I'm in the U.S. and kind of confused about how everything works. If I buy an unlocked T-Mobile MDA off ebay or somewhere else, will it work with a T-Mobile UK Pay As You Go SIM card? If not is there a list somewhere that says what SIMS work with what phones/PDAs?

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 there
I live in the UK and have an HTC Desire which has been baked and it's just the way I like it. It was bought on a T-Mobile contract and is locked to T-Mobile.
I am travelling to the USA and want to put a USA T-mobile sim card in it.
The last time I was in the USA I took my Nokia N95 over which was locked to T-Mobile UK but it wouldn't work over there with a USA T-Mobile sim card.
What will I have to do to get it working over in America? Is it just getting the phone unlocked in my local market in the UK?
I don't want to be empty handed in the USA. I love my Desore too much to leave it in the suitcase!!!!
Any advise is grateful
Adrian
The phone is locked to simcards from t mobile UK, hence why you couldn't use a t mobile US simcard.
You can unlock the desire for about £10 with a code from ebay, no cables or mods required, simply put in the code when you first try to use the other sim card. You may find you only get 2g coverage in the US as I think the euro Desire only works with 2g networks in the US.

Hello,
I just came back to Japan and I am currently not signed up with any cellular provider yet. (Also I DO NOT have old cellphone sim...)
I REALLY want to get HTC OneX in Japan... Sim Free 32GB International version with Tegra 3.
HTC-S720e-32GB
My question is when I went to Docomo they told me that they will only let me use it if they will find some sort of a stamp... which means that it has been cleared to used in Japan...
Has anybody just bought HTC One X International version in Japan and got signed with a cellular provider without problems?
I know if I had a sim I could probably cut it, but I want to know if I could just go to Docomo and get a micro Sim from them and use it normally...
Has anybody tested this on Docomo or any other provider in Japan?
Please let me know, I've been drooling for this phone and I'm afraid that I will be unable to use it if I buy it... /:
Also I don't understand this whole business with APN stuff...
//
So basically my question is can I just go with that sim free HTC one X to any provider in Japan and get my Sim... put it in and just enjoy my phone... or they are going to refuse to give me the sim?
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.
