Can some one please tell me how I can unlock my T-Mobile MDA Compact?
The site imei-check.co.uk says that it will
:arrow: Cost £20
:arrow: Take upto 48h
:arrow: AND they require photo ID
So basicaly my driving licence with my address on it.
not something I am willing to send to some unknown people.
I have used the utility I got from the site, to get the unlocking information.
it looks encrypted - does anyone know how to extract the unlocking code from it?
Thanks in advance!
I'd be very wary of giving people my full address, as well as my credit card details... especially when their website uses BLINK tags. Avoid.
Hello!
They are reliable. It´s a seious company! They have alot of happy customers.
Björn
That may be so, but I still do not want to send anybody a scan of my driving licence.
and, I am sure a free solution must exist!
I am quite surprised that no one has posted it. (or am I looking in the wrong places?)

Free soultion would be contacting your vendor (o2, t-mobile, ...), from where you get your phone and ask them after the unlocking code....
Stefan
I got the unit second hand, and anyway the "vendor" in UK charges customers for unlock code.
There are plenty of FREE solutions available, however, they do not seem to work on my model
I'm from Poland, and I can't register @ PayPal... what should I do?
This is why I Like forums
You beg for help, some people say they have the same problem, others advise you to do what you do not want to do, and then the thread dies... without the solution :?
if its a second hand device and you dont have paypal find a friend that has and see if they can help, if you are unwllling to send photo id's they just go to your carrier and wait on them to get back to you with the details..... it doesnt get any simplier than that
I did not by the phone from a person I know personally.
If I were to do so, I would request that hypothetical person to get the unlocking code from T-mobile. Alas, that was not the case, and I am stuck with a phone that I cannot use.
I know that a software solution is available, I have seen it working, the most difficult part of the procedure is over, all that is left, is to decrypt the file produced by HTC PocketPC Phone Edition simlock remote unlocker. (probably with the password “we_took_you_for_the_ride_ha_ha”) and unlocking code gets calculated.
So once again, the software solution IS available.
Why must I search for friends willing to expose their ID’s on my behalf?
I have nothing to hide, in fact, I run a business, and my name can be checked on the http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ but I do not send copies of my documents to people who, as the Chinese gentlemen rightfully points out, use BLINKing text on their webpage
AND whose “business” address is
50 Belmont Street
Kilsyth
Glasgow
G65 9UP
Just see this map
Hi there,
I'm the Director of the IMEI-CHECK (brand of MIGsofT LTD UK --check us with company house too please), and we ask for the ID JUST to check that you are the real OWNER of the paypal account. Buying via paypal, we already have you details (NAME + ADDRESS) and the ID it will JUST confirm IT, THAT'S all.
Also MIGsofT Ltd signed the DATA PROTECTION ACT (please feel free in checking that too) so all your data are safe with us, and the address you posted is the correct one (please feel free to mail us some nice post cards, and if you want to visit our office please make an appointment first!).
We had to introduce this protection to avoid people buying with hijacked accounts, because two weeks ago we caught one of the big scammers/phishers and now police is investigating this and paypal and eBay need (a much to long) time to investigate.
So to protect ourselves we had to install this extra protection.
The seller is not getting any money if was used by hijacked paypal accounts. Even worse we have to pay GBP7 / reversed transaction...
To keep this service online we request something which proves identity of the paypal account holder. So the hijacker (which sold for 15GBP on eBay) will not have a chance anymore. We have to continue until police arrested this guy (full address and name are known)
Also the blinking text is really needed since 99% of customers will not read what not blink (we tried with red and bold and nobody read it so we had to do something)
what about users, that can't register to PayPal?
noone will help me
In the end, I paid £30 to a friend of mine who does unlocking as hobby.
I sent him the file produced by the HTC unlocking application, and he texted me the unlocking code. 8)
I am now a happy owner of a MDA compact; everything works the way I want, except voice dialling. :shock: But that is another issue altogether.
P.S. to the director of the IMEI unlocking company:
The address looks like residential to me…

Verizon just launched vcast for PDA's. It is a free subscription unlike the dumb phones for $15. Type m.vcast.com in browser and press sign up. I'm running dcd 3.2.6 and WMP gave me an error which I had to send a trouble email with the help link and got a response in 30minutes and the issue was fixed. A data plan would be highly recommended as its streaming media.
are you saying its free? verizon launched a free application? thats, umm, different.
Stuck at sign-up

I signed up and got the txt with the pin and link to activate. But, when I clicked the link, it brought me back to the m.vcast.com sign-up page. How'd you set it up, sign-in, etc.?
same thing is happening for me. My activation link takes me to the sign up page. The text gave me a code and a link but the link doesn't work and i have no where to put my code. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I finally got it to work. I launched the link with IE instead of Opera Mini and it directed me to the right page.
If it works now, it's cause they fixed it. Believe me i tested it on all my mobile browsers, and then i tested it on my desktop. Neither worked. I just clicked on it now and it worked. So they fixed it =D.
I've been trying since yesterday and all I keep getting is an error saying "the page cannot be found. Check the name and try again".
I've been trying http://m.vcast.com

