If you are looking for a cheap unlock solution for your HTC One X i suggest you go here.
I used them before twice and they are very reliable and extremely cheap,
Also should mention you don't buy this on Ebay, you enter your phone details on the description of the product on Ebay and then click "buy now"
then it will take you to paypal where you pay for it.

did you test it ?
I tried and it seems like it took me to a weird paypal site, and after purchasing the transaction isn't displayed in my Paypal history, password changed super fast after that... Not sure if I trust them.
Just an update that I've just received a code from them and it is now showing up in PayPal. I haven't tried the code yet as I'm out and don't have a micro sim with me but would still advise anyone to change there password after using the service and not to enter their phone number.

Why are you so security obsessed? it's using Paypal and your details will be safe, what's so weird about it? it's just has their logo on the payment page lol
So this unlocks my phone and changes the cid? Allowing me to get OTA WWE updates as opposed to carrier branded crap?

Only changing the CID (ie SuperCID ) changes the CID. This is a SIM UNLOCK which allows carrier locked handsets to be unlocked and used with another carrier's SIM.

What a rip off. UK users can get their phones carrier unlocked for free by their provider. O2 gave me my code with no fuss at all.

Since there was a thread about a scam over unlocking I'm a bit more concerned about what site I choose to unlock my phone.
What would you people recommend? Trusted and safe site?
I've heard a lot of good stuff about unlock-zone. What others have users on here used?
I used www.htcsimunlock.com
I unlocked mine on ebay, it was cheaper than most sites, was fast, and you'll have the paypal insurance, so nothing can go wrong.
I used htccode.com successfully 2 times. As I stated in the other post, the downloaded application did not work at first attempt (could not connect to server) so I used the Live Support link on the homepage, and an engineer detected my logged in user name, requested the IMEI code and emailed the unlock code within 10 minutes.
This is the 2nd time I have used them, and it would be tough to get better service in my opinion.
I am sure some individuals may have problems, but htccode has worked fine for me twice.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Used ebay and had the unlock code in about a minute cost £8,99 and no faffing around like some of the other sites.
How exactly do you use ebay to get a code?

And if I update my Phone to Froyo it won't lock my phone again right?
ive just ordered mine from this guy

ok got my code after about 2h, original t-mobile phone now works fine with orange + a polish operator plus gsm

Nope. You're unlocking to allow other networks. It won't do anything to the bootloader at all so you'll stay S-ON.
Worked perfect. Now my One X is carrier unlocked for less than 2€.
I confirm that the phone is still S-ON.

It Works
Ordered last night, arrived a couple of hours ago.
I filled in the details in the middle of the page instead of hitting the 'buy it now' at the top and it didn't go through ebay checkout but straight to paypal.
Email from them was literally:
UNLOCK=xxxxxxxx

Even after waiting 2 weeks for three to sort their act out and unlock me, I'm a bit wary of this. It looks like I'm expected to enter my paypal password on a page controlled by simpleunlock.co.uk. How is this safe?

I ordered mine at 2333 last night and arrived at 1310 so you may have to wait a while
works perfect had my code back in 30 seconds ,i did loose £1.44 because i used the iIMEI code from the package,but it was different from the phone,but £2 88 to unlock very cheap yes 10 out of ten
Glad I saw this. Even if there is a free way sorted soon - £1.44 to get it done now is cheap. I'd gladly pay more (3 said they would do it for £15)
Once the phone is unlocked will it then be able to get the 1.28 OTA?
i thought unbranded came unlocked and if you were branded, then you tell your carrier to unlock your phone and they are going to do it for free to keep your business. the only thing that would cost money is data roaming. i might be wrong.

I'm not sure about other carriers but Three def told me £15 to unlock. I can't see them doing it free as they are still doing you a service and unlocking your phone doesn't guarentee you are going to stay with them.

if ATT sim doesn't work in my phone and they don't unlock it for free, then i will gladly call that a breach of contract and order a Red Pocket sim and a cutter. when ATT bills me an ETF, then i'll dispute it and talk to a lawyer if i need to. that's how i do things. ;p
Just ordered one, need an alternative micro SIM to go in the phone now to unlock it when code arrives!!
I bought a Sim network unlock code on ebay, 3 times, I got the same at all three of the seller, but dont work
What could be the problem???
1. - You're getting scammed
2. - Seller has bad/not working codes and is unaware of this
3. - You bought the wrong item
4. - For some reason they don't work because of something with your phone
5. - You're doing it wrong
6. - If it's none of those, blame unicorns. Always blame unicorns.
It's generally not the best idea to try it thrice with the same seller unless you're really confident they're reliable.

Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
Are you running a custom ROM?
If you have 1 or both the unlock code won't work you need to o it on factory ruu as fare as I'm aware as it worked for me

Well at least you got your cash back. I think the best thing to do is to call your carrier and ask them to send you the code.
If it matches to the ones you got fro. I ebay then it norows it down to the phone and you can take it from there

T-Mobile Montenegro provider changes the codes on these phones therefore the codes from the HTC database is wrong.
This is not just with t-mob mont there are so many other networks like portuguese networks, t-mob croatia, voda and orange romania etc..
if the providers change the code, then cable is the only way to unlock these phones.
The same problem whats the solution

When I had my Galaxy S, I was able to unlock it with a program that worked perfectly.
I have not found any such program for the S3, why is this? Is the phone harder to work on?
If cellunlock.net can get the unlock code, why can't one of XDA's resident geniuses create a program that get's the code?
Thanks,

hello
i am looking for a soln also,
well be out of country soon and would like to get the phone unlocked so that we can get a pay as you go sim

Not sure what network you're on, but if you're with AT&T, try a web chat with their customer support and ask if you could get the unlock code. That's what I did, and the second person I talked to gave it to me.

I bought an unlock code on ebay for $5 and worked perfectly, I have an AT&T S3. Look for seller myhoian on ebay.
Hi, I also have another question. cellunlock.net asks for the 15 or 17 digit IMEI from my phone,
When I dialed *#06# the IMEI was The 15 digits then / 02
so do I include the 02 in to make it 17 or just the first 15?

Yea I'm looking on eBay right now cause I want to unlock my phone and there are some cheap ones. Found one for 4.50 but it looks like they all say "I am shipping you this code blah blah" basically stating they can't e-mail you the code because of ebay's policy. So is that how it works they mail you the code instead of just e-mailing it to you?

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.

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.
