Pls help, need to unlock my MDA Pro.
nobody seems to have come up with a solution yet, im awaiting the same too
For the meantime, as I cannot afford to wait since I need a phone, you can call Tmobile customer services and ask them for an MDA Pro Unlock code, which they will provide for £15, you just need to tell them your IMEI.
Lucky you!!
Just to help you understand how lucky you are:i own a sequel of qtek universal called QTEK v1640 by Vodaphone's partner network in France, SFR.
The phone is simlocked and if you want it unlocked you have either to wait until you possess the pda for 6 months and get teh code delivered to you free of charge, or shell out 114 euros and get the phone theoretically unlocked at once with an imei unlockung code.
That's what is said to happen, except when SFR tells you that the phone you are willing to unlock is not in their suppliers list, that their supplier asks you three times in arow for the imei to check it against his list; and still doesn't find your phones imei; Except also when witha phone branded to their networks name, sfr tells you that the phone wasn't supplied in apcking displaying all sfr trademarks, with a graphic interface chosen and locked by them, with stickers in the batterycompartment showing sfr and finally the sfr product id for this phone.
Now you see how badly i need a unlock tool for my Qtek9000 sequel .
Please focus on this tools as i need badly to unlock this phone at once.
Just to show you how lucky you are;

Get Creative
I think you should all be aware that very few operators actually currently possess IMEI unlock codes for the HTC Universal in their databases and will in most cases have to ask the factory in Taiwan for the code. All I can say is get creative....use the customer service number of an operator in another country and see if you can get your phone unlocked....I had mine unlocked for free within 24 hours. :wink:
yo yo still waiting to unlock my mda pro
because i want to use my vodafone
and in the meanwile i just wait
cause there must be someone to make a upgrade

Hi fslunatic,
can you tell us which operator and country we should try and especially what to tell the customer service. I guess somebody with Orange subscription will have problems to contact i.e O2. :?:
Thanks for your feedback.
yes I unlocked mine
Called T-mobile. Assistant did not know what I was aking. Asked a supervisor and then went thtough process from her training manual.
COst GBP 15 quid. and unlock code was recieved through the post.
No hassle
Hi MCT,
If you have an Orange phone then call Orange...if it's Vodafone than Vodafone. Some work cross-country some don't. Just tried to help someone here unlock with Vodafone but no joy. I have had succes with T-Mobile....cross-border. Sometimes it also depends on how helpful the person on the other end is. The best punchline to give them is to make sure they understand that they have nothing to lose by giving you the unlock code....that without the code you cannot even select their network to make sure they get revenue from your call.
Good luck!

I Ordered MDAIII from T-Mobile , I didnt get yet but can some one help me with unlocking this phone . Is it posible to unlock this phone to use other GSM Networks. Will unlocking of extended ROM do the trick which I found in some other topic in this forum .
10x in advanced
Should come unlocked but it will be in German.
I got the MDAIII on T-Mobile in the UK and had to pay £15 for them to give me an unlock code.
AAARGGHHHH! - Unlocking T-Mobile (UK) MDA III Sim
Bought this device earlier this month. Can anyone help provide the unlocking sequence cause T-Mobile certainly can't! They say they can provide the unlocking code (eventually) but not the sequence, and to get it I have to contact the device manufacturer! I`m travelling to the USA in 1 weeks time and want to use a T-Mobile USA SIM card whilst there. :x
What do you mean by sequence.
T-Mobile gave me an unlock code - I put my O2 SIM card into the MDAIII and it asked for the unlock code - I entered it. It is now unlocked and works with my O2 SIM
Hmmm, never having unlocked a SIM card before I am going by T-Mobile's advice that there is a specific sequence of key stroke entries that need to be followed before I get to the screen that asks for the code. From what you say it might be no more difficult than taking out the UK SIM card, replacing it with the USA SIM card, a screen appears asking for the unlock code which I enter, and hey presto - job done!
Have I read this right? Is this all you do?
Yes, you are right. It is as simple as that.
MDAIII unlock code availability
Who or where at T-Mobile UK can a SIM unlock code be purchased for 15 pounds? I just got my MDAIII from the Oxford Street retail store but need to use it in areas overseas without T-Mobile service.
Thanks...
I telephoned CS and they gave me the unlock code
italian Rom for xda III
Has anyone an italian rom for XDA III?

