[Q] Trying Sim-Unlock This Phone - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So far I have tried everything to get this phone sim-unlocked. I bought this phone from Mexico cell phone provider Telcel but I haven't had the best luck in sim-unlocking this phone.
I have tried celfservices and cellunlocker to unlock my phone but couldn't.
Does anyone know any other website that can potentially sim-unlock this phone. Or any other method to get it to work on other cell providers.

Contact Alejandrissimo or Blagus. They'll unlock the bootloader for something like $25. Unlocking the bootloader implies that the phone gets sim-unlocked as well. Alejandrissimo is Mexican, so he'll probably be able to help you even further with Telcel's misdeeds.

Cellunlocker? That's where I unlock 2 phones for 8$ each.. I dunno what did you do to make it not work for you, they will just give you an unlock code and enter to your phone with sim of your choice..
Oh well as logseman said, just try to contact those person if you also want to unlock your bootloader.. Goodluck..

I bought the phone brand new so I didn't do anything to it. Oh well I rooted the phone, but that's about it.
Cellfservices told me unlock code couldn't be found and refunded my money. And the website I just got an email from paypal that they refunded and that's it. No explanation.
Wells thanks everyone. I will try to ask him for help.

* cellunlocker was the second website I tried ,but paypal just send me an email about a full refund. So I am guessing they couldn't do it either.

Htc hd 7 unlock

Is there any other way to unlock an HTC HD 7 without using Chevron?
Yes, Via IMEI unlock
Can you post instructions for a free or very cheap method of doing this? I have 2 HTC HD7 phones from T-Mobile, but am not a customer with them anymore and they will not provide the unlock codes unless I sign up for service with them again.
I want to use the devices with AT&T now.

can get the cheapest code on ebay, it will be around $18-$22
i'm not a really pro developer but i suspected those bugs before.. finally a real developer suspected that.. eager to see who's going to help fixing them
call tmob and tell them your going to europe and u need your phone unlocked.
I can unlock and root both of them with my XTC clip. Contact me at xmoddz.com or pm if interested. Although this requires you ship them to me
find someone that has tmobile account and ask them to request an unlock for your phone
Try google

[Q] Sim Unlock SGH-T989D

Hey guys,
Sorry if this question has been asked over and over already. I tried searching but cant seem to find a definite answer.
Is there a way to SIM Unlock the TELUS SGH-T989D? I already tried the unlockers on the market, including the ones that need Root, but they arent working.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance.
PS. For Telus S2X owners, how did you sim unlock your phone? (which website did you use to get unlock code)
i know that the t-mobile version which i think is in the same boat, needs an unlock code that you have to get from your carrier or a website. I used a unlocked website cellunlock.net and use the discount code android50.
i also did my research and this was the only answer i could find
Obviously you simply need a unlocking code to unlock this phone. I unlocked it on the spot from a phone store that was not from telus but all he did was that he made a phone call to request for a code.
AT&T skyrocket phone users have trouble unlocking their phones because AT&T claims that their phones are specifically designed for their carrier only which I think is probably untrue.
Anyway, I did unlock my LG G2X using a site called unlockthatphone.com at $15. Try that site. Also, I think it is a good idea to call Telus as well directly.
Pickup the phone dial 611. Ask t-mobile.. Tell them your going somewhere outside the country and you need unlock code.. It should arrive 3 to 7 days in your email you give them.

Thanks guys. I just went ahead and got the unlock code from a website for $20.

[Q] Any way to sim-unlock HTC Wildfire S for free

Dear All,
sorry if anyone has asked this already.
Is there a way to unlock HTC wildfire S from Three (UK mobile provider) for free.
To be honest, I don't even mind paying the 15 US dollars for a online unlocking service, but I tried this already yesterday and the dudes from htcsimunlock.com (or whatever that is) told me that they cannot provide me with an unlocking PIN.
Also, I rooted the phone yesterday, but this didn't solve the issue.
Any comments will be highly appreciated.
Thank you

i guess you wil have to s-off .. for s-off you can gogle for XTC clip you may find a cheap used one on ebay or amazon or may get it on rent some where in your locality..
Try to make contact with your service provider Three, in my country some service providers give unlock code for free
Although not recommended, I took a shot at an eBay service to unlock mine. They did provide the correct PIN but took them a while (2 days actually ). Give it a shot if you want to, they provide a refund if they can't get it done as well..

