Hey there guys. Please don't be angry for making another ****ty "how to unlock G1" thread. I wanted to post in the recent one, but i guess it got closed.
Well here is my question. I'm about to trade my TyTn II for G1. The problem is that the G1 is bought in Austria(T-Mobile) and i live in Slovenia. If i'm gonna call T-Mobile what should i say? My english isn't all that great, but i think i can handle it. The only problem is, if they are gonna speak German...
Lets say, they speak english. What should i say? I don't think you just say:" hey could you give me the code to unlock my G1?"
Maybe i'm a little annoying, but if there is anyone who is willing to help, i will be very grateful.

Think the policy is a lil different in other countries other than the US. We would normally say we are going out of the country so we need to unlock it to use an alternate sim. But in the UK they charge a fee unless you have been a customer for over a certain amount of time. I know its alot longer than the 90 days we have.
So there is no way to unlock it?
Edit: This is legit right? http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com/
Cause if there isn't other way i'll just pay those 19€. That isn't so expensive.

My advice is buy one off eBay. Reasoning being, any website like that can make all the fake testimonies they want, and you could get screwed very easily. If you go to ebay you can choose a seller with good feedback who is clearly legit. I think I got mine from GSMcredits or something...

Thanks for the advice! That really helped me. I went to search over Ebay and found some interesting offers. And they are actually cheaper then the site i gave you link before!
Anyway, i think this is 100% legit, since this seller is very popular.
Ebay G1 code for unlock seller
Is this gonna work on Europe G1, that was bought in Austria from T-Mobile(doh)?

Calling T-Mobile only works if you are a current customer. If you aren't (and I assume that is the case) then find someone who is to call for you.

As long as they give you the correct code it will work on any G1, so you should be fine. That seller looks legit, due to the high rating too.

Thanks for the answer! I'm getting my G1 on Monday then!
Yay. I got my white G1 today and i bought a code of ebay from the guy mentioned few posts above. Payed 10€ and got the code within 15min. Phone is now unlocked and i can't be more satisfied! G1 is awesome
Sweet, I had to unlock mine the first week cuz tmobile gets bad service here. The first site you posted is where I got my code, so they are legit. And don't worry about rooting and flashing roms because it wont mess up your unlocked status.

Cool. Thanks for the info!
Just thought I'd add that I've (just) used the guy mentioned above (ebay profile link) to have my UK G1 unlocked and it worked just fine.
The code came within 10 minutes, tested and works OK.
Cheers,
Smiffy.

Hey guys, i have a huge problem with my tilt, it is driving me crazy. My keyboard is acting crazy. When i press some keys it will give me a double key, like if i press i or o it will write io, and i know that they are close together and that mite be the problem but sometime if i press R it writes ri or ro, its really only with these 3 keys. I was wondering if anyone out there had this problem (funny i had this problem with the phone i had this replaced with the p990i) and how to solve it. i really hope its not a hardware problem cuz i bougth the damn phone from someone on ebay, brand new.
please help, i have the htc rom installed, sleuth 1.0. thanks guys, i appreciate it alot
I had the same problem. It is a bad keyboard membrane. You will need to replace the membrane or send it in for repair. I had att replace me.
great. i dont have att so that means that i will have to sent it to htc right?
damn i never get anything good on ebay (and i keep telling myself that it will be the last time i buy something from ebay). I mean the damn phone was new.
So can i contact htc and send it to them and will they replace it for free? cuz sure att isnt since i have no account with them.

If you bought it BRAND new, sure!! Forget the bull**** on HTC's website about proof of purchase. The Ebay receipt print off is good enough or your cred card statement for the purchase (erase the rest for anything else!!! ). Just as anywhere else, DON'T take no for an answer.
yeah, im not gonna get no for an answer for sure. i paid good money for this. I think i am gonna get my friend to send it to att so i can get a replacement right away, now i gotta flash it back to att crap rom and hope my friend is up to, i heard htc takes its time to get things done and that would mean no phone for 1 month. damn this sucks, thx for the support guys.

