Htccode.com
Buy an unlock code from one of the many sellers on ebay for about 10 quid. Insert a non Orange sim in the phone and enter the unlock code when prompted, and then enter it a second time. Job done

Hi there, I too have an Orange branded Desire which I would like to get unlocked.
Could you pls tell me which service you used, and were u able to get the phone unlocked?
The only drawback to buying a phone on eBay is watch out for fraud, if they claim on their insurance saying the Desire was lost or stolen, itll get IMEI Blocked, so no matter what network its on its fooked!
there is a thread on this somewhere im sure of it

Hi guys,
I plan to buy a HTC Wildfire for my brother but unfortunately, the phone is Network Locked.
Is there any change we have a program or something that would unlock it for free?
I really don't trust the sites a la : www.unlockyourphone.com ... and Vodafone won't unlock it for free.
Thanks and really looking for an answer.
Best Regards,
DH
I bought mine from Vodafone and they unlocked it for free, on the spot. I did not extend my contract with them, I just bought the phone.
P.S: I`m from Romania.

If u are in the uk, get it from somewhere like carphone (all their phones are unlocked and debranded) or sim free from expansys
Did you manage to unlock your phone? I also have a Vodafone romania locked wildfire and don't know what to do about it. Thanks.
Vodafone unlock contract sims for free.
Will only unlock free paygo if the older than 1 year.
You'll have to pay.
I used htccode. No problems.

I am with Vodafone on 30 days contract sim only and I bought my wildfire on pay as you go. I phoned customer services and they unlocked for me free of charge.

Free Unlocking is not possible to get for the Latest Phones,So i suggest you to get the paid unlock code to unlock the Phone from Network lock,that is best than using the Unlocking programs and software......You can get the Unlock code from here
Mobileunlocksolutions.com and unlock this is trust-able source..............

Hi you can unlock your mobile by unlock codes and for codes you can try Mobileunlocksolutions and get codes to unlock your mobile..
Hy guys,
First time writing on the forum. I'm from Romania and i have an HTC wildfire locked on vodafone .
I bouught a code from gsmliberty.net...and and and..nope it didn't work...i spent last 3 days chating with them and leaving tickets to the suport team but not any luck iuntill now.
The thind is that after i insert the unlock code under the sim unlock pin message ..it apears an error message that says "incorrect password".
Now..i'ce checked the security under settings and deselect every password that i found including here SIM pass , unlock password , unlock path...everithing i could...but still nothing
Could enyone give me a piece of advice ?
Thank's in advance
For now i cannot say "Sent from my HTC Wildfire"

Complete lie. Both the HTC Desire and the HTC Desire Z can be sim unlocked for free.
Its a shame noone has dedicated some time as there problably is a free way for the Wildfire as well.
We need a version for wildfire
there is a tool "Universal sim unlock for S-off’ed HTC devices" but it doesn't work for wildfire, maybe a hope for the next future, look at sieempi dot eu blog
Doesn't the HTC dev website give you an unlock code for free?

as far as i know htc dev will only allow for custom roms to be used and custom recovery to be put on. will not remove sim lock, carriers would go nuts if it did.
Yes it says in the frequently asked questions that radio and sim lock are still locked and it will still say s on, sim lock is a carrier issue if they unlocked it carriers would kick off as they wouldn't be able to use they're branding effectively.
And radio still being locked might cause problems for cm7 users.

I heard that you could call your carrier to give you the code to unlock your phone, but 3 wouldn't do it unless the phone was on another network and I was joining them. I'm on o2 and wanted to remove 3'a Sim lock, but no joy. could have tried my carrier to.

i went to a phone unlocking shop and they did it there and then for a tenner. also, if you can get your hands on a xtc clip you can s-off and remove sim lock
Hi guys, new here, great community. I did search for this, but could not find what I was after..
I have a new HTC Desire S. S-ON unfortunately. I am traveling Asia in 3 weeks and don't want to be using my UK T-mobile SIM whilst abroad. What I do want, is to buy a SIM card over there and use it. So I have to unlock this phone somehow.
Called T-Mobile, they said they will happily do it for 15 pounds, but it takes 28 days for the code to come back from HTC, this is too long for me as I leave in just 21 days.
I read about sieempi's unlock tool which looks amazing, but seems to be suited just for the Desire, not the Desire S. Has anyone had any luck using the tool with the Desire S?
Also, online it appears you can pay for an unlock code, about 30 pounds or so, you send them your IMEI number and network and they generate you an unlock code. Firstly, does this method reliably work? And secondly, if 3rd party websites have access to a method, does anyone else for free?
Warmest regards all, hope for some good responses!
DJS.
You can try to post this in the Desire S sub-forum, to get more responses.
BTW, no idea about your problem.
Try posting in Desire S forum. Anyway I have used a website in getting an unlock code and it worked for me no problem. Cost me £20 ish.
Swyped...
Hmm...maybe a codes the way then?
There might be a website that does it for free but it will take longer about a day or two. I know there is for blackberry not sure about htc. But yea most websites are fine
No idea about free but you will get a code and not have to send off your phone. I couldn't find a free site for the Desire.

I'm sorry to have to be the one who says this but... you can't unlock the phone meant as debrand it... this could be done just with s-off, wich can't be achieved yet... (if you are very lucky and have an s-off shipped device then you can do it)
Well no you cant S-Off the device ..... but, i am hearing things that you can buy carrier unlock codes on eBay ... don't know exactly how it works. Just giving some info that might get you on the right path
But if you only want it to be used on a different carrier SIM, it is possible. Theres dozens of businesses offering sim unlock codes, even the carriers themselves, for a fee.
So ask Orange or try something like this.
I bought an htc desire off of ebay it turns out it was not unlocked like they said and in fact was a us cellular phone which I cant even get in my area so my question is can someone tell me if and how I can unlock it or what other carrier I could use it on it is also a cdma phone thank you
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can use CDMA in Europe..
Maybe things have changed since I last checked. I wanted to buy a DoCoMo phone and had this problem.
Good luck!
