Hi,
Is there any solution to unlock my T-mobile HTc HD7 for free ? There are indeed a lot of websites to provide this solution, but not for free unfortunately.
Many thanks in advance!

I'd like to know as well...I've mostly used CDMA devices so they were always kind of locked I guess...
if you got it subsidized through tmous, they make you wait 60days usually for a free unlock code. Why shouldn't they? If you bought the device subsidized, they have a right to make that money back.
If you bought it outright, they should just give it to you.
I'm talking about buying it outright...
Has anyone come up with a solution to this yet? I am interested in going out of the country in the next month and would like to slip in another sim card while I am out. Thanks! 8)
Riiight.
You just forked out for a really expensive piece of kit. Is it really going to break the bank to pay 19 euros to unlock it?
If you're going to buy the HD7 from T-Mobile at full price you can ask T-Mobile for the unlock code. You just have to fax them the receipt.
Hey guys i'm from Malaysia n i just purchased a HTC HD 7.Wanted to know if the unlock option is available here for free..Thanks
Why would everyone talk about imei unlock sites and 19 bucks, when there is a for-free method? try a search..

I just got mine a few days ago and requested a code using a friends prepaid account. I did that so that they would process it as if I bought it flat out and process it for me. Expecting results tomorrow and will keep posted
Edit: code came in this morning. Whole process took less than 24 hours. Now using my hd7 on att's network.
Also needing an unlock method that is free or very cheap and doesn't require me to ask Tmobile for it.
Thanks.
I am not aware of any sites that work to SIM unlok your phone. What I can contribute is that if you SIM unlock your HD7 through T-Mobile, you will need to have another provider's SIM to complete the process.

Is it possible to unlock these phones, does it just ask for a code or how is it done, would like to know, do any of the phones come factory unlocked.
Yes it's possible to unlock the phones.
What phone are you looking at for unlocking?
Phones to unlock
I wanna either get a htc surround or a Lg quantum. I will pick one up Monday when they come out just nor sure which one yet.
I'm not sure weather they will come unlocked but I can only speak for the UK, the HTC HD7 was locked to o2 as were other phones on respective networks (orange etc).
You CAN get unlock codes though, I managed to. You might have to wait a few days after purchase (I had to wait 5 days) as the phones are that new the IMEI numbers aren't in any databases yet. Not sure if this would apply to the US though as the phones have been around for a bit now elsewhere.
For the omnia 7, direct unlock here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828503
HTC surround isn't doing so well in terms of reviews and what not. I'd reconsider that.
Lg quantum
I think i will go for the lg instead as i want the full keyboard, where can i find someone to unlock these win7 phones.

First of all decide where you are buying your phones from. Some of the providers like O2 do not lock their devices.
For the other devices which come locked there are quite a lot of sites which gives you the unlock code within minutes or max 1 day.
Also you can check how much your provider is charging to unlock the device. Usually the charge between your provider and the ones outside is not that huge and if that is the case it is always better to get it unlocked from your provider.

My carrier that actually has win 7 phones wont give you an unlock code for 30 days and want 75 bucks after that, so im looking for an aftermarket company to unlock the lg quantum on bell in canada and also unlock a rogers samsung focus on rogers.

i'm concerned about this unlocking business. if an iphone comes originally unlocked there's of course 0 problem, but if the simlock gets removed using some software or code and the phone gets its software updated, the simlock comes right back. i know there weren't any wp7 updates yet, but do you think this situation also concerns wp7 devices?

u r talking about jail breaking here not sim unlocking.
Once you sim unlock your phone the only advantage is you can use the SIM of any carrier in it and no future updates would be locking it back.
The scenario you told would only come if you find a way to modify the reg settings to use the phone as a usb storage or something like that. in this case once you update ur phone with a wp 7 update ur hack would stop working till u find and tweak ur registry settings again

thanks for replying, but i actually was talking about sim unlocking. i heard that if the iphone is originally locked to some carrier e.g. at&t, the simlock gets removed using a code or software and the phone gets an update, the simlock returns. i was wondering whether this scenario concerns wp7. either way, it's always best to buy a phone that's originally sim unlocked (more expensive...)

The phones are initially prepared unlocked from the manufacturers like HTC. Carriers like orange than orders phones for them which they ask to be locked to Orange SIMS. There would be an unlock code to enable the handset to accept all the SIM's as the handset was made like that. If you contact your carrier like Orange they would in turn contact HTC and get the unlock code from them. If you contact any third party from the web they calculate this unlock code and msg or mail you (God knows how... Quite a lot of people have asked in XDA and there is no reply to this other than silence)
So if you SIM unlock your phone it is done. All your future updates for the OS would be done via zune and there is no way your handset would get locked again..
Hope everything is clear....
thank you, all is clear now
Successful unlock codes
Hi guys,
Just want to let you know that my Focus finally arrived this Monday, as soon as I got it I sent the IMEI and payed to the ebay guy nckzone, this seller is amazing, in 2 hours he sent me the unlock code to my paypal email address, the code worked just great.
The next day (Tuesday), my girlfriend's HTC Surround arrived and so I proceed to ask him if he also unlocks HTC Surround (this is because we live in Costa Rica and ICE's network is lock because of AT&T's policies), and he told me he can do those as well, so I payed and in 30 minutes he replied with the code. Great service for real...
If somebody needs to buy unlock codes for WP7, I think this guy can. The link of the auction is this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Unlock-Samsung-Focus-i917-Omnia7-Galaxy-Tab-CODE-/140482107888?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b562d9f0#ht_2581wt_1139

