Hi,
Is it possible to buy a sim free XDAIIi, which can be used outside UK.
I checked with the O2 shop in London, and they said they only sell it on with a plan, which means Sim locked.
If it is available in any country, i can have it bought.
It is still not available in Hong Kong and O2 Asia Pac says they have no clue when it will be launched.
Thanks for any advice.
Best regards
Khawar

Near the bottom.
Although it is sim free you will have to check with them if it is locked or not.

Topic basically asks the question, because I want there EXEC I think.
why not get a htc universal device from your local operator that provides it, as o2only ship if on o2contract, they don't do sim free, since o2 don't have american network, you only be aable to get a device offline from ebay or something.
or you could move to the uk, lol.
I got this from ebay that is advertised to unlock XDA EXEC and M5000. However I have not got the device to test it. Any want to try it, then here it is:
Please, give me some feedbacks, if you was sucessful, thanks.
Have a look here... It doesn't look very promising! If you bought it off ebay, get a refund from the scumbag who sold it to you

I bought this software from a different guy. The reason that I buy it, because I have read his buyer feedbacks and some feedbacks did say it works. Anyway, it's only 99p, why not have a try.
Why do you need a software to SIM unlock the XDA Exec? I've got two of them and none is SIM locked. I use one with an O2 SIM and another one with a Vodafone SIM.
Why do you buy it if you don't have the device?
Unlock Software Ebay
Hi,
I bought the same software and I can safely say it doesn't work on the SPV M5000. The people who have bought the software and have left Positive feedback are those with the XDA EXEC. Little do they know that O2 phone are already unlocked (Money Wasted!).
The software is off the WIKI website and is free, the lad on ebay is just out to make a quick buck.
At the moment the only way to Unlock the SPV M5000 is to ring orange and ask them to unlock it at a cost of £20. But it takes about 2 weeks to get the code. Got mine today and now it's unlocked running a ghost dual sim with Orange and O2 sim cards.
Enjoy all!

I am interesting to buy an O2 Exec from Ebay UK.Some of the devices are listed with O2 simlock and some others are listed as unlocked.I'm located in athens,Greece so the phone will be working under greek mobile carriers.I would like to know if i will buy a phone with O2 simlock if i will be able to unlock it(easy and free) and use my greek carrier's sim.
Sorry for my poor english
Kind regards from Athens
I can't fully answer your question, but I received my XDA Exec last Friday from O2 and it came already unlocked (I'm using an Orange SIM in it).
Can anyone else confirm theirs came unlocked?
I believe O2 charge around £20 to unlock their devices.
But will i be able to unlock the phone from Greece?
Sorry, I don't know, you'd have to ask O2.
But what I was trying to say is I don't think ANY XDA Exec comes locked and was hoping a few more people might be able to confirm.
That's what i also knew but then i saw this in ebay and now im confused. I need to be 100% sure that the phone must be unlocked or easily(and free if possible) unlocked.
Thanks for answering anyway.
I haven't heard of an XDA Exec that is locked yet to be honest. Also, i'd be a bit wary of buying off E-Bay. If the seller decides to change carriers you could theoretically be left with a dead phone if the contract isn't paid up.
The offers on there are tempting but I phoned 02 to get mine and they've given me 800 free minutes a month on a 12 month contract. I realise in Greece this is of no use to you but I mentioned it just in case and UK residents are looking at them.
Hi. I have just purchased a "brand new sim-free unbranded" HTC Desire, however, when I inserted my o2 sim card and switched the device on I got a message that a different sim card was being used. I also had to select between three carriers being o2 contract, o2 payasyougo and Tesco Mobile.
Basically, my question is how can I check that my device definitely is sim-free and unbranded and not previously locked to a network?
Sorry if I am being vague or not supplying enough information. I otherwise love the phone and still trying to figure it out haha.
Many thanks
Scott
Your phone is working so its unlocked and it was just setting up your gprs settings
Don't know why anyone would pay out for a sin free phone. Because almost all pda phones you can unlock for free and debrand them as well

Unlock for free!?
I'd love to know how you network unlock the Desire for free?!! I've failed miserably despite buying a code.
Hello, do any of you know how to tell if galaxy nexus is carrier branded in my case vodafone romania carrier branded? I play to buy GN from vodafone and I was told that the phones are only carrier locked but not carrier branded. I want to make sure they are not carrier branded, is there any way to tell??
I am worried that if it will be carried branded (and not as they say in the shop, carrier unbranded) I will not be able to have future OTA updates after google releases them, instead I will have to way for vodafone to brand the update and only after that I will have it on the phone. They said that they will unlock the phone for free as I will buy it contract free.
Ty in advance for the answer.
My Galaxy Nexus from Vodafone UK has no branding on it at all

Hi - got it this morning from Vodafone RO: I confirm it's not branded.
I got mine today from Vodafone Romania. Not branded, but carrier locked.
MIne too is vodafone locked Any chance to unlock it?
Vodafone will unlock it for you vodafone.ro/business/asistenta/telefoane-si-echipamente/service-si-reparatii/service-telefoane-vodafone/index.htm
I am waiting for mine to arrive. BTW which configuration is it YAKJU or YAKJUXW?
I got the phone yesterday from Vodafone RO and I also confirm that is locked on Vodafone but it's not branded.
FYI, the ppl at the shop told me that I can get it unlocked in any Vodafone shope for 50 € and I wont loose the warranty, also there is the option to unlock it at Samsung site and the warranty won't be lost this way. So you either pay Vodafone 50 € to unlock the phone or go to Samsung and unlock the phone for 15$. The process of unlocking is the same in both cases only Vodafone charges more and the wait time is a maximum of 2 weeks.
Ty all for the feedback...
