Unlocking the MyTouch 3G

Hey. I recently won a MyTouch 3G, altough I live in Sweden, so I can't use my own operator...
How can I use my own sim card and operator?
I have to unlock the phone, right? Where can I get a code without buying it? Or can I flash the phone so it gets unlocked?
Thanks in advance.

Your going to have to buy it. I have been told that theres a place on ebay that does the MT3G for $12.
Who did you win the phone from? Is it new?

From htcpedia.com - a very good site. And yes, it's new.
I've been talking to T-mobile, but they refered me to HTC to get an unlock code... So I guess we'll se what happens.

I got my phone about a month before they released it to the public. When I contacted T-mobile for the unlock code they has to request it from HTC. They said it would take 2-14 days...... I got the code 6 weeks later.

Damn..that's unbelievable!!!

I got my myTouch through T-Mobile in early August and contacted them about unlocking it a few weeks later, prior to what I thought was going to be a several-week trip to Canada. At first I was told I'd be sent the code/instructions within 24 hours. I called back 24 hours later when nothing came and was told that the 24-hour turnaround was mistaken because the phone was so new, therefore they'd have to go through HTC to get it; and they'd send it to me whenever they got it from HTC. That was about 5 weeks, and I've still not seen anything (although I haven't called them back again yet, either, as my trip ended up only being one week and I turned out to not need phone service much while I was there, so I ended up not being too concerned about it).

I would call them back now. I called them 4 weeks later nd it still took them 2 weeks to get it to me. The unlock code just makes your phone more valueable.

Ebay, swift unlocks sells unlock codes, 12.85 US, I think...I have bought 2, and both were there within a couple of hours...

just got my o2 hd2 unlocked

bout time. all in all about 2 weeks wait

You get it unlocked by o2? I have been waiting over 2 weeks and still no unlock code.

Unsimlock HTC Hero

Hi everyone
I just spent more than 2 hours to search about how to unsimlock my htc hero. Just found useless stuff about buying code or making "goldcards".
I want to unsimlock it PERMANENTLY and without buying a f**cking 15 or 17 or 20 or 37$ unlock code
I want it to be exactly like a normal phone.
So here's my question : just is that possible? and if so, how?
Thanks

Already done. I flashed the last bootloader, the last recovery (amon RA) and I installed VillainROM 13 but when I start the phone, it asks me a code to unlock the network after I insert my PIN code.

Used unlocking .com for my wife hero bought in UK and locked on orange. 15 bucks and delivered in 12 he's. Was easy

As I said, I want to find a way to do that for FREE
My question is : is there such a way?

There are no free lunches. I have just paid twelve bucks to unlock mine... Let's see if they can get the code :O

I had the same issue with unlocking the T-Mobile G2 Touch (aka HTC Hero G2) and managed to get the code free of charge from T-Mobile.
I wrote to their Subsidy Pin Team, and gave them the Make, Model, IMEI of the phone, along with my name, phone number, email and home address.
Did help though cos I found a post of 3G.co.uk which I referred to in my letter to them.
Worked for me, may work for you....

had the same problem ..I live in Tunisia I cant buy the code even if i wanted sooo .. roting the phone is not enough .. I used goldcard method including downgrading to 1.5 official HTC rom .. then it worked
hope i was helpful

G2 Touch Only
I have a second hand G2 touch and managed to get the unlock code from T-Mobile for free. Some places do it for as little as a tenner but unfortunately you do need a code to unlock it (Even the phone shops do it by entering the code these days I believe).

[Q] Orange sim unlock

Hi all, is there anyone who successfully unlocked ? If any, could you please tell me the details of how could you unlock the arc sim lock? As I v just brought a branded orange xperia arc from Ebay.

I unlocked mine last week with a code from cellunlocker.net - it took them about 5 days to get the code, but it worked with out problem. I was starting to get sceptical it wasn't going to turn up, but I emailed the support dept. and the code appeared in my inbox about 10 minutes later.
They did initially ask for some other information including the serial number of the phone as they said they would need to get the codes direct from SE.

Same here, I used cellunlocker. Took 5 days for them to get the code from Sony Ericsson but worked a treat.

Able to unlock to use ATT sim.?

I have a tmob s7 e that is not able to be unlocked yet by customer service. Is there a paid service I can use to unlock it so I can use an ATT sim?

i have mine unlocked thru cellunlocker and it works! went thru 2 fw updates still unlocked.

You can buy the unlock from ebay, search for tmobile app unlock, 6 bucks, 2-3 hours wait time.
Just did mine a few days ago, cause I was tired of waiting for tmobile to clear my phone, cause it's been on the network since release and paid off.

Its alot quicker if you use their twitter customer support. No hold times or waiting and they type in English and easy to understand. Got mine unlocked easy that way.

The one I bought said 1-24hrs I believe, but I got it within 2-3 or so, just get one that says 24hrs or so, waited this long, what's another day or two?

They unlocked mine for free I told them I was going out of the country for vacation and they temporary unlocked mine for a month and then when it expired after they said they'd reunlock it for another month before it expired which they didn't they permanently unlocked it for me and I'm on jump on demand with the device so I had no intention of paying off the phone fully.
