Do you have a working SIM card from AT&T or T-Mobile in the SIM slot?

Call VZW and ask.
On ebay it's a ton of services about whitestone unlock, and my problem was an issue on the operating band of GSM for example in the USA you must use 950/1900 on other countries like Costa Rica you need 1800, thanks to all for your help
You should be able to contact VZW and have them unlock it so you can use whatever carrier SIM you have for the country/area you are in. The stock SIM is Vodaphone and I think will only work where Vodaphone service exists. Otherwise make sure the phone is in Global and not CDMA only. Go to the Settings Tab, click Menu then select Phone Network Mode select Network tab.
I called verizon and they gave me codes to unlock both my phones. I slapped an ATT sim into my imagio and it was working on the ATT network, no problem at all.
Hi, where do you enter the sim unlock code on Imagio?
Thanks.

I just got off the phone with Verizon in regard to this.
Below is what I found. The Global Verizon Rep will be happier if you enter the code while you are on the phone with them; they want to verify that it works. It actually took about 10 minutes.
Here is what I found: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/htc-imagio/138569-how-unlock-verizon-imagio-sim-card.html
If you are going to be traveling abroad or simply want your Imagio to be unlocked its very easy to do and should only take about 3-5 minutes on the phone with Verizon.
Call 1(800)-711-8300 from a different phone, enter your Verizon phone number, then select option 2.
Tell them that you will be traveling abroad and plan to just buy a pre-paid SIM card when you get there, and that you simply need the unlock code for your phone. They will check your account standings, and then give you an 8 digit code.
You need to enter the code in the security section of your phone.
With TF3D...
Start>Settings> All Settings> Personal> Security
Without TF3D Enabled...
Start> Settings> Personal> Security
One you do this, soft reset your phone and you are all done. I can take my work phones SIM card (AT&T), put it in my Imagio, and use my Imagio for work now. I did not test the data yet because I do not have data on my AT&T plan. Although if anyone does this and wants to check it, keep in mind you will have to change the number for the data line. both Sprint and Verizon use #777. I am not sure what AT&T or TMobile use.
I have an Imagio from VERIZON.
I had unlocked the GSM network, Should I Unlock the CDMA network as well if I want to use the CDMA Net work?
or I jus need 1 unlock code for both GSM and CDMA?
So, I will have 2 no. in 1 phone one is injected, and another one is using sim card.
Hello!
I was wondering if anyone could please help me with an issue I am having with my HTC Trophy (locked for Verizon)
I am looking to unlock it to use with a Trinidadian SIM card for when I return home, but it is prompting me for an unlock code when I put the phone into GSM mode. It says "This SIM card can only be used on specific networks. Contact your customer service center for the unlock code"
On Global Mode it also says locked/PIN required, on CDMA it does not show a carrier but will prompt me over to Verizon customer support to activate the phone (which I do not want to do)
I called Verizon; they won't give me an unlock code and the Unlock-code eBay the sellers I have contacted said it MUST have a 14 digit code; but I only have 13...
I am attaching a photo of the information of my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
photo link (no space between http) http ://c1205.hizliresim.com/x/c/5nlrq.jpg
Check the inside of the phone, under the battery to see if there is another digit to your IMEI.. it has 14 digits in your photo.. so I don't know why you'd think there was only 13 .. that's the number you need.
I wonder if anyone knows a good service for doing this on Trophy 7 for Verizon. I know mwang has his security unlocked to use his on T-Mobile., I wonder if he used a service?
Verizon will normally provide you with an unlock code if you have service with them, and you tell them you are traveling internationally.
Ah sorry I meant the eBay unlock code sellers told me I would need a 15 digit, not a 14 digit IMEI to unlock this dual CDMA/GSM device. However I found a seller that was able to do it; r.ebay.com/FYDQfX
and now; SUCCESS img: e1205.hizliresim.com/x/f/5tm57.jpg
Also to clarify; what was causing me grief was that by dialing *#06# gives you the MEID, which starts with 'A' and to my knowledge is not used to unlock a dual CDMA/GSM device.
IF you press *#06# you should be getting 17 digits.
You can also check the Settings sections in mobile, that will also show you the IMEI number, or remove battery from the phone, it should be printed on white sticker.
Thanks
Just used an unlock code from the eBay seller mentioned in the above post; worked perfectly! The only issue I'm having now is that I'm only getting Edge wireless. I set it to use 3g and GSM on my HTC Trophy using a Straight Talk sim, but it just connects to the Edge network instead. The APN I'm using is att.mvno
Any suggestions? I know the Verizon Trophy supports HSPA+ 2100MHz
Did you ever get 3g on your phone Fad?
Yeah, try this. Go to the market, HTC.. then download/install "Connection Setup." Run that app and set it to whatever carrier you are using. That should get everything up and running for you.
If you still aren't getting 3G data speeds, check Straight Talk's coverage map and see if 3G is offered in your area. Straight Talk uses AT&T towers in many areas, and I know in my area... 3G is a no go.
Thank you so much for the response!
I did a lot of reading on the HTC Connection Setup app, and it should help those that are using T-mobile or AT&T, however, it does not have a Straight Talk profile, which is the carrier I'm using; apparently it doesn't work with .mvno APNs very well.
However, they have been bombarded with Straight Talk customers asking for support, and it's only a matter of time before they add one, supposedly.
I've spoken with a few other HTC Trophy users and all of them were also able to get their phones unlocked, but they could only get Edge data as well. Hopefully the connection setup app will help them!
Try contacting Stiaght Talk for the apns. They should be able to provide them to you... Then post them here. ;-)
Well, unfortunately the HTC Connection Setup app does not allow you to manually edit the APN. It only allows you to select a preset one and as I said before, they do not have a Straight Talk profile as of now.
The only editing you can do on a Windows Phone without an app, is just the actual APN, Proxy, Port, Username, and Password. You cannot edit the MMS APN settings sadly enough.
The APN settings for Straight Talk are the following:
APN: att.mvno
MMS APN: att.mvno
MMSC: I'll have to edit when I have permission to post an http link
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33:80
Max Size: 600
Leave the rest of the settings blank, this has worked on other smartphones for full data speeds and MMS compatibility.
I have since factory reset my HTC Trophy and tried connecting to Straight Talk and AT&T with data above Edge, this was unsuccessful; a reset will not fix the radio. The only thing I can think of is that when HTC and Verizon pushed the Mango update on the Trophy, it changed the radio since it is suppose to support AT&T's spectrum. I purchased an HTC Titan on eBay and am now using that as my phone; I'm getting full HSPA+ speeds. The only issue with Straight Talk on Windows Phone is the MMS APN settings, I cannot receive picture or video text messages since it cannot be edited.
Hopefully HTC will add a Straight Talk profile, or allow its customers to change the settings Manually within the App.
Good luck to anyone with an unlocked Trophy, I cannot get above edge data or MMS working on Straight Talk.
Oh, you don't need an app! As long as you have Mango or above rom installed, you can edit/add the apn by going to Settings=>Cellular=>add APN button at bottom of screen.
You cannot edit the MMS APN, only the data APN by doing that. As I said, this will enable you to get full data, but you cannot get picture or video text messages until we can fully edit the MMS APN.
Oh, hrm. I wonder if there is a way in the registry? Let me look at the Verizon packages and see if I can find the registry settings. There must be a way.

