I meant a cheap unlocking!
IF you mean free then I dont know but theres a link to 22$ unlocking service, not too much.

thats the cheapest so far ... unless you ask your carrier for the sim unlock code. I know in US your carrier has to give it to you after 3 months of service don't know about UK regulations.

Only here they are alllowed to charge you for it, 20 pounds for orange unlock code but thats not even posssible as the phone is only a month old in the UK I think

aah that sucks ... sorry .. That was a suggestion for op as he didn't want to pay the 50 (wait it out another 2 months ).
UK providers
UK phone providers Orange - will ask for the full value of the contract to unlock it - ie if you have 12 months left at £30 then £360 for the code + unlock fee £20 quidish.
Not sure about T-Mo - but i believe at the end of the contract they will give it for free, but dont say your going to another network, as they'll charge you for the privilidge.
Been there done that... htccode.com appear to be the cheapest at present at £15.
Reviews of service appear to be very positive!

Found this Forum whilst looking for quick way to unlock HTC Touch HD - follwed this recommendation and it's unlocked From sending Paypal payment to getting code took about 5 mins - made contact via MSN and they are really good - if anyone is going to do this, saves asking them the same question as I did - when you enter the unlock code it'll say it's accepted but will then say it's locked again - enter the code once more - that'll do it
hi

What's funny, I bought my HD at Bouygues Telecom in Paris. They claimed it's locked to them. Once I came to the hotel and inserted my SIM card - it worked with no problems. They lied! Actually, I think the same thing was at Fnac. They had two versions of the phone - locked to one of French providers for EUR 589 and unlocked for EUR 699. I guess it was the same phone. I bought my one for 549, flashed to WWE and it works like a charm!
its illegal
In france, its against the law to sell phones that are locked

huh????? I get plenty of phones LOCKED to french networks from visitors here in Canada! what r u talking about?
Anyone got this with instructions since many websites are selling it!
Can you help me unlock (CID and SIM) my Touch HD?
Thank you for you advice in advance.
unfortunately not yet free,you are going to have to dish out some dosh to line XDA's wallet
I recently bought an Orange Touch HD and am on O2.
Someone is selling unlock codes on eBay for £16 or best offer. I offered £12 and got a counter offer of £14 which I accepted.
All you do is insert a SIM for a network which is locked, and the HD will ask you for an unlock code.
Pop in your 8 digit code (I had to type it in twice) and the device is unlocked. SIMPLE!
I ended up using HTCCODE ,recommended by an xda senior member ,it was a great service and I got the code in less 5mins.I think I paid 16 pounds.
i UNLOCKED MY ORANGE htc touch hd , the day I got the phone last week! got the code from htccodes , paid 18euros which is nearly £18! the pound has really got weak .
put a old contract t-mobile sim in the phones entered the unlock code , twice , you shouldn't enter it more than twice as it could mess up! was unloced quickly and easily .
Now I have installed software on it , al i need is sat nav prog , any1 know which is the best , and works well with the touch hd.

this isn't the iphone you know, it doesn't need unlocking before you can install programs on it
i also used htc codes. excellent service via msn, answered me at 730 in the morning and had my phone unlocked within ten minutes!
I used http://www.unlock-now.com/, as I did before with my Elf, and have always had exceptional service. Entirely recommended.

