I bought a htc touch cdma from Bell and I want to know if this only works on Bel or if it works on any network.
I already cid unlock to flash the rom with any rom.
It's necessary to unlock like we do with the sim phones?
Thank you.

When i got the Cingular 8125, and before I did the ROM Upgrade to 2.17.7.2 WWE, I did the recommended CID Superunlock. As far as I could tell everything went great. Unlocking this phone, to me at least, meant that I would be able to use it on other non-Cingular GSM networks. A little bit ago a friend who is on t-Mobile needed to use my phone to make a phone call. He put his sim card in my phone and gave it a shot. When the phone started i was getting an error message about a network being locked. I do not remember the exzct wording.
Any ideas if this implies that the unlocking procedure i did di not work succesfully? or am I missunderstanding what the unlock procedure is meant to do? Is there another unlock procedure to make this phone usable with other providers other then Cingular?
Thank you
The CID unlock allows the installation of firmware with a different "brand" than your hardware was sold as. It has nothing to do with the GSM SIM. Use the latest version of lokiwiz to SIM-unlock your phone. Do a search for lokiwiz and read up on it.
use Lokwiz to SIM Unlock it. CID unlock allows you to flash other Roms.

Yupe.... I did what 'Kyphur' mentioned to used my Tmobile card in my Cingular 8125. I bought Cingular because I like the 'Square' compare to the round design that vario have.
I bought it in a computer center and separately choosed an operator (Bouyguestel) to work with.
I have no SIM from any other operator to check if i can access to the network. (or i have to ask a friend for it tomorow !)
Is it possible to know that by only entering my IMEI in a specialised website ?
I want to flash my P3300 with WM6 and the latest ROMs.

CID and Network are totally different things. Your device might be SIM unlocked but CID locked and vice versa. If your device is SIM locked. You have to pay some money to unlock it. If it is SIM unlocked but CID locked, it does not matter. You can put any ROM on your device as long as it is alive.

As far as I know a device is ALWAYS CID Locked until you unlock it! and with the Artemis, the only way to do this is to pay some money to www.imei-check.co.uk so as long as you did not pay them to unlock the device it is CID-LOCKED.

Correct, listen to him if you like your phone.
Thanks all for your precisions.
So i just can update my OS Rom, but if i don't want to crash my artemis, i should unlock its CID before radio or other Rom update.

My 02xda after an upgrade for wm6 stop at 02 boot screen, what can i do now???
help me please.
I have just bought a 8125 running 1.8.11.1 rom, 11/24/05. This phone is unlocked and I am using my old AT&T sim. If I upgrade to the new 2.25 rom will my phone still work with the AT&T blue sim.
Thanks so much!!!!
followup
Just checked and it is not cid unlocked. How can this be working with my blue sim?
Will the new cingular 2.25 update diasable my phone.
Thanks so much for your input!!!
Cid unlocking unlocks your phone for using custom kitchens. Sim unlocking unlocks your phone to use other providers sim cards. It is best to unlock both. Use lokiwiz. There is a sticky somewhere in the wizard section of xda that will tell you how to do it. Read everything carefully. Any modifications you do, you do at your own risk. Read the wiki, the stickies, etc before customizing. By reading it, you understand the how's and why's.
If my phone is simm unlocked now and I upgrade rom to 2.25 off HTC cingular sight will it still work with my AT&T blue simm?
Thanks!
As I said before...once cid/sim unlocked, always cid/sim unlocked...flashing different roms will not relock the device...BUT it needs to be both cid/sim unlocked if you are flashing from a kitchen. And yes, if it is sim unlocked, ANY sim will work in the device.

As long as you have a SIM it will work...it does not matter if you have blue, red or yellow...
CID unlock will help to install different OS...READ (I mean READ!!!) the wiki and stickies...
thanks so much for your replies. I did upgrade to the htc 2.25 rom and really dont see much difference and yes the sim still works.
Thanks again
Looking for the answer.. THanks
The answer is everywhere but ok...
yes you need.
Cheers
Thanks for ur answer But then sim unlock after update the ROM or b4 update??
Your choice...
But it's better you make USPL first just in case...
It depends on your needs if you need a SIM unlock or not.
You don't need it to flash another ROM, you just need it to use a SIM from another provider than the one you bought it with.
example: I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact III, with T-mobile SIM lock. If I want to use a SIM from Telfort, O2, KPN or another provider I have to remove the SIM lock first.
I've CID unlocked it a long time ago and flashed a dozen of different ROMs with the SIM lock still on. Just a month ago I removed the SIM lock.

Yes this can be easily unlocked. Infact i too had a IDEA locked Touch Viva which i had got unlocked and now using a Airtel simcard without any issues
@Monish:
Can you tell us please which software you are using to unlock the VIVA, and where the software is available?
Thanks
I too faced the same issue. just google it and you will end up with a link which requires your mobile IMEI number and some cash. If you've managed to pay them, they will send you a software to your mail ID. And with the use of that, you can successfully unlock the mobile and use any carrier. But, i believe there are some other methods to do the same thing without the aid of the cash
