hi there i recently have purchased a motorola defy which is locked to the T-mobile uk network i am trying to unlock it so i have a few questions for you guys. I have already purchased unlock codes of two unlock code websites and both gave me the same unlock code which neither work,also i have been into a local mobile phone shop that unlocks phones but they were wanting to keep the phone for a week and charge me £35 . Can someone give me some advice for instance can i unlock it myself? if i root it will that unlock it? cheers in advance!!
Defy
Hi did you have any luck with the unlock
Hi there no i havent had any luck in unlocking the phone the i have been in touch with the ppl that sent me the unlock code and they say that the codes provided are 100% genuine so im all out of ideas.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Call T-Mobile
If the phone is no longer under contract (the old owner finished out the contract, or the phone was bought full price, or whatever) they are pretty helpful with unlocking them, at least in the USA.
agreed. call the carrier and if your nice and have been with the carrier long enough they usually can help you out.
My Defy came from Argentina... No chances to get an unlock code... Does anyone know another way to unlock Defy? Actually mine is just like an IPod

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.

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.
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.

Hi
Anyone successfully unlocked their Desire S to use with a different sim card?
me - is the same like any other htc. I bought the code from htcimeiunlock.com
I have a Desire S from Austria and it didn't work by code because the provider (T-Mobile) changed it!
There must be a free way to do this, surely?
dont think so, need either paid for unlock code or xtc clip as i am aware.
just a heads up....if you are a customer of o2...they will unlock the phone for you free of charge...i just purchased this phone off them and had it unlocked

Hey!
I had the same problem! I have a Desire S that was branded and locked by T-Mobile Austria. After searching all over the internet i got a good adress in Schwechat. The guy there unlocked my Desire S in 10 mins. Just look it up in the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043316!

Hey guys,
I want to use my razr hd locked to FIDO in Canada in another carrier, so I want to unlock the device.
Without going to companies that offers unlocking code for like $10, are there any ways to unlock by myself free?
I'm a software developer.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers

Not that I've found. It's worth just spending the $8 imo.
Hi there where can you get the $8 unlock code from?
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2
I got mine from
Ebay for about 7$
I thought you were talking about unlocking the bootloader for a sec (which should be possible with the Fido one).
I also say spend the $8 for the carrier unlock. Got without eating out for a day. Problem solved.
Anyway, I bought a phone locked to AT&T and wanted to use it on Fido/Rogers and I simply called AT&T to get the unlock code. Maybe Fido will do the same? I don't know...
Thread moved. Please post your questions here in Q&A in future.

I'm interested in this one too. I have one on AT&T that I would like to get an unlock code for. All of the supposed videos with links on youtube that I've tried with "unlock code generators" are full of crap.
Anyone ever find an unlock code for these? I have one sitting here that I bought on Ebay that was guaranteed to be able to be unlocked....LOL...Needless to say I did get my money back, but the phone is still sitting here in a box...

Yours that is sitting in the box, is it the US AT&T version? If so you might be able to contact AT&T and get the unlock code for free. www.att.com/deviceunlock would be the site you would use.
