T-Mobile MDA Pro SimLock

Hi, some please help,
i have a MDA Pro but it's Simlocked?
what can i do for take it out?
Thank's for the help...
Sory if something is wrong, my english is no so well ...
if you need a programms or games for your PDA, i can help...

It depends on where/how you got your MDA Pro. T Mobile UK WILL unlock in-contract handsets for a fee (£15 or £20, seems a little random), but only for the contract-holder and only if the handset came with that contract.
I've just helped a chap outside the UK get an MDA Vario as I was out of contract and needed a web'n'walk type tariff. The same day that I signed the contract and collected the handset, T Mobile agreed to send me the unlock code. They said it should take two to four weeks to arrive.
HTH

I have it from Germany, one people bay it for me in the shop, but it have SimLock, and i have no idea what i can make with it... :roll:

imeicheck offers unlock for the Vario..
not for the mdapro yet .. but can't be far off hehehe

Only thing is, to do it a bodged way from imei check costs £20...
To get a proper code from T-Mobile costs £15...
:lol:

Well, I don't know where you get that, but in Holland T-Mobile charges 120 Euro's to unlock it.

yup
they charge 15 pounds in the uk if you can prove that the vario or mdapro is bought together with your contract, and it takes 28 days to get the code :shock:
Most people buy these phones without contract or 2ndhand, that means they have to find an alternative way to unlock the phone. then 20pounds is cheap.
and in holland they are totally and untterly looney... they dare to ask 100euros +
So as soon imeicheck has a 'bodged' way to unlock my mda pro i will gladly pay 20 pounds to do so.
:twisted:

It took a total of 3 days for me to get my unlock code from T-Mobile. They were more than helpful about it, and they even sent it me on paper the day after!

SIMlock
Well, that SIM lock it seems to bother quite some people, including me. My suggestion is do not buy locked MDA Pro, Only unlocked. the cheapest ones with no contracts and unlocked are PDAhuis.nl for 709 euro the same price you pay for a locked in e-bay or other auction sites I you include transport unlocking calling faxing and all that.
From what I looked arround is that the simlock depend on IMEI (wich can be manipulated then with any working unlock code can be unlock) has anyone tried something like that?

being dutch myself i heard they have waitingtimes which are increddible.. if you get it at all LOL
cheapest in holland is smartphonestunts.nl.. and that is 750 euros for a tmobile locked one :twisted: but they deliver!!

My experiance with T-Mobile Austria is 35 days and still counting to receive the unlock code and not for free to pay 104 euros plus post expences what you say about it?

Pls, can you to whom did you send the fax? Anything specifi you have written in the fax?
Thanks and regards

* call T-mobile Deutchland +49-1805330160
* you have to try until you get an english speaker and provide: IMEI number, phone number, email adress, name
* fax the invoice at +49-6188828556 and write the same infos onto the bill
* wait for the unlock code

does calling t-mobile germany actualy work if you are not from germany? Even when you didn't buy the phone in germany?

The costs of the unlocking from a german T-mobile MDA pro is 99 Euro

Seems to me he means you can get it for free too if you got an agreement with t-mobile and if you do not even live in germany.
Is that true?

Cheapest site to get an unlock code ?

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.

Buy from Dell or o2?

I am planning on getting a Streak as a replacement for my HD2
I will be using an o2 sim card with the Streak. Would you recommend buying it from o2 or Dell? Are there any differences between the devices?

o2. it will save you £20. £449 from dell, £429 from cpw locked to o2. plus you can walk into a cpw and get it on the day

The only difference is from o2 it has a bit of o2 software on it and its locked to o2. From dell its unbranded and unlocked and they are both the same price but dell has added £20 delivery on to there total. I would recommend getting one from dell you don't know in 6 months you may not be on o2 and you would have a phone locked to them where as for a extra £20 you can have any Sim card

Thanks for the replies
Dell are doing 10% discount on the Streak through EPP - So that means I can get it for £409.08 including delivery.
Will we be able to upgrade the device with Dell's firmware, or would you have to wait for o2 to release their version of the firmware?

If other devices are anything to go by updates for the unbranded Streak will be out before the operator versions...

Dell said at the launch that it will defiantly get 2.2 so cannot see them going back on that just wonder why they did not build it with 2.1 on board strange

Hi Regtee2 - Can I ask how do you get this 10% EPP? Have googled it and tried various things on the Dell website and the most I can achieve is 3% EPP off a dell desktop.. Have you actually gone through to the basket and got this 10%? Ta.

You can get it from O2 online for £399. Thats £50 saving over Dell UK.
http://shop.o2.co.uk/mobile_phone/Dell/Streak_16GB_PayG
EDIT: Just to confirm I have ordered one and will be receiving it tomorrow total cost £399. I tried getting one from a O2 store but they wanted me to purchase a £10 top up aswell. I already have an O2 contract I want to use, didn't fancy spending a tenner to chuck in the bin.

I went into 3 O2 shops and tried to buy a Dell Streak on PAYG. Two of the shops wouldn't sell it to me on PAYG, just contract and the third said they can't sell it until the 24th July.
Think I'll go buy direct via Dell.

Hi all
Just a couple of points the only branding on the Streak from 02 is an 02 splash screen on boot up and some 02 themed wallpapers and that's it. Oh and the first bookmark and the page that the Browser opens up to is set up to be 02 but this is easily changed or can even be deleted if you want.
Also the update will be coming over the air direct from Dell not from 02 as their is no 02 branding on the device for them to need to approve it thankfully.

Streak from CPW
Hi all
I got a Streak from CPW believing it to be unlocked, but from CPW they are still locked to o2, thus my story begins.
Since it was locked I looked into ways of unlocking it or using an o2 PAYG sim with it, you cannot according to o2 use PAYG as the streak relies on their post pay settings, so I looked online and found the Rebel simcard option, and gave that some thought.
However in the meantime I visited the o2 store at Hempstead Valley, and at 1st there only option was for me to "put that one you have on ebay and buy a new one from us", I was not overly impressed with this, and after some cajoing the Sales assistant called o2 and they said they could not sell me the price plan (I want data only as I have a vodafone contract) without selling me a new streak. I went away, had a subway and returned to the store with a mission, get a data plan from o2, as they locked the handset, they could bloomingwell support it! after a few more phone calls they decided that they could do me a MBB plan with a dongle and just put the sim into the streak! success, all on 3g and works like a dream,
a message to o2 however, if you are gonna sell a device, no matter who it is bought via, you have to support it, not just tell people to bay the one they have and buy a new one in store!

[Q] Where to buy unlocked Omnia 7 without contract?

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...
