How to unlock MDA Compact? please...

Can some one please tell me how I can unlock my T-Mobile MDA Compact?
The site imei-check.co.uk says that it will
:arrow: Cost £20
:arrow: Take upto 48h
:arrow: AND they require photo ID
So basicaly my driving licence with my address on it.
not something I am willing to send to some unknown people.
I have used the utility I got from the site, to get the unlocking information.
it looks encrypted - does anyone know how to extract the unlocking code from it?
Thanks in advance!

I'd be very wary of giving people my full address, as well as my credit card details... especially when their website uses BLINK tags. Avoid.

Hello!
They are reliable. It´s a seious company! They have alot of happy customers.
Björn

That may be so, but I still do not want to send anybody a scan of my driving licence.
and, I am sure a free solution must exist!
I am quite surprised that no one has posted it. (or am I looking in the wrong places?)

Free soultion would be contacting your vendor (o2, t-mobile, ...), from where you get your phone and ask them after the unlocking code....
Stefan

I got the unit second hand, and anyway the "vendor" in UK charges customers for unlock code.
There are plenty of FREE solutions available, however, they do not seem to work on my model

I'm from Poland, and I can't register @ PayPal... what should I do?

This is why I Like forums
You beg for help, some people say they have the same problem, others advise you to do what you do not want to do, and then the thread dies... without the solution :?

if its a second hand device and you dont have paypal find a friend that has and see if they can help, if you are unwllling to send photo id's they just go to your carrier and wait on them to get back to you with the details..... it doesnt get any simplier than that

I did not by the phone from a person I know personally.
If I were to do so, I would request that hypothetical person to get the unlocking code from T-mobile. Alas, that was not the case, and I am stuck with a phone that I cannot use.
I know that a software solution is available, I have seen it working, the most difficult part of the procedure is over, all that is left, is to decrypt the file produced by HTC PocketPC Phone Edition simlock remote unlocker. (probably with the password “we_took_you_for_the_ride_ha_ha”) and unlocking code gets calculated.
So once again, the software solution IS available.
Why must I search for friends willing to expose their ID’s on my behalf?
I have nothing to hide, in fact, I run a business, and my name can be checked on the http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ but I do not send copies of my documents to people who, as the Chinese gentlemen rightfully points out, use BLINKing text on their webpage
AND whose “business” address is
50 Belmont Street
Kilsyth
Glasgow
G65 9UP
Just see this map

Hi there,
I'm the Director of the IMEI-CHECK (brand of MIGsofT LTD UK --check us with company house too please), and we ask for the ID JUST to check that you are the real OWNER of the paypal account. Buying via paypal, we already have you details (NAME + ADDRESS) and the ID it will JUST confirm IT, THAT'S all.
Also MIGsofT Ltd signed the DATA PROTECTION ACT (please feel free in checking that too) so all your data are safe with us, and the address you posted is the correct one (please feel free to mail us some nice post cards, and if you want to visit our office please make an appointment first!).
We had to introduce this protection to avoid people buying with hijacked accounts, because two weeks ago we caught one of the big scammers/phishers and now police is investigating this and paypal and eBay need (a much to long) time to investigate.
So to protect ourselves we had to install this extra protection.
The seller is not getting any money if was used by hijacked paypal accounts. Even worse we have to pay GBP7 / reversed transaction...
To keep this service online we request something which proves identity of the paypal account holder. So the hijacker (which sold for 15GBP on eBay) will not have a chance anymore. We have to continue until police arrested this guy (full address and name are known)
Also the blinking text is really needed since 99% of customers will not read what not blink (we tried with red and bold and nobody read it so we had to do something)

what about users, that can't register to PayPal?

noone will help me

In the end, I paid £30 to a friend of mine who does unlocking as hobby.
I sent him the file produced by the HTC unlocking application, and he texted me the unlocking code. 8)
I am now a happy owner of a MDA compact; everything works the way I want, except voice dialling. :shock: But that is another issue altogether.
P.S. to the director of the IMEI unlocking company:
The address looks like residential to me…

