Hello,
So I have Nokia Lumia 520 in my drawer for a year now and decided to do something with it maybe use it for something or sell it because phone is new. But the problem is that it is locked on O2 network UK. Since its been some time from its release maybe there is a ways of unlocking it for free? If no then maybe can someone offer good and cheap service where can I buy the unlock code.
Thank you.

you can not unlock using C:/DPP/NOKIA/simlock due file encryption.... For now there is no public solution for sim unlocking
Can you offer a site where can I get unlock code for a good price?

If you want to pay for unlocking , I do not recommend internet... maybe you should go to a local phone service to get unlocked.
Or why not just ask your mobile operator for unlocking? After some time, some mobile operators do unlock phone for free if they are requested

Thing is I bought this phone in the UK then I moved to other country.
So not sure that can I still get unlock code from O2 since the phone is not even in the UK.

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.

Where and Who????
Ok since i didnt see any thread with a valid explanation im asking is there a way i can unlock it for all networks.The current rom is the official croatia vip.I don't plan to buy a code and dont tell me that it's unlocked wich in this case is not.Could the europe official rom work,since it's as you say unlocked.Should i replace the vip rom with a europe one?And would that require rooting?
Ive flashed a few htc's so im not a complete noob.Please help as soon as possible ,because im traveling the day after tomorow and i dont have a replacment phone.
You can't unlock a phone with a ROM
You need either a code or program to unlock it, and I dont think there are any out yet.
But the codes are on ebay, here in the uk they are 5 pound
Well that sucks.How is that possible?I thought almost all android phones are sim free
No not at all if you are buying a branded phone normally they are lock on to that network, I would check next time you purchase a phone.

Can the unlocking be reverted with the same code, or once you unlock it there is no way back? Asking because of the warranty, though I am not sure if its checked in the service.
Unlock by imei, dosent void the warranty,

Bump!
What is current situation with free unlocking optimus 2x?
Only code, or is there some app's like for some htc phones?
I guess there is no need for free unlocking with programs and other stuff. on ebay unlock code is about 1.5 usd. no need to use an effort and to risk of usage of a program which may damage the phone..

I tried to unlock via code but did it wrong and exceeded the 5 attempts to resolve this situation be necessary I paid
When I dial code: 2945#*990#,
The information that appears, and then the following:
This Phone is permanently
locked and can not be unlocked
Code not working for Telcel MX
Hi, I tried to use the code 2945#*990# for my locked Optimus 2x P990 but no menu pops up to enter an unlock code. The carrier is Telcel in Mexico. Is there another way for getting this menu? I tried using the original sim card, one from movistar and using no sim card at all having the same results.
Thank you in advance.
Regards!

You will need to add apn settings for your service provider. This can be done in the settings menu under wireless and networks then mobile network settings. Add a new apn using the settings you can usually find on your cellular service providers website.
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 .
Need Help unlocking my USA T-mobile lumia 925. after purchasing the phone months ago in the US with no luck getting the unlock codes from tmobile because I'm not a customer I still cant find any other way to unlock the phone as I have left the country. I tried 3rd party services online like cellunlocker.net and others but still had no luck in unlocking since most of them pay through paypal which is currently not available in my country in Africa. Need help Please :crying::crying::crying:

I'm in the same boat. After searching just about everywhere, I find it funny how its this difficult to unlock this Lumia 925 from T mobile. What seems to be the reason can someone please shed some light. Will flashing it somehow unlock it? Someone must know. Thanks.
Code is the only possible way at the moment, and probably will be for a long time.
I'd continue to pester T-Mobile or try to get help from someone who can.
Flashing any device will not unlock it unfortunately. I flashed my ATT 920 with the French ROM and it only added some ATT-removed features, no SIM unlock.
Hi guys,
I have a Nokia Lumia 635 (Windows 8.1), locked on Orange Romania. Is there a way to unlock it for free so I can use it on other networks?
I read a lot of "unlocking methods", "unlocking calculators", "unlocking whatever", in fact fakes to get money from you and I don't want to pay, I want to do it myself.
Any advice will be highly appreciated, thanks!

I see we're in the same difficult situation my friend.
Namely, I have a Lumia 625 which is locked to Slovenian operator (I don't exactly know which one).
Nevertheless, I would also like to unlock it myself (with a little help from more experienced members) to save the money and get a good feeling like 'yeah man I did it myself'
So, if anyone can help, now is the rigt time to speak up
There is no other way, only your operator can do it.

Wow, thanks a lot, you ruined all my hopes in one sentence - pretty cruel move
Anyway, I can't go to operator because i'm in Serbia, and the phone is locked to Slovenian operator. So, what now, should I plan a trip to Slovenia or something?

for Slovenia (or any EU country) if you want operator unlock your device, you must proof of purchase to free unlock device...
for your case, best solution is pay for unlock code...

Yes, that would be jus' dandy, if only I haven't bought this phone for 30 euros, from some guy I barely knew. That is the main reason why I am trying to do this free of charge, 'cause the unlock code would cost me more then the freakin' phone.. -.-
So, both of your suggestions are out, if someone has some other idea, it will be appreciated
if you get any proof of purchase from previous owner, you can online ask operator for unlock code but seems you not get any proof....
thats all, no other idea, no free unlocks... buy unlock code or sold phone...

Thanks mate, but I believe there must be a way. I'm not that bad at programming, so I'll play around and try to come up with something. Someone's gonna crack it sooner or later, and I don't mind it being me
"NOTE: I found out that my carrier is actually not from Slovenia, rather from Austria. It was called Mobilkom, and now it is A1 Telekom Austria. If someone can get me unlocked with this carrier, it would be a kick-ass situation

you can search XDA and whole internet but no free way to unlock WP phone...
people who buy used WP device must be very careful to check SIM lock status and reset protection status...

Ok, I checked reset status and it is OFF. One less thing to worry about.
I know it's hard to stumble upon, but I heard of some people at underground forums (unlike this one), which can give you code if they're in the mood
And it sounds quite impossible to me, that no one on the whole internet hasn't come up with a solution for this problem. It would be quite devastating.
unlock for sure
