[Q] HTC One - Network unlock - EE/Orange UK - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I've just recently purchased a HTC One on PayAsyouGo. But I am currently on a Three contract.

Aren't PAYG/sim-free phones already unlocked to all networks? Where did you get it?

Have you tried your contract sim in it?
If you have and it doesn't work then you'll have to contact the original carrier for a sim unlock code

I'd try another SIM first, if it's not already you can buy unlock codes off eBay for about £3

I've already tried, I placed an orange sim, which worked fine, then after I tried a three sim car, which unfortunately asked for a network code.
Can you link me to a code on ebay.
Thanks.

No, the phone cannot be unlocked and used on another carrier.

Even if you unlocked the phone the radios AT&T use are not running on the same Frequencies that Verizon use.

I understood the devices being shipped to AT&T were to be SIM and Bootloader unlocked, particularly the 64GB Developer Edition; they are selling it for the same price as the HTC portal.

SIM Unlocking for free?

This may have been asked before but I'll ask again, is there no way of getting this phone SIM unlocked for free as of yet?
When i got my phone first thing I done was get it unlocked to all networks which cost me €20.81, I've had to leave my phone in for repairs after I borked it by formatting system and stupidly not having a nandroid backup, I've been informed that I'll just be getting a new handset but this is likely to be locked to o2 where i purchased the phone and im with Tesco Mobile so unless there is another method that's free that i have yet to come across then I'll have to pay again to get the phone unlocked, and that's not good.
When i had a Galaxy S3 I had an apk.called Galaxy SIM unlock which done the trick nicely, why isn't there something similar for this phone to save people from having to pay?

Given no responses im assuming there's no free method as of yet.
I have seen this on eBay, this guy has pretty good feedback and is cheap, can anyone vouch for this seller?

I have tried 5 places to get my phone unlocked but none of them have the code, some were saying try back in 2 weeks time and your code might show up on the server, got refunded straight away.
I think they all get them off HTC so the eBay unlock sellers seem to be the cheapest option.

Got mine from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unlock-an...ltDomain_3&hash=item257d441929#ht_1461wt_1163
Fast turnaround, and 100% seller feedback...used to unlock both my HTC One, and One X previously
You might have to wait a while if o2 are giving you a new phone as the unlock codes for they're new batch on HTC ones don't seem to be on the server where they get them from.

I'm delighted to say I'm in possession of a SIM unlocked One the bootloader is locked but I'd have expected that anyway and I can unlock that anytime but tried my Tesco Mobile and UK Giff Gaff SIMs and both are fine so that's good i don't have to shell out again.

Strange question, but are you absolutely sure that it's now unlocked? As giffgaff and Tesco mobile all run on the O2 network anyway, and will both work in O2 locked handsets. To be sure, I'd try inserting a Vodafone, 3 or EE SIM just to be sure.

The only SIM cards ive got are Tesco Mobile and Giff Gaff, well i have an o2 one too but i dont use that.
To be honest even if its not unlocked it's fine for me as they are the only 2 SIM's i use.

Lucky you, I have had no luck in nearly 3 websites 4 ebay members, Now I have stopped, everyone of them refunded immediately though!
It appears that I have to wait, there is no other option

Is the Sprint carrier unlocked?

Let me know
My All New One
No
Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk
You will have to call Sprint International Services and tell them you are traveling overseas and if you meet certain requirements they will unlock it. If not you will just have to wait for somebody to find a fix if you want it unlocked.
To the 2 ppl that replied (and anyone out there) did you tried popping an att/tmobile Sim and see if it works? the m7 came unlocked no?
I need to know like right now cuz about to order one thanks! !!

The M7 did not come unlocked. It was the same thing with that phone. You had to call to unlock it, internationally. It was them sim unlocked for all but you had to be rooted.

Anyone knows if the unlocker app ffpr the Sprint htc one m7 will work on the sprint HTC one m8?
Can someone try it please ? I want to buy a htc one m8 and sabré to know if the Sprint version is compatible with the 3g/4g from att? I dont care LTE
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
The sim unlock app on the play store stopped working after the m7 was updated to 4.4.2. This phone uses the same version of android so I very much doubt it would work.

I ended up using cell unlocker and it was quick and painless, and I had a working code in no time. (30 minutes maybe?). I would use them again.
Your carrier. They have to unlock the phone now if I'm not mistaken. Maybe you have to have an account with them for a month or so but I just called tmobile and they got me same day free