FYI: Information for T-Mobile MDA Compact Users re: ROM upg

Here's a note from Customer Services I received today.
Hello xxxxxx (name removed to protect privacy)
Thanks for your email about the ROM upgrade for the MDA Compact.
I've checked with our technical department, and we don't have a date scheduled for an upgrade yet. The reason is that we're looking at offering the Blackberry service on the MDA Compact, and if this is successful both upgrades will go ahead at the same time.
The best thing to do in the meantime is to keep checking our website, and as soon as any more information is available, it'll be on there.
Thanks again for your email, and I hope the information I've given you is helpful.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to reply to this email, or contact us from our website.
Kind regards

New User - no mms choices on messageing (email or text only)

Hi there,
Am having serious probs creating mms or receiving anything. New XDA mini s user, contract sim but bought xda as separate purchase. Installed MMS settings as per various forums, still nothing.
I CANT EVEN CREATE ANYTHING!!! The messaging part doesn't offer me the choice....I've tried everything and am ready to throw it in the bin.
:x
What am i doing wrong? Have i got to subscribe to data packets or somthing or tell 02 i have this new handset to get the right info?
PLEASE HHEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!

for those who wanted to know my predicament and the answer...when i hard reset xda mini s, i thought the screen had frozen and did soft reset, but if i'd waited 1-2 mins, then the 02 settings appeared and installed.
So patience was the name of the game...Post closed!

Send Contacts using SMS's

Dear All,
i have tired from searching for an application to enable me send a contact details using SMS. after a long search i found a similar application called RJV SendContact (http://www.airfagev.com/forum_view.asp?msg_id=52421) , but it is for smart phones. do anyone know a similar application that can work with our PPC Wizard devices.

Can't help, but i would like one too.
Yet another big shortfall with WM5. I mean, FFS, Vcard's have been a standard feature in mobiles for years.

Hi there.
Try looking/searching for Sunnysoft Vcard. Google it and you will know that it is what you guys are looking for.
Regards.
Morisa

Try Vazu.
I used it back about two years ago when they first offered it as a free beta. I used it for a year and then they tried to start charging for it. But I see now that they are once again offering the service free of charge, except for international SMS messages.
BTW, I have no connection of any kind with them, except that I used it for a while.
Good luck.

this is for sending sms for the us, but not Vcards from your device.

I don't know if it's just US or not, but you can upload your contacts (read: vCards) to their site and they will then be sent to your phone via SMS.
That info may be beyond the main page - read through the site and you'll see what I'm talking about. I used it about two years ago when they first established the site to send about 200 Outlook contacts from my PC to a Motorola T720 (Ugh 0 what a dog that phone was!)
OK - I copied the link directly to the page that explains how to import contacts from Outlook, Outlook Express, Apple Mail, or Ximian Evolution (Whatever that is) for transmission directly to your cell phone:
https://www.vazu.com/help/import_contact.php

Many Thanks
Many Thanks for your effort, it can be a replacement

I use this small program. it adds "Sens as Vcard"to the contactsmenu, when you hold your stylus on a contact.
And it recognises Vcards when you recieve them.
I don't know where I found this so I attach it to this post, I hope this is not Illegal. Otherwise Google for vCardforminiS.cab
good luck

Great App, but i google for it i did not find anything concerning this app, anyway , thanks alot

I could not find it with google eather, sorry for the wrong tip

o2 sms has this feature
The O2 SMSprogram has this feature. Someone on this forum posted the version that can be installed on the Wizard. I tried it once but found it a bit slow. Then again I was running the original Cingular Rom which sucked big time. Search for the thread and try it out. The only drawback is that the application does not eliminate the messages from also showing up in the default WM5 messaging application.

I tried installing it in my phone. It says Installation unsuccessful. Am I doing anything wrong ?

[Q] How to best combine with phone for sms in UK

Now that its finally getting warmer in the UK and I won't always have a jacket to put my TAB in I have dug out my old HTC Touch HD phone.
I have my main SIM in the phone and have a data only SIM for the TAB. I love using the TAB for SMS / Email and wondered if anyone has a good way of combining phone / TAB usage, using the TAB for SMS where possible without SIM swapping. The WebSMS solutions don't appear to work within the UK.
Cheers

This is by no means a perfect solution, but you could look at apps like WhatsApp or Kik, which are basically a cross between SMS and IM, but use your data plan to send messages. It obviously means that you can only message people that also have the same app installed, but both those apps run on Android and iOS, so that covers a lot of ground.
I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread myself, out of curiosity, to see if there's a web-based alternative.

Cheers. Was wondering about going down the IM route. Now that more people are getting tariffs with data it may be an option.
