I have appraoched a few companies (and also paid them) to get my HTC HD2 unlocked (Tmobile USA) but they came back to me with "the IMEI is new". Any suggestions on a possible website that unlocks these new ones will be appreciated.
Thanks all
PM me your IMEI
have you tried asking t-mobile? I've heard they will give it to you 60days after you get the phone.
I got my unlock code for my HD2 after I told T-Mo I was leaving the country and there roaming charges sucked. I told them I was going to buy a local pay as you go sim card and use it in my phone. In like a month HTC E-Mailed me the code after T-Mobile requested it.
But you need to be a Tmobile user in order to call and ask for the Unlock code? They will ask you about the plan that you have?
Because I have an HD2 from Tmobile but I'm not a customer.

Hi all! Two weeks ago i bought a sim locked t-mobile wing from usa to russia. I was unpleasant surprised that there is no free and simple solutions for unlock this model. My question: people who have a t-mo account help me please) Could u call 611 and ask code for me? Or it is possible only for a first owner? . Thanks)
1. Dont put ur imei here. This is a public forum, so everyone @ internet can see it
2. Contact jockw2001... He can help u for a small fee
hi. im new here and i just got a t-mobile wing for doing some work. does this jockw2001 have a wesite to unlock the phone?
just call tmobile your self. i recently bought an att tilt off ebay that was locked and att gave me the code for free. when i was useing my wing tmobile gave me the unlock code for free too.
dont you have to be a subscriber for t-mobile to get one? im an at&t user and i dont want to wait 90 days to be able to do it.
T-Mobile USA provides the unlock code for free if
you are in a service agreement
you have a T-Mobile USA prepaid card and uploaded at least $10.00 during the past 3 months
You sure still can try to get the unlock code from them by contacting them via email at www.t-mobile.com
Other than that, I doubt that you can reach T-Mobile USA Customer Care from outside the US.
It sure will work if you know a US citizen with a T-Mobile plan or prepaid card. He then can contact T-Mobile for you and request a SIM UNLOCK CODE by providing them with the device IMEI.
well if thats all i need to do, then i will find someone that has t-mobile. i live in the US so im not worried about not being able to contact t-mobile customer service. thank you for all of your help. you guys are awesome!

Hi,
sorry if this has been posted before:
I'd like to know if I buy this phone from Carriers different from my local BELL carrier , would it be possible to unlock the Legend myself for FREE?
I know i can pay $20 to buy some unlock code to unlock the phone from several websites but im wondering if its something i can generate somehow using tools that the members has developped from xda?
Thanks
I am also wondering if I can unlock this bad boy for use on our Telus network here in Canada... Virgin Mobile has it as of right now, and Bell is going to get it on the 16th (that may solve your problem, OP) but I'm looking at buying it outright and unlocking it for Telus... Possible? and possibly free? or do I have to pay for unlocking? (never unlocked a phone before)

Been googling and so far nothing but PAID unlock codes...
but to answer your question... that's what the "unlocking" is for... once you unlock your phone you can use it on any carrier and therefore not locked to a specific carrier... yes Virgin has it so you can buy Virgin's Legend and use it on Telus once unlocked of course. You'll probably have some Virgin's and Bell's software on it which you cant use.
you can flash it with a unbranded firmware, "RUU", it's a exe file, lanch it from pc and it installs the new firmware just like a firmware update should work this way
I have the Virgin Legend and there are only two signs of any carrier customizations: A Self Serve App (it's actually a shortcut to Bell's site, and it doesn't even work) and a TV & Music App (which can't connect). I am guessing that they don't work because it's probably identical to the Bell Legend which has those on it, I don't think they're intended for the Virgin model, or at least they're not tapped into the system properly yet.
you can unlock for $10 at cellunlock.net with coupon code crackb50. got this from howard forums.
Thanks for the coupon code. I just used it now. $10 is a lot more reasonable than $20 (regular price was actually $30 but it was $10 off before the coupon).
I was going to get a Rebel SIM II shipped to me but Koodo released SIM cards today and I want to get this thing unlocked before the weekend. Hope typing in a number doesn't void the warranty.
I am planning a trip to Europe soon. My Att Atrix is rooted and unlocked running cm9, but not unlocked for different SIM cards.
What do I need to do to have my phone work in Italy, and Denmark. I was just going to pick up a SIM card at the airport.
Do I need to flash a international radio? What provider should I buy a SIM from? Anyone recommend a specific unlocking code provider?

1. You should buy an unlock code (I bought from ebay, 99 cents).
2. Buy sim card from GSM provider.
3. you're set.
Call ATT and ask them for unlock code. they should be able to provide it to you for free if you are a customer.

AT&T used to provide unlock codes free if you had an account more than 90 days old. Then they changed to "the phone has to be released more than a year ago". Now they've changed again, not sure but I think back to 90 days.
Call them and ask, when you say you are going overseas they should ive you the code if their timeout has been met.
The Atrix IS a GSM 4-band international ready phone, no need to monkey with that. Unless your mods changed something, it will use the right band wherever you are.
As to which provider...ask about rates and coverage for each area you'll be in.
The unlock code from AT&T cannot actually be applied until you try to turn on the phone with an "alien" SIM card in it, so once you get the code you might want to borrow a TMobile or other SIM so you can confirm the code actually will work for you. (Or buy a cheapie here.)

Good information. I'll be honeymooning in Mexico this summer and thinking of leaving my Note at home and bringing my trusty Atrix with me.
I got one of these phones, i bought it today at a walmart
removed the att sim card and then I powered it on to check it out. I have not connected it to the internet yet.
My idea is to use the phone outside the US, with a carrier from another country.
I checked ebay and unlock codes are crazy, like 30dollars.
Is there any other place i can get a cheaper option to carrier unlock the phone?
if you have any tips please help me out, thank you.

I got the Huawei Elate unlocked from Cricket over chat
I just explained to them that I'm an AT&T customer and I needed to use the Elate as a backup
on my plan. I'm pretty sure AT&T would do the same if you explained your situation.
Note: I had already signed up for the Cricket Unlimited plan when I ask for the unlock
Hello..purchased my Galaxy S10+ directly from Samsung. I got the AT&T model however. Does anybody know if the phone will accept a pre-paid SIM when travelling internationally? Plan on going to Ireland, and would like to use my S10+ with a pre-paid sim from one of the carriers over there (Vodaphone, etc..). Wasn't sure if that was possible as I bought the AT&T model. I do have an unlocked Nokia as a backup, but obviously would prefer to only have 1 phone rather than 2.
Thanks in advance.
I did the exact there same thing so I can get WiFi/video call working.
You have to call at&t to get it unlock for using it overseas. Otherwise it won't work. If paid off, at&t will provide unlock code within a day. That's what I did
How would Att even know (or care) if it was paid off?

It's an AT&T phone so IMEI registered in their data base. When you request they can check if they phone paid off or not. If paid off they will provide you an unlock code. If you phone is not then you can buy an unlock code on eBay and cost around $30-$40. I have done both way to get a few galaxy unlock this way
