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

hi
i need help i recently got a HTC Touch HD on a orange UK contract 18th of december to be precise from buymobilephones.net.

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

NO ONE CAN UNLOCK T-Mobile HTC HD2

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.

Mike,

how do i open it to b simfree?

is rooting enough?

Elaborate please. Do u want to unlock it so you can use it with any sim?

exactly...

Maybe it already is unlocked. My virgin mobile Legend was unlocked. Try a sim from another carrier and see if you can make a call.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

If you bought it with an offer or a plan from your carrier, it might be locked to that carrier (mine is too).
To answer the question, NO, rooting does not unlock it. You have to purchase an unlock code from your operator (check with them what conditions apply to this) or from Internet (there are a lot of unlocking sites with prices around 10-40 USD for unlock). The procedure is the same...you provide the IMEI and operator/country and they provide the code. Then you insert an unaccepted SIM and enter the code.
After unlocking (one way or another), this is permanent. It is not affected by the ROMs you're flashing

maybe the rebell simcard works.
but regulary you need to request an unlock from vodafone wich is pretty expensive.

thank you all....i'll check it out

I've checked with Vodafone (RO) last Friday for this. The answer was simple. If I want to get it unlocked, it'll cost me 50 EUR inside the contract period (I have a min 2 years contract) or, 10 EUR if it is done after the minimum contract time has gone (that is after 2 years).
To be honest, I just found (searching on this forum) a link to a site that unlocks it for 10 USD...so when I'll need this I'll surely go for it.

Yes, it is much lower in the US where I used to live (usually around €7/$10), and T-Mobile would provide the code for free after 90 days on contract or earlier if you were travelling outside the US. At €50 plus whatever fee is charged to break the contract early, I would think it would be cheaper to just buy a mobile sim-free and unlocked.

I won't need to have SIM free in order to break the contract earlier. I still want to remain with Vodafone...just that when traveling abroad, it might prove to be cheaper if I use a local SIM instead of using mine in roaming.
The guaranty is dead anyway from the moment I've rooted the phone and went for another ROM. I don't think that a SIM unlock code purchased cheaper on Internet will bring any changes to this...so, when I'll need it, for sure I won't give 50 EUR to Vodafone. I could better buy you all beers for the 40 EUR difference and make a good thing, instead of giving that to Vodafone, that anyway doesn't help at all (we don't even have the official update available and no news about it either)

wasnt it htc romania which said that unbranded phones will get the froyo update?
however i think they just unlock the phone the same way vodafone does so it doesnt really matters.
just spend the money on beer and be lucky with your unlocked phone

Don't know that. The update is not yet available neither at HTC nor Vofafone...and I don't care either. Meanwhile I'm enjoying CM RC2...

[Q] Can anyone unlock phones?

I need to unlock my HD2. I need to get the 25 digit activation code. Does anyone on here know how to do this or could point me in the cheapest direction for the newest database? i know mine needs a code from the most up to date database.
thanks.
:]

There is a lot of threads on this exact subject, please use search next time.
Now as for your question yes you can simple unlock your HD2 as well as most other smartphones that require a simple card to work. I see your carrier is listed as T-Mobile so all you have to do is contact T-Mobile And tell them you need a unlock code cor your HD2. Tell them you are going to have to go out of country for business or a vacation and you want to be able to use a local carrier's services while there. Or if you want just tekl them you are going to terminate your contract with them and switch to another carrier, but still want to use your HD2 and not have to buy another phone. I recommend the first suggestion myself but hey sometimes honesty is the best policy. Your other option is to go to Ebay and buy a code. they are not expensive at all. It is up to you how you want to go about getting your code. Be advised though using your HD2 with another carrier. You will only get Edge signal for your data signal. This is because of the hardware in the HD2 not the software. If you are switching to AT&T the Australian HD2 can use AT&T's 3G Signal but no other HD2.

contacting t-mobile isn't an option. ill just save up money and buy one on ebay. i knew i was gonna have to do that but i was just seeing if anyone on XDA could unlock phones.

is there a way to unlock my phone for free without calling t-mobile? like how do the people on ebay/other sites do it?

guess not....? :[

unlock code
I just got the phone off Craigslist, I didn't waste time spend little $, went to three sites, try and get codes, no luck, waste times, n hope I ll get my $ back. After 2 weeks, I finally got unlcok code from the seller, who's carrier is tmobile, since I asked him I can't get the unlock code from different sites, so he finally forwarded tmobile email w unlock code to me. So especially u r with t mobile , and why not hv they give u code?

You can get a friend who uses tmobile to do it for you? You get one unlock code every 90 days. I've unlocked two phones already including my HD2 and they don't care whose phone it belongs to.
All they ask for is the IMEI, the phone model, and an email address to contact you to send you the code. At first I got a confirmation email a day after calling, then the three days later they sent me the code.

they dont look up account info?

Not from my experience, I previously had a Samsung phone with TMobile and when I called them and told them I wanted to unlock an HD2 they didn't ask any questions and just asked for phone info. They even offered me free unlimited internet for a month as a promotional offer, lol.
Just make sure your bill is paid, they won't give you the unlock code if your bill is outstanding.
TMobile has some awesome service, I'm going to miss them.

yea, i have an outstanding bill. i tried calling them and just saying i bought the phone off of someone. they said they needed the original owner to call them. guess ill just get 1 off ebay.

How can I unlock my HD2 [Austria-Drei]

Hi. I've searched internet about this issue, but I can't find anything about this.
Can anyone help me please?
Is there any way to unlock this phone?
Thanks in advance...

buy code online or ask your operator. No free unlock tools.

unlock how?
sim unlock? call your carrier. or search online for a paid service.

But I see that I can get the codes if my phone from Austia? Am I wrong?

Also for me it was a one thing - had to have the phone for 6 months.

if your carrier doesn't offer to unlock the phone, you can get the unlock code on ebay for about 10 or 15 dollars, in about 10 minutes.

I've messaged to ebay sellers. But one of them said that we can't unlock this phone. Because codes are wrong. So any other suggestion?

Keep trying, some sellers only have version 1 of the unlock database, some have later versions , but they may charge slightly more.

1- call your carrier (did you even try this option?)
2- find an ebay seller who will give it a shot. you stand to lose 15 bucks, but i have heard of success stories.
carrier or someone selling; there really aren't other options.
