Does anyone know how to unlock the ipaq? I bought mine a few weeks ago and had no idea that it only works with T-Mobile since I bought it online!
Now I can't use it because I live outside the US and I can't get the unlock code!!
Can anyone please help, tell me how to get the unlock code? and how to use it?
Thanks

I bought my ipaq unlocked from ebay. the only known way to unlocK it is tobe a t_mobile subscriber and to osK them for the unlocking code. Ireceived my phone unlocked from the ebay seller and he also sent the unlock code. the Phone work with Singular sim card and with my vodafone Egypt Sim .
Hi I just get a Galaxy i 5700 locked on Bell and I am trying to unlocked to use with Fido no luck for now any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance
I've just received my i5700 today! Its on 3 UK but not gonna bother unlocking mine because will get free sim's in the mail.
You can get your's unlocked by buying a code on eBay for £15.
This is really wierd. Hope someone can help.
I bought an unlocked LG Optimus G E971 phone in Toronto, Canada this May. Inserting a Rogers and Fido SIM card was perfectly fine and working while I was in Toronto, Canada. No SIM network unlock PIN required.
In October, I travelled on vacation to Hong Kong with the same phone that I thought was unlocked. As always, I would buy a local SIM for my unlocked phone. To my surprised, it prompted for a SIM network unlock PIN. I went to a total of 3 carriers, including 3 Telecom, China Mobile and one other (cannot remember the name). All asked for a SIM unlock PIN.
Not believing what had happened, I went back to the shop in Toronto, Canada after returning home. Tried inserting Rogers, Fido, Bell and AT & T SIM card, all worked perfectly.
My question is, could this be a region lock? Like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3?
Anyone has similar experience to share?
It's a SIM/network lock, nothing more. You can purchase an unlock code for under $10 online. That's what I did.

I'd think that, too, but then all these Canadian SIM cards he listed wouldn't work... I know for a fact that Bell, Fido and Rogers phones (at least every single one I tried, and that's quite a few of them), when locked, don't let you use each other's cards. If each of those cards work without problem, I doubt the phone is simlocked... But anyway, it may be worth trying unlocking it - the code for any LG model (with few exceptions) is only $4 from freemyblackberry.com, so there's not much to lose. It's a fast and reliable service, I used it several times myself.
On some smartphones, you can use them with its sub carrier. So Rogers E971 may work with Fido SIM even though it's locked. Buy an unlock code and you'll be fine.
Its not the $4 unlocking fee that I am avoiding. How do I proof my phone has been unlocked successfully? As someone had said, Bell and Fido are different carriers in Canada. It won't allow using each others SIM cards, but I can use both right now. So do I need to wait and travel again to Asia before I can proof that my LG has been unlocked sucessfully? Frustrating.

I am sure E971 accept Rogers and Fido SIM card. I did not try Bell. But I unlocked my E971 by using Wind mobile SIM card. You could try Wind mobile.
One person told me that the North American version unlocked phone would not work in Asia (Hong Kong in my case). I verified my LG box and it's labelled LG Canada. That defeat the whole purpose of an unlocked phone for worldwide use. When you spend the extra effort to get a manufacture unlocked phone, you expected it to be unlocked worldwide. Got to write to LG Canada to see if that is their marketing strategy or it's a system bug.
All Asia and Europe cell phones are legitimately manufacture unlocked. Just not a believer in locked phones and their ripped off plans in North America.

Would this be only about LGs, or any phone? Can't comment on Asia, as I never had to travel there, but my Canadian Galaxy S2 (originally locked to Bell) worked perfectly in several European countries after unlocking. My LGOG works with North American and European SIM cards, but it's a Korean F180S, so that doesn't prove anything...

Amen to that! Side by side comparison of European and American (especially Canadian) cell phone service prices is nothing short of a shock to either party. It is as ridiculously cheap in Europe as it is outrageously expensive on this side of the pond.

I like this LG Optimus G E971, reasonably priced with all the great features. I owned Samsung Omina II (I8000) Windows 6.5, Motorola Ming A1200 and Motorola V300 before. All except V300, was manufacture unlocked and bought in Canada. All worked perfectly in North America and Asia with local SIMs. That is why this came as a surprise. If I had known this will be the NA unlocked version, I would plan differently. Such as get a $0 to 299 carrier locked phone and spend $4 to unlock it worldwide.

Hello There
I am new to this group and joined this forum to seek some advice from you guys. I have bought Sony Xperia M (Boost Network, powered by Telstra) in Australia. However, the phone is network unlocked. The phone cost me $200 and now i am visiting my hometown for vacation and to use phone with my country sim, I need to get it unlocked. I called Boost mobile and they said that they will charge me $100 to unlock the device. Can somebody guide me from where I can get it unlocked for cheaper amount, although the cheapest option I found is $25. Or If somebody can help me how to generate network unlock code from IMEI number.
Thanks
