Hello all,
A buddy of mine is thinking about importing the HTC 7 Surround to Holland. My question is, is it possible to use an imported phone in Holland?
If it's not locked and it's GSM, he can use it.
Well, that he will have to figure out himself. But if Im correct the HTC Surround operates on GSM network.. I dont know if it has a simlock but again, he himself can ask the company who will be shipping it. Basicly, you gave me the information I needed to know. Thanks!
Grtz, Herte.
It depends on who the carrier is

Hello there....
I bought a second hand phone for my girlfriend, which appears to be blocked on all UK networks. I'm guessing it was an insurance scam or something like that.
Question is.... would this phone still work in the USA?
It's a Sony Ericsson K800i
Any help would be much apreciated because currently, i'm about £220 out of pocket. I know i was stupid to do this, but you know what it's like when they start pecking your head for something......
Thanks in advance.....
G
Should work in USA, as the IMEIs are only blocked on the UK networks.
Thanks for the response. Can anyone verify this for me 100% though? I rally don't want to cause anyone else the same problems i have.

Yes you definately can use the device in us as far you mentioned the devise imei is locked by uk service provider....so there should not be any problem usng it other place/other service provider then of those...i also used one set like then a years ago....
but the problem might not get solved if the device is sim locked....that means the device is ment to use with a single operator 4m whome it was been brought on a contract.... otherwise then of the sim locking things you should be fine...
Thanks
Hi, quick one please.
I have a Wizard also know as XDA Mini S branded to O2... I did recently do the update to WM6 with the Hard method, also used some software which captured settings of the phone, it told me it was SIM unlocked and I know I made it CID unlocked with the Hard thing.
What I want to know is this.
Currently on a business contract with o2, this is expiring and I have sorted out so I get a signal here on other networks by using other antenna (see my other post)... I ebayed a very cheap Orange SIM so I can test the signal, however it doesn't have a number and requires registering and I know I need to give my phone EIMI out. I also have another sim here which works as a PAYG Vodafone which is registered to another hand set.
So, when i put in either vodafone or orange sim into my so called 'unlocked' phone, it just sits there searching away and nothing really happens, no messages just search, I know I should be getting signals.
1: Is this handset locking methods but I am sure im unlocked? Is this because the EMIE and vodafone sim card is not matching?
2: As I am in a business contract with o2, if I register the EMEI number with Orange, will I upset my business phone number (must not do)
All I want to do is see how 'steady' the orange signal is here and also find out what to do next when we change our contract (this month) as I wish to retain my XDA because no 'new' XDA-type phones coming out have no antenna sockets
Any help is good
nobody here?
if i were you i would ask in the forum made specialy for your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=289
better chance of getting a reply from people who own the same device
the wiki is also a good place to get info
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
but it is a question about networks and how they work and not about a particurlar phone.
Quite stunned that nobody is actually interested in helping me on this issue, they seem to be more interested in ROMs are alike lol
Is there any other forums out there devote to Mobile Phones?
Thanks anyway Rudegar
Hi all,
Im due to get a G1 from a friend of mine and Im slightly confused/overwhelmed by the threads here on how to unlock the phone..
What is the best way to unlock the phone? Im assuming I cant call 611 as Im in the UK and the phone is a UK phone, or am I wrong?
Is the best approach to go to http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com ?? or is there a software way of doing it?
I know this is almost certainly posted here, but Im confused/blinded by all the other entries..
Thanks,
Angelo
i'm not too sure about who to call, but apparently t-mobile offer to unlock it for £15 which is better than the £17 offered by that site (i'd much prefer to trust t-mobile too )
you're best bet is to ring up t-mobile and speak to them about it. make up some **** about leaving the country or something, it will probably work
Many thanks
Many thanks, appreciate the clarity
you should be able to tell them you are going over seas and want to put a pre-paid sim in when you get there and for that you require the phone to be unlocked
Hi All,
I bought a HTC Fuze last year that was locked and branded to AT&T, I'm in Canada and my friend who owns the cell phone shop that sold it to me unlocked it and unbranded it for a fee. So it was unlocked which I hear At&T does for free and unbranded to make it think it was a HTC Touch Pro. I love technology and so I played around with it everyday. Now it's gotten a bit laggy and I played around with a program called Advanced Config. I want to do a Hard Reset but reading the service manual for the HTC Raphael, there should be a message that says something about the going back to manufacturer's default. My Question is will this delete the unlocking code and unbranding Rom or should they stay in one peace, and if they are deleted can you guys help me do the same thing again.
Thanks
Hamza
Hard reset will not undo unlocking. Unlocking is something more on the firmware level and a hard rest only clears your user data. Wouldn't affect the ROM either.

Good luck,
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.
