[Q] SIM unlock - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i will get a HTC ONE with swisscom SIM lock i guess. Is there already the possibility to do an unlock?
Want to use it with a German Provider.
Thanks,
Stephan.

Sorry to have to break it to ya, but sadly there is no way (atleast I haven't heard of any way) to unlock a simlock on the HTC One .. yet

Can't you just ask them to unlock it for you? Usually almost all network operators unlock devices when you have a proper reason. I myself use the excuse of having to travel on another country for them to unlock it for me.

Always. There's usually a fee but it is still usually cheaper to pay to have it unlocked than to pay extortionate roaming fees in Europe/wherever.

Tried 4 online sites but no one that i have tried has the unlock codes. I am on 3 UK and have to wait 30 days for them to do it. Not much use when I am going to San Francisco very soon.

instead of checking online try your local cellphone repair store

Thanks for your replies. I will ask the provider if it is possible to unlock the device .

SIM UNLOCK Treo 500v...

His there any software to sim unlock a treo 500v...?
I have the same question. The handset is locked to vodafone spain
Thanks and regards
The Treo 500v is not a HTC device.
doesn't really matter if it's HTC or not, this is a network issue.
call your service provider and tell them that you have to go out of country for a bit and you need to unlock your phone and they might just give you the code.

Yes it's locked. And there is a typo on the screen rejecting a different sim. Paid $25 and got an unlock code in 10 mins on day of launch last week.

thanks who did you buy one from ?
I'm using a giffgaff sim in my O2-locked HD7. I guess any MVNO using the O2 network would probably work - dunno who that might be though!!

also want to know if g2x can be unlocked if bought right now? can it be unlocked buying an unlock code from some site or something?
Same question. I bought an unlocked p990 and it's currently charging. Will it work perfectly fine on T-mobile or is there something special I need to do to it?

A quick google search shows that nobody is selling the g2x unlocked as of today. Of course that will change sooner rather than later. If you buy from tmobile and pay for the g2x in full, you can request a lock code from tmobile, who will give you the unlock code in 30-90 days i believe.

If it is unlocked, you should be able to pop in a tmobile sim card and use it on tmobile's 3.5g network. You shouldn't have to do anything special.

Instantly? I hope that it is true. That would be awesome I've never heard of any American cellphone company providing instant unlock codes, for people who pay full price upfront. There is almost always some kind of waiting period, usually taking several weeks.

I was told you had to wait because tmobile have to see you have kept your account in good order, as your paying upfront and have no account they should do it straight away....
Im getting mine sent from the states, so i hope they do it there and then, if not i may just have to purchase the LG 2X here
I buy unlock code for T-mobile LG G2x on ebay.com

Don't think the P990 supports T-Mobile US's 3G
can you not buy an unlocked version of the phone - must be places that are doing them sim-free
Don't think the O2X is locked at all, is it? My Vodafone.UK one isn't.

Does G2x supports Airtel(India) 3G bands?
After unlocking it from the code by T mobile....Will the G2x work on Airtel 3G bands in India?
How I can hand it in it nck?

[Q] HTC FREE Unlock Codes Calculator v2.2

Hi! is there anyone here who have a copy of the software? Unfortunately I cand donwload the file. Ive answered the surveys and yet no downlink is appearing on the page. www simlockcalculators.com/htc-free-unlock-codes-calculator
from the comments seems like working great. i want to sim unlock my htc for free.
lol, don't waste your time.....there's no coeds to be had for this, its predominantly locked to O2 or Vodafone, so cannot be Sim Unlocked. I've tried many times since this phone was released.
thanks. looks like no choice but to pay for it. are those paid codes via supplying your imei in the internet reliable?

Nope. You can't trust people now a days, don't risk it and waste your time.
i wouldn't even think about unlocking it. These days most people don't need to unlock them, last person i spoke to about unlocking my salsa didn't even know what it was let alone have software for them....
Internet unlocks will rip you off. I did it once on an old Nokia 5000, got the code...same as the free sites, didn't work. Couldn't get a refund either.....my advice is, want the phone sim unlocked, buy a phone on the network your on!
Problem is the fone is from a relative from abroad. Its lock to vodafone. The only carrier here in the philippines are globe, sun and smart. Thats why i need to unlock the fone. Its was recently given to me.

Options for Unlocking AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 GM-900A

Hey Everyone,
I need assistance with unlocking my smartphone; it's an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 GM-900A. I did a little research on the internet and it's my understanding that unlocking a Samsung smartphone linked with AT&T is a bit more difficult than it already is with other companies. I also saw a lot of sites that offer "unlocking" services for a certain price. Before I decide to do that, I wanted to know if there were any others options or which site is most reliable. From what I've seen and read, it seems that this forum is the best option for seeing if this is possible. Appreciate any assistance you guys can offer.
I am not familiar with unlock sites but have heard mixed reviews on them. Those sites can only unlock the sim card, not the boot loader. Just thought I would put that out there since you didn't specify what kind if unlock you were looking for. I recently submitted a sim unlock through AT&T for my s5 since I am out of contract.

Unfortunately, mine is still under contract but I would like to unlock my smartphone so it can be used with another carrier. This is the type of unlock service those sites are saying they can provide, right? I've also read and heard mixed reviews on the internet, which is why I came here in hopes that I can get additional info on this. Thanks for your prompt response.
Just use att they will unlock your sim

What's the difference between that and sim unlocking? Any disadvantages on just having the sim unlocked and not the bootloader?

Thank you. I checked it out and it doesn't seem to support "Galaxy S5 SM G900A"; the only thing close to that is "Galaxy S5 SM G900F". Appreciate it if you can suggest another site.

I'm unable to do so because the smartphone is still under contract.
Call ATT. New laws made all carriers be (generally) required to unlock their SIMS not bootloaders under some conditions. see link https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/cell-phone-unlocking-faqs
If u are under contract they will make u pay but u then meanwhile u can use another carrier. Here is a link to an unlock service. https://www.doctorsim.com/us-en/unlock-phone/samsung/
Good Luck!

They serve entirely different purposes. Sim chooses carrier (ATT,etc). Bootloader chooses what will be started when phone is booted ie system(rom), recovery(TWRP etc), bootloader itself. Bootloader unlock means changes can be made to what will start under different boot requests. No disadvantages to just unlocking sim, often used for foreign travel where your regular sim will not connect. Many times carrier will unlock SIM LATE in contract for foreign travel reasons.

Are you under contract via a next plan thru at&t? If you are planning to unlock to switch carriers I imagine you want to end service with at&t. If so they will want you to pay for the phone in full or return the phone. If you don't pay & keep the phone I'm pretty sure they blackball the imei so it can't be used by any carrier. So what's your end goal here?

Yes, I'm under a contract that has been suspended and told them that I am currently not able to pay but also am not able to get another phone due to financial reasons. They said they understood my situation but cannot unlock my phone due to the contract and that once I am able to pay, they will provide me the unlock code if I still want it or wish to continue using their services. I guess what my end goal is to not have to pay for another phone when I'll only use it for medical reasons and once I am financially stable, I can go ahead and pay and probably continue with AT&T. I see your point and understand the predicament I have. I'll just have to wait and see. . .

No problem. I just am trying to see if you'll end up paying to get it unlocked then have at&t block the phone from being used. Good luck.
