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

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

Alas, the question that is asked by many... finally answered.
People, please do NOT give in to scams such as these.
You can unlock your phone, for FREE by calling T-Mobile.
Dial in 611 and when prompted say "representative".
You will be prompted for the standard account authorization (last 4 digits of the primary account holders social), then be transfered to an eagerly awaiting T-Mobile customer representative, who will be more than willing to hand over an unlock code for you.
That's it. It's that simple.
As for unlocking in foreign countries, I'm not sure how that would work out for you guys. Get in contact with a T-Mobile customer in good standing, and I'm sure he can unlock it for you with no problems
Now that it's been posted, please STOP POSTING UP FAKE "HOW TO UNLOCK" TUTORIALS.
No one wants to buy your "new advanced revolutionary technique."
Knowledge is free.
Lol. Or yu could just flash jf's rc30.
Btw. One of the criteria for calling tmoh is that you have to have been with them for 3 months.
so i can call the # say representative my last 3 #s of my s.s.# and do i have to ask for 1 or do they just say it?

jf rc30 is not for sim unlocking which is using the g1 on other networks like att. etc..
To get an unlock code call 611 then ask for representative they will ask for the last 4 # on your ss thats is on file for that account. Then they will ask you why you want to unlock it just tell them your going out of county and you would like to use your phone there.
They will put the order in and it will take 24hr-14day because they submit it to htc.
They will need the imei of your g1 go get that number dail #06#
Thats what i did and i got my code in 2days free of charge.

1. Dial 611.
2. Say "English"
3. Say "Representative"
4. Say/Enter the last 4 digits of your social.
5. Wait for rep.
6. Tell the rep you're leaving the country and want to switch to one of the local networks over there while you're gone. (they might try to sell you a roaming plan, but emphasize the fact that you are going to be using a local SIM and they'll understand)
7. Rep will now guide you through unlocking your T-Mobile G1.
8. Enjoy.

i rang up t-mobile (UK) and they said they charge £15 to have it unlocked!
Also when calling in to tmo for your free sim unlock code make sure your bill is paid up to date.
It's not a scam if you're not a t-mobile costumer. I don't understand why this keeps coming up. T-mobile won't just send me a free code since I'm on ATT.
T-Mobile has to send you a code, try calling 1-877-453-1304.
oops! double post- browser issues....
so t-mobile HAVE to provide you with an unlock code if you ring them? What about if you aren't a customer and bought the phone off ebay? Can you get a friend with a t-mobile contract to ring?
u know u dont have to think about this if u buy one in Vietnam? I got mine for $464 with unlock code provided right at the couter desk. Errrhh... Do i miss something?

I think there is a US law that's come into affect that all Carriers must allow customers to unlock there phone free of charge.
In the UK though carriers are allowed to charge and will.
If it is a UK phone then they don't need to give it free.. but if it is a US Phone you can call the US number or email them and get a free unlock code.

No need to lie. I got mine unlocked by calling in and telling them I wanted to unlock IN CASE I travel out of the country, which I do every few years...

USA has a new law that requires all cellphone providers to unlock your phone (free of charge). It's your legal right to unlock your phone, in the United States.
UK may be different, and like I said, you may need to check with your local policies.

Legally, if you are a T-Mobile customer for 3 months (or just a customer in good standing), you have the right to unlock ANY (T-Mobile) phone you'd like.
Regardless how you got your hands on it, as long as it isn't stolen, you are guaranteed an unlock code.
This article explains a little more about unlocking laws. (It speaks mainly about the legality of unlocking, but is aimed at the iPhone)

if you buy a phone off ebay, you cannot get the code from T-Mobile. If you buy a phone at full cost with no discount (subsidy) for signing a contract, you can have the phone unlocked immediately.

Not true. T-Mobile has to unlock it. It is the law by the FCC that any phone you buy can and must be unlocked by the original company on request.
hello,
I just received my new htc hd2 from amazon. the first thing I did after that, was ordering a remote unlock code. the first website that provides unlocking codes had refunded me because they could not find my code in their database.
I did not believe them.
So, I went to another website and also they could not unlock my hd2 and also had refunded me.
Now, How possibly can I unlock it????????
Have you checked htccode.com?

Just want to ask where you were able to purchase TMo version of HD2? Was it outside the Phils?
try this it worked for me , I found a 50% off promotion for an unlocking site - the originally-named cellunlock.net. Was happy enough paying $20USD for the code, given I was emailed it three hours after I submitted the order.
Code is berryscoop50,

If you got a T-Mobile "US" version, put "T-Mobile US" in the title. The European T-Mobile phones are already unlocked or codes are available for ones that are locked. If you don't know what version of HD2 you have, check the ROM size. If it shows "1024" for ROM size, you have the T-Mobile US version. 512 of ROM and you have T-Mobile European version. All HD2's come stock with 512MB ROM and 448MB RAM. The US version is the black sheep in the family as it has more ROM and RAM out of the box.

Hey I just got the Tmobile HD2 but I have ATT and was wondering whats the best and fastest website to unlock this phone.
It it is a Tmobile HD2 you should be able to call them , they will unlock it ....

You can buy unlock codes from ebay or places like that. But after 40 days, you can call T-Mobile and theyll provide you with the unlock code for free. Also flashing a ROM might unlock it but im not sure

No, flashing a ROM is completely separate from sim-unlocking The upside to that is that once you sim-unlock it, you can flash all you want without having to do it again.
Ok. Thanks for the help. I tried TMobile but they said only if I am a tmobile customer. So thats why I was asking for a good unlocking website. But I will try tmobile again today. Thanks again. But if anyone knows of a good one just in case can you please post it.
some friends advised me this one

There are cheaper unlock, but I'm not sure that they are working
Hey guys ,
so i am sending a HD2 to my cuz in Asia , i need to unlock the phone to work there. What should i do .
Thanks
Get a SIM unlock code for it from eBay or someplace similiar. Should be about 15 bucks.
Or as a T-Mobile employee I can tell you to call customer care and ask them for the unlock codes. They will give it to you after 90 days of being in service with them.
There is no other way ?i bought the phone from someone else
? What do you mean? You have 2 options, either call T-Mobile if you are a T-Mobile customer, or purchase an unlock from somewhere like eBay or http://www.HTCunlock.com.

ok , i can call the Customer Service but one thing. this Phone i am trying to unlock is not the one i took out on their plan , i got it from diffrent person. I have 2 phone that i got from Tmobile and this is third HD2 that i bought from another person to send to Asia. I can unlock this third one from Tmobile ? Or i can only unlock those phones that i purchased from tmobile on my acc.
So wait, are you trying to unlock an iPhone, or an HD2? And are you actually a T-Mobile customer, and did you purchase the HD2 DIRECTLY FROM T-Mobile?

Sorry for a whole lot of confusions .
Idk where you got the Iphone from lol
I am a Tmobile customer for last 5 years, i have 2 line and i took out 2 HD2 when they came out this year . I bought a 3rd HD2 from a friend which i am sending to Asia.
I called Tmobile CS , told them i need to unlock and gave em the IMEM number , the CS Rep was very good , he told me i will get a email in couple of days.
Oh wow...I gotta lol at myself on that one..."Phone i" somehow turned into "iPhone" gawd I am dense sometimes!
Sorry for the late response. It doesn't "really" (in quotes for a reason) matter if you bought it from us or not. If you make a credible excuse to them we will help you unlock it. Example: You call customer care and say I am traveling to Asia and I do not want to take my HD2. A friend of mine sold me his because he didn't like it. I want to take his because if I lose it then I will not have to worry about it as much because it is not my primary number. Boom there you go.