[Q] Any reliable paid Sim Unlock code providers?

I have been trying to purchase a SIM Unlock code for my Wildfire S locked to Iusacell in Mexico, I have tried 2 providers and the code does not work (Both gave me the same code). First I tried HTCSimUnlock.com, they asked for more money, then gave me code that does not work, never answered support ticket. I had to go through paypal to get my money back.
Today I tried Unlockitnow.com (I had used them in the past and had no problem), received the same code and I am in the process of trying to get a Refund.
Does anyone knows a reputable company to purchase the code? or do I have to go through the xtc clip route, it is very expensive and I don't know any service providers in mexico to do the Unlock.
Thanks for the feedback
All I can say is XTC. Find a second hand one.

[Q] T-Mobile UK unlock code for HTC One X?

Hi people.
Just bought myself a HTC One X locked onto T-Mobile network.
I want to use it on Orange UK.
Anyone know if the SIM unlock codes are available?
Every site I go to advise me that the codes aren't available yet.
Is there another way of being able to use my orange SIM with the HTC One X?
Thanks
There are people selling the codes on Ebay, and there is a Tread (closed though) of people who have successfully used these services: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613613&highlight=unlock+code
Check ebay though as they are some for as cheap as £4.
Nice one gaiden, I'll give it a go.
Thanks for help.
A novice like me needs all that I can get!!
Aaaah, just realised why I'm struggling. Apparently the phone has to be at least one month old for IMEI to be registered on server. That means the waiting game......
Cant you just phone tMobile and ask them for a subsidy pin ?
ermmm tmobile and orange are the same company.... is the card being rejected out right?, i can switch between orange and tmobile with no problems with my tmobile card, and my wife has a locked wildfire s to tmobile that happily runs a orange card.
Yeah tmo and orange are now the same network. You shouldnt need to unlock for this.

That is the exact reason why I bought the phone, thinking Orange & T-Mobile have merged into one.
The thing is they share their network coverage but they are still two seperate companies.This was confirmed by Orange UK. And T-Mobile won't deal with me because I don't have an account with them.
So I need to find someone who does have one, or set one up (which I don't want to do).
All the official HTC Unlock sites don't seem to have code available and give me a refund straight away. I'm going to try a couple from EBay this morning to see if they're any better.

T-Mobile will only unlock a handset that is registered to the account. I.e purchased with the number at the same time, as imei's are linked.

What method did you try ?
the ebay unlocking method worked fine for my t-mobile phone,
Unlock codes!?
Am I missing something,
If you flash an RUU rom surely that will unlock it?
I presume using Ebay Unlocking techniques also risk voiding warrenty?

Flashing a custom ROM does NOT SIM unlock the phone. Unlike unlocking/rooting, SIM unlocking does not void your warranty.
I've used HTC SIM Unlock before and they always been to work. They have a money back guarantee as well. Never trust those unlockers on eBay. I've been scammed too many times. http://www.htcsimunlock.com/#oid=1096_1
Your other option could be to get a PAYG sim card and call them from that. They might unlock it for you as you would have an account with them then?
I never thought of that, ie, getting a PAYG SIM card. Should have done that! Anyways, after many unsuccessful attempts in getting the phone unlocked (the number of refunds I got on my Paypal, I had numerous security checks on my card!), I eventually got hold of the person I bought the phone off. He's kindly got in touch with T-Mobile UK, and for £15-32, they'll unlock it for me. It will take between 10-28 days, so I'm expecting it to come through some time this week at the earliest. I know it may be dear, but I also know they will be able to unlock it, as its their network.
Anyways, thanks for all the help guys!
I just unlocked my one x at unlockcode4u.com and as I made a video they just refunded me, so eventually I didnt pay anything.
My HTC one X is the best phone ever
