How to unlock / use other carriers

Hello,
I had an HTC Touch Dual (WM) in the past, and back then it was very easier to unlock (use other network carriers) the phone - using a tutorial from this forum.
I'm about to buy a HTC blocked by T-Mobile and I'm wondering if there's any way to do the same to use it with other carrier at another country. I think what I am asking is a way to CID unlock without code.
I've searched through the stickies but I honestly didnt find the information, I'm sorry if I missed it. I also sorry if it's not the wrong section, I'm not sure where (and if) we can put this question here.
Thanks!

try using something like this:

There is no 'free' way of unlocking. unless the current owner with the T-Mobile account calls tmobile and asks them for the code.

Well, things changed
It's not very expensive though, assuming it works :=

Depends on the age of the phone, If you have it 1 or 2 years already call your provider and they must give you a code and with that you can remove the simlock, that is how I did it with the Hero and my old samsung and Nokia. Soo I would give them a call or look on the site.
And if that is not the case. Go to some phone shop, a small one and they will do it for ya for 10 bucks, works to.

Do you mean Locked to a carrier or Blocked by a carrier? if you mean locked then yes its possible with a paid unlock code.If you mean Blocked i.e Stolen or reported Lost then NO when an unlock code is requested through IMEI it gets logged that its been BLOCKED as its stolen/lost and they will just BLOCK it again

[Q] how to reverse sim permanently lock LG optimus LTE p930

I have purchased an LG Optimus LTE P930 phone from someone on Kijiji and the phone is locked to bell but when I go to throw a different sim card in to unlock it I get "this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked". is there anyways to fix this issue?

Yeah, you need to find someone who can get your NCK unlock code. I got mine from a guy on eBay for like $3. Then dial 2945#*930# and enter the unlock code you are given. Easy peasy.
You might try these guys.

it does not give me an option at type in a NCK code as soon as it turns on with wrong sim it just pop's up with that same error

I don't understand, can you not dismiss the error and continue using the phone and then type in that number I gave you? If all else fails, maybe you can remove your SIM card and dial the number that way? As I recall, I had 0 issues unlocking my phone and I didn't even have a SIM card in it when I did it if I remember correctly...

A "freeze" usually happens after too many NCK attempt, usually 10.
what you would be looking for is an "unfreeze" code.
But if your Bell SIM still works it sounds like it is a service provider lock -SPCK- which is similar to network locked.
There may be a dialer code to reset attempt count, may also be able to binary edit it.
I reocmmend trying a site like this http://www.unlockallcellular.com/lg-nitro-hd-unlock-code-p-198068.html
there may be afew other, even on ebay. I would get with one that provides a guarantee. Usually invloves taking a video of you entering code to prove if it works or not. If not they will refund your money.
be patient as it could take a day or two.
I once paid $70 to unlock my dell streak 7.
Cheers.

Fire Phone is asking for PUK

Hi,
i just bought a quite cheap, used fire phone. Its from germany (Telekom). The preowner told me that its netlocked.
Unfortunately its seems to be completly locked for every sim, no matter if Telekom or a different carrier.
Its asking for the SIM-Puk. Doenst matter which SIM i insert. I tried PUK and PUK2 with two different sim-cards but the phone is not accepting it.
I can boot normally if i just "dismiss" it. But then the sim is not working (obviously).
Installing Cyanogenmod does not change anything in that regards.
It seems like that kind of behaviour happens, when you try to remove the simlock with the wrong unlock code too many times.
For example from a reddit-post:
"[...]After calling around almost everywhere possible - including a brief call to AT&T - I discovered that the phone is permanently carrier locked if you enter the code wrong too many times. Basically, you just created an expensive brick."
I hope thats not the case. Can somebody help?
Thanks!

When your security PIN is entered incorrectly 3 times, the handset becomes "blocked" to prevent unauthorised use. To remove the block the PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code needs to be entered. This code is supplied with your Prepay SIM card when you buy it.
So you need to get the puk number from the guy you bought it off, hopefully he has the number of you will need to go to the provider and request it.
Anything related to the sim, imei blacklisted or simlocked should be avoided.
You should check if its not blacklisted also

SIM network unlock PIN

So I got my hands a new Nexus 5X from an EE retail store in UK, although I'm happy to use EE for everyday use there are times when I travel and need to swap SIMs due to black spots. Much to my horror and bemusement I discovered that my brand new 5X is indeed network locked, so there's that myth put to bed for non believers.
I have requested an unlock code from the network, unfortunately patience is not one of my strong points, does anyone know of any sites that offer an unlock for the 5X? I tried one this morning but it came back 'no code found'. If anyone knows of a site that can help, I'd appreciate a PM with the details.
Thanks.

For what is worth, I also got, from. my local carrier a brand new Nexus 5X. LG H790. Well, it turns out to be Network locked as well. Whenever the phone is turned on with the SIM in of another carrier it asks for: "SIM Network Unlock PIN"
I went on and bought online from two different companies sim unlock codes, from the first company: SimUnlock dot com was not able to found a code and after a few days, said so snd proceed to reimburse me.The second company: MasterUnlock dot com did return, very quickly (fte minutes after online purchase) a few codes, named
NCK NSCK SPCK CPCK SIMCK, tried the NCK and the SPCK as per the instructions received but none worked "unlock unsucessful", seems they are also reimbursing me.
So, I dont know whats next, as the carrier wont give out the unlock codes.
My Nexus 5X is locked to Mexico's carrier Telcel.

I have just had this exact same issue (EE UK). I didn't realise this was now a thing! I honestly thought these companies had grown up by now. but apparently not.
Has anyone come across a solution to these? If not, does anyone know if these codes are carrier specific and individual, or generic?
I'd appreciate any info anyone has on this as it's a new thing to me!

Unlocking the phone?

I need to unlock my phone so it can accept another carrier sim card but I have never used one of those sites where you send the IMEI and they send you a code, anyone knows of a good site (and possibly cheap) to do this?
Thanks in advance.
