calling anyone who can help out a windows mobile returnee. i just got a t-mobile wing from my cousin from the US as a gift but it's still sim locked to t-mobile. this is my 2nd windows mobile phone after my o2 XDA IIs got stolen way back 3yrs ago. i love these kinds of phones coz i can do lots of stuff like install apps. but of course, i want to use the phone on my home network also. so, can i ask anybody on the site, who has free time, to call t-mobile and help me out to get an unlock code? i am from the philippines and i have no other way of calling t-mobile to get an unlock code. i tried my cousins but apparently, they're too busy to do such things at the moment. anyway, i just wanted to post this hoping somebody here, who is a t-mobile subscriber, would be kind enough to call t-mobile up for me. thanks to whoever wants to help. my t-mo wing's IMEI is 35286201606649701. my email address, by the way, is [email protected]. thanks guys!
no one wants to help...tsk tsk...
please help....
how long should the unlock code be? i got a 15-digit code? is that correct? and how do i type it in? the unlock code dialog box let's me type only 8 digits? anyone care to help?
HTC-P4351 from Unicel
I have an old HTC P-4351 (assume it's the same as the T-Mobile 4350 "Wing") that I bought from a local carrier (Unicel) that went out of business a year and a half ago. I replaced it with an AT&T Tilt2 which I'm very happy with and have found a ton of neat tricks for here. Thanks for that.
I'd like to put the 4351 on eBay but it's locked, the company is out of business and can't provide an unlock code. I attempted to get one from HTC but they replied that only the carrier could provide that information. From what I see on eBay, the thing could fetch about $80 if it wasn't a locked brick sitting in my drawer.
IMEI: 35286201072742502
Instructions on how to unlock would be greatly appreciated.
I just had a nice, long, "LiveChat" with AT&T, who purchased the original carrier (Unicell) the phone was sold by. They seemed eager to help, knew exactly what I was asking for and why, asked all the right questions including the IMEI... and then told me no unlock code was available in their system after looking it up.
I just brought Telstra T-tab (Huawei S7) from Australia but it's comes with sim lock. How can i unlock this sim card to use another network?
Thank you.
Hi, i got the same problem. usually i only use wifi but it would be nice to connect via hsdpa somtimes....
i tried some wifi2umts software solutions in combination with my S60 and my windows mobile phone but i could not get connection, neither via bluetooth - the connection over my defy (android) worked w/o problems.
The Hauwei S7 is sold in the U.S.A unlocked. It's hard to believe it's unlocked here and locked overseas. It's usually the other way around.
how much does it sell for in the US?
I picked up my T Touch for $250.
Any postings I had seen on ebay for the s7 had it at $350-$450

Yes that is strange that it is locked outside the States. I am happy to have one in my collection.

It's $299 regular price at Best Buy. No phone or data plan required.
I probably missed the intro sales price. Oh well.
...found a service company that offers the unlock codes for almost every device/provider - happy now with my unlocked S7!!!
How much did it cost?
Who have you gone with?
Pre-paid or post-paid.
I'm wondering if changing to one of the overseas kernals would cause it to be unlocked anyway. I know that some people have been playing with various versions over at the android tablets forum.

Correction and info for you. I have the australian version reflashed to US. It does not unlock the phone.
how can you reflash your Huawei S7 (T-Tab) and where can I find Huawei S7 rom?
Please advice, thank you.
Hi ultimize,
i just had my S7 unlocked by a company in the US - worked perfect!
Took about 2 days.

I thank they are unlocked when you buy it in the US. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi.. Do you mean Ideo S7?? By using unlock codes you can unlock your mobile. And this is easy too. I had search the service for your mobile. Just visit the following link and get the codes from there. http://www.superunlockcodes.com/huawei-ideos-s7-unlocking-service/rs12wp10/ . It having the service for your mobile. Here you have to give your mobile's IMEI number and other required details. So it will be helpful to generate unlock codes for your mobile. After that their information will guide you to unlock your mobile. Then you can use it to any network.

I have one T-Mobile version 8G dell venue pro for 3 weeks (from ebay), but need unlock code to use it in other network. I tried to ask code from dell unlock request code group, but they said cannot provide it since it's a retail version. So I placed order from one ebay seller and then another, but both couldn't get code for me. Then I submitted order in unlockallcellular.com, but they said so after 2 days.
Can anyone help me out of this problem? Where can buy an unlock code by searching in direct DB or cauculating method or software method LIKE fastgsm.com(they said they can only cauculate Samsung Focus). Thank you sooooooo much.

If dell doesn´t provide the unlock key I think you need to take a contract with T-mobile.
Or wait 2 days.

