Look on sammobile/unlock or the theunlockr.com. both are good and reputable.

I'm afraid neither of those sites work and unlockr is dead.

Realy, strange. I ever used them but heard good things about them

Try the link yourself. Unlockr.com just has a search landing page as the site isn't there.

Use Xperia without Sim Card?

Hi people
I jusr recently switched from my beloved HD2 and got an Xperia X10 locked to vodafone Spain
Is there an unlocking solution for this device already?
Is there a way to backdoor meanwhile and be able to use the device without the Sim Card? Since the sim card is not correct it just stands in emergency call option at the bottom and cannot access no syncing options
All help is sincerely appreciated!
So, no answer?
I would love to use mine without SIM

i don't know how it is in spain, but can't you buy just only an prepaid simcard for vodafone? here in holland they are pretty cheap and no need to register your name, adress etc etc, just buy it in store here.
Hmm, actually this is a good idea

Yeah thats exactly what I did this afternoon, until theres a solution it will be fine. Anyhow I found a site link that for 15€ they send u the IMEI code.
Hope that does the trick
In xperia x10 is same Satio in Spain. It needs a sim card because don´t work.
Hi ,
Debranding the phone should resolve this issue with branded devices ,
but i update the firmware to generic version but without succes any advice
Unlock it and you will be able to use it w/o a SIM

[Q] Will the US VP's 3G work in Europe?

So according to the other thread the US version would have 850/1700/2100.
Would that work in Europe? (Netherlands/Belgium/Germany) Or just in the US?
Sorry if this has been answered before. Can't find a clear overview anywhere.
EDIT: Found out that European HSDPA is 1900/2100. (1900 being for upstream 2100 for downstream). Does that mean I can still use 3g but only downstream?
The US version has 900/1700/2100 - it can for sure be used in the UK
I don't know what bands the rest of Europe uses
The australia version is advertised as having 1900/2100

Couple of people I know are going to visit NY for 10 days starting next week.
But I just found out there's not a single Microsoft store on the East Coast
Ebay's filled with preorders unfortunately.
Bah.
If anyone has tips on getting a VP to NY so they can pick it up in the next couple of weeks, please let me know
@Peew: GSM 900 is used accross Europe, no exceptions. Phone supports it so it'll work.

Smart man will probably need a US credit card though?
Think I'm going to buy an HTC Trophy anyway, because then I can get it today, won't have to worry about minor hardware mistakes or other warranty related stuff... And I'll have it today
Just played around with it in a store and I fell in love immediately with the OS. Couldn't see the phone anymore, so I figured it's not worth the hassle.
Out of interest, why go for the Trophy over the HD7? I only ask as I've been trying to work out what benefits it would give. I'm assuming here that you're buying the phone outright and so it's not a case of it's the only model you can get from your operator.

Are you sure? I can't find the info on their website.
Edit: Found it.
So is it possible to get it shipped overseas? Or is it only possible to get it shipped internally even if paying with paypal?
I had a brief look a couple of days ago and shipping overseas didn't seem to be an option!

Excellent Got a Trophy now, but the VP might make a nice present
WP7 is absolutely stunning though. Really the reviews weren't kidding! Walked by someone with an iPhone 4 yesterday, and was surprised to see the relatively jerky menus compared to the WP7's. That put a nice cherry on top for me

[Q] Snap Unlock

Hi
I Wanted Any Solution For Free Sim Unlock Htc Snap Mpl120
Any Solution
Hi
@ first

Thanks Bro
I think there's no free sim unlock method, unless you call your provider and ask them the sim unlock number.

thats probably the only thing you cant get for free online. so many sites claim to do it for free but none of them do. however, your carrier might give it to you for free. for example, in canada, Wind Mobile gives it to you if you buy the phone out right, and use it for 3 months with them.

This may be only for UK owners but at w w w motorola.kondor.co.uk you can enter your IMEI and receive a free Shell, colour options available too. Servers are not up yet so tomorrow or Monday it should be good to go.
This will mean ive gotten 3 free cases in total
What do you mean 3? I know only of 2:
1) The one that came with the tesco version (i suppose you have that one)
2) This one
Could you tell me what is the third?
I got a free white cover from phones4u when buying mine, be nuce to get free shell as been in 2 minds on whether to get one - what's the catch other than giving out imei?
Edit: lpoks like just for new purchases :
Purchased between 24/12/13 and 26/02/14
Will give it go anyway!

Sorry should have mentioned i meant the black one too, i got a free pink case in the box and now this one too, the phone is my girfriends so shes over the moon, even though she might not use it much as she has the official flip case now, but you know girls they like to mix and match

I don't you should give them your IMEI... Unless kondor is a reputable site. It smells like a scam to me though.

Keep getting code you entered cannot be found after entering IMEI - will they have a list of which IMEI were sold when? Also mine is unlocked.
I'm getting IMEI not recognised too.
I bought mine locked to o2 cheaply off ebay, then unlocked it, my imei worked so maybe it's for o2 customers?
Went back on and entered my imei for a second time after placing an order and it doesn't stop me from ordering again which is a bit weird?

T Mobile still sell the priv or not?

Was wondering if T Mobile stocks this or not? I am aware it got pulled last summer , but thought it got put back again, cant see it on their website, would the stores sell it?
Just to answer my own question, no they dont sell it anymore. Thought pehaps by the off chance they might have some inventory via customer services which they didnt.
T-Mobile/EE Rom
Hello mate, fellow Limey Bastard here! I've got a Priv and am trying to find the EE or possible T-Mobile firmware for it (It shipped from Amazon sim-free) so that I can use WiFi calling, the signal where I live is sh*t... Don't suppose you know where I can find?
Many thanks,
Jamie

No worries, thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm getting a generic phone booster from China. What could possibly go wrong...
