Other android phones would get unlocked by simply rooting the device :s

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.

Are there chances that the unlock code won't work? :s

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.

Just wonder if S-OFF means SIM unlocked, since when we S-OFF HTC inspire, it will also be SIM unlocked

I don't think this is correct, although I could be wrong so don't hold me to this!!
I thought the only way to unlock SIM was using XTC clip.
Again, sorry if this is wrong!!

Before we had a "software" root which is done on the computer, the only way to root the inc2 was with an"XTC clip" this gives a FULL NAND un-lock and is irreversible, so once you have s-off you're stuck with that, un-like the software root that later came u can turn back to s-on.
but yet XTC clip is something you must buy, or pay someone to "use"

ive actually been looking for a free way to unlock the sim without calling verizon as well
will the original rom (with root added) work globally....id assume it would but you know what happens when you assume lol
edit: after a bit more searching it looks like there isnt a way to unlock w/o the xtc clip, verizon or paying

Yes. That's why all the global enabled ROMs (sense based) are all based off of the stock firmware so global works well. SkyRaider is the best example of this. It's stock firmware with sense 3.0 stuff added to it.

Well my Mrs is getting her upgrade tomorrow (HTC One X), but I'm guessing its going to come locked to ORANGE UK network.. I'm in THREE UK network.. So my Sim card wont work in it... right?
I need to try & get it unlocked to all networks... or I'll just have to sell it.

They don't always come unlocked in the UK most carriers sim block it to their networks. Some don't some do.

You need to call T-Mobile and tell them you are going to Europe-town and ask for an unlock code

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.

+1 please. I would like to have that discount. So far the best deal I have been able to get is 7.50USD.
yeah i paid 15$ ....i needed it quick but still ..i called Rogers and they were asking me 50$
Also i was wondering how you guys entered the unlock code ...
Did you put the not supported sim and then entered the code?
or
Entered the code through typing a code ..then the unlock code...

They provide the quickest service, but cellunlock is the cheapest if you don't provide a video to cellunlocker.
Cellunlock did it for 7.50, but I had to wait about 3 days for the code. Google "cellunlock discount codes" and you'll find one to give you 50% off.
And for our phones, you need a SIM card from a locked-out carrier to prompt code entry.

That is too bad, were you using the correct method? The only way to input the code is to have another carrier's SIM card for NA phones. At least you were able to get it all unlocked now.