O2 XDA2s lock
I got my xda2s a week ago and when i called O2 they told me that there is no way i can unlock my phone before the 12month contract ends!
That is really annoying,but they told me its part of my contract agreement!(which i haven't seen mentioned anywhere...)
I need to use it in another network over the christmas, so if there is any other way i can get this unlock code you are talking about, or any software that takes away the lock PLEASE share it.
I really appreciate it.
George
It may be worth ring O2 again. It seems to me that it's the luck of the draw whether you get someone in customer services who
a. gives you the unlock code immediately
b. charges you for an unlock code and unlocks it immediately
c. tells you it can't be done until the end of the first 12 months of your contract.
T Mobile Unlocking
I recieved my MDA III Yesterday :lol:
I phoned T mobile straight away on 150 (from the handset) they were very helpful and told me they are happy to unlock it :lol: :lol:
but I had to have the contract for 1 month
only 30 days to go :wink:

Which customer service number you have called?
How can you tell them to unlock the phone? (I hv Voda Sim? I go overseas?)
Thanks a lot indeed
I'm glad you got it sorted georkal.
It's always been like this with O2, I wonder what there 'official' policy is supposed to be? Everyone who calls them seems to get a different answer.
o2 - no help at all!
Hi there,
I have tried O2 a number of times, and each time I come across the same problem - if you aren't an 02 customer, then no unblock for you.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get this thing unblocked?
Tony
Phone your own provider. I'm on T-Mobile and had to pay £15 to get it unlocked.
I spoke to O2 Cust Service 202 many times......
(1)bring it to shop they will unlock for ya
(2)impossible
(3)not until 12 months later
Keep calling - 02 will give the unlock eventually.
I just told them that I was travelling to the US and wanted to connect to a different network while I was there. My unlock code is in the post right now - can't wait!

I called 100 from the phone.
I had the same answers as well (21days/shop/not after12 months)
I called again and said I was going abroad and needed to use a local SIM card, he put me on hold for 5 minutes and then said it would be unlocked in 24 hours. Price 15£.
I'm not sure what will happen in 24 hours as, from what I am reading here, it is a lock on the phone not the network, Right? I should have asked him to give me the code over the phone?
I'll call him again tomorrow to see what's up.
02 XDA2s
was you given a unlock code for your unique device ?
or was it just working when they said it sjould be unlocked now
the reason i ask is 99% of customer service no nothing
Thanks

Same problem here, waited for 24 hours but nothing comes out, couldn't reach back the one who i've spoken to, even I've got her name, extention no., place of call center...really don't know hows the O2 CS working...Everyone gives me different answer.
i know its a big place but if you gave them your phone number it should be logged on the system.
Next time you call ask for a call ref
then they have to log the cal properly
i some times think that O2 CS dontdo there job as good as they sould do
Hope this helps

I called them again. Indeed they screwed up, They now told me that my request was logged but that it would take 21 days for them to retreive the unlock code out of the system.
The 24 hours timescale they gave me was to make sure that international calls were not barred on my SIM card.
I'm leaving for australia tonight unfortunately.

I haven't bothered with the stuff on www.imei-check.com. I'm with T-Mobile USA, so I just called the customer care line and simply asked for my SIM unlock code. They gave it up for FREE. I don't know how BT works, but you could attempt to speak with one of their customer service reps.

