I've got an HTC HD2 Virgin branded from Ebay, It said that it is unlocked. Tried it on T-mobile, O2 and Vodafone.
Only worked on T-Mobile.
When I put O2 or Vodafone sim card, it can't even connect to the network.
Is my device locked??? Or is it faulty? Please help
sounds like its still network locked to me. virgin piggy back on the tmo network I believe, maybe that's why tmo works?
(just thinking out loud)
but the phone didn't ask for unlock code even when i put different sim card?

Not tried it, but UK O2 Orbits are not network locked, you can put any SIM in - although with it not being a 3G device, there seems little point in putting a Three SIM in as it will just drop back to whichever GSM network Three piggybacks on (O2 I think). I'v just bought a three sim for £1.25 on ebay, so I'll load it up and see what the coverage is like near me - I only get intermittent t-mobile in my place...
it used to be possible but then 3 started to locking their sims so they only worked in 3g phones
aha!
im not so fussed about the 3g coverage its more being able to use that sim card in the phone, whethe rit roams off of o2 or etc. i got my phoen unlocked (originally t-mobile compact 3) and its the only simcard that doessnt work - thats why im suspicios of this shop[ who says they can doo it for £50
please keep me updated as to how your simcard goes, and if anyone knows a way of doing this im all ears!
my HTC P3600 was purchased in the UK and was locked on the Orange network. I got it unlocked before moving to Canada to study. I purchased a sim card from one of the GSM mobile operators (Fido). But when I insert the sim card into my phone it shows me as roaming and the network also charges me roaming service rates even though I am not in a roaming area.
I upgraded the ROM from WM5 to WM6.1 and still the the problem is not fixed.
I also used the sim and CID unlocker (http://pof.eslack.org/trinity-unlocker/) to "reunlock" it but that also didn't work.
Can anyone help me out here. I love my phone and would like to use it instead of getting another one.
So please whatever suggestions you have would be welcomed.
thanks in advance
Hi,
I've bought a HTC Magic from Rogers. From the internet, it seems that some ppl were saying Rogers did not lock any smartphone, but most said it does.
I've tested with my wife's Fido Pay-As-You-Go SIM card, it seems to work. So either my phone is unlocked or Rogers and that Fido prepaid card are sharing the same lock-code.
Anyhow, without any other tools, how can I tell/test if my phone is simlocked or not?
Thanks,
Gary
The Rogers phones are locked. Fido, PetroCan Mobility and Speak Out are all virtual network operators that run on the Rogers network so their SIM's will work in a locked Rogers phone.
You need a non-Rogers SIM (like from a new Bell or Telus phone) or a US or European SIM. As soon as you pop it in it will tell you your locked and will ask you for the unlock code.
Phone won't run home screen but instead will ask for "unlock code".
And unless you give it you can't use the phone for anything (you can't even check any menu, settings or anything).

Even on T-Mobile, it's connected to 3G and HSDPA perfectly, internet browsing is no problem. But Calling and SMS is still not possible.
Hi I have been using my htc hd2 for over a year, I unlocked it in the begginning and have been using ATT on it til now. I have recently switched over to tmobiles network but for some reason my htc hd2 won't connect with the tmobile sim card now. I am running an andriod nand.
Does the phone still work with the ATT sim? if so its not the sim card carrier/reader on the phone
Where how did you unlock it?
Just changing to Android does not unlock it, normaly its a cost to you to buy the code £15 to £20 in the UK
So if you only added Android its not unlocked
I'm sure its unlock. As it is branded as a tmobile phone and I purchased an unlock code for it awhile back and I entered it while I was on windows 6.5 and it allowed me to use the ATT sim card til now when I switch back to tmobile it won't let me. My att sim card still works with the phone just not the tmobile
Sound like one the sim:
Does the Tmobile sim, does it work in a different cell?
Does a different sim work in the phone (not including the ATT sim)
I'm pretty sure its not the sim card, I've tried multiple sim cards from friends and the ones from ATT works but for some reason the tmobiles ones don't work I have no clue. Strangest thing too is that I flashed stock windows mobile 6.5 and a new radio rom and the phone connected to the network and i was able to make a call but 2 minutes later "no service" again....
Its only the tmobile sim card too.
