1.Buy or use XTC Clip for unlock.
2.Talk with your network provider.

First solution is hard, since i dont have xtc clip.
Second one is hard too, i`m in other country right now and phone is locked in orange spain.
Third, here in my city nobody can unlock this phone, i need to send in other city to solv it
I think i need some valid sites who unlock sim network online via IMEI. Any ideas?

Was online via IMEI on this site theunlockingcompany dot com
First time i read about them, i was afraid about scam but i risk and now my wife is very happy with her unlocked wirdfire s
Price was 11.99 USD and i received e-mail after 40 mins, they say 15-30 mins but is not a very big difference, is really fast and the price was very very good for me.
You sent a payment of $11.99 USD to The Unlocking Company

Dont know, my phone wasnt buyed with a contract, but anyway...who will verify if the phone is locked or not in other networks when you will send to warranty?
You will receive only the code (8 digits), insert a new sim and write the code and thats all, all fine.

Ask your provider to give you an unlock code, just tell them that you are going to be using you phone over seas and that you need it sim unlocked. I did that with T-Mobile and they said they would email it to me. It took about a week because they had to get it from HTC.
i called tmobile last night and asked for the code...they took my imei number and said i will get an email in a few days
Thank's adeway234, but I don't buy this HTC direct from provider who are "Boigues Telecom" (BT) I think, and for that, an unlock code will be hard to find.
Thank you anyway.

It's actually Bouygues Telecom, which is a french provider
To Angelgolp.
Im not shure for that, maybe is British Telecom, but I think is not important for me, I buy this phone second-hand and I wish to unlock them, I can't call to provider
Just try - this will not hurt you .
To litleclown
I think it was a joke from you
My post is to voicu_ady - there is no pain about asking some telecom for unlock code.
OK, Thank you very much!

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 ?

Are you sure that it's 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:

I am on o2
bought a 2nd hand wildfire s on t mobile
bought an unlock code from HTCimeiUnlock which came through.
unlock code seemed to work can use access phone with o2 sim.
cant register on o2 network says "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
Sim works totally fine in my o2 x10 mini pro.
and a t-mobile sim works fine in the wildfire s
thinking it mght be banned from o2 or the unlock code doesnt work
*Tried manually putting in APN detail and still nothing
Hello, I have the same issue, did you ever manage to solve this?
Sadly it seems that you have been swindled. Try looking for a XTC Clip(That S-OFF's your phone and also UNLOCK the SIM lock of the phone)
ok, swindled how? do you mean its not unlocked?? and for a beginner...xtc clip?
XTC Clip is a device that unlocks your phone security (which includes sim unlock), and that would be better than buying any codes from around internet ... You may go find it in some shop, maybe they do unlocking via xtc clip, OR buy a device unlock phone, and then resell it ?

If around where you live there are people in your city centre selling phone cases for about £5 with trolleys ask them if they do a phone unlock. The place is crawling with them in Cardiff.

You need to do it in person. Did you google XTC Clip? It's really your friend...Even as a "beginner".
ok, so im going to go to the shop ( a different one today and try) myself...as for the xtc clip...i had a look but really wasnt sure how to make it work...
i think really that this may be a forum for people who know what they are doing..sorry... but thanks for the help.
Any other ideas let me know but thanks
ok, so here we go...
Went to the shop and they say the phone is unlocked. When i put an o2 sim card in, it does not require a pin when the phone switches on.
It works with tmobile sim, orange, virgin just not o2....
so it is unlocked just wont take o2.....
any ideas why?
Have you talked to 02 about it? Your simcard might just be too old for the phone.....

Stab in the dark this,
try removing sim, Sd & battery....
then hold volume down for 2 secs, and power on while holding it...
You should be at the bootloader screen, see if theres an option to clear simlock, press power button to do so if its not done already, then try your O2 sim, if it does not work im at a loss, I would say its IMEI banned if thats the case.....
ok - ko ka - did as you said, when i selected simlock i got the following...
fat 32 init ok
open mccmnc file fail
open cid file fail
process done, reboot?
when i reboot, it still wont take the o2 sim...
and yes am working through the other thread also

There is currently no 'free' way of sim unlocking your device if you hang around long enough someone may write a program to do it but you may be waiting a while. Quite a few members have stated the unlock code can be obtained over ebay within 2 hours for around £9 which is a good price. You could also contact your carrier and tell them you want to take your phone abroad and use a different sim card in it while you are away to save costs. Sometimes they will unlock it for free.

got mine unlocked from o2 for free, filled in a form on their site and they emailed me the unlock code
just bought a SIM unlock code from here for £5
instant delivery, works perfectly. awesome
a warning about sim unlock: I got my nexus today from vodafone spain and as expected it was locked. I got an unlock code from ebay and it worked like a charm.
But, I like to play with new phones first, then restore defaults and set everything up the way I want it. The thing is, the galaxy nexus doesn't remember the network unlock code between factory resets, at least mine doesn't (yakju, came with ITL41F).
The codes work, but you may need yours again, so don't throw the number away
any code for three? im waiting the three to give me the code, about 2 weeks now
Hello Mark, is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus an universal phone? Can I use the unlocked version with LTE carriers in the future? I am in US and Verizon is the only LTE carrier I was wondering about using T-Mobile (HSPS technology) or wait for Sprint (my current carrier). I live in USA but I am thinking about moving to Japan so I wonder if I should just wait and maybe I will need to get one in Japan with one of their carriers... Also I love the forums and it is all great, but is there an IRC room for this questions as well?
Thank you in advance,

The GSM version can be purchased unlocked and used on any GSM carrier with their supplied SIM card. The GSM frequencies are listed for the Galaxy Nexus and they cover the majority of GSM international and US domestic carriers.
The LTE version, as far as we've heard, is only for Verizon in the US. Not sure what LTE technologies other carriers in other countries are using.
If you're interested in having an international capable version of the deivce, the GSM version is currently your best option.
Hope that helps!
Hi,
I would also like to purchase such a code, but how ist it with OTA updates? Still avialable?
How would it be if I later root my phone and put on a custom rom? Will it be still unlocked.
or
cant I just put on a custom rom, to sim-unlock the phone and save those costs?
Sorry for the noob questions.
Thanks

Custom Roms cannot sim unlock your phone as it isnt part of the system.
Flashing an OTA update or a custom rom will not affect your phone if you have sim unlocked it with a code.
MArk.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I have contacted my carrier (A1 Austria) and complained about the simlock. To make a long story short, they finally gave me the simunlock pin.
But recently I unlocked the bootlader and the unlock was wiped so I needed to reenter the pin. After I reflashed the original rom (back to stock) the sim was locked again.
And the most strange thing happened today. I just restarted the phone today (as every day) and the sim was locked again. So reentered the pin to unlock.
My question now, can it be that the simumlock pin they have provided me is not correctly working or is this a normal behaviour or a bug?

That appears to be normal behaviour.
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.
