Hi all,
Just seeking some help, I've recently got a HTC Mozart and I've upgraded it to unlocked Mango. Problem is I bought it locked to Orange UK and I'm with Vodafone. I've just today got an unlock code and it's worked in accepting the SIM card but there is no signal and I can't call anyone. My contacts and messages have come up though.
Any ideas of what the issue could be?
Thanks for Looking.
Pls post questions on the questions board or on the Mozart device board. Thanks.

Does it work with an Orange sim?
If not then its been reported stolen and the networks are blocking the IMEI.

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).
Hi I am after some help as i am new to unlocking and have a problem which I am not sure if it is something I have missed.
I have an old O2 XDA Mini S (Think that the HTC Wizard????) that I have unlocked using the lokiwiz2b then after this did not seem to work properly tried the 3a version.
The phone seems to be unlocked as I can put my tesco sim in it now and it is accepted but I can't seem to find the tesco's network (which is based on the O2 one). The phone can find O2 and Vodafone in the area but i cannot make calls on either but the Tesco network does not seem to be seen or known of by the phone? I can't even find it to select it manually?
Does anybody have any idea of how to select the Tesco's network or with tesco using the O2 network does anybody know if the phone should show as connected to O2 or tesco's on the screen? As the actual tescos phone which came with the sim shows Tescos on screen so i am assuming that the XDA with a tesco sim should show the same?
Any help greatly appreciated as I like my old XDA and if I could get it working with the Tescos sim it would be fantastic....
I bought an HTC Desire HD recently from the UK and it was sim free.
I live in Japan and I am a regular Softbank user with a different phone currently. I went to the softbank store today to get my old sim card changed over to the smart phone sim card, the guy said it would cost $25 to change to the smart phone sim.
But when he put it in to test it didnt get any network connection at all in my new Desire HD.
He did a check on the phone and he said it was because the phone is not from in Japan and that the Japanese sim cards at softbank are locked.
Is there any way to get my new UK Desire HD to work on Softbank Japan?
Can someone please help? Thank you.
The phone is already rooted and has Radio-off and S-off done. Don't know if that helps.
Anybody have any insite?
Please.
Hi samusx.
did you manage to get it to work?
I'm going to japan in a few weeks, and would like to use my dhd with a softbank SIM.
I had the same problem with my SE X10 before, but I thought it was something else.
I can't imagine a provider locking their sim cards to their phone? Is that even possible?

Hi all.
I'm considering buying an m8. A friend is selling one that is locked to the Vodafone network and I'm on ee. I've seen unlocked codes are cheap. My question is. Will it work OK on the ee 4g band? Or am I going to come across issues.
Cheers all.

It'll work, all the UK M8 are the same model just some might have branded software (e.g. Vodafone, EE) on them and some might be the unbranded version
I bought a Vodafone M8 a month ago, got it unlocked on eBay for 1.99. Paid for sunshine to get it s off and change the phone to unbranded m8. For you question yes it will work with all networks once you get it unlocked
Youre a gent, thanks for the reply !!!!!! Will take the plunge in that case
Dear all,
I'm willing to buy HTC 530 VZW to use in India. But my doubt is will it work in India without unlocking the phone? Somebody told 4G Verizon phones are GSM unlocked and no need to unlock the phone. Please clarify my doubt. Because I love HTC.
I purchased about 6 HTC Desire 530 from VZW and 5 came SIM unlocked, but one came SIM locked. I think the older ones comes sim unlocked. I'll try to purchase a generic htc unlock code from any of the lot of pages that sell unlock codes and try.
