Hi, is it possible to get the MDA Compact on Pay As You Go in the UK? and how much does it cost?
I say this because it would be a lot cheapr to buy it on PAYG instead of sim-free
Thanks in advance
just one fact: you can unlock your Compact with a xda-dev tool.

Hallo Everybody,
is it possible to remove the Sim Lock from the MDA Compact I?
Thanks
Andy
No, i dont think it is, the only way to do it is probably to pay someone £5 lolz
I did it on my MDA Compact...
look here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=240784
Hi folks,
A friend of mine is buying my old T-Mobile MDA Compact off me, he's on O2 PAYG and I'm looking to convert the phone to be as much like the O2 XDA equivelant as posible to avoid network issues.
Firstly, What is the O2 XDA equivelant of the MDA Compact officially known as? I've heard it's the XDA mini, but not sure.
1. Can I install/use an O2 XDA mini ROM (or updated one) to setup the phone for use on O2? I'm assuming the ROM is the only software differance between an XDA mini and MDA Compact.
2. Will this also change the radio stack, allowing the phone to accept an O2 sim card or will i need to apply a seperate unclock tool?
Where can I find O2 XDA mini ROMs? and if needed an unlock tool?
I'm hoping its as simple as just installing an O2 ROM but I'm preparing myself for the worst.
Any help and advice gratly appreciated,
Mike
Mike,
I actually did this about 6 months ago before I left the UK.
My MDA Compact was working fine on an O2 PAYG SIM card with the original T-mobile ROM on the device (I tried it also with the upgrades that were available on the website, though I don't think there are any left online now). All I did was unlock the device to allow it to accept the O2 SIM card.
I got a little bored of looking at the T-mobile bits of the ROM after a while, so I changed the ROM to the generic HTC version. This also worked fine, as it is designed to be universally compatable anyways.
I don't have the file anymore, but the unlock program I used I got off the XDA Developers drive, and I think that it was called xdadev.unlock, though I am not sure.
Hope this helps.
Be sure you are confident in what you are doing before you attempt any of the above, becqause there may be compications in any of the suggestions that I have made.
As a proud owner of the unlocked Nokia E-61 PRE-softbank X01NT (end of March).
I would like to start this thread to share information and assistance with other users.
I have a Softbank phone (new line) and use the USIM card at times in the Nokia E61 and it works fine. (remember mine is unlocked and bought direct from Nokia Japan)
Bilingual and so much to learn and share about this model.
Cheers!
when and where?
Can you give me some more details if you have them on when this phone will go onsale in Japan (by softbank). Also where did you buy and unlocked one (nokia shop or online?) how much was it? How locked do you think the softbank version will be?
any other advice?
i plan to switch from docomo to softbank this month and am wondering if i should wait for this phone.
Nokia unlocked E61
I bought my unlocked bilingual NOKIA from the NOKIA shop in Aoyama.
Use my SIM card from Softbank and no problemo!
Internet, phone -- it is all there and no headaches of the X01HT bs.
I still use my softbank phone when i want but can just pop the SIM card out and into my Nokia E61.
I was very surprised to see that Softbank is not selling the E61 like they said they would.
I really like the Nokia model and totally bilingual!

hi everyone,can anybody help in my quest to unlock my htc wildfire,its locked to vodafone am havin problems gettin hold of unlock codes!!would be most grateful for any help,thanks.
I thought Vodafone unlocked phones for free or is it an unlock code issue?
I would go into voda and ask if they unlock for free cause i had (take that into effect) Had a vodafone mobile and they did have a website to unlock...
I've had alot of problems unlocking my HTC Wildfire on vodafone, wish I had just paid the extra to get a sim free one.
I had problems with alot of websites, not refunding money.
I'm currently waiting on HTCCODE to supply mine.
Ive spoken to customer support and they have the code for my mobile, but it cost a little more, but tbh if/when I get it, i'll be glad, vodafone are a crap company and I wish I had never given them my money.
They won't do it for free, if you are on Paygo, if you are contract, it should be unlocked or its free unlocking otherwise there's an "admin" charge of like 20 pounds, but i'd rather pay 23pounds to another website, rather than give vodafone any more of my money..
Good luck.
Thanks for sharing...............................
Its possible to unlock your HTC mobile using the codes.There are many providers offer this unlocking service. If you wanna code, get it from your network provider.
Once you get the code, you may follow the instructions from http://www.mobileunlockguide.com/ .It helps to unlock your htc mobile easily.
Hi all,
Looking for a cheap method to unlock a Z3. The phone is locked to O2 network and since I had bought it on Gumtree I can't request the unlock directly from O2. I found a few places online but they charge $30 the least.
Have O2 actually told you that they will not unlock? As I got my Z1 unlocked by them for free and I got that second hand from CEX. Just used O2's online system and got an email from them after a couple of days. (I believe you do have to be an O2 customer though)
If your in contract with O2 regardless of the phone they will unlock it free of its a o2 phone
Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app
I got a z3 on o2 contract via mobiles.co.uk and I have no sim lock or branding?
Thanks everyone for the replies. In the end I asked a friend who is on O2 to request the unlock and the phone is now unlocked.

Good to hear that - also, I'm a bit surprised that they refused to do it in the first place. European law states that they absolutely have to do it after 30 days - I don't think that the fact who is requesting it matters.
