I haven't bothered with the stuff on www.imei-check.com. I'm with T-Mobile USA, so I just called the customer care line and simply asked for my SIM unlock code. They gave it up for FREE. I don't know how BT works, but you could attempt to speak with one of their customer service reps.

Basically, it makes it possible for you to use other GSM carriers with your Dash. For instance, you can use an AT&T SIM card in your Dash and have their service should you choose to leave T-Mobile.
It benefits you if you decided to leave T-Mo for some reason or if you decided to go overseas and didn't want to be charged outlandish prices for coverage.
EDIT: To actually enter the code, you'll need to change your SIM card out for another from a different carrier. Once you do this, your phone will prompt you to enter the code.

hi mate, i have the bt s620 also, and have just unlocked 2 of mine with no probs, admittedly i paid for the unlock i think it was about 9 quid.
and worked both times perfectly.
its an ebay seller.
i dont want to break any rules by posting the link but if you want to PM me i will gladly give you his details, i got both unlock links from him within a couple of hours too.

u can try t-mobile.. and tell them..

ok deleted link cause i paid for it and it was a report on how to do it promptly got my money back after threatening to come round lol

All I can say, Try it out for yourself and post the result. If it works out, I hope it does then leave some feedback for others. Oh by the way, that's pretty darn cheap so give it a shot, you don't got too much to lose

Just to know....
Here in Brazil we can't receive unlock code, from our carries, unless we stay in that carrier for at least 1yr (18 months in some cases) or pays somethink like 2 times the real cost of the phone (and receive a pre-paid sim card). Even if you stays in it for this time, carries try to charge for this code (US$ 150 in some carries).
That's because we, here in Brasil, search for free sim unlock!
Then I ask: no way for free unlock, right ?
Thanks and sorry for my english...

occurs in Peru as in brazil, you have q 2 years minimum contract, to complete the same not unlock the phone you have to keep using the same carrier. why we need to unlock the phone, thanks

If you want to use a differen't carrier's SIM, the phone needs to be unlocked. AT&T does it for free if you're subscribed to their services, T-Mobile you have to be a member for 6 months. How to unlock, ask your carrier when you get the unlock code. With most it's simple, you insert a differen't carrier's sim card, hit "Unlock" when it shows invalid sim, and enter the code. Simple as that.

help
I went to the unlock site, paid my money, got the files, loaded everything, and now the phone just says searching. Nothing else. If I put the original Vodafone sim in, it works, but with 02 it just says searching.
Any ideas,
Vic

For you and all people here knows: In Brazil (and in Peru, as ****man said) we don't have AT&T!!!!!!
And our carries don't give us the unlock code, unless we pay much for that. Even if we stayed with 1 or 2 year contract!!!!!!!
And that's why we need a free unlock method!!!!!!!
So don't say to us to get unlock code from our carries, they don't give it to us.
The I ask again: somewere, somehow, exists any free unlock method ?

You seem a little upset. I've been looking for a free method and I haven't found one. You can either try to pay 40 bux or stick with whatcha got. What can you do about it?

Unlocking HTC Desire - Final solution - Reliable

Please, i´ve bought a HTC Desire from Three (UK) and need a final solution for unlocking this phone.
There are some method to unlock DESIRE without need to buy code ?

Does someone can tell me a reliable and fast site to buy a unlock code that works ?
htcsimunlock.com ?
htccode.com ?
prounlocking.com ?
PLEASE, HELP ME !!!!

Are you sure that it's locked?
I bought my Desire from 3 and it's happily working with an o2 sim in it.

I got mine from 3 as well, and it's not locked

Hi everyone, i come from Hong Kong,
my friend in UK brought me a desire form Virgin, but it is locked by this network!
I want buy an unlock sim code from the web in UK; however, i don't know which company is reliable and reasonable..........can anyone help me......quite urgent

I have just bought a Desire which is branded Virgin Media from Cex in the UK and it is unlocked.
I have tried a three sim in it and it accepts the card and makes calls (called customer services) but I did not try to go on the web with it as I had no credit.
I am informed that it will not go on the web using a three sim, can anyone confirm this?
I have a Virgin 3G sim in at present and it is working well on the web.

i have retracted my statement since it was a error. the first email did not get throught to me. but the second one did after i made a paypal dispute they replied in less than 2hrs and even sent me a personal message via modaco excellent service apart from the technical error.
i do reccomend HTCSIMUNLOCK.com it worked out £13.77ish

So, which web do u prefer? i've sent a email to htcsimunlock.com, and they replied : "It's 19.95$ and takes from 5 minutes to 12 hours in some rair cases. The average delivery time it's 15 minutes."
How about unlock-htc.com ?

Re unlocking phones.
The easiest, most reliable way to unlock a phone is to contact your service supplier and request an unlock code from them.
I have done this with Orange, T-Mobile and Virgin and it works and is 100% reliable.

DO NOT USE HTCCODE - the guy is a crook.
This is an excellent service though:

[Q] Trying Sim-Unlock This Phone

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.

[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

[Q] Sim Unlock

Hi guys! first, thanks for your time.
I'm going crazy finding unlock code for my HTC One X.
I bought it on December 2012, from Personal (Telecom) Argentina.
I tried almost all the Ebay publications an all claim to don't have the unlock code.
I tried also, some pages too. I don't have any problem to pay for "fresh db" or something but I'm traveling out of my country in 1 month, and I need the unlock code in order to use local company from the other country.
Anyone know a VERY good page for unlock?
Thanks again for your time, and hope you all have a nice day.

I think SIM Unlock is not possible without S-Off...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

The OP is right, SIM unlock is possible with the right code. Most people that did this bought it indeed from eBay. Maybe you can get some more info at your provider, or at least the provider where its locked to ?

Thanks for the quick reply guys.
My provider will give me the unlock code when the contract ends (in 1 more year).
I unlocked a lots of cellphones for friends, via ebay. But I don0t understand why nobody got the un lock code for my imei.
PD: I'm not asking for a software or rom for sim-unlock. Just good unlock pages to try (where you pay for the code).
Thanks again hope you have a wonderful weekend.

I successfully used cellunlocker.net on my previous hox and it was a tuff one as 2 other sites failed. Actually even they failed first attempt and I believe I had to try their 'alternate method' which worked. Took a few days though.
Good luck

Its a bit vague but I seem to remember they didn't have my code in their existing lists but advised me to use the alternate method on the website which I think means they ask HTC directly for it

At least with ebay you have some payment protection.