IMEI number problem...
Hi, sorry to reopen an old thread but i didn't think adding yet another unlock thread would be any better!
I'm just out of contract with Orange UK and will be moving to O2, well actually GiffGaff now since i've just discovered it but that's beside the point!
Anyway, obviously i need to unlock my phone first, however, i see this is done by using your IMEI and buying a code but I'm not sure which IMEI is the right one.
I've had the phone repaired 2/3 times and each time i've had a letter saying the IMEI has changed but when i dial *#06# i get one number, but the most recent number listed after it's repair doesn't match, neither do any of the old ones including the one behind the battery and on my original box.
I don't want to brick the phone by using the wrong one!
I even had trouble when i phoned HTC ages ago for one of the repairs, none of the IMEIs were recognised or something.
Any advice?
Hi, so i eventually noticed i was being a bit stupid and my IMEI after *#06# IS the same as the one behind the battery, but with 01 added at the end!
So i ordered an unlock code from an ebay seller and was told;
"Unfortunately we have not been able to calculate the code for your imei as your phone has the latest security and can not be unlocked using this service. we have sent you a mutual agreement not to carry out transaction. Please agree to it and we will issue full refund. If you still wish to Unlock your phone please have a look at this Item number: 110559753460"
The other item is just a more expensive unlock for newer devices i think, no response yet on whether they can get me a code at all if i were to buy the other item.
So, OK, maybe i should have used the unlock site mentioned somewhere on here but i tried to save some cash, sue me
Anyway, is the seller just talking cr*p or could the repairs and IMEI changes have caused my phone to have different security or something?!
I know i've not contributed to the forum a lot or anything but i'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks.
thanks vijay555, just done the same, well worth £15.00
Well first of all I am not a developer.
I am in need of a sim unlocker, there are some websites which unlock your sim but I don't trust them as they ask for IMEI no's...!!!
So I request everyone here please we desperately need a SIM UNLOCKER, donations will be made for sure..!!!
PS : - Opened a new thread cause there wasn't any for SIM UNLOCKING in LEO thread..!!!
I need it very badly..!!!
Please its a desperate plea..!!!

The unlock code is provided based on your IMEI so without giving that up you cant unlock.
Check out ebay for "hd2 sim unlock" <<< This method is temporary!!!
Try htccode.com, I use this several times for both some Hero and HD2, 15euro each as I remember. U get ur code in about 10'. They are reliable.

If you use the ebay chip you pop it in your phone with a different providers sim card it fools the phone into thinking that the sim is from the phones original provider.
When you take the ebay chip out the phone it reverts to being locked to the original providers sim again.
Well I would prefer payin some on XDA rather than another website..!!!

Thanks for making that clear and yes you are right about it being somewhat flaky!
Sorry for bringing this one up, but I have a similar problem. I have HardSPLed my O2 device and then applied WWE 1.66 - Artemis 5.5 Even though I considered the sim lock long gone (this is my first network locked WM device), it is still there! My question is, why? What is the art of a ROM that controls it? Is it hackable? Is it necessary to rely to third party "unlockers" (that I guess have access to the "keygen")?
PS. I already have an old school "sim adaptor" but hey, curiosity never killed the cat.
roms and sim lock - totally unrelated, currently the only way to sim unlock is by getting the code from the provider, or the various websites that offer the service.nothing you do to the rom will affect sim lock.
I already unlocked my hd2 from ebay and it is working for any sim card
My sim unlock works as permanent. I bought it from ebay giving my imei number. And it is very cheap than the shops in london. just for £7.00.

Yup, finally did the same & it worked..!!!
Spent 6 GBP..!!!
But worth it..!!!
I paid to have my HD2 Sim Unlocked today. What Im wondering is if there is software out there that would have let me calculate the code myself?

I am in the U.S. and have Tmobile HD2. Which unlocker service do you recommend and how long does it take.
Try searchin on ebay.co.uk..!!!
Just type HD2 SIM Unlock in the search & you'll find loads of them..!!!
Mmmmm oh yes! OH NOOOO!
So I got my HD2 couple of days ago....... locked on T Mobile UK ..... And it's a 2010 model so a recent build.....
Tried unlocking it - T mobile UK WONT give me the unlock code unless I am on their contract for 3 months and then there will be a 15gbp charge for the actual unlock code
HTC Unlock code does not work! - BECAUSE T Mobile UK Modifies the unlock code provided by HTC
And to top it all up I tried at least 5 unlock services so far but no go! All of them told me the same thing ... that my IMEI as too new and is NOT in their databases....
At this point I am really honestly stuck What can I do to unlock my mobile because I cannot use it If anyone is kind hearted enough over here. Kindly p.m. me with a solution
I was going to use HSPL2 but I guess that the Sim lock will simply remain there because from what I understood HSPL2 just allows you to install cooked roms and allows you to reflash in the case something goes wrong with your installed ROM and the phone goes dead..... But I am not too sure that it removes SIM Locks.
Also I don't know the actual difference between an OP Lock / A Sim Lock and a CID Lock. Anyone can enlighten me?
Many Thanks
Al

