Do we have way to unlock the sim cards in our WinPhos yet? I've looked around quite a bit but all I'm finding is dev unlocks which I already have. I'm really trying to avoid calling my carrier for a subsidy code or trusting some website to provide it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Dial ##782# to Sim Unlock your Phone
Interesting. I am looking for a way to sim unlock my hd7. I didn't know about this code I typed it in and got a message saying it is already unlocked I am running deepshining V3. I tried it on my girlfriends stock hd7 mango and got the same message. I hope it is this simple. I will try a non o2 sim and see what happens. Cheers for the tip

Same here, said I'm already unlocked. I need to find a T-Mobile sim to give this a shot...I too hope it's really as simple as this...
This did not unlock my sim card slot btw. Put a t-mobile sim in my phone and it rejected it while asking for the subsidy code.
Any other ideas from the crowd?
Call your provider and tell them you are going to be traveling to Europe for the holidays and you want to get a local sim card while you are there. They will send you an unlock code for free. Easy enough.

I have a h6315 tmobile locked phone purchased from ebay. It came with an unlock code. It wont unlock. I called tmobile, they sent me the official unlock code which matches the one given to me with the phone. Here are the steps I've been doing for 1 month to try to get it to work on cingular.
I've tried, using a live cingular 64k sim.
Unlock Error: your phone is not ready for unlocking
(h6315 wont work with 64k sims supposubly)
I've tried, using a live tmobile sim.
Picks up signal and works.
Unlock Error:unlock code not accepted
Had friend call tmobile, got unlock code. Same code as before.
I've tried flashing the rom with 1.00.38eng.
Put tmobile live sim in.
Unlock Error:unlock code not accepted
I bought a 32k cingular sim. Activated it. It works on other phones.
Unlock error:your phone is not ready for unlocking.
Does anyone have any ideas what else to do? I've read that some of the h6315 will never unlock. I guess I might have found the needle in the haystack.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Didn't I answer this exact question like 2 weeks ago???
This exact question from the same exact person, in fact.
huh? well are you guys gonna help me or what lol a week ago i aint have the code now i do so can you guys help or what?
You do not need an international sim card. You do need a sim card from another carrier. When you put the sim card from another carrier in the phone, it will ask you for a code. Enter the code from tmobile. This will unlock your phone.
Currently, your phone will only work with tmobile network. An unlock phone can be use with any GSM carrier. This is useful when you travel internationally. You can buy a prepaid sim card and use your phone to make calls.
Hi guys, I hope you guys have a tool where I could find out the PUK code of my blocked sim. I'm in the Philippines and using a prepaid sim and I lost the card where the PUK is placed as well.. Our Network Provider can not give the PUK code for prepaid subscribers. I hope you could help me out on this as I badly need the number itself. thanks!
Sorry mate, we deal only with the phones here, NOT sims...
Customer Service SHOULD have the PUK codes for your sim. Doenst matter if you are prepaid or not. Now if it says SIM BLOCKED, you are outta luck, theres no way to unlock it from there.
It does actually matter black_joker. T-mobile here in the uk use randomly generated puk codes for sims and they also cannot provide a puk code for your sim if you have lost the card that came with it.
Really? Hmm. I never knew that. Now I'm interested. Will definately have to look into that one now.
PUK
I've just got the same problem with my phone. And I think the only solution is to get a new SIM with the same number from your Network Provider.
Yes... at the moment. I've actually been working on it. Out of 10 PUK Locked Sims, I managed to unlock 2. Hope to have it perfected here soon. Wish me luck!
I'm really not sure this is the correct place to put this question (Mods, please move it if needed) .... as it sort of needs to be where both the UK SG-SIII users as well as T-Mobile SG-SIII users will both see it.
I contacted T-Mobile C'S and got them to email me an Unlock Code so that I could use my phone while in UK visiting my Mum for 2weeks, but when the email came the very first part of the instructions says "you must perform this unlock function with a NON T-Mobile SIM card installed"
Hmmm well since I am still in Florida, I can't do anything ahead of time but I wanted to try and research / find out what my options were when I get over there (flying into Manchester) ahead of time so that I know what I am going to do when I land.
Anyone out there with experience at international travel, multiple SIMs, pay-as-you-go plans etc?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
It's easy to get it unlocked ... just use one of your friends ATT sim cards from their iPhone because s3 requires micro sim. Pop it in turn it on, it will ask for the code, put it in and your good to go. Then just put your sim card back in and your phone is unlocked for any gsm. When you get over seas find a service that has sim cards pop the sim in and your ready to go.

So I got my hands a new Nexus 5X from an EE retail store in UK, although I'm happy to use EE for everyday use there are times when I travel and need to swap SIMs due to black spots. Much to my horror and bemusement I discovered that my brand new 5X is indeed network locked, so there's that myth put to bed for non believers.
I have requested an unlock code from the network, unfortunately patience is not one of my strong points, does anyone know of any sites that offer an unlock for the 5X? I tried one this morning but it came back 'no code found'. If anyone knows of a site that can help, I'd appreciate a PM with the details.
Thanks.
For what is worth, I also got, from. my local carrier a brand new Nexus 5X. LG H790. Well, it turns out to be Network locked as well. Whenever the phone is turned on with the SIM in of another carrier it asks for: "SIM Network Unlock PIN"
I went on and bought online from two different companies sim unlock codes, from the first company: SimUnlock dot com was not able to found a code and after a few days, said so snd proceed to reimburse me.The second company: MasterUnlock dot com did return, very quickly (fte minutes after online purchase) a few codes, named
NCK NSCK SPCK CPCK SIMCK, tried the NCK and the SPCK as per the instructions received but none worked "unlock unsucessful", seems they are also reimbursing me.
So, I dont know whats next, as the carrier wont give out the unlock codes.
My Nexus 5X is locked to Mexico's carrier Telcel.
I have just had this exact same issue (EE UK). I didn't realise this was now a thing! I honestly thought these companies had grown up by now. but apparently not.
Has anyone come across a solution to these? If not, does anyone know if these codes are carrier specific and individual, or generic?
I'd appreciate any info anyone has on this as it's a new thing to me!