Damn. Man! My Focus will arrive in just a few days. I had to have it shipped. I really hope his magic will work on mine as well. Although I really hate AT&T for forcing Samsung to lockdown on the unlock codes for the US-released Focus. It's not like they're the only Telecom company that matters.
Well, enough trolling. =)) Thanks for the heads up.

No problem pal, I hope you enjoy your device as much as I am enjoying mine! Regards
I know that I am not the only one looking at this phone as a way to get a great Dual Core, 4G, vanilla Android phone (unmolested by AT&T) but able to be used on the AT&T network. I have had great luck and a lot of fun with the AT&T Nexus One and I think this phone will be just a successful with the help of XDA DEV's
I wanted to start a thread here in the G2X section for people to share with other users how to's and what works with regards to using this phone on the AT&T network.
It may be to soon to get all the answers, but maybe someone is working the same answers.
Questions:
How easy will it be to obtain the SIM Unlock code from T-Mobile or LG?
I am going to buy the phone at retail, just may have to use T-Mobile for 60-90 days to get the Unlock code.
Will AT&T allow us to upgrade to 4G data plan without buying their 4G phone?
I know from researching the Atrix 4G that the AT&T data plan needed to be upgraded to a 4G plan but you could keep unlimited data.
If I remember Tmobile's unlock policy correctly you wont have to wait. You can request the unlock code right away if you pay full retail price. Unless that's changed recently of course but I dont think it has. Good luck with it.
Kind of a repeat of what is in this thread started by me (which you tried to hijack)

Re-posting what I have found here:
I just got off of the phone with t-mobile customer care (1-877-453-1304). I called them because I wanted clarification on this before I purchased 2 full retail price phones.
The program is called the "Sim Subsidy Unlock Program." It is for anyone that purchases a phone for the full retail price from a corporate store or an authorized retailer and pays all of the price upfront.
You need to call customer care, explain that you purchased a phone for full price and request a "remedy request form number." They will then open this request and you then have 7 days to fax the following to the Sim Unlock Team at 1-813-353-6557 :
ATTENTION: SIM UNLOCK TEAM
Full Name
Mobile Number
Email Address
Readable Copy Of Sales Receipt
It takes 24 to 72 hours to process and they will email you instructions to unlock your phone.
As for at&t's 4g, there currently using hspa+ also, so if it supports their 3g, you'll have at&t "4g" as well

That is this NORMAL procedure ...unless the phone is "exclusive" to T-Mobile. In such a case they will NOT unlock it even if you paid full retail price. This is what happened to me with their dell streak 7, I had to return it as they would not unlock it no matter what and I paid full retail for it so please triple check before you buy as I think the the G2X is exclusive to T-Mobile in the US.

It officially has been on sale since the 15th, so yes, it is out yet. Also, I have seen unlock codes for phones that are about to be released. Especially if there is a European counterpart.
P.S. I'm getting especially sick of these carriers with phones being locked to carriers, locked down, locked/encrypted bootloaders. SMH.

SIM unlock codes are provided by the phone manufacturer. When you make a request for an unlock code, the wireless company forwards the request to the manufacturer. The manufacturer e-mail's you the unlock code. If you're using an unlock service off the web they're doing the same thing. Devs have nothing to do with unlocking a SIM.

Thanks, For Reading
No, you can't get a code for free if you're not a T-mobile customer. Get a code on ebay, they only cost 6-10 dollars..
Thanks for sharing......................

Your own network operator would be miles cheaper than say $63.36 !!

Hi,
You can unlock your HTC 7 Surround using unlock codes. It is the safest and the simplest unlocking methods. Contact your service provider and get the unlock code from them. If they don't provide you with the code, you can get it from online sites. Prounlocking.com is where i unlocked my phone, they offered codes at affordable price with simple unlocking instructions!!

A completely non-techy friend needs to SIM unlock their HTC A9192. I'd do it for them, but they live in NY and I'm in DC. So, is there a super simple app they can use to SIM unlock? The phone is locked to AT&T US. It has to be SUPER simple, like download this app, plug your phone in, run the app. Anything beyond that, and this friend would be better off spending $10 and just buying an unlock code. Said friend runs windows 7. Their phone is fully AT&T stock, not rooted.
If there's not a one click type app, are there any reputable sites to buy an unlock code? I don't wanna suggest a site to my friend and then they end up with their credit card info stolen.

What about calling at&t and ask them for the unlock code? Sim unlocking is now forbidden in the US.
