15 quid a month ha
Tried to sign up with my wallaby on o2 but they say they dont want to know lol

Dont Know ,not Worth it
Installed it on my xda mini s , after a while saw its trying to connect the gprs.. canceled it .
then it sent 2 text i dont know where lol, i only had it installed for less then 10 hours and it sent 4 texts from my phone using my own PAYG credit :shock:
uninstalled it , and wont try anything like this again lol

My plan has unlimited data, so as long as it doesnt F'up the phone I will try it. Figure already got the NSA checking out my phone logs and calls, etc.. whats one more
At least if they are going to track me I get paid for them being nosy.
Not to mention since I have a HTC Universal in the U.S. maybe it will give some of the companies an idea to actually offer one here that uses EDGE. Being on the bleeding edge of technology it never hurt to help them get new ideas to improve what we got either.

save money on 0870/ 0844/ 0845

hi everyone, before you are going to call any 0870/ 0845 number, try this
http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php
and most of the company include HTC has local number instead of 08xx
this way you can save money or use your free min to spaek to the company or custmore service.
please tell everyone about this !!

I have been using them for a while now and it works quite well with a few exceptions.
If you have access to a landline it also offers 0800 options for many numbers too.
I had problems calling post offices and the DVLA with it, and also once a bank etc finds someone has found a way of calling them and bypassing a number that makes them revenue to keep you waiting - they often change the number.
But I would say always worth a try regardless of this.

Achieving effects of changing IMEI without actually changing it: a legal workaround

Let's please not turn this into a discussion on the legality of changing IMEI numbers. It is illegal in the EU. Changing ESNs is illegal in the United States, but IMEIs may or may not be; I haven't been able to find supporting documentation either way but haven't looked that hard. I will say that here in the US we don't blacklist IMEIs of stolen phones, so there's NO reason for thieves to wish to change them.
I am very much displeased with the way service providers are dictating data plan requirements by device types. I use a smartphone, but use very little data. I don't want to pay twice as much as a dumbphone user using 100x the data. I also don't want to be forced to purchase a data plan regardless of whether or not I need or want it, just because I want to use a particular phone. For this reason I and millions of other people in the US have a very compelling motive for changing the IMEI #s of our smartphones to those of our old dumbphones.
Moderators will not allow discussion of changing IMEIs, but I'd like to suggest another possibility. I found a patent that suggests it may be possible to change the IMEI # reported to the service provider with a SIM card app while leaving alone the # stored in the phone.
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2009/0069001.html
This patent was filed on 11/07/2008 by AT&T. Those two facts jive well with my experience. AT&T has just recently been implementing changes in their system which allow them to automatically change your data plan upon detection of your SIM being in a new device.
The patent suggests that they are utilizing a program actually stored on the SIM card to do the reporting. So would you please read through the patent and comment on the possibility of altering the program on the SIM card to report an IMEI # of our choosing instead of the IMEI stored on the phone?

[Q] Spoofing carrier/ip.. $ reward?

Hello guys,
I have searched pretty extensively on this forum and it doesn't seem like this issue has been discussed here.
Here is my problem: I need to be able to spoof my ip address to those of different phone carriers to observe ads being run on mobile websites. Most ads are delivered on a network basis, i.e. someone being shown ATT ads differs from someone being shown Verizon ads. I believe a maxmind database is used to determine the location. Anyone know how this can be done?
$ reward for anyone that can help me out.

I don't see you have many options there.
You either need a proxy in all the different ip spaces you want to pretend to be in or you have to use different sim card every time you want to change your identity.

Is there any way to use the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR capability to send out a fake ip address?
& Yes I have a proxy in all geographical locations, but the problem is they are wifi and I need my ISP to be a carrier, i.e. AT&T, Sprint, etc.

I am also in need of an unlock code for a cricket phone.... thNk you very much

Excerpt from here :
Prerequisites​Cricket, like other carriers, has some prerequisites that you have to meet before you can request your phone to be unlocked.
The device you want to unlock has been active for at least six 6 months of paid service.
The device is designed for use on and is locked to Cricket’s network.
The device has not been reported lost or stolen. otherwise known as blacklisted.
The device is not associated with a fraudulent account; your account must also be in “good standing.”
Cricket is actually one of the few carriers that supports military personnel pretty well. The Cricket policy is that they will unlock one Cricket-based smartphone for a service member who doesn’t meet the requirements, but that person will have to provide deployment papers or other supporting documentation.
How to unlock a Cricket phone​Cricket actually makes it fairly easy to get an unlock code, so long as you meet the necessary requirements. The steps to do it online, over at the Cricket website are:
Sign in, visit Account Settings and select Get Code.
Scroll down to locate the number of the phone or line you’d like to unlock.
Select Request Unlock.
The unlock code for eligible Android phones will automatically be displayed on screen, as well as texted to your phone, so long as you meet the requirements. The unlock process for eligible iPhone users is a little different, as they will receive their unlock code via text message the following business day.
You can also use the Cricket app to unlock your phone.
Download and ppen your myCricket app.
If you’re already signed into the app, make sure to sign out.
From there, you can tap Unlock Device on the app’s sign-in screen.
Tap Unlock at the bottom of the screen.
Once your phone is successfully unlocked, restart it to complete the process. Once restarted, you should be able to take your Cricket phone and use it on any other network, including international ones.
Like we mentioned, Cricket is one of the few carriers that support military members with excellent communication services. If you need an expedited unlock, here’s the official word from Cricket:
“If you’re in the military and need expedited unlocking prior to deployment, please call Customer Support at 1-800-CRICKET (1-800-274-2538) or dial 611 from your Cricket phone. We appreciate your service. “

Yea, I already know all this, and the 6 mos is not met so that's why trying backdoor channel. Person I got it from said it was more than 6 mos but actually they had it more but only registered it 2. Now stuck unless I can unlock.

Does your device really ask for unlock code? Like when you put in a sim a prompt comes which requests you to enter an unlock pin?

Don't have anymore, sent back.
