Are you certain that it will be carrier locked in the first place? I've used cellunlocker before with no issues.

I meant as unlocking the phone mate so I can use any sim, normally cost around £10-£20. I didn't actually mean buying the phone sim free

Thanks
Anyone?
The phone only came out in most places today friend. Give it a couple of days to see what the devs cook up

Well my Mrs is getting her upgrade tomorrow (HTC One X), but I'm guessing its going to come locked to ORANGE UK network.. I'm in THREE UK network.. So my Sim card wont work in it... right?
I need to try & get it unlocked to all networks... or I'll just have to sell it.

They don't always come unlocked in the UK most carriers sim block it to their networks. Some don't some do.

You need to call T-Mobile and tell them you are going to Europe-town and ask for an unlock code

That's an HTC thing of rooting and getting sim unlock at the same time. Rooting this will only root.

The last few time I've called tmo for my phones and my friends', it takes less than 24 hrs for them tk send it. You can request one unlock code every 90 days.

Why would you need more than one unlock code?
Does the phone re-lock after a while?
I'm kinda surprised with all the stuff that goes on here that SIM unlocking can't be done without calling t-mobile or buying from ebay.

Unlocked phones are easier to sale. I don't keep my phone more than 6 months. Plus when I get the warranty or insurance replacement phones, I need to unlock those.

+1 please. I would like to have that discount. So far the best deal I have been able to get is 7.50USD.
yeah i paid 15$ ....i needed it quick but still ..i called Rogers and they were asking me 50$
Also i was wondering how you guys entered the unlock code ...
Did you put the not supported sim and then entered the code?
or
Entered the code through typing a code ..then the unlock code...
thx

They provide the quickest service, but cellunlock is the cheapest if you don't provide a video to cellunlocker.
Cellunlock did it for 7.50, but I had to wait about 3 days for the code. Google "cellunlock discount codes" and you'll find one to give you 50% off.
And for our phones, you need a SIM card from a locked-out carrier to prompt code entry.

Thanks for the info. I had a couple of S III's to unlock and cellphoneunlock came through for $7.50 a handset. Code came via email a couple of hours later.
I tried cellunlocker.net and the code they gave me didn't work so after that I just took it in to a cell repair guy and he unlocked it for me for 20 bucks

That is too bad, were you using the correct method? The only way to input the code is to have another carrier's SIM card for NA phones. At least you were able to get it all unlocked now.

[q] unlocking galaxy note ii

Hey guys, i've been offered a Galaxy Note II for just 450 USD ( 25,000 INR or 345 EUROS). And the reason it is selling for this cheap is because its locked to Sprint Operator,and apparently the owner is a 'Total NOOB' , and doesn't know what to do with it since we are both here in Africa (Ghana). What i wanna ask is that, is there a SURE way to get this bad boy running unlocked without too much hassle? So i can just snap it up! Its still very new and in its box. Thanks for your replies... :laugh:
It's cdma, not gsm. No good for Africa friend.

Unlocked model discount code

Is the $100 off just got preorders? Or will this code still be valid once it's released?

Right now it is advertised for just preorders. Who knows if they will extend it but I wouldn't count on it.
Don't know but right now you don't even need the code as you get 100$ off automatically.

Decided it wasn't worth waiting to find out, so just went ahead and ordered. I'm too excited for this one lol
