What does the author meant by SIM Free? Isn't it just taking the SIM out considered as SIM free?
removing simlock so any providers simcard can be inserted without the problem that the universal blocks the sim
for example: my mda pro is locked to t-mobile. if i insert an o2 simcard i cant use the phone function, it only works with t-mobile simcards.
with this unlock i can use any providers simcard i would want to

Do you mean it is blocked in the UK? Did you get it as a second hand?
No, its new. it isnt blocked, its locked for vodafone uk network, but is sim unlocked.
Yep, that's what this is all about. It's not really to remove the SIMLock, but more specifically a NETlock which locks the device to a specific provider/network.
Or probably both, but I don't know if there is even any SIM-locked Universal out there. I think if the Universal comes with a lock it is generally a NETlock AFAIK.
SIMlock is usally used for chreaper prepaid bundles and NETlock for higher priced but branded devices.
Guys im Uk resident with a HD locked to Orange, if im going abroad to Europe and i want to put a european simcard from another network in my phone do i need it to be sim unlocked or is this just for other uk networks??
you would need the phone to be unlocked if you want to use any sim card that doesn't belong to orange.
ok thanks...........
Hi,
I have bought a X1 in Germany, was apparently simlocked, but works perfectly in LUxembourg with Luxembourg Tango card. Now I am in Germany and people can call me but I cannot call and there is an airplane symbol next to the signal one. So it looks like it is simlocked in Germany only. I have ordered and got the 8 digit code with htccode.com, but I do not know where to enter it. WHAT CAN I DO???? PLEASE HELP!!!!
I have a question:
I would buy the HTC magic in Belgium (proximus) where I am for work, but in a few months I have to go back to my country (Italy) and I still would like to use my phone with the sim card of my italian operator (Vodafone). I understood that I cannot. Why? is the phon blocked to the proximus sim? This is very strange to me because it means that I can use the phone only in one country.
Anyone can avoid me from buing something I can use only in Belgium.
Cheers
Andrea
I have recently moved from the UK to the US, taking with me my S8. I requested a SIM unlock code from Vodafone UK before leaving but when I went to use the code when I got a US sim, it didn't unlock. I contacted Vodafone and they explained that the code does not work out of the country as it needs to connect to the Vodafone network to be verified.
Is there a way of SIM unlocking my phone here in the US? (Short of sending it to a friend in the UK and living without a phone for ~2 weeks)
Cheers!