Basically, it makes it possible for you to use other GSM carriers with your Dash. For instance, you can use an AT&T SIM card in your Dash and have their service should you choose to leave T-Mobile.
It benefits you if you decided to leave T-Mo for some reason or if you decided to go overseas and didn't want to be charged outlandish prices for coverage.
EDIT: To actually enter the code, you'll need to change your SIM card out for another from a different carrier. Once you do this, your phone will prompt you to enter the code.

hi mate, i have the bt s620 also, and have just unlocked 2 of mine with no probs, admittedly i paid for the unlock i think it was about 9 quid.
and worked both times perfectly.
its an ebay seller.
i dont want to break any rules by posting the link but if you want to PM me i will gladly give you his details, i got both unlock links from him within a couple of hours too.
u can try t-mobile.. and tell them..
ok deleted link cause i paid for it and it was a report on how to do it promptly got my money back after threatening to come round lol
All I can say, Try it out for yourself and post the result. If it works out, I hope it does then leave some feedback for others. Oh by the way, that's pretty darn cheap so give it a shot, you don't got too much to lose
Just to know....
Here in Brazil we can't receive unlock code, from our carries, unless we stay in that carrier for at least 1yr (18 months in some cases) or pays somethink like 2 times the real cost of the phone (and receive a pre-paid sim card). Even if you stays in it for this time, carries try to charge for this code (US$ 150 in some carries).
That's because we, here in Brasil, search for free sim unlock!
Then I ask: no way for free unlock, right ?
Thanks and sorry for my english...
occurs in Peru as in brazil, you have q 2 years minimum contract, to complete the same not unlock the phone you have to keep using the same carrier. why we need to unlock the phone, thanks
If you want to use a differen't carrier's SIM, the phone needs to be unlocked. AT&T does it for free if you're subscribed to their services, T-Mobile you have to be a member for 6 months. How to unlock, ask your carrier when you get the unlock code. With most it's simple, you insert a differen't carrier's sim card, hit "Unlock" when it shows invalid sim, and enter the code. Simple as that.
help
I went to the unlock site, paid my money, got the files, loaded everything, and now the phone just says searching. Nothing else. If I put the original Vodafone sim in, it works, but with 02 it just says searching.
Any ideas,
Vic

For you and all people here knows: In Brazil (and in Peru, as ****man said) we don't have AT&T!!!!!!
And our carries don't give us the unlock code, unless we pay much for that. Even if we stayed with 1 or 2 year contract!!!!!!!
And that's why we need a free unlock method!!!!!!!
So don't say to us to get unlock code from our carries, they don't give it to us.

I need to unlock a UK HTC S620, its locked to the BT netowr here in the UK
Thanks for the help
Unlock for applications you mean? I.e to run a custom ROM. Or unlock it from the network so you can use it with another mobile provider?
You can certainly unlock it for applications. Unlocking it from BT may be more difficult.

JockyW, has just sim unlocked an eBay UK BT S620 today for me, very fast and reasonable service, see his thread.
I tried to get BT to do it, at first they told me I needed the original phone number, so I got that from the seller, then they said the original account holder had to apply, so I gave up and paid JockyW, he checks that he can do the unlock before asking for payment and gives instructions.
Don't upgrade to WM6.5 before doing the unlock.

Are you sure that it's locked?
I bought my Desire from 3 and it's happily working with an o2 sim in it.
I got mine from 3 as well, and it's not locked
Hi everyone, i come from Hong Kong,
my friend in UK brought me a desire form Virgin, but it is locked by this network!
I want buy an unlock sim code from the web in UK; however, i don't know which company is reliable and reasonable..........can anyone help me......quite urgent
I have just bought a Desire which is branded Virgin Media from Cex in the UK and it is unlocked.
I have tried a three sim in it and it accepts the card and makes calls (called customer services) but I did not try to go on the web with it as I had no credit.
I am informed that it will not go on the web using a three sim, can anyone confirm this?
I have a Virgin 3G sim in at present and it is working well on the web.
i have retracted my statement since it was a error. the first email did not get throught to me. but the second one did after i made a paypal dispute they replied in less than 2hrs and even sent me a personal message via modaco excellent service apart from the technical error.
i do reccomend HTCSIMUNLOCK.com it worked out £13.77ish

How about unlock-htc.com ?
Re unlocking phones.
The easiest, most reliable way to unlock a phone is to contact your service supplier and request an unlock code from them.
I have done this with Orange, T-Mobile and Virgin and it works and is 100% reliable.
DO NOT USE HTCCODE - the guy is a crook.
This is an excellent service though:
