I intend to purchase an XDA IIi from 02 this week....problem is I work overseas and need it unlocked. Even with the minimum line rental for a year 02's price is the best i've seen so far...SO could some kind soul please tell me how I can get one of my relatives in London to unlock the unit.... I'm willing to pay a small fee for the pleasure :lol:
Cheers
Anyone?
SOme people say you can only use 02 simcards, some say they can easily use other simcards?
Whats true?
thanks
I bought mine from the O2 online shop and had it delivered mid last week.
I can't speak for everyone but mine is definately unlocked as i'm using my work Voda SIM in it 8)
Had one from online and one from shop, both unlocked!
Hi guys,
is there any online shop selling Exec at retail price?If there is,pls post here.
Thanks
OK with Orange SIM
works fine
hi guys i was thinking of getting a set under a 12month tariff, which right now online is 150quid. could someone confirm for me if the SIM is locked or unlocked under that plan (the online50, i think)? dont want to go back to singapore and find it cant work with my local SIM card...
thanks for the help
My XDA Exec works with the O2 and Vodafone 3G SIMs. PS look at my thread on how you could get the Exec for less than £300
I have a business O2 XDA Exec monthly contract and it is unlocked.
cheers

As far as I know the o2 Xda Exec's come unlocked.
My own Exec arrived unlocked and I have tried a foreign SIM with it.
Having said all that - there is no guarantee, and o2 staff don't know much about that.
In the worst case - just return the device to o2 within the first couple of weeks.
Hope this helps...
thanks a lot guys! now to go get one!!!
cheers
Hi, some please help,
i have a MDA Pro but it's Simlocked?
what can i do for take it out?
Thank's for the help...
Sory if something is wrong, my english is no so well ...
if you need a programms or games for your PDA, i can help...
It depends on where/how you got your MDA Pro. T Mobile UK WILL unlock in-contract handsets for a fee (£15 or £20, seems a little random), but only for the contract-holder and only if the handset came with that contract.
I've just helped a chap outside the UK get an MDA Vario as I was out of contract and needed a web'n'walk type tariff. The same day that I signed the contract and collected the handset, T Mobile agreed to send me the unlock code. They said it should take two to four weeks to arrive.
HTH
I have it from Germany, one people bay it for me in the shop, but it have SimLock, and i have no idea what i can make with it... :roll:
imeicheck offers unlock for the Vario..
not for the mdapro yet .. but can't be far off hehehe
Only thing is, to do it a bodged way from imei check costs £20...
To get a proper code from T-Mobile costs £15...
:lol:

Well, I don't know where you get that, but in Holland T-Mobile charges 120 Euro's to unlock it.
yup
they charge 15 pounds in the uk if you can prove that the vario or mdapro is bought together with your contract, and it takes 28 days to get the code :shock:
Most people buy these phones without contract or 2ndhand, that means they have to find an alternative way to unlock the phone. then 20pounds is cheap.
and in holland they are totally and untterly looney... they dare to ask 100euros +
So as soon imeicheck has a 'bodged' way to unlock my mda pro i will gladly pay 20 pounds to do so.
:twisted:
It took a total of 3 days for me to get my unlock code from T-Mobile. They were more than helpful about it, and they even sent it me on paper the day after!
SIMlock
Well, that SIM lock it seems to bother quite some people, including me. My suggestion is do not buy locked MDA Pro, Only unlocked. the cheapest ones with no contracts and unlocked are PDAhuis.nl for 709 euro the same price you pay for a locked in e-bay or other auction sites I you include transport unlocking calling faxing and all that.
From what I looked arround is that the simlock depend on IMEI (wich can be manipulated then with any working unlock code can be unlock) has anyone tried something like that?

lol
hej mate,
ever ordered something from pdahuis.nl? LOL
being dutch myself i heard they have waitingtimes which are increddible.. if you get it at all LOL
cheapest in holland is smartphonestunts.nl.. and that is 750 euros for a tmobile locked one :twisted: but they deliver!!

does calling t-mobile germany actualy work if you are not from germany? Even when you didn't buy the phone in germany?
The costs of the unlocking from a german T-mobile MDA pro is 99 Euro

Seems to me he means you can get it for free too if you got an agreement with t-mobile and if you do not even live in germany.
Is that true?

O2 Exec can work with T-Mobile in US , but your Exec should be unlock otherwise don't work , if you bought from Ebay should ask seller is unlock or not, you can try to email to O2 customer services ask them give you unlock code, I bought XDAIIs from Ebay in May,2005 , I did email to O2 ask them for unlock they email back to me with unlock code,good luck
