whom should I call to blacklist it? HTC? or they wouldn't since the phone is international?
Call your carrier.. Give them the details they ask.
If you have insurance call the insurance company, and also your carrier as the person above me mentioned

Get to a pc, log into your google account on the android marketplace, and install Plan B by lookout mobile security. If your google account is still active on your lost phone it'll install and email you the location of the phone.

Yes. I tried it once. Works very well. Just got to hope the phone hasn't been wiped since you lost it, and that you left 3g turned on!

I cannot call my carrier because the phone was purchased on ebay and was unbranded made in Taiwan. also the trick that can locate the phone did not work. so my best choise is to blacklist it but idk whether htc would blacklist it or not since it has no carrier

Well so your only hope is htc. Try and reach out to them. They could somehow track that with imei number...
Good luck.

you can still call the carrier to get the sim card blocked and stop any wanted charges being billed to you
and i doubt HTC would do anything... why would they care/bother?

Well the topic is about the Desire and how to get it but I was not sure which forum to put it in so posted it here.
Well my Brother is moving to London for 2 years. Now he has his N95 (unlocked) which he would like to continue using as he has his paid apps installed on it and stuff.
Now he's getting a HTC Desire on contract. So If he uses the Contract Sim in his N95 and sends back the Desire to me here in India, I could unlock it and use it with any data carrier here in India right?
Yes you could unlock / debrand the Desire and use it on another network.

you will be able to use it no probs in india, you may want to check with the network you use in india and make sure that they use a compatible 3g band if that is important to you

The network won't care right even if he's using his contract sim in his other unlocked phone?

Oh and one more thing.
Some guy on tech enclave was saying that if you unlock your phone using the unlock code the phone will once again get locked after I update my phone software to Froyo.
Is that true? I thought this only happened in iPhones? If it's true what are my alternative means of unlocking?
Thank you everyone
Simply re use the same unlock code you originally used to unlock the phone and you'll be fine.

If you are both T-Mob, then of course you are the same network. They don't build a new set of cell towers just for pre-paid. They just change the way they bill you.
ya need to get a new phone, went back to stock rom and still is messed up
called tmobile and it turned out to be my sim card was a older version and had switched networks too many times and couldnt connect anymore. took the one that came with the phone and got it setup and its all good again.

Well, if the memory on the SIM card is akin to flash memory, I guess it's possible.

Really? Totally believe you just dont see the logic behind it. Why would they make a sim card only be able to switch networks so many times? Makes no sense. The person you talked to probably just had no idea what they were talking about!
Pretty much every rewritabe non volatile memory technology out there has a limiter number of writes that can be performed on it before it fails. Maybe a SIM card will last for > 10 years. I don't know, I haven't been with a single provider long enough to find out. I can see where this was a logical hypothesis on the part of the rep, and since replacing the sim worked, where is the problem?

ahh well best get in contact with your Network Carrier and ask if there is a outage/tower issue, and be sure apns are exact, best is to get a phone that comes from that carrier and look at the apns on that phone

Traveling to Ireland with the wife for three weeks, wondering if there is a easy and cheap way to get my phone to work in Ireland? Buy a burner while I'm there, or unlock my phone and buy mins? What converter for charging can i use without putting a hurt on my phone or battery, Not sure that's why I'm asking, any suggestions are welcomed, thanks.

I'd say the easiest way would be to unlock and buy some mins over there (along with one of their carrier's sim card, usually about 10$). That way you don't get charged for roaming.
You might have to flash another modem once you're there but you'll see by yourself if yours is fine or not.

Pretty much. I duno the carriers over there but usually that's what you'd do. Go in, explain you're staying for a couple weeks and wanna use their service. They should sell you a pay as you go sim with some mins.
You can always check with the carriers before hand.
I was in Uk couple a month ago I unlocked my sim card and use 3mobile service it give me unlimeted Data 300 min and 500 text for 15 pound no setup fee just put your sim in the phone and you are ok ( whatsapp & viber and vonage worked perfectly )
Did you use the unlock method in the dialpad? Can I but a sim card online so I'm setup when I arrive? And when I get back I just put my att Sim back in and wallah?

Yea att won't unlock unless my 2yr contact is up, even though I've been a customer for ten yrs(kinda bs in my opinion) I can just unlock through dialpad... was going to get a Sim online, but I guess it's Vodafone, looks like you have to goto a store there.

I'm sure there will be if the user base calls for it. Hasn't been made yet because the device technically doesn't launch until tomorrow on T-Mobile.
I'm curious if the T-Mo version will work flawlessly with AT&T. I've heard the Sprint and Verizon devices can be buggy.

The unlocked version should work flawlessly on AT&T already.
That it does but due to my wedding in three weeks followed by an expensive honeymoon, I lack the funds to purchase an unlocked one from anywhere other than BestBuy currently.
They say they'll eventually carry unlocked 10s, but really, who knows? They will have the T-Mo version though.

I just put in the Trans #, they require a scan of the receipt anyway, so I recon it's just to cross check.
The proof of purchase will be the scanned document.
