So wondering if its true to call in to do a sim unlock with tmobile then after flashing a rom would this be a permanent unlock for oother service providers or no? thoughts anyone??
Phones are SIM LOCKED to one specific carrier. Once you SIM unlock it, you can pop in any other carrier SIM card and it will work.
As far as permanent, from my understanding you should be able to flash your phone as much as you want, and it will remain SIM unlocked, but I've never done it personally, so I don't know.

Hi.
I was reading how to use lokwiz for the CID unlock. The website said after you execute the CID unlock, the phone gives you a SIM number to unlock the SIM. It said you have to replace SIM cards during this process. It didn't really make sense to me. When installing Molski's latest ROM do you have to unlock both the CID and SIM or just the CID? If you do have to unlock the SIM as well do you really need to change SIM cards, or was the guy talking out of his ass about the switching of SIM cards?
I appreciate you taking the time to help me.
Thanks.
I ran the unlocked program and everything. is there a way i can tell it's actually locked? I can use old cdma sims and the new cingular sims in my phone.
Try any other activated sim card, if it asked you for an unlock code, it's not unlocked.
I have come across the term "Unlocked HTC HD2/Unlock the SIM card". What is the exact meaning of unlock. If it's locked means we can use the sim card from only the particualr phone carrier. Suppose I am buying the phone from vodafone/starhub, I can use only the vodafone/starhub sim card in the locked device?
Can you please throw some light on it? thanks.

Unlock can have 2 meanings, Security Unlock and SIM unlock.
Security unlock is HSPL that unlocks your flash memory to be able to flash a different OS.
SIM unlock means you can use the device on other carriers' SIMs and you can flash radios from other devices

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to find out how to SIM unlock my G1 without having an AT&T sim card. I have an unregistered T-Mobile sim card available if it could be used at all.
I tried searching but I must be using the wrong search terms because I keep getting results about unlocking using an AT&T sim card to get the request for unlock code to show up.
I have the unlock code, just need to be able to enter it.
dunno if its the same as the UK but I unlocked mine the other day from T-Mobile with an unlock code and all i had to do was to put the wrong sim card in there (i.e. the one u want to use) and then it should prompt you for an unlock code....
Yup, just shove in the ATT SIM card and it will ask for your code...
Hello, I recently purchased a supposedly unlocked note 3 N900W8 variant however when I put in my rogers sim card I get the message "Network Locked Sim Card Inserted" and it prompts me to enter a code. I read through a couple of threads and have some questions.
1. Some people fixed this by buying an unlock code but I don't see why I need to do this if my phone is already unlocked? Or is my phone not really unlocked
2. I saw the tool Region Away and was debating on whether to root my phone and try it but some people said that the phone will get messed up since the canadian variant is already region unlocked?
How can I use the phone with my sim?
Thanks for the help
