Hi.My brother recenlty bought an unlocked t-mobile branded "magician".He put his o2 uk simcard in and can't get the gprs settings.I have a jam myself and so went onto club imate and downloaded the operator settings for o2 uk and installed them onto his device.Problem is they don't seem to work.Is there something were missing here?Something extra that needs doing with it orginally being t-mobile?please someone help!
kind regards
Sorry must of clikced twice.Sorry for double posting
surely somone out there has done this!bought and unlocked mda compact and used it with a different sim!!!!
I am hoping to get a wizard as soon as they come out and it looks like O2 and Vodaphone will be first. Do both these carriers lock their phones? I currently have an Orange and a t-mobile account so would prefer to use my existing sims and just use the new account as a means to "spead the payment costs" (I got my jam for free 9 months ago for the price of a £22 p/m contract )
If they do lock their phones does anyway know if the existing unlock methods will work.
On a different note, I much prefer the look of the qtek 9100 to the k-jam - are there any hardware differences apart from the look?

I'm %90 sure they do... plus as a rule Vodafone butcher the firmware of most phones.
Get either a Imate or Qtek you should find it unlocked as its not a 'branded' phone.
I would suggest that buymobilephones.net is the best place as you can get one of the above with a contract... I am...

Hello
My Question is if you can down grade the universal to WM2003SE
if you can do that you can use the unlock code we got on this forum
and if it is unlocked up grade to magneto (windows2005)
has anny one done this[/b]
Wouldnt make any difference as the Lock is held in the Radio Rom I beleive.
There also is no wm2003se for universal, it was designed as a 2005 device from start to end.
Nice idea, but I think making a working Unlock tool for the standard universal is a better idea.
is the o2 exec locked at all?
im travelling a lot between germany and uk, and therefore want to use my o2 plan simcard as well as my german eplus simcard.
The shop assistant in the o2 shop told me that i CAN use non-O2 simcards in the universal (o2 xda exec) without any problem. Could I also use a Orange PAYG simcard?
How much was it to officially unlock the phone?
thanks
Ive not received mine yet, but its possible they dont lock it. Unlikely though.
Can anyone with an Exec confirm if its provider locked?
Mine was unlocked on delivery. Also if you search these forums everyone else is reporting theres where not locked.
Can confirm that my Exec wasn't locked, tried both a Vodafone SIM and an Orange PayGo SIM with no problem.

theres no point downgrading to wm2k3....you'll only run into more problems...
wm2k3 is built to share ram for both ram and rom.....so, that means, your 43meg partition would have to be divided....and thats just too bad! So, i guess, you just need to stick with wm5 for the time being....and hope for a good rom update to come by!
Best,
San
I asked the woman at O2 this morning if it's locked and she said it would be... I'll let you know when I get it on Monday.
Hi guys,
I'm looking forward to get myself a QTEK 9100 but I am from Canada and getting one is pretty hectic. As a result, I turned myself on ebay to look for one.
The prices of the Factory unlocked QTEK 9100 are just ridiculous. Obviously their prices were boosted.
I was then looking to see that I could get myself a T-MOBILE MDA.
I understand it is the same, and im pretty sure you guys have heard this million of times.
I was wondering to unlock this cellphone would lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker UPDATE Version 0.2b be enough?
After unlocking, would it behave like a "factory unlocked" QTEK 9100?
Also would anybody know a place where I could get myself a QTEK 9100 in Canada or that ships to canada and that has resonable prices? Otherwise i will go with the T-Mobile MDA
Would it be smarter to just wait to buy the HTC TyTN?
I know i wouldnt be able to use the 3G Features here because the network is not there yet.
Thank you for your time guys
can only answer the Lokiwiz question, yes it is enough. Used it myself before upgrading to X's custom 2.26. Good luck with your other ?'s
Im not sure if i read this correctly, but I think what I understood from it, that T-MOBILE had a sim unlocker and a rom updater that was available free?
Hi
I'm off to the US in a month. I've got an unlocked UK MDA Vario ROM 1.6.2.4 WWE Radio 01.12.10. I've ordered a couple of T-mobile prepaid sims from the US so that my family and I can keep in touch over there without being stung by rediculous roaming charges. I gather the Vario will work with my own sim over there but will it work if I put the US sim in it? or do I need to start changing the ROM of the phone?
(I've also got an M1000 (UK) and a couple of Siemens CL75 poppy phones which are also unlocked and should work over there with UK sims)
If there's no joy with my existing phones I'll just get a couple of cheap prepay phones when I'm over there but I'd prefer not to if I don't need to.
Many thanks
Regards

YUP !!!
It'll work perfectly,provided as you say its SIM unlocked,but if its not sim unlocked then I'm afraid,you won't be able to use t-mobile sims.Download the WST tool and verify the locked/unlocked status of your phone or insert sim of any other network in the phone other then the official sim you are using and check if it works or not.
Cheers!
Many thanks Zabardast_1.That's good news. Yes it works with any uk SIM in it (except 3 of course). I unlocked it a while back.
Kind regards

It should work
Hello twojags,
I'm also using a SIM-unlock WIZARD (German version) with a US t-mobile prepaid-SIM.
It works without any problems...
