I will be buying an XDA 2 of my friend 2moro and
I would like to know if I can use an O2 Pay as you
go genie sim (genie is the sim where you get free txt msgs etc)
Can i just pop the sim straight in and use it or will I have to unlock it??
Hi advent
I'm sure you can...
As long as the SIM is GSM and the phone is unlocked you can use any GSM SIM Card...
In this case, since it's going to be from O2 there would be no problem.
i just recived my unlock code from tmobile and i want to test the code and see if it unlocks my phone.
where can i get a foriegn sim card?
is there a website? or can i unlock it without a foreign sim card?
again, i have my code
also, lets say, i am in germany.........
and i get a sim card from over there.........can people still call my US number? or will that change?
is this legit?

you dont need a foriegn sim card,
all you need is an "unsupported" sim card... any non Tmobile sim would work
once you have it in the phone and power on you will get a message like
"Please input unlock code"
punch in the code, then it will "find" the network the sim is attached to... so if you use an at&t sim card it will register to the att network in about 30 secs
.....
so mainly is
1. use an unsupported sim card
2. enter unlock code
3. verify it connects to the unsupported network (at&t since those sim;s are easy to get)
4. put your normal simcard back

got ya, thank you for your fast reply, i thought i could do it that way, but just wanted to be sure.
"

the number is tied to the sim
if you put in a sim card from another operator you get a new number
and people can't call the number of your old sim
even if you get a dual-Sim holder and have 2 sim in the device granted it support it
most places the rules apply that if other people call your USA number
while you're outside
they only pay for calling you in USA
and you pay for directing the call from USA to what ever country
you're presently in
if this is fine by you you don't even need to unlock it as tmobile would have
roaming agreement in many countries in the world but at a high cost of cause
Hi all,
I got a HTC Ozone from Verizon. I know this phone supports CDMA/GSM networks. My phone is working on a CDMA network but it also comes a SIM card.
I have the following 2 questions:
If I remove that SIM card the phone still works on the CDMA network.
1. Does anybody know what is that SIM card for?
I have also tried to remove that SIM card and insert a SIM card that I have from AT&T. The phone just says that the card is invalid but it doesn't ask me for any unlocking code.
2. How do I enter the unlocking code on this phone?
Thanks a lot and sorry if this has already been asked but I haven't been able to find anything.

To answer your questions -
(1) The Pre-installed sim card is a VZW sim that allows you to use the phone internationally on GSM networks. You would pay international rates to VZW for that.

I did this and am able to use a t-mobile sim and At&t sim in the phone. You just have to make sure to have the phone in GSM network mode.

hey guys,
I got the unlock code from Verizon (actually my company got it for me because I'm not the owner of the account) However, I don't know how to enter it.
If I insert a different SIM card (e.g. AT&T) it just says that the SIM card is invalid, and it doesn't give me the option to enter the unlock code like with other phones. I also tried to change the network to GSM.
Any ideas how I can do that?
Thanks
ok, I think I found it. Unfortunately they got an invalid code so they have to go through the whole process again
One slight problem for some of us, like me:
I'm about to purchase Ozone off-contract from VZ. VZ rep told me I'd have to put it on an account for 6 months in good standing to even get a consideration to be unlocked.
$350 for this? This is frickin' anti-competitive bull****, I'd be paying full price un-subsidized for the phone, I deserve an unlock.

I found mine already unlocked off eBay for about $290. It was an auction so obviously I can't claim you would pay the same, but it is an option if you don't want to submit to their rules.
as far as how long u have to be under contract... i was told by global support you have to have been a customer to 90 days prior to the unlocking and in good standing.
I upgraded a different line to get the ozone... put it on my primary account that same day and had it unlocked five minutes later. I think u talked to the wrong rep.

Wrong rep? I was at a corporate Verizon store where their Small Business Specialist told me that.
Yep... wrong rep... Global support is different then Small Business Reps.
How many times has one rep told you something that was contradicted by another rep?
I was simply telling you what I was told right before they unlocked my sim.
As a matter of fact, I just bought a BB Tour off eBay that i put on my account and had it unlocked through global support within 5 minutes. Only requirement was I have been a VZW Customer for more than 90 days and I am in good standing.
Shoot, if you want maybe I'll activate your phone for you on my account and unlock it...
unlock my HTC OZONE
hey man i just got a verizone wireless HTC OZONE....Pls could u help me unlock it?
Hi all, how to enter code in that phone?
My unlocked Tilt broke, and all I can find on Craigslist is an HTC Ozone. My unlocked Tilt is on T-mobile, so I can't call Verizon to get an unlock code
Is there another way to do this?

Same here,
where I work we do not get VZW anywhere in the building. AT&T actually came in and installed repeaters so I plan on getting an AT&T prepaid and put the sim in my phone then I can just switch networks. Is that possible?
I unlocked 2 phones with www.unlock-now.com they work great and fast. I unlocked an HTC Imagio and an HTC Ozone.
go the unlock code from htcunlockcode.info and following instructions came along the code.
1. Switch to GSM mode
2. Go to Personal
3. Go to Security
4. It will says "Please enter the sim unlock code to disable the SIM lock"
5. Enter unlock code.
6. Reboot.
Worked fo me! hope the instructions will be helpful, as I see lot of people asking this in different forums.
xoxoxo
Jane.
thanks very much！
find the option to enter unlock code finally！
I got a code here http://unlockcellphonecode.com/code-for-unlocking-htc-mobile-cell-phone and they sent me the code and instructions ..

if your referring to Carrier locked, is it locked to what carrier then?
if you put a SIM of the same carrier the phone is locked to, it obviously wont ask you to unlock it!
put in anoter carrier's sim and it will. then enter the code.
No its on tmobile now..if i put the att sim card in it just says no service.

Im not sure at all here but is ATT not on CDMA??
If thats the case then you need to put in a sim of a European carrier (GSM).
yeah sounds right thanks

ATT is GSM
did you test your ATT sim in another phone?
yes its from a working Iphone
Factory reset / data wipe.
This can occasionally assist folks with internal issues with the hardware. It's a common way to approach solving a problem with your device. Consider it, try it, and then go from there before continuing to further with the unlocking process.
Best of luck.
Hi I had my phone unlocked by sprint and got a confirmation email saying my device is unlocked for international use. I was told by the sprint representative that there is no way in testing if the phone is unlock when I'm in the US. Is this true? or is there a way I can test the phone if it's unlocked, I do have an international sim card from Jamaica but I want to test if the phone is unlock before I leave the states.
borrow a friends SIM?
this belongs in the Q&A section not general.
this has been answered already. you can test if its unlocked by putting an att or tmo sim card in. if there is no sim card error when you boot up.. then its unlocked.
the sim error would be in the status bar. "invalid sim". if you see invalid sim.. it's not unlocked, despite what sprint says.
if it IS unlocked properly.. that still doesnt mean that you can use tmo/att... itll only pic up a gsm signal when using an international sim.
I have a sim card from Jamaica, I am going to try it when I get home but I think I forgot to change the mobile network to GSM when I inserted the the international sim card.
Just got back from my trip to Jamaica and my phone worked great with the international sim card. I had the sim card with me in the US and it didn't work when I was here but as a landed in Jamaica I put the bad boy in and I had service only down fall was I couldn't get data. So the unlock from sprint do work internationally.