Found on a 'Bork'?? thread here.
do you by any chance have htc keyboard+keypad installed?
try uninstalling if you have it in there.
seriously? now peoples keyboards are F'ing up? damn.. what is next
I've already gone through so many I've lost count. Frys Electronics is getting tired of me coming into their store every other day with another problem on a new Tilt, lol
First it was the side scroll wheel, it didn't even work
Second was the usb port, it was so tight that when I went to take the usb charger off it, it pulled the usb port out some with it.
Third and most recent was a dead pixel and a slider that closed too far.
Do I just have bad luck? lol
dont have anything installed, just did a hard reset so no progs installed. it looks like its screwed up and how lucky it is exaclty the sam prob as my p990i (which i thought was software problem) but its not.
Is there anyway to distinguish a refurbished tilt? I came across this on Ebay and it got me wondernig... http://cgi.ebay.com/AT-T-Tilt-HTC-8...ryZ64355QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I bought mine off ebay "Brand new in box", but now im wondering if there was ever a way for me to really know. Does the H/W version or anything give it away?
yup, that one is a refurb.....the refurbished tilts come in a plain white box like the one shown in the picture. The new tilts come in more colorful box something like this
Hmm. . . I wouldn't know only buy if it came in a while box.

The Tilt you listed clearly states that the phone is a refurbished item.
"The winning bidder will get a HTC Tilt just as it came straight from AT&T....no add ons....the phone is still locked to AT&T network...This item is a refurbished unit, but you will not be able to tell, I have a refurbished one myself and when you get it, it looks BRAND NEW!!!"

Hi,
I do not wish to flash my phone with Hardspl etc!
I wish to use the sim unlock entry code to open my phone, via the official route.
The cheapest I have found is £15 at:

Does anybody know where I can get it cheaper?

Thanks for that Dave!
I was under the impression that the olinex unlock is based around reflashing my phone though!
I do not want to load any software and use my usb cable. I just want a sim unlock entry code.
Are you 100% sure this works the same way?

It works 100% in a different way. I didn't read your post properly, I missed the "code unlock only" part. Soz.

Just found another site that unlocks for £2.99
http://www.instantunlockcodes.co.uk/
This one may be hard to beat!
Seems like a fair price! So I will try this one out and post my findings on whether it was any good.

Just read their T's & C's and am bit worried they may not actually get me the code for £2.99 as my mobile is not listed in their compatibility database.
Think I still prefer my original link!
As no cheaper price added by any XDA users decided to go with www.fonesunlock.co.uk
Price paid was £15.71 71 pence charge was for Paypal payment charge. As soon as I had paid for the unlock code, I received the code at the bottom of my invoice. Put an O2 sim into my Orange Diamond and entered the unlock code a couple of times and hey presto it was unlocked. Due to the speed and efficiency of this service I would highly recommend it those not wishing to flash their phones, but still wanting to use any sim.
Anyone else had any good/ bad experiences with sim unlock?

I was hoping for a plethora of suggested sites to use!
Hopefully one at lower cost for an 8 digit number!
I cannot think of any reason why I should or would want to flash my phone.
Is there something in particular i am missing out on?
Hey friends. Actually, I'd like to have original HD2 extended battery. But, I'm in India and don't know how to get it here. And there aren't much choices available. However, after great efforts, I've found this: http://orders.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ImportHubViewItem&itemid=160516242013
Can anybody tell about it? Has anyone tried it?
Suggestions or methods to get original battery are most welcome.
Amazon has it cheaper and they ship worldwide

Actually, amazon.com has original HD2 extended battery too. But, its not ready to ship it in India. Try shipping address from India. If I am getting it wrong or there is any way to force ship it here, please tell me.

Call them on their tollfree no. once u make an online purchase...they can manually do it...1-866-216-1072
I still don't get it. How do I make the purchase in first place. It won't let me go past second step. And the number doesn't work, by the way!
Hi all.
Im curious how much is cost HTC One in swedish (I got brother there) so if it is cheaper then here i could maybe buy from sweden.
Also keep in mind phone should be "CARRIER FREE" and "SIM UNLOCKED"..
Thank you guys for all your help.
[I posted it here and not in Q&A because it is not question and problem directly related to phone]

Somewhere around 700 euros (6000SEK) but you will not be able to get it before May.
The Swedish shops will be selling at just a little under 6000 SEK.
Here's a simple guide for you for the future:
If you ever find yourself asking the question "Is X cheaper in Sweden" .. the answer is almost always no.
This is just one of the reasons why I'm buying from the UK.
