Hi, my question is STRANGE, but I read in other Topic that the GUY only UPDATE the T-Mobile USA with WM2003 ROM (4.00.16) and his phone is Unloking.
This is true???, so, How can I Know if my Phone is Locked or not??
Thanks friends.
¡¡Salud!!-2
well.... basicaly, if you can put ANY SIM in your phone and it works, its unlocked. but if only the sim from where you got the phone works, its locked!
Thanks ntabikha, but ... NO is Possible check inside the PocketPC???, any Option or any program???
Thanks.

Ive tried myself and searched EVERYWHERE and have not been able to find a SIM Unlock for my G4
use lokiwiz
I successfully unlocked my boyfriend's wizard G4 using lokiwiz 3.0 check it out:

Seems My Phone Is Already Unlocked???
Ok.. So I talked to Unicel today and apparantly my Wizard was sent to me already CID and SIM unlocked... What is the easiest way to test it out to see if it it CID and SIM unlocked??
It is sure that you can SIM unlock the G4 freely by using the software the guy gave above.
I am using a G4 and it is sim-unlocked.
To test it whether it is sim unlocked or not, just put in another sim card rather than 3G simcard. If it is working, then unlocked, otherwise, sim locked.
At the moment there is no free way to do the CID unlocked thing for G4. To pay to unlocked your G4, check the wizzard wiki.
To check whether your G4 is CID unlocked or not, use the Mtty. I am also looking for it.
Last but not least, people here are working for G4 CID unlocking. Hopefully, we will get free unlock software in the near future. Again, i am also waiting for it.
Sorry if this is asked constantly, i tried searching and couldn't see any threads about it.
Basically what i'm wanting to know is if it's possible to unlock a phone that's still locked to a specific carrier (eg, optus or telstra if you're in australia). is this what CID unlocking is?
If so, then i guess i can grab a hermes / jasjam from ebay that's selling for less because it's carrier locked, unlock it, and use it with my current sim card?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
You're definately new with a question like that
Basically CID unlocking allows you to flash a ROM from any carrier and use it.
SIM unlocking allows you to use any SIM card with your existing (or any other) ROM.
If all you want to do is use a stock phone with any carrier I suggest you use POF's CID and SIM unlocker http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock.
If you want to get better ROMS you'll need to do a whole pile more reading, and before flashing anything else start with Olipro's Hard-SPL 2.10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722 and Mrvanx's Upgrade Guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462.

so all i'd need to do, assuming i keep the stock rom, is to sim unlock it?
Yep, if you SIM unlock you can use the phone as supplied but with any carriers SIM card.
Oh yes, welcome to XDA-developers - I think if you read a bit more you will realise the benefits of the cooked ROMs here and later want to upgrade - it's highly addictive

One further bit of advice if buying one of these phones from ebay - ask the seller for a picture of the phone when switched on so you can check it has a radio signal - also get him to confirm that it doesn't display NO GSM on the bottom right when it is booting. The NO GSM indicates a brick which may or may not be fixable by the tools we have here.

cheers for the reply
at the moment i've got an imate k-jam, and have been reading up about cooked roms etc, but didn't realise exactly what the unlocking involved (except that it let you play with the roms).
Can any body help me to Unlock my T-Mobile HTC Wing / P4350.
What kind of unlock are you trying to do?
CID unlock - software
SIM unlock - carrier
You can HARDSPL to CID unlock your phone.
Unfortunately, there is no SIM unlock option available at this time on XDA. You can either google "IMEI check" and go thru them, or if you have a Tmobile account that's been active for a few months, you can call them and ask them to unlock your phone.
I dont know whether we have to go with CID unlock - software or
SIM unlock - carrier.
Right now I am in US and I want to use the mobile in India
What you have to do is Sim Unlock it, because I'm assuming there is no T-mobile in India...
Now I am in US, I want to use it in India.
Can you please let me know how to SIM unlock my wing.......
call them and ask them to send you the unlock code.'
They'll do it
Right now I'm not with T-Mobile so I can not contact them in unlocking the mobile. Is there any other alternate way to unlock my Wing?
let me get this right
you have a wing but you don't have a tmo sim? what?
Use a paid service. You'll have to know the IMEI number (easy enough)
Recommendations, anyone?
Hey guys, please excuse my noobness, I have read thoroughly but I am still confused!
I have an O2 Orbit (ie Artemis) and I am going to the USA soon.
I've become a bit confused as to what I need to do to my Artemis to get it working with a prepay sim in the states.
I've seen the posts about cid unlocking, but I'm not sure if that's the same as a sim unlock, and I don't want to brick my phone!
I'm not too bothered about cooked roms etc, I have updated to WM6 and I'm reasonably happy with it, I just want to be able to use my phone in the USA.
Would someone be kind enough to take the time to explain what I need to do?
Thanks
I forgot to add, I tried this tutorial to perform a sim unlock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400445
but unfortunately the 'artemis sim unlock' download link is broken
I think it should already work in the US. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that only phones bought in the US from a provider are SIM-locked. CID unlocking is only used to help you flash your phone to a different ROM, which, as you already mentioned, you are not interested in doing.
I see, so CID unlocking is nothing to do with what I want, I simply need a SIM unlock, assuming my phone is SIM locked.
SIM locking is normal practice for UK service providers, so I assume it is locked.
Is there any way I can tell if my phone is SIM locked, or do I have to test it by putting a SIM card from a different provider in it?
