Hi
Can anyone help me with unloking a at&t tilt
Thanks
Jim
here you go sir, no need to thank me!
http://rhodium.htc-unlocks.com/
in all seriousness, if you want to get it done for free, just call at&t and tell them you're going out of the country and you need it for roaming purposes, i've heard both good and bad results from doing that.
if you somehow obtained the phone otherwise, go for the site i gave you above.
ive actually done that and i didnt need to give them any reason. i called at and told them i needed a unlock code for my fuze. and i gave them my imei nimber. but it didnt work. i called 4 times and they ave me the same code.. but it turned out my sim was locked from my other phone and all i had to do was unlock it from my sim from my other phone
unlock
I thought it was a law that the carriers had to give unlock code upon request
If you are "in contract," with more then 4 months left on the contract, they do NOT have to provide the unlock code. HOWEVER if you are NOT under contract, then they MUST provide the unlock code.
EXCEPT in the case of the iPhone (my wife has that nasty thing.) They do NOT have to provide (and say that they will not) an unlock codes for them. Apparently it is in their contract from Apple Corp that they cannot provide unlock codes for them.
HTC on the other hand is A LOT more "user friendly" when it comes to their devices, and encourages providers to provide the unlock codes for their devices upon request.
I have 3 HTC AT&T Tilt's (Kaiser) and all 3 were bought without contract, and AT&T quickly provided me with the unlock codes for all 3.
I'm looking at getting a Samsung Vibrant locked to the T-mobile network. I need the device unlocked to use on a network in Canada. Due to not being a past or current t-mobile US customer I won't be able to get the unlock code directly. Does anyone know of a reliable 3rd part unlocker that sells codes to this device?
Thanks in advance!
2 options
1. Get an unlocked one (buy it outright). If it is locked, a quick call to T-Mobile should get it unlocked. Anyone know any different?
2. Wait 90 days, then ask T-Mobile to unlock it. They've always been good about that in my experience.
Call T-Mobile and see what their policies are WRT this.
Call Customer Care and request an unlock code. TMo emailed me the code in under 48hrs.
I tried calling tmobile customer care. They won’t process the request since I don’t have a tmobile account. I’ve purchased unlock codes from two sources: unlockallcellular.com and ebay seller "unlockadic". Hopefully at least one of them comes through with a code.
UPDATE: I received the 8 digit unlock code from the source below. Unfortunately I do not have the device yet. Hopefully it works when I get the phone next week.

How can u get unlock code when you haven't had your phone yet?
Did they ask you for IMEI? or you just paid them then received the code?

I had the IMEI to the phone I purchased before it was shipped. The seller took a picture of the device information sticker on the box which has the IMEI on it. I wanted to get a head start on finding a unlock source since the device was so new. Just in case it took days to weeks.

I am also in this situation as the only other option I have is to buy the internation unlocked version which I don't the the 3G works on U.S. carriers. Please update asap
Update: Not sure if anyone is still following this. I received my T-mobile branded vibrant today and unlocked it successfully with the code I purchased from ebay.
If you buy the device at full cost from a t-mobile authorized retailer and have a receipt to prove it, T-Mobile will provide an unlock code within 48 hours (assuming they don't need to contact the manufacturer.)

If you don't mind, can you outline the process for requesting the unlock code from t-mobile given you have a copy of the receipt? I've heard of a few individuals successfully doing this. I called T-mobile customer care directly and they refused to provide an unlock code unless I have a current or past account.

Just call customer care, say you purchased the device at full cost and would like to unlock it. If the representative refuses saying you need an account then they didn't verify the policy before they told you that. At that point you have a choice between simply giving up and going to ebay, insisting that you were told you could unlock it, you can hang up and call back, or you can request a supervisor. They will request that you fax the receipt it, and you will definitely want to get the unlock request #, as there is no account to note the unlock request on.
I may be bias in saying this, but its preferred that you just go with T-Mobile as your carrier anyway... (though that may require a substantial move on your part or significant roaming charges...)

So what person did you get the unlock code from? I'm about to buy a Vibrant myself, also which carrier did you end up getting it unlocked for. Just curious.
The calling option only works if you have a TMO account. If you are using a pre-paid (tmo) type they wont do it.
You need to buy the code. I can get the unlock codes for around $25 dollars or so.
Sometimes less. There is no direct PC unlock (cable unlock yet). Best is IMEI unlocks.
I just purchased the vibrant as well and am currently awaiting an unlock code from "unlockadic" I will also update just to show support for any others that want to have a different carrier
Just had my vibrant unlocked. Yesterday I did a online chat with at mobile csr, told him I'll be traveling soon so I need the unlock code. The csr asked for my email, phone model and IMEI and replied me with the unlock request #. Today I got the code from t mobile by email and it works! I got the phone from costco with the even more plus plan and canceled the plan later. The phone number I put in the form before preceding to online chat is a t mobile prepaid number...

UnlockLiberty.com - They can provide code for $25.

