Hi,
i just bought a htc g1 locked to t-mobile austria. I got a good price for it and i decided to buy it because i found a lot of information regarding the unlocking of the phone (so that i can use in vodafone card here in Portugal).
But the problem is, it seems t-mobile austria changes the native codes.. I'm, trying to talk to a lot of ebay stores and some sites, but the most usual answer until now is that they can't supply the code to unlock the phone from t-mobile austria.
What can i do?
thanks
I would look into seeing if T-MO Austria can unlock it for you (they may charge a fee tho).

I want an XDA2!!
Sooner than later. Will settle for an imate or Qtec2020
Anyone got any ideas?
I would personally buy an Imate.
I bought mine from www.compume.com
or Arne is a great guy and has them in stock www.ppcw.net
I should of explained more.
I need 16 before Friday
Then another 500 sooner than later..
(UK based is also pref.)
wow
lol
well most places i've seen carry then without simlocks are small online and stores and such and i would very much doubt they could supply 16 that fast
maybe if you went to o2 or tmobile you could buy a pile and get them unlocked and without sim think they often sell them with that option but you have to pay alot! more
O2 and tmobile wont do that :x
Anymore idea??!?
Thanks in advance.
well maybe orange here they sell the xda2 under the name SPV M1000
and if you want to buy it wihtout a subscription
they cost 928.597 GBP a pop
so if you want 16 it's 14848 GBP
a bit on the pricy side if you ask me though
Not an ideal option but might be one to go down.
not sure if orange uk ofer them yet though cant see it on their site
Contacted Dangaard Belgium.
There seems to be a production problem for the moment with the 2020.
No units available (high quantities) until half february.
If you like, I can inform for T-Mobile MDA II (same device), but they will have a German manual (English ROM, simlock free).
Hi there we can do them for you (o2 XDAII) but we can unlock them for you for £450 each let me know
[email protected]
Buy the t-mobile MDA2 sim free, (german version) and then upload the new rom from T-mobile NL which makes the machine perfect uk usable
Machine is only €799,- sim FREE and there are lodes of them

How to get an XDAII unlocked and usefull for Spain?
Does anybody knows where can I get a cheap unit of XDAII unlocked and usefull for Spain...I almos get P900 but I think XDAII is much better.
I have been going through a few of the previous threads - and just wanted to make sure ...
I want to buy the o2 Xda Exec, but since I spend much of my time abroad - the issue of unlocking the SIM is CRITICAL for me.
O2 sales people are not knowledgable enough with regards to the issue - they weren't too sure wheter it was locked at all at first;
later I confirmed it was, through various sources (including other forums).
I recently read here on various threads, and speaking to some other people - that the Xda Exec might arrive unlocked -- BUT -- apparently this might be the case ONLY for UK SIMS (which doen't help me).
Another thread reads that o2 might be prepared to unlock the handset for £15 -- but I have yet to confirm that with o2 Cust. Services.
:arrow: Does anyone have a definite/confirmed answer in this regard???
:?: Another question altogether is whether I should just get the i-mate JasJar instead - the question is which one has better bundeled software or future support.
I appreciate any helpful response!!!
I can confirm that all o2 Exec's are already unlocked.
As soon as I got mine from O2 Purchased out right with no contract I tried Mu Daughters T-mobile and the wifes vodafone sims and all worked fine.
However these are UK not sure if overseas Sims will work.
ukmdb is right i bough mine with a contractfrom O2 and it works with my vodafone and orangesim card
sorry dont know about foriegn sims
Unfortunately not all XDA Execs appear unlocked.
Mine arrived and will not work with a UK Orange SIM.

I just brought one from eBoy.. and according to the seller, O2 DID unlocked it at 15 pounds extra when I asked him to call O2. Oh well, will find out in about a week to see if it's true
I'm considering buying a 2nd hand unit Vodafone HD2 from Ebay, I was wondering if anyone knew if Vodafone simlock the HD2? I've seen some sellers claiming Vodafone don't lock their devices, others don't mention it. A couple of searches have drawn a blank, can anyone give me a conclusive answer?
Thanks,
Sherbet66
Oh trust me, they lock the devices. I had trouble with them regarding this.
At least in my country they do!
thanks for the reply however I should have mentioned that i will be buying a UK handset ~ an unwanted upgrade, do Vodafone in the UK lock these?
Thanks,
Sherbet66
Hi,
I can speak for UK and the devices I had direct from Vodafone were not locked.
They are:
SE M600i
Diamond
HD2
My friends had:
Touch Pro
Touch Pro2
None of the above were locked and they were offically from Vodafone UK.
I think you can see other threads pointing to the similar coonclusion here.

