I think T-Mobile might have an exclusive on it for a little while. If anything you will have to see if another non-us carrier will be launching the device. I don't even think HTC has plans to launch one...not sure.

Hello, I am new here. I have been reading for days and days now, and I have come up with a question:
I have a brand new AT&T branded Tilt that I want to unlock. I found the Sim unlocker on the stickie. The question is this, AT&T has already provided me with the unlock code for my IMEI number, so if I just use their unlock code will it stay unlocked forever, even if I flash a new rom to the phone? Are there any benefits to using the XDA Sim unlocker versus the unlock code that AT&T provided to me?? Will I still be able to use the phone anywhere in the world with AT&T unlock code?
And what about those internet sites that claim to unlock your phone for a fee, do they work? Because a friend of mine wants to unlock as well, but is scared of the process found on XDA.
If the AT&T unlock code will work, how do I do it??
Thanks for any help.
Still reading!!

The Unlock Code that AT&T gave you should work fine. Once you do a SIM unlock it be will be unlocked forever.
Thanks for the help! What about the internet sites that you pay for the unlock codes, do they work??
How do I use the AT&T unlock code?
Sorry, but I didn't find any info on the wiki about that.
You put in a non AT&T sim card and it will ask you for a code. You enter a valid code and you are unlocked.
All the Unlocker does is find your unlock code due to a hack on the radio.
I wouldn't be suprised if some of these sites that sell unlocking actually wouldn't just sell the instructions available free on this site.
Its very easy for your friend to unlock his device. Just follow the instructions. Now, don't hold be liable but I'd say there is a 99% change of the hack working. I did it fine. Took me maybe 30 mins to read and then follow instructions.
No Worry, i did the same thing and works..
Call AT&T explain that you need to use oversea SIM at different country while you travel as for business. they will ask your IEMI code and email unlock code within 3 business day, i just get mine and work perfectly without worrying screw up the radio cracking method and $$$ free.
Great this was very helpful. I am hoping to purcahse a Tilt from At&t on my US account then use my China Mobile sim while I am living here in China. The reason I want the Tilt is for the Chinese language software Pleco. How has everyones experience been with the stylus and screen on the Tilt. Are there any other At&t based devices that I should look into or wait for?

I used the free SIM unlocker here and it works great. I like the Tilt, stylus works fine, my finger - not so much lol. I'm looking into getting the Fuze.
The TP2 is avaiable online today (09-11-09) and soon on the shelf. I would like to ask anyone who bought one to list their likes or dislikes (Pro's and Con's) about the device. This will aide some of us that have contracts expiring to decide what future device to purchase.
edit. Also can someone try the FM radio cab and see if the application works on the Verizion Phone. Instructions and CAB are here.

Sorry, I guess what I should have said is that when I log into my Verizon account, I don't see the Touch Pro2 as an available upgrade phone. I only see it available for new customers.
Supposed to have mine tomorrow morning before noon. Will spend the weekend running it throught it's paces.
How soon before we'll see HardSPL for these?!?! Already can't wait to put a custom ROM on it.
Overnighted will be here by noon tomorrow will let you know.
Just ordered mine this afternoon. They're overnighting it, so hopefully i'll get it by monday or tuesday.
Star Menu
The phone is super fast. I hope there is an update to 6.5 from HTC or Sprint. Is there anyway to use the SIM card from another service on there? Like over seas rather than paying Sprint an arm and leg. Humm. This could open some real options.

Vzn knows the TP2 is the hottest cell ever and they are worried they just wont have enough
Unlocking
I am looking at upgrading from my titan and I am confused about unlocking the new Verizon TP2. Is there a Hard SPL unlock available? If / when it is will that also unlock the SIM or is the SIM unlocking separate? Also my understanding is there are a couple of types of SIM unlock? Can some one point me to a good discussion of the different types? I have search but have not found some thing that clear talks about the type of unlock. I have read about the sim unlock that can be purchased and my understanding is that is different than the CDMA hardware unlock, (hard spl). If I do the CDMA unlock will unlock he sim card also, so that I will be able to put a prepaid sim in it? Basicly all of my question relate to can someone explain how the unlocking work in a phone with CDMA and GSM?
Thanks and confused

There currently isn't a Hard SPL unlock yet, but they're working on it. I don't want to wait either, but I'm at their mercy since I have no clue how to help build that.
As far as the SIM unlock goes, it is unlocked on the CDMA phones. However, it will only work on overseas due to FCC regulations. It would be nice if someone got it unlocked for US use, but I don't know if it will happen.

