If you are not a current T-mobile customer you will have to find a site/place that does phone unlocking. This will usually cost money. They will provide you with an unlock code.

Dash 3g, how to SIM unlock?

can you please tell me how to SIM unlock this phone?
any free option?
thanks!

anyone? Please...or a cheap system

Im looking to. There isn't a free option.

free option
if you've had your account for more than 30 days you can call tech support and tell them youre going out of the country and need the unlock code for your phone and theyll send/give you the info free of charge...at least thats how it works for tmobile..you can call your service provider and ask if there is an option to unlock your phone since youre leaving the country for a few days.

unlocking dash or htc

[Q] unlocking new htc wildfire from vodafone

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...............................

[Q] Need Quick Answer Sim Unlock

I am about to buy an unwanted contract upgrade Z3 but it is locked to another network. If I unlock it would this mean the bootloader is unlocked or not?
I do not want to loose the DRM protected camera features and the sellers network is refusing to give him the unlock code until he has had the phone for 6 (!) months.

The SIM unlock code will not touch the bootloader so your DRM keys will still be intact.

And using one of the paid unlock code services online is possible with the Z3?
I was under the impression that newer phones could not be unlocked this way and had to be rooted.

Root has nothing to do with SIM lock.

Usually the code works the same way whether it is obtained from the operator or a separate online service. However there is normally a delay from when the device is released and when unlock codes from online services become available. So I cannot say if they have them available for the Z3 yet.
As long as you use one of the reputable online services you should be fine as they will only advertise it if it is available.

You can use SIM unlock codes on network locked phones straight from the shop - so no rooting or anything needs to be involved. You just insert a different SIM, then an option should come up to insert the SIM unlock code.
It gets more difficult to find exploits for rooting newer phones without unlocking the bootloader. But that is a separate issue.
Hope that helps.

You are confusing two different things.
If your phone is SIM locked, you'll only be able to use it under whatever company's network it is locked to. It doesn't make a difference whether it's rooted or not or whether the bootloader is unlocked or not.
You can probably unlock the SIM lock through a paid service (IMEI unlocking) although with newer phones is a little harder to find a service that will do it.
Look at several unlocking services (there are many online) to see if they can unlock that phone before you make the purchase.

Brilliant. Thanks for the help!

Anyone care to recommend a good online service to use?

The carrier will do it for free usually. Find someone who currently has a subscription

They said it would be 21 days before they would release the code for some reason. I've used a paid online service although even they ae saying 7 days.

Real delivery time for Sony codes from 3rd party service is 3-7 days. These 3rd party unlock codes come from manufacturer (Sony) and they support all Sony models. No matter if the model is just released etc. If you are using good supplier with history and your phone has at least 2 attempts left to type unlock code (is not hard locked) it's very safe process. Good luck.

Not asking for code
I have a brand new Z3 locked to T-Mobile.
When I insert my own sim, it does'nt ask for unlock code. It also says at the top of the notification bar that the phone is network locked and I can only make emergency calls.
Can you please help me on how to get the phone to ask for an unlock code so that I can enter one and unlock the phone.
Thank you.

Device unlock apk.
Do you have that in your app drawer?.
If you don't go look in the mods n apps section I just posted a link to the app you need. There is no way to make the t-mobile D6616 ask for an unlock code. At least no way I found. T-mobile r jerks.

Here's the link

Dear imprezif,
I have the app and tried getting an unlock done through it. I get the message this device is not eligible for unlock, contact T-Mobile for device unlock eligibility.
You are right about T-Mobile though!
Thank you for your response and I will keep trying...

Work this app on z3 compact? ther is something like that for z3 compact? thanks for help...

[Q] Reliable network unlock service?

Hi,
Just picked up a locked O2-UK version on Pay and Go as it was £50 cheaper than everywhere else.
Does anyone have a reliable service to get the unlock code from?
I have an [x] Network - 5 on my SIM Lock menu which I believe means it is unlock able via code.
Thanks.

Not sure if you will be able to as I believe for O2 to unlock PAYG phones they have to be 1year old but if you know in contract with O2 it's free to unlock them it may be worth trying but like I say as you bought a PAYG phone you may not be able to do that. I have had success with eBay before for unlock codes and their usually the cheapest plus with PayPal you can get your money back if it don't work. Just don't try to guess the unlock codes because after so many invalid codes it will permanently sim lock the device

I've used https://www.unlockbase.com/unlock-phone/ a few times in the past under similar circumstances without issue.