The best way is to call T-mobile. I've already unlocked two HD2 with the unlock code provided by T-mo.

I've got a Motorola Flipout locked to Orange UK. I tried everything to get it unlocked but without success. I tried several unlock code services but their codes all didn't work. Then I bought a X-SIM IV unlock sim-card which is placed between the sim-card and the phone. The phone then didn't ask for an unlock code but I could not register anymore into the network.
Is there any other solution to unlock the phone? Maybe there is a software solution like for the Samsung Galaxy S?

I searched around some for you, and all I found was sites where you'd have to pay about $10 to get a code... not sure if there is any other way right now
I've tried two companies who've both given me the same unlock codes which don't work!! not good! Will report back if I find a solution.

Glad you posted this, I'm thinking about getting the flipout from orange uk but I want to use my t mobile sim. What have orange said about an unlock code for it?
Orange wants you to be a customer for at least 3 month to get an unlock code from them (see help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/personal/474187).

Wow. 3 months is a long wait. I might have to consider buying a sim free handset.
The unlock code companies on the internet usually get a new database on a regular basis (not sure how regular) to accommodate new handsets it could be worth emailing them to see when a working code may be available.

Hi there,
.. wondering if the ebay link ( unlock solution) you followed worked for your Flipout?
I actually got an ismart sim and carefully filed the chip down to slip into the sim slot but still too big to fit inthere
Can you kindly PM me the ebay link as I cannot follow it from your posting.
Many thanks
firsy sorry mods for posting ebay link should of known better and second it doesnt work motorola dont have the updated codes yet they will let me know when they do and i will let people know here so at the moment there is no way to unlock still.

i have buy on two ebay member and always respose:
Hi
We checked the IMEI you provided again and the code is not available for that phone. If you have another phone you would like to unlock, email us the IMEI/Provider and we will try to get the code for that phone.
If not please reply to this email with "REFUND" in the email subject and we will issue refund.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
I can buy universal sim for this phone o pay 50 dollar for unlock.... i m tired!!
Good morning
I dont know what device you bought, however, I bought mine from ATT (sim locked), and got the code from cellunlock for 19$ (with 50% off coupon), and it worked great. Im from Israel and already changed a cellular carrier, so I know for sure that my Atrix is now sim-free.
here is a link for the unlock site:
http://www.cellunlock.net/Default.asp
Hope it helps
I'd advise you to double check the IMEI before sending it to unlockers. It sounds like you've missed a number.
I bought a used phone,and get the unlock through at&t live chat,It didn't work first time, I refresh the gb rom, enter the unlock code, worked.

Hay man,
Here is a thought- from where you bought your Atrix? was it from a person or directly from ATT? The only possibility I can think of, as you said you double and triple checked the IMEI, is that the person who sold you the Atrix declared it stolen and ATT locked it (I know that in Israel it happens, why not in US as well... ), that is why your IMEI appears to be incorrect...

Hello,
The device that you currently have is not eligible to be unlocked. AT&T is the exclusive carrier of the device and under the existing exclusivity agreement we are unable to provide the device unlock code. In addition, some devices for which AT&T Mobility has exclusive marketing rights are permanently excluded from unlocking obligation.

Weird...
Never heard this kind of stuff....
I don't know what you can do, maybe ask them if it will sometime be possible to unlock it, if not then sell it...
Sorry
