I'm Serbia and we don't have T-Mobile here.
I'm using VIP network here.

Ahh well that changes things ....
Could find someone in the US or UK to call TMO for you (works best if you tell them you bought the phone outright and are not a TMO customer)..
There are several on "Google" that say they unlock remotely for 20 to 40 $$ ..
Maybe someone here knows of a free one, but I don't , sorry ..
No free codes that i know of. There are threads on here that give links to sites they have used with success just search

Is the phone locked to VIP Serbia?
No it is UK T-Mobile locked.
Anyone know how or where to unlock the new G2? I want to use it with ATT LOL
Is there a method or a website I can get the unlock code?
Thanks!
Ps. I had the samsung captivate but the gps and lag on that thing made me return it. That's why I bought the G2.
You do realize that it won't work on ATT's 3G ; only EDGE?
Also, you might want to wait for the NA version of the Desire Z going to Canada ; you might pick up one of those since they have the 850Mhz band used for ATT's 3G.
About the unlock, you will have to wait for the phone to officially launch all over, and then unlock codes should pop up soon on eBay and other such sites.

Yes I'm aware that it will only work on edge.
The disire z is running sense which I don't want. I want as much stock android 2.2 on the phone. Besides the discontinued nexus one, this is my only choice.
Thanks for your reply.

Or.....if you're an existing T-mobile customer you can call them and request the unlock code.....That always seems to be the easiest way.
Yup, if you've bought it from them, and have been a customer for quite a while, just tell them that you need the unlock code since you travel a lot, and they should give it to you.
I see your point about being totally stock, however, some users have flashed the G2 ROM on the Desire Z with no hiccups, and thus getting Stock Android.
would you guys say that t-mobile can give me the unlock code even if did not buy the phone from them? lets say i bought it at best buy. i do have t-mobile account for my brother. but i bought the g2 full price from best buy.
As long as you have an account they should do it.

have your brother call them and tell CS that he bought the G2 and is planning an international trip and wants the unlock code. Simple
you should buy a desire z and flash a vanilla ROM on it so you'll get 3G support. Why get a super nice smart phone and only use EDGE?

You don't even need to say that. Just say you want it unlocked--you just need 40 days of active service. Check T-Mobile's SIM Unlock policy, it's the first hit on Google for "T-Mobile SIM Unlock".
Well my brother has had his account for over 5 years already. Well try calling and ask
For the unlock code because I "am leaving the country for travel" lol

Once its unlocked its unlocked . I always get mines done via tmobile live chat because u dont get all that chit chat just and ok all put that order n for u an ur have the code in 1-7days.
Also note to enter the code u must put a non tmobile sim n the phone then it will ask for unlock code. Thats how they all have worked but I havent unlocked my g2 yet tho

What do they ask for exactly?
Do they charge u for the unlock code?
stupid question but....
I don't get signal in my new house, but my friends on verison and att do. If I unlock my sim, does that mean I can use those towers when i don't have signal, or does that just mean I could switch my carrier and keep my phone? I had a rooted G1 and when I traveled to my mom's house who's town did not have t-mobile yet, I was able to use thier local carriers signal, I didn't know if everyone could do that, or if it was because my phone was rooted or what. anywho, sorry for rambling, but if someone could kindly make me less stupid be answering my question...

when we say "Unlock" we mean that you can put any simcard and the phone will pick up signal depending on the carrier.
if there are no towers near you, if you have roaming enabled, your phone will roam using other towers but they may charge you for that as far as i know.
Just called Tmobile to unlock
They said I could, that they would give me the code, but that the G2 is still not in their system, so they can't request unlock codes for this phone.
They asked me to call again in a few days.
Does that make sense?

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?
Another also, would you guys even recommend this phone? I thought that this would be the best android phone out there.
If it's not, what other Android phone should he get?
I own the EVO by the way

I like the Evo, but Sprint services sucks. The sprint 4g doesn't even compare to tmo 3g ( I've done extensive testing with my bro's Evo to my Touch Pro 2 and whooped his ass every speed test, execept in St. Cloud we were in the boonies)
Okay i will b getting my HD2 today and its on T-Mo and im on ATT i know i need to unlock it to use it on Att but i want to run Andriod on it.
Now the question would be do i have to unlock it prior to using andriod via nand or can i just unlock it in andriod or will it remove the unlock ?
There's no hack to unlock it, you're gonna need a code. Reportedly unlock codes work fine in Android, but you might just as well unlock it in WinMo. Flashing another firmware does not remove the unlock code.

I know i would need to unlock it via code. I just wanted to make sure if i unlocked it via Winmo i could just go ahead and install andriod. Thanks i will be doing that today.
Question is there a good site that provides that service cause i have heard of some shaddy webpages
I recommend getting a code from ebay, it worked for me.

ebay cost me £6 and took 12hours. The local shop wanted 30 and the phone for 2 days
I'm not sure but I think you can call T-Mobile and they will give you the code for free. There was a post some time ago talking about this. Maybe you can look it up and see what people have done to get the code.
I will be trying to get the code 1st off of Tmobile see if that works i spoke to a buddy of mine that works there. He said that they have to give it to you no matter what. Since i dont have there service i will have my firend call it in and she been a customer for ages of theres.
i will post back once i get a response
*Edit*
So we called last night they said 24hrs been about so no email yet.
I got the code its unlocked but now no 3g speeds that is so disappointing
No 3g speeds on aT&t? Well that's expected since aT&t operates on 3g bands the HD2 doesn't support.

The only way you would be able to use AT&T network is if you buy the Telstra HD2 T9193 other than that your just going to be stuck on edge.
Hi, I have a htc hd2 locked on o2 network. Is there any free way to unlock the phone that you guys know of? Or any cheap sites I could get codes off?

Go to ebay and look after unlock_fusion.
There are others, too, but this one is verified to be fast, reliable & affordable!
The best way to unlock is to call the carrier if you are using their service, see if they give out unlock codes. Say you need it to use it overseas.
