The phone will work, but you might just have to carrier unlock it unless your seller has already unlocked it.

If its not unlocked, u might have to unlock it. I bought an unlock code from unlock fusion for 1.69. Had the code in about 2 hours n I can confirm it works.

Anyone know how to adb unlock sim? I had a captivate and there was a way to change the binary file to leave network unlocked then you pushed it using a Chmod adb command. I would try it but I'm afraid I don't have insurance and also not too comfortable with htc devices so I don't wanna brick by accident

That's the link
You either need an xtc clip or a sim unlock code from Verizon or an online unlocker.

I believe Verizons code is free...why won't ppl use it?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
As a Verizon indirect agent my account manager will not give unlock codes to me therefore software unlock is my best bet, I'm not buying an xtc clip either talk about a ripoff
Why can't you just call Verizon customer support and get the unlock code from them? Shouldn't matter if you're affiliated with vzw or not, you pay for a service, they provide it.

Please answer the question I know what I can and can't do it's stupid what can't be done when u work for a company but I have tried everything and that's why I am posting the question, Yes I have searched, Yes I have called support, my options are software unlock or code unlock and I don't want to pay for a code
Those are your only options. Either find someone that does sim unlocking with an xtc clip or buy a code. There's absolutely no other way known right now.

Side note, what are my chances of bricking the device trying to do this the same way? I have backups if I can get into CWM BUT a nice brick would probably make me very upset
It has a greater risk than not doing it and spending a few bucks.

That's an HTC thing of rooting and getting sim unlock at the same time. Rooting this will only root.

The last few time I've called tmo for my phones and my friends', it takes less than 24 hrs for them tk send it. You can request one unlock code every 90 days.

Why would you need more than one unlock code?
Does the phone re-lock after a while?
I'm kinda surprised with all the stuff that goes on here that SIM unlocking can't be done without calling t-mobile or buying from ebay.

Unlocked phones are easier to sale. I don't keep my phone more than 6 months. Plus when I get the warranty or insurance replacement phones, I need to unlock those.

No, you need S-OFF, and that is not available for One X.

Maybe, but you don't have an "other" android phone.

Don't be too sad, it only costs a few quid and takes a few hours, tops.
Unless you're one of the unlucky few that it doesn't work for, but cross that bridge if it happens.

You could always try the provider where the simlock if from, say you have to go abroad for a while and want to use a local simcard for that country your going to.

There are a small number of operators for which it doesn't work. It's a very small chance, and from what I hear, getting a refund from a reputable SIM unlock code provider is painless.
Hello, I bought an HTC One X from Ebay and i found it really cheap. Anyways it is rooted as i see it has SuperSU app. But im afraid it was stolen as its price was so low. I wanna know if someone can block a rooted device? It was originally locked and the bootloader has been unlocked by the seller. At least thats what he said. Please I would be grateful if you could reply to my question. And if it gets blocked is there any way i can unblock it? Thanks
Did it work..?
I don't think that there's a problem

Thats good news! Thanks mate
hi - i have a htc one x locked to orange uk, its totally original phone and never has never been rooted or modded before, i purchased an unlock code and the seller is 100% sure thats its the corrrect unlock code for the phone but it doesnt work, after several times of trying the code it still says " unlock code ir wrong".i thought perhaps unlock code was wrong so i bought another from another seller, it was the same unlock code....phone still obviously wont unlock...is this a deliberate ploy by orange to stop people using other sims in their phones.. I also have reset the phone to factory settings and tried with diffrerent sim like gif gaff, vodaphone etc but still remains locked and wont accept the unlock code. I have no reason to doubt the seller. im in the uk. Ive read somewhere that it may have something to do with the radio.zip whatever that is. To be honest im totally new at this modding lark so would be greatful if someone could walk me through this problem or help me in some sort of way. i would like to use my tesco sim in the phone. Thanks

That's the same reason I didn't get mine unlocked through T-Mobile (greedy @$$€$!) Got mine on eBay and it worked perfectly first time.
If the code isn't working for you and you got the same code from 2 sellers, it looks like your out of luck mate and you'll have to give your greedy network the money.
