I was wondering if anyone might be able to offer direction as to how I might unlock my phone? I bought it straight out 18 months ago and only now have learned it would have been wiser to purchase an unlocked version in the first place! I am not sure if this is possible, but it would be great if anyone had time to offer direction/advice.

Telus Canada is CDMA - not GSM.
I am new to these dual tech phones - so will ask the question. Can CDMA phones be unlocked in the same way GSM's are ?
Thanks bill_in_mtl,
I guess that is my question then So, can the Telus CDMA be unlocked? IF so, how?

Hi, i friend gave an HTC Fuze (GSM) locked on AT&T.
will i be able to use it in europe if i unlock it?
there is some radio-flashing needed or it will just work with any european Sim after the unlocking process?
Sorry, this may seem a stupid question but i'm new to this world
also:
What is the best way(site) to unlock it? i've already looked into that and i know it is a service that needs to be payed off.
Thanks in advice
Ok, it worked, thanks anyway.
re: FUZE unlock for europe
AT&T unlocked mine for free. Just call and ask. I used my FUZE all over Europe and enjoyed very fast speeds from the local carriers there.
I need to know how to Unlock my HTC Touch pro 2 SPRINT U.S. I have looked EVERY ****ING WHERE, all I found was sites that you need to pay and get a IMEI Code to unlock it, does anyone know a legit site that I can trust or another way.
RELAX!!!!
First of all, relax! I believe foul language is not allowed here (I understand the feeling of being looking everywhere for something, it's frustating) if what you are looking for is to unlock it in order to be able to use with others carriers check this one out http://rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/ and if what you're trying to achieve is to unlock it to put custom roms on it then go to:

by the way, to get your imei try dialing *#06# that'll do the trick.
Hope that helps, peace and welcome to xda.
one thing I'd add, sprint is definitely cdma, so don't use the gsm link.

Ups! you´re totally right in fact I OWN a sprint tp2, so I know for sure that it is a world phone (basically cdma and gsm, but functions as a cdma when it comes to unlocking and flashing anything to it), I guess I tried to be too general so others (both gsm and cmda users) could benefit from my answer, but I totally forgot to advice him to go for the cdma link, thanks god you took the time to tell him, I hope he did his homework before jumping to any of those links.
Sprint TouchPro 2 CID GSM Unlock
ANybody knows anything about Olipro ? I have paid for touchpro2 cid gsm unlock service and no word from him yet, it's been couple weeks now.
I purchased a DG2 in hopes of unlocking for tmo or att in the usa. Does anyone know how to do this? I have allready unlocked it. It shows ATT and Tmo at the top when I view the lock screen. I have allready selected gsm and ATT as the network. Bought it for a friend and I am really frustrated. I personally use a vibrant and I am not new to development. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Should have done some research before buying the phone. As of now, there is no known method to make a D2G work on any US GSM carrier. There is one company that claims to have a hardware unlock method, but they don't offer it to the public yet, and their projected price is $100. They also require you to revert your phone to an older firmware, and the unlock removes all capabilities for updates. Not worth it at all, IMHO. Some people have suggested trying a turbo SIM, but nobody has posted an update about whether or not that actually works.
So, short answer: You can't make your phone work on ATT or TMO.
I'm in a bit of a situation. I live in Canada. I leave to the US and Poland in about 17 hours on a two month trip. I have spent the better part of two weeks trying to unlock my iPhone to no avail. I now need a phone. I have turned to my city's classified adds where there are several android phones for sale. My issue is this: I am fast approaching the point at which I will no longer be able to meet someone to buy a phone today, but I don't know what I need.
I am aware that the answer to my question is out there on the intersphere and forunets, but I'm not confident that I'll be confident enough to buy a $250 phone at the end of my research. Therefore, I'm turning to to forums to see if someone knowledgeable can quickly answer my questions so that I'll be able to run out and buy a phone right now.
The phones on the classifieds that I'm looking at are:
A Galaxy S2 on contract with Bell Mobility (Canada) - $350
A Galaxy S 4G factory unlocked - $280
An unlocked and rooted Nexus S - $300
HTC Desire broken proximity detector - $100
Nokia Lumia 710 - $200
HTC Wildfire S unlocked - $220
My questions:
Is the phone unlockable?
Will it work with a pre-paid SIM in the US? (which carriers, if known)
Will it work in Poland, France and Italy?
I'm computer savvy but sadly my knowledge is deficient in this area. If anyone can answer these questions, it would be much appreciated.
Get an unlocked phone
You said you need an unlocked one, You also said "A Galaxy S 4G factory unlocked - $280" why don't you just buy that then it will work with any sim, then just get an pay as you go sim with 3g for your trip?
Or if you want to unlock your iPhone, Jailbreak it then do this (youtube.com/watch?v=mB_L5gi94Cc) it might work.

My question is whether an 'unlocked' Galaxy S will work in both the US and Europe with a pay as you go SIM that I buy?
I would say yes it would, if it is unlocked, it should be unlocked to any network anywhere, i may be wrong, but i would think it should work for you
The S2 and the S should work, but I'll let others confirm that. I believe that both have Sim card slots.