T-mobile kick the bal to Dell.
Anyone can help me?
I assume you want a carrier unlock? IE you use another sim than the one that was provided? If so then...
email [email protected] and say this:
Hi, I am travelling outside the US, and I need an unlock code
My IMEI is: _____________ (your imei)
Thanks!
______________________________
The IMEI is found under your battery. Also make note of the service tag as they will probably want that too.
If your trying to sideload apps, then I hear the Chevron tool works great.
yes, I've sent mail to dell. They said it's a retail item, cannot give code.

yes, I need carrier unlock. I've sent mail to dell. They said it's a retail item, cannot give code.
you might have to call them then... I still havent recieved a response, and meanwhile I already travelled to the UK, so I am phoneless. Cheapest cheap phone here is 20pounds, but Virgin Mobile gave me a free SIM card to try out so I think I will have a friend in the States call them and give em my info so I can get this unlocked promptly. Their mobile support number that you should call would be 1-800-308-3355
Same problem
Hi there
I am having the same problem, did you get this resolved?
Thanks
im having the exact same problem here. even worse, i figured getting the unlock code would be pretty easy so i swapper out the 8gb card for a 32gb sd card which means the warranty us no good anymore and i cant send it back to the ebayer i bought it from.
i got in touch with dell anyway, same thing, its a retail device to contact tmobile.
but its not possible at the moment because i need to know the phone number of the sim card that came with it to sign up to the tmobile website, and i cant find out the number.
so does anybody have an email address for tmobile i could use it would be a great help?

Successfully unlocked my phone
Communicated with Shallow Blue to obtain unlock code for my windows phone and was pleased with the service. Quick and accurate. One code worked first time for a fair fee.
Today I got an email from [email protected], Yes it is true. One person told me if i want to get unlock code I have to write to this email and then dell will provide with the unlock code. Please see attached correspondences between me and dell.
Just write to "[email protected]" as follows:
please send me my unlock code per the DMCA act.
Service Tag: "Your device's Service tag."
IMEI: "Your device's IMEI."
Just gave it a shot....I'll let you know if it worked. If it works, where do I put in the code?

Good Luck, for me it works. Maybe this for specific devices (IMEI), however it worth a try.
Are you doing this with American networks? (AT&T).
I'm from the UK, think it will work? Not that I need to unlock it because I'm on o2 anyways, it would be useful.
I tried it and it worked they sent my unlock code. Not sure what its good for. I am currently on att. What should I do unlock it any negative affect if unlocked?

If you insert a non-ATT sim card and switch on your mobile, it will prompt for a code to unlock the mobile. Press unlock and enter the code.
How long does it take before they reply with the code????

Would the resale value of the streak be bettery if unlocked?
Yes, since then it can be used with any carrier that uses a GSM network, i.e. virtually all of them in the world.

Sorry for saying that, but try to beg, explain and say please. It happened with me when I requested for the second code.
hi developers i am quite new to this site, the reason i join this i want to get the unlock code for my at&t motorola atrix 4g handset so that i can use different sim carriers,i have searched the whole threads still there is not a solution of the problem.Also i have visited different phone threads like htc sensation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107.Cant this problem be resolved like this,give some suggestion guys.U people are the best i hope someone can come up with a good idea for this problem.Also i have used some other site where they provide unlock code but they give same answers that my code cant be found.Plz developer give a look on this problem.
Hello,
I don't think there is any other way to unlock the atrix besides buying an unlock code. Unlock codes are fairly cheap on ebay, where I got mine. These are the guys that I used http://www.ebay.ca/itm/UNLOCK-CODE-...742?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb89f6246 .
hope that this helps!
hey i know about the site giving unlock codes ,i have tried cellunlock.net site but they said they cant get me the unlock code so i am confused is it worth trying on other site as i heart cellunlock.net is quite best in its work.Give me a suggestion should i try this on other site.They give this message like this
Hi
We checked the IMEI you provided again and the code is not available for that phone. If you have another phone you would like to unlock, email us the IMEI/Provider and we will try to get the code for that phone.
If not please reply to this email with "REFUND" in the email subject and we will issue refund.
What should i do?
If the phone is on AT&T, call them.
They give out the unlock codes for free as long as your account is in good standing.
The easiest way is to use their online chat support.

i know about this but my AT&T account is less than 1 year so they wont give me,also it is not in good standing too
I have tried everything.Hope someone comes out with a solution of this.

I've been with AT&T for over five years in good standing and they wouldn't give me the code either. Their excuse was that Motorola wouldn't release the codes.
I ended up unlocking mine through cellularunlock. Then went to wwwDOTpsouza4.com/bionic/#root to root.

Ask someone who has already had At&t for a year and they can call and get the code

Cellular unlock works great, pretty fast too. Only option really if you're not in the states. If you have an at &t number online chat supposedly works great.

yeh i have given my order for the unlock code to cellunlocker.net ,on the site u jst have to put imei no and see that ur phone is available in their database.Also they say on there FAQ that if the code is not found on the AT&T database than there r other options to get the code directly from the manufacture,as i put my imei no on the site they say that the code is there in there database,but i dont think they wll be able to provide me through AT&t .I am waiting for there reply if they say they cant get me the code through AT&T i wll go to the manufacture method.Hope my code come this time.
I am skeptical about unlock codes. At first I bought one on ebay it did not work. Then I got one from at&t , it did not work either. I had at&t sim inside while unlocking. I think I blocked the unlock feature by trying too many times.
YES it is possible to enter an unlock code with at&t sim inside if you enter special service code first which bring the unlock menu.
Any thoughts?

obviously it's not if you used this method and none of your codes worked.
This may have changed, but the guy at the at&t store told me a few months ago that once your phone is over six months old you can just call at&t and they will give you the code.
