Atrix will work anywhere
You need to check if the one you're looking to buy is already able to use any carriers SIm... if it isn't then there are people on ebay who will be able to unlock it for you and it should only cost you a few pounds.

Where can I get an SIM free XDA2?

I want an XDA2!!
Sooner than later. Will settle for an imate or Qtec2020
Anyone got any ideas?
I would personally buy an Imate.
I bought mine from www.compume.com
or Arne is a great guy and has them in stock www.ppcw.net
I should of explained more.
I need 16 before Friday
Then another 500 sooner than later..
(UK based is also pref.)
wow
lol
well most places i've seen carry then without simlocks are small online and stores and such and i would very much doubt they could supply 16 that fast
maybe if you went to o2 or tmobile you could buy a pile and get them unlocked and without sim think they often sell them with that option but you have to pay alot! more
O2 and tmobile wont do that :x
Anymore idea??!?
Thanks in advance.
well maybe orange here they sell the xda2 under the name SPV M1000
and if you want to buy it wihtout a subscription
they cost 928.597 GBP a pop
so if you want 16 it's 14848 GBP
a bit on the pricy side if you ask me though
Not an ideal option but might be one to go down.
not sure if orange uk ofer them yet though cant see it on their site
Contacted Dangaard Belgium.
There seems to be a production problem for the moment with the 2020.
No units available (high quantities) until half february.
If you like, I can inform for T-Mobile MDA II (same device), but they will have a German manual (English ROM, simlock free).
Hi there we can do them for you (o2 XDAII) but we can unlock them for you for £450 each let me know
[email protected]
Buy the t-mobile MDA2 sim free, (german version) and then upload the new rom from T-mobile NL which makes the machine perfect uk usable
Machine is only €799,- sim FREE and there are lodes of them
NO PROBLEMO
take a trip into manchester airport terminal 3 get a ticket for plane and go into the departure lounge they got a tax free dixons they sell the XDA locked to bt ofcouse but no contract for £500ish
you can easily lock them yourself.... the software is in this forum!!

Howto Unlock
How do i remove my simlock from my htc magic. Is there special hardware equipment needed.
I understand that the simlock mechanism is separate from the firmware mechanism.
Can somebody give met technical details?
They are already unlocked.
Vodafone edition of the HTC Magic works with all carriers, so no need to unlock
does that apply to germany as well?

celester340 - if you are in the USA you can get an unlocked Magic from ImportGSM.com - thats where I got my Rogers Magic and using it on AT&T with full 3G. If you are not in the US, the Vodafone units are the way to go..many on-line places to get those.
Regards - John
And if you are with T-Mobile US, your only choice is the Google Ion as of now. By month end, T-Mobile will release its version of the HTC Magic (myTouch 3G).
i got my phone from ebay UK YAY!!!!

If you'd like to have it please let me know.
warranty in HTC portugal is for 2 years so HTC provides internacionaly 2 years warraty.
Reason of selling, i got tired of the phone and want something better. Nexus one problably
Beside the phone beeing rooted in portugal the warranty works without issue, you just have to put the original SPL at least and everything will be OK.
Has original plus 3 extra battery
1 USB cable
1 hearjack
1 external charger
16GB Class 6 MicroSD memory
its a 32A
its almost as new the phone, just small scratches on the backplate, you cant see but is normal of the use.
Never was overclocked.
if you like to have it let me know

possible problem on the way

Hi,
i just bought a htc g1 locked to t-mobile austria. I got a good price for it and i decided to buy it because i found a lot of information regarding the unlocking of the phone (so that i can use in vodafone card here in Portugal).
But the problem is, it seems t-mobile austria changes the native codes.. I'm, trying to talk to a lot of ebay stores and some sites, but the most usual answer until now is that they can't supply the code to unlock the phone from t-mobile austria.
What can i do?
thanks
I would look into seeing if T-MO Austria can unlock it for you (they may charge a fee tho).

Noob with O2 locked Streak!

Hi Guys
I pick up my new streak tomorrow from someone local on eBay, It's currently locked to O2, just wondering, is there any other way apart from rebel sim ii to unlock it? I noticed they can do it over the air for £35 but not sure if anyone has tried this? I know that O2 can unlock it, but considering the streak's only been out since august-ish, i'm guessing nobody should have had luck with them in the first year?
I've also noticed that the 2.2 update won't work with rebel ii ?
Cheers! Dave
i believe this question has been asked multiple times on the forums and some O2 customers have been able to get free unlocks from the carrier, no idea how though since im not an O2 customer. otherwise, ebay can be your friend too but it will cost you more.

Any way at all to unlock a SHV31 (Sharp Aquos Mini)?

Hi there,
I'm currently in Tokyo and grabbed one of these (second-hand) to replace my rapidly dying Z1 Compact. As I'll be heading back to the UK in a few weeks, is there any way at all I can get this model unlocked? I assumed I'd be able to buy a code from an online marketplace when I bought it, but haven't had any luck. Is there anywhere in Akihabara?
The only place I've found online is here: http://www.sgkeitai.com/goods.php?id=25, but spending $50/100 to unlock a phone seems pretty ridiculous, surely there's got to be a cheaper alternative?
Cheers,
Upon further research, I think a hypersim is the way to go - does anyone know where I can buy a nano microsim?