Hello, my friend from Israel want's the G2, and we got some questions.
His provider is Orange by the way.
He wants to buy one on Ebay and a lot of them already come unlocked.
Is this trustworthy? I've been hearing a lot of G2's don't work when unlocked.
Also, unlocked means he can insert is SIM card and it should work?
Also, if he does buy a locked version. Is it possible for me to go to a T-Mobile store and ask them to unlock it for me?
Also, does anyone know if it will work in Israel?
If they say it is unlocked then it should work with other providers worldwide.
Yes, you can request the code from T-Mobile, but this is possible only if you are the direct owner.
As long as it's unlocked it looks like it would work fine with an Orange SIM Card in Israel.
So er, just to verify - the Desire Z is sold "sim free" - this is the same as unlocked, right?
yeah!.............

I would imagine. Phones are usually locked when they are sold through one specific carrier. If you are buying from a carrier it's probobly locked, if through 3rd party company it's more than likely unlocked.
unlock bell desire z

When you purchase the phone it will be sim locked you will need to unlock there are many different services that will work ranging from 10 - 50 dollars us

It needs to be unlocked. I just did this last night myself. Because the phone just came out yesterday, it will cost a bit more to unlock. I went through HTCsimunlocknow dot com and I was a little worried when I paypaled over my money and they didn't give me a transaction number, and then when they came back and asked me for $10 more (they SAY it'll cost $15).
Slightly bumpy road, and I'm still in the process of figuring out the mobile internet settings, as Fido can't really help me out with that.

Question for you sir? What is Bell's policy on unlocking their phones? Companies can be real pricks when it comes to intellectual property. If they say that they cannot give you the unlock code, then buy the phone from the US. All t-mobile needs is a receipt of proof of purchase and your IMEI number and they'll fork over the unlock code.
I never go with all the unnecessary flashing of services which more than often damage the phone's memory.
What was the point of my rambling, oh ... CALL your provider and ASK for the unlock code.
Desire Z is free sim. so you can buy it for use everywhere
but the T-Mo G2 is lockd, you can ask the T-mobile to unlock it if you are the owner direct.
good luck!

The salesperson at the Bell store told me that it would be a $35 charge, and they'd make me wait a whole bunch of days before they grant any sort of unlock code. Given the nightmare stories I've been told about Bell's customer service, I didn't even bother attempting to squeeze it out of them, as I figured that they had no incentive to grant it anyway (my only leverage was that I bought the phone outright and they're not subsidizing a contract).
Hi,
I currently got a HTC HD2 SPL 2.08.HSPL and I was wondering if there is a way to unlock it, so I can use other carriers. I bought like 4 unlock codes and none of them worked... Is there any other method I can try to unlock it?
Thank you
from where you bought the code?
Hey I got my phone from my relative in the US and it was locked with T-mobile as well. I can't post links since this is my 1st post but google "mobileincanada". It should be the 1st link on the list.
Its cost $20 which is the cheapest compared my local stores which charged me around $40-60 to unlock the service provider. Also I received my code within 20 minutes. If you want to be sure, you can email them your IMEI code and ask if they can unlock it. I know you probably skeptical at this point since you have already tried 4 codes from other site. People that have used this site before leave feedback, you can look for my name (Carter Nguyen) in the feedback.

I bought the code from
freeyourhtc.com
cellunlocker.net
and 2 on ebay and none of them worked
T Mobile or a local store that hooks it up tho there pc should be able to generate the code, but there is no cert here
I just got my unlock code from cellunlocker.net. It took just 5 minutes to get it. 20 bucks.
just call t-mobile. don't pay for that crap.
they emailed me my code, it took like an hour for the code to arrive.
T-Mobile
i have been waiting for more than a week now. no news from T-mobile after calling them. You must be very luck to get the code in just an hr. hmmm. please can anyone recommend a good site?
That is the problem with the network providers. They dont give the codes quickly. So the customers go in search of online providers for the codes. Even i was in the same situation when i wanted to unlock my mobile. I then unlocked my mobile at WickedUnlock.com within hours. You can trust this guy from whom i got the code. They provide genuine codes.

Changing the firmware will not alter the state of the SIM lock.
You need to pay for a sim unlock through one of the online services. For example, https://www.unlockunit.com/. It took me 24 hours to receive the unlock code from them.
There is any way to get this code with root for free? 35$ too expensive , or some cheaper place , may be 10-15$ I can spend .
May be some one can connect to my phone and unlock it remotely
Uhm...the only way to get it unlocked for free is to call AT&T.
Will try thanks
Search on ebay for one of the unlock services. I bought my code before going to Europe from a provider on eBay. Only downside is it took a week to get the code but it was $16.
Try Doctorsim They are also good that's what worked for me. It's $15
i get it for free on att.com , just 2 days wait

This is a great option if you have bought your phone from Att and it's paid off. If not a third party retailer is the only way to go.
Can anyone confirm if flashing the firmware 930U API3 (XAA) can sim unlock your phone? some guy at the T-MO S7 edge said after flash the phone was sim unlocked. TIA
no it is not working witjout code
I got an unlock for $12 on eBay, took a couple days