My phones on UK O2, and got the very annoying age verification stuff on it. This means that if I want to browse an 18+ website, no not just porn, I need to verify my age first. However, this can only be done by entering a valid credit card number, I choose not to have a credit card only a debit card, so I'm unable to remove it.
Just wondered if anyone knew how to get round this without flashing the ROM.?
just ring o2... i did and they released the account.
he is right, just give them a call. I've never been bothered much about this bar, but one day I got p....d off quite badly when I was trying to open google translator page and got their +18 bar message. (!)
edit: already been said.
Thanks for the info guys, I've just phoned O2 seems I got a 2 day wait before this can be removed.
Thx again.
admit it, its for porn
Hello everyone, I came across a problem i cannot seem to be able to fix.
I obtained an activation code from Microsoft but it did not work i reinstalled everything on my phone redid everything thinking i may have done a mistake in the installation process but it did not work.
I called Microsoft to ask them for a different one and they said they could only give 1 code but i at least got a confirmation that the code was correct.
So what could be the problem?
Is their anyway we can skip the Activation Code without needing an actual code.
any solution to this except buying and HD7 would be greatly appreciated.
even installation ones who knows maybe i did do something wrong.
I seen somewhere around here that you have to hard reset your phone, in order for it to work, look around. If that doesn't work then what i would do is call MS and tell them your code isn't working anymore for some reason, and make up some story to them.
how about being another john dough and request a password as a new person?

How do you know it didn't work? Did the phone give a message that it was wrong code or what? Is it just the market not working? Are you sure that you just didn't do the registry changes correctly to change it to a hd7?
when I input it and selected activate it said activation failed after I called ms to confirm the code was right I tried it again but it failed. Is. Their something else I have to do besides the instructions on the thread?
yippe!!!!! just scored a code from indonesia using a hidemyass proxy
the cs rep ask me for my phone model, address, full name, etc, then done
he don't ask me for imei!!
DO YOU WANT AN ACTIVATION CODE? OR DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A CALL FOR SOMEBODY ELSE?
Post here if you tried the follow at least 3X!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911579
I know how annoying it is when you call MS a lot for a code, wasting all your money cause the local cal-center "can not help you with that problem". i also saw people that manage to easily get 3 codes, without wasting money. i also saw some people, like me, that did not manage to get a code but really tried it...
So.... What about 1 topic where people can help each other?!?!
IF YOU WANT A CODE:
Please ask nicely in your post for an code. ALSO EXPLAIN WHY U CAN'T GET ONE YOURSELF!!! if you got one, be gratefull, thank him, maybe buy him a beer
IF YOU WANT TO HELP SOMEBODY, so he can also enjoy WP7, just as much as you do...
Please call your MS-central and obtain a key (just as you probably did before). Then reply on the request-post: say you got a code.
PM the user with that code.
CONTINUE YOUR DAY WITH THE FEELING THAT YOU REALLY HELPED SOMEONE!!
Okay i will be first...
I am from the Netherlands and my local MS/HTC call-center won't give me a code cause they want to verify my HD7 IMEI, wich i don't have of course...
i called the UK number A LOT, 1 time somebody said he will mail it to me, but i never got a code. other times people said they can't give that code, BLA BLA BLA... all this calling to the UK has cost me over 10 euros...
Would somebody like to help me? and call for me?
it would REALLY be appreciated!
Thanks already!
man i had managed to obtain 2 codes long time back ,......lost one of them ... wil try to search .. i cant promise but will intensly and if i find it will give it to you ..for sure ..also PM me i have a good idea for you ..

Hi at all,
I am not facing the problem, coz I got my code one year ago without any problems from Germany. What I am wondering is, it seems that ppl at microsoft pick up their ears as soon someone tells them he has a HD7, since they started asking for the IMEI.
Well I am quite sure that one can use his activation code on any WP7 device, as it is stated that you can use one code on 5 devices. So why not just tell them. "hi there I need an activation code for my Nokia Lumia 800" ?
Just an idea, maybe it helps.
greetz, pronor

Exactly :/ Tried to get one and failed :/ First they were asking a lot about phone, second time they wanted me to call them so I left :/ Next time I was angry and just told them that I need activation key because I want to buy some apps it didnt work also I hope someone with better luck or "skill" can send me one Big thanks!
Hi, just a heads up:
Some of you are posting "please help" and posting your email. That's completely useless, since to get the code, more details are needed (don't make them public now or it will be dangerous). In addition, some of you post a Gmail: you need Hotmail to get the code Live ID.
Instead of posting "I've been trying for a year, please help", try the new methods (really, a year and nothing? ), and if none of them works (some should), look for someone who can do it for you. So don't sit back, move if you are really interested.
I can do it or try, I've done it before for me and another user, but I will never contact you to help you . I will help you if you contact me, though. You are the one with interest for it, not me.
