlock code from T-mobile Germany
Any BUSINESS Customer with a GSM Contract of T-Mobile Germany gets the unlock code for any MDA PRO within a couple of hour via e-mail for free.
If you can find a helpful guy who is (in this forum?!?!), he may help you out by asking T-Mobile Germany for the unlock code with your IMEI number.
Good luck

I don't know any business customers at the German T-mob, so I got my code - yesterday - through the guy who originally bought the device (with a contract). He also paid half the unlocking cost!

Hi,
just a questions....after the unlocking via the unlock code from the provider, if the phone will be upgraded or unbranded (for example I would like to leave out the T-Mobile customization and change the phone software with the usual I-Mate JASJAR) maybe can it have some problems with the unlocking code?
I hope that it will not be modified
Thanks for any replies.

Unlock Dutch Vodafone 945

Hi,
does anyone know how to unlock a Dutch Prepaid Vodafone 845 (aka Huawei Joy?). Of course, if needed, I am willing to pay for this.
Please let me know. I seems the fact that it's a Dutch one makes it difficult?
Thanks

Can you unlock my Dutch vodafone 845 ?
Unlock: Vodafone 845 = Huawei joy = Huawei u8120
Dear Jass,
If this works for Rub147 would you be so kind to serve me as well?
Thanks in advance (even if your answer is no ).
I will wait for your answer before I send you a PM.
Some other questions to everyone who's interested:
- Can this Phone be Rooted?
- Can you run another UI than the Vodafone one (i.e. Launcher Pro, Sense, etc.)?
- Alternative ROM already (Think not)?
I think this might be a super phone (for just 99,- euro's in NL: Wifi, GPS, camera, HSPDA, FM Radio, etc) if it can be tweaked, hacked, rooted and so on. With HTC sense as UI it will be a big hit , but the Launcher Pro beta (free) will do just fine instead of Vodafone UI.
Good luck to everybody
Hello,
How far are you guy's with creating an unlock code? If you succeed I'm interested too. And also willing to pay for it.
Greets Martijn

Cheers
