Will a network unlock ever be released?

I have the inc s and absolutely love it, but would love to join you guys at the inc 2 side.
Is there ever going to be a unlock for ATT or tmo or usa carriers like the droid2global? I'm sure I'm not the only one. Inc s costs almost twice the price , same exact hardware, just gsm unlocked for ATT .

This is the Droid Incredible Android Development section.
1) this belongs in the general or q/a section as tis doesn't contribute to development
2) this is the Droid Incredible section the Droid Incredible S is a different phone entirely thus different subheader in XDA.

How is this development? Oh that's right--it isn't. Unless you plan on developing the network unlock, this thread is not suitable for development.

How many R800x users have a unlocked bootloader? Post here... R800x only

Just curious how many R800x users have an unlocked BL? Please post below. As this is pertaining ot R800x CDMA specifically please lets keep it that way. Thanks.
With that I am unlocked BL for a year now with DoomKernel.

Well, I think you know my answer

I believe I'll let my hammer-- err, kernel do the talking.

I'm unlocked, from the earliest used method for R800x

Ok, I get it ... There is more than 4 people in the world with R800x and unlocked bootloader.
I'm also unlocked by IMEI code from Sonys website (first method)

Unlocked by Alejandrissimo, sometime in April 2012. About one day after I received my Play after using my brother's VZW upgrade and not ever activate it. Yeah, he wasn't happy.

Unlocked R800X via alejandrissimo about 2 or 3 weeks ago, he had a $15 special going on so I manned up & did it!

I've got an unlocked r800x...done by alejandrissimo back in April.

Is it worth voiding the Warranty with Sony to unlock the BL? Verizon is probably out due to being rooted, but verizon sucks anyways lol.
I know with an unlocked BL we can.use different kernels/roms, and overclock with certain roms/kernels. But what else can we do with unlocked BLs?

As Verizon users, that's all you can do. If you were a GSM user (Non-Verizon), there's a bit more to it.
As GSM, let's say you're using AT&T, you love your Play, but you hate AT&T and you want to switch to let's say, SIMple Mobile. You could terminate your AT&T service and signup for SIMple Mobile, once you do that, just buy a SIM card from them, and you could install that on the PLAY you already own and you'll be using your play on the new service you subscribed to. That's not possible on Verizon phones because they don't use SIM cards.
When I'm on my own after college, I'm probably going to buy a GSM Android phone on eBay or something for cheap, then go for SIMple mobile and get one of their SIM cards, since it's only 40$ a month for a single user.

Oh really? What other CDMA networks are there? I'm wondering what I should do once I'm on my own after college, Verizon is ridiculously expensive, that's why. I can't believe my parent's are spending so much money on Verizon.
EDIT: I assume that all it takes is a new APN after subscribing? This will take place 4 years from now but I'd be nice to know how instead of forgetting. I've known about SIMple Mobile since they launched.
EDIT2: I just looked it up, wow... I must have been way too focused on GSM!! I might just stay on the Play until XDA development dies completely for it. I guess I'll be keeping my eye on Revol Wireless. My parents said they're done paying for my cell once I graduate from College. I don't know Verizon's plans, but I think my mom said that it $80 for her alone. Until I start raising a family down the road of time, I think $45/m is plenty. XD

Got mine unlocked in November as soon as I heard that zergRush for had been patched.
Been flashing my phone with new roms ever since like it's going outta style

Unlocked 2x. 1st time was about a mouth after getting it to try cm7. And then again after I overlocked my CPU too much I got a replacement. Turns out bestbuy doesn't care if you unlock your bootloader.

unlocked bootloader here, best 24 bucks I ever spent.

Same here for me. I held out until the official word came down that ICS wouldn't be happening.

Global ready?

Hey. Sorry im really for the Verizon forum but I have a quick question. Im about to root my friends phones who are about to go back to bolivia and I was wondering if this would be needed at all or is the at&t phone already global ready meaning they can just put a sim in the phone and it would function perfectly?

Rooting doesn't unlock the phone... His phone won't work on other carriers unless it is network unlocked.. Completely different from rooting.

Also in the forums in here are the instructions to do just that as well. The unlocking can be done without root from what I remember.

It also depends on the frequencies Bolivia uses. If it's the same as the US/Canada, it should be fine. But as others had mentioned, make sure the phone is carrier unlocked to you can slap on a SIM card and rock and roll.

hey sorry about the late response but how do you go about getting a phone carrier unlocked?

[Q] Is there any way to SIM unlock the Dinc2 by myself?

I've been trying to do this forever. I'm trying to use it in Canada, I already know it wont work CDMA but will on GSM/Global. Its S-Offed and I know I will probably need to be on the stock ROM so I got back to stock. I can't pay for the service cause I'm a student and need that 10 bucks. Help please?

Is your phone unlocked?

Yes but you gotta pay.

So there's definitely no way to do it on my own? I can only do it by paying someone?

I have a stock verizon incredible 2 that I need to sim unlock for use in Thailand. Is it really true that the only way to sim unlock this phone is to pay for an unlock code?

I have never been with Verizon so that choice is out of the question. I guess I need to find the cheapest vendor selling the codes.
Thanks.

Just FYI
As of like a week ago unlocking without the carrier's consent is illegal and you can be sued....... Just saying

Maybe for you Americans by US based carriers.
I didn't buy the phone from Verizon. I don't live in the USA. I don't intend to use the phone on any US carrier. Who will sue me again and what law have I broken?

Also I'm pretty sure the law states that it is for devices purchased after last Saturday. Hopefully there aren't a lot of people buying brand new Dinc2s.

Alright, I guess that's it then. Would anyone be able to direct me to a reputable and cheap unlocking service?

Noob question

Im sorry this sounds very elemental but I have always used sprint and I really dont know much about sim card.
Thank you very much for your time!

At&t phones operate on gsm. Make sure gosmart is a gsm carrier. Also, depending on the carrier, you may not see LTE speeds

Well i assume you would have to unlock it which is now illegal without carrier permission so you would have to call at&t and have them unlock if it doesn't already come unlocked

Gosmart uses a sim card( tmobile) but im not worried about lte speeds. What im worried is at&t claiming back their phone. Now this guya in craiglist says he bought the gs3 and then his job gave him the iphone, so he has no use for it. Will at&t will automatically unlock it when he got the iphone?