No CDMA Unlocker Yet...

Currently there is not Hard SPl Unlocker. There is a team still working on that. Not sure about the rest...
I just got mine at 8:30 this morning. So far so good. Took me a while to figure out how to get to Settings on the WM 6.1 interface but it's under the TF3D settings tab and left softkey "all settings"
I cannot figure out how to get rid of the "message sent" popup when you send a txt msg. The registry entry change for the original Touch Pro doesn't work on this to get rid of the popup. I also made the 2 registry changes to enable spelling suggestions.
Big thumbs up.
Except for one change I made now turned my fn ; and : to /\ which are also on the keys above it. Now I lack ;: on my hardware keyboard. hmm
I ordered mine yesterday 9/11/09 4:30PM PST and overnight it but when I check my order status it says order processed and will receive within 2-3 business day. Why? When I over night it. May be I ordered to late in the day. So, I should have it by Monday or Tuesday if not back ordered. Hope not. We will see.
Just ordered mine
wasn't showin on their website as an available upgrade phone for me yesterday, however it is today.

It's still not showing up as an available upgrade for me. I don't want to call it in either because I want to make sure I get the instant rebate and ne2 discount. I've been reading that some get it and some don't when they call it in..I think it's pretty ridiculous that verizon is only offering it for new activations on their website in my area. Very lame.
+1 for owners to install the FM cab.
If it has FM hardware you can tell by this very quickly, and it's something that I LOVE on my diamond right now!
Let us know!!!
Ordered mine from Verizon yesterday at 10:30am. Should be getting it on Monday. I will post my initial impressions Monday night.
Hello,
I am thinking of purchasing a used HTC Magic (Mytouch3g) form someone for 200. I live in the US, but Ido normally live in Asia. Can I unlock the Tmobile one to use elsewhere? (note. I do have Tmobile for now in the US, but I would like the option to switch). I used to have an HTC Touch diamond, so im not completely new at flashing. Anyways, will rooting and flashing allow me to switch networks?
Thanks
trev
No it wont. Flashing new roms has nothing to do with unlocking your phone.
than is there a way to unlock the phone?

Yes, some sites sell these unlock codes.
Look it up elsewhere, this is development forum.
Hello All...
I want to lend/give my AT&T unlocked Fuze to my friend to try, but he is on T-Moble network. How can I do this, if possible at all? Is there a stock T-Mobile ROM for the Fuze that will work on the at system?
Any help would be appreicated!
Thanks
ITAdmin
You need to purchase an unlock code for the phone. You can google it, or try looking for one on ebay. All you do is buy the code, follow instructions to entering it and then it will be fully functional (with EDGE speeds on any GSM carrier if not used with AT&T)
If already SIM unlocked just put the T-Mobile sim in and will work if not there is a thread for sim unlock in Touch Pro section, as previously stated the phone will not have 3G or HSDPA due to the band differences of the networks.
Ok,
I have the unlock code for the fuze from AT&T. My question is, do I leave the AT&T ROM on it or is there a T-Mobile ROM that I have to load? Will it work ok with the AT&T ROM or is it better to change it to a T-Mobile ROM if one exists?
That's my question...
Thanks

Won't make a difference the Radio will have more to do with functionality since reception may be differnt due to carrier.
So you are saying I should load a different radio?
Hi folks
I´m new in android and want to ask if it´s possible to use a AT&T Captivate in Europe (e.g. Germany) after unlock with e.g. vodafone?
Read some threads with rooting and flash I9000 ROMs but not shure if there is way to use this phone in our local (german) network with non att sim card without any problems
Is there a CAPTIVATE ROM available with correct settings to use OUTSIDE the US?
Sorry for my noobness....
As of right now AT&T will not hand out unlock codes to sim-unlock the handset, so you'd be unable to use it with a non-AT&T sim.

sure? saw some offered on ebay UNLOCKED so i guess there is a way outside att...
@all: any proved links to unlook or user that have experience with it?
There is a thread in captivate general about sim unlocking. The ebay sellers were not able to unlock the phones and only a few lucky ones have been able to get unlock codes out of at&t by complaining. There is some sort of turbo sim device a couple of them are using though.