I received a Vodafone contract HD2 last week and was surprised that it worked with an old Orange SIM I had lying around, so I reckon it's not SIM locked.
It comes with the 1.43 ROM, so you would probably want to reflash it anyway.
Thanks all,

What is the cheapest LEGIT site to get an Unlock code for the T-Mobile HD2 ?
I just used this guy on eBay to unlock my HTC HD2 from T-Mobile UK.
Look for: swiftsales714 on eBay.
They have +30,000 positive feedback.
It cost just £7 & I had an unlock code within 2 minutes which worked.
I now have normal connection with my O2 pay-and-go SIM.
I did contact T-Mobile UK & they did say that they have the same policy as Vodaphone & O2 and will provide the unlock code for your phone.
However, you must have an active T-Mobile phone number & they will charge you £15.
eBay seems a great, quick & cheaper alternative.
Does someone know where i could buy a unlocked Omnia 7 without contract in europe? I searched and didn't find a single shop that had some on stock.
It's listed with a provisional price on Clove but with no release date I am afraid.
You can buy it PAYG on three (£445 I think) and then pay £15 to unlock, so £460 sim free from 3.
I don't see the Omnia 7 when i select PAYG on the three uk online shop. May this option is only if u buy it directly from a three store? And where i can get the phone unlocked for £15, direct from three?
I found a locked Omnia 7 on eBay but not shure if there is a trusted unlock online service.
Not sure about online, but certainly in store they had is as PAYG as well as contract. And the guy in store said you just call 3 themselves and they will give you the code for about £15.

So there not operating the same 12 month no unlock policy as O2 are then?
Does it leave the device with much three branding?
I bought my Omnis on t mobile and have had it unlocked and am now using it on Vodafone as this is my preferred network as they have much better 3g coverage in my area. Aside from a t-mobile marking on the battery cover there is no branding on the phone at all.
Go to geizhals.at most of the online stores update the availability daily, there u can get it as soon as it's available
I'm also looking to get one soon!
I'm also looking at geizhals.at every day, and it drives me crazy
Any updates on this?
I bought mine BNIB (locked to Orange UK) from eBay for £310, then unlocked for $20. Bargain
www.belsimpel.nl
The Swiss site, www.digitec.ch have an unlocked Omnia 7 for 585.- CHF. I used this site/store many times while I live in Switzerland and it is very good value.
They offer free delivery, but it is only to Switzerland I'm afriad (I see you are in Austria - nextdoor!). You can buy online and collect it from their stores (closest to Austria would be Zurich or Winterthur).
Play.com have it unlocked for £479.99

A german shop has some instock again (since yesterday) Omnia 7 16gb... looks like its completely free of branding.
http://www.redcoon.de/index.php/cmd...amsung_Omnia_7_(I8700)_16_GB_black/#detailtop
They might even deliver to Austria.
I know there is another company delivering to Austria; a1 something .. they also have a website called www.getgoods.de but it is only the 8gb version (also unbranded) They did pretend to offer the 16gb version but they realised that stock was low.
I rang three and got them to bill me for one. They insisted I had a contract and pay monthly for it but I got them to sell me one full price with no contract £445 ish.

A friend of mine keeps visiting Germany, Frankfurt...can I ask her to get it...I live in India...what about the unlocking procedure then?? SHould I get it unlocked there itself or should I get it unlocked here in India?? Also, I am not looking forward to spend A LOT..like £445 is toooo much for me...(MORE than my salary )
So..around £300 - 350 is fair i think??
Thanx!
All omnia 7 phones in germany are from t-mobile and therefore unlocked. The only branding they have is a splashscreen and t-mobile search in the ie.
You can flash a new rom though and it will be completely unbranded.
I dont know the exact prices right now but it should cost around 520-590€.
Hope that helps...