Okay, I think I might have found a way to make MMS work on Straight Talk using manual editing. You will need a fully unlocked phone with registry edit to do this.
First, download and install Connections setup. Apply AT&T settings (I'm hoping this will give you the full set of values you need to edit).
Now, open up register editor and navigate to: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ShortMsg\MMS\Profiles\ATT
I'm not sure what values to edit to what. If you find the equivalent AT&T settings vs Straight Talk, you should be able to figure it out.
I'm wondering if we can edit Connection Setup similar to how it was edited for Interop unlock for HTC to add additional carriers to the list. The new version of Connection Setup (1.15) seems like it has selection for carriers then 1.14A (the version that worked with Interop) and 1.14B (the secret rerelease that was released after interop unlock). You'd still need an unlocked phone before hand, but it'd be much better then nothing at all.
If I knew anything about making xaps, we could make a xap to apply the settings once we confirm what works.
As for Verizon radios possibly being the issue, if you have an HSPLed phone, I have a radio thread and anyone can try EVERY radio to find one that works (I'd start at the newest and work your way back).
Trophy supports only 2100MHz UMTS. You will never get above Edge speeds anywhere in North America.
I unlocked my HTC Trophy for use with AT&T. Works fine but if using the phone to call someone, it shows up on their caller ID as "Private Number". Have you managed to get it to show the real number? If so, could you email me how you managed to do it? Many thanks.

SIM unlock code
It appears that ebay link in this post is not valid anymore. Can someone recommend me reliable online service for unlocking my verizon SparkW. I am confused a little, because it seems that according to experiences of other people, unlocking phone this way is not successful every time. Is there another way for SIM unlock (except asking verizon for code...)
Hello i was wondering if anyone knows how to get the msl number. I am using a sprint galaxy s7 rooted and unlocked currently have a verizon phone and its domestic roaming hoping unlocking the lte bands will help with that.
Any information would be appreciated. I do not have an account with sprint so calling them doesnt really work.
I told sprint i was going to Europe for a month and i needed the MSL number to unlock the phone so i can have a temporary provider service me over there. They gave it to me

I tryed to tell them that but they would not help me because i dont have a sprint account.
If your rooted there are aps in google play that can get you the MSL number MSL reader, code. Give it a shot
Have tryed the apps and none are able to get it. Still searching for a way to find my code.
Try PDANET at junefabrics.com no root needed install to phone and laptop make a search for foxfi key to fully activate it. It has USB Bluetooth for wireless . On your laptop PDANET can create wifi hotspot so you can connect other devices
Any one know the service password for Verizon in hidden menu?
Usually all zeros (000000) for verizon sold phones, but if it's not that, you could activate on RingPlus w/ a compatible SIM and it will tell you the MSL once you activate
Edit: You could maybe do the same on Boost Mobile, except that doesn't even require paying for activation. but you do need the Sprint SIM -- it will ask you for payment or 'later' -- and then it will give you them MSL. Used that trick to get the MSL on a Moto E on Marshmallow.
I switched my Sprint S7 to FreedomPop and under about phone instead of my new phone number with FreedomPop it shows Unknown for the number. Does anyone know how to reprogram that? I swear I did it with my S5 when I sold it to my brother in law so it showed his Straight Talk number. I have the MSL code if it requires that but can't seem to get any codes to get into the programming menu to change the MDN. I tried Sprint chat but they wouldn't tell me the code used to program it, even though if I would have to manually program the phone to get it onto their network (potentially) they did outline that I would have a 6 digit code to enter to program the MDN as my phone number.
I believe Freedompop uses voice over data so you won't have a phone number on the phone like you would with a regular carrier.
