I know many of you are coming from Vibrant / Galaxy S 4G and hence would like to buy Tmobile G2X unlocked.
I thought it'd be a good idea to have a thread where we have consolidated discounted unlocked pricing options.
Currently it seems $529 - $540 is the unlocked price. Please post if you know any better pricing....
$499 from T-Mobile. Why would you spend anymore than that somewhere else?

I think that T-mobile price is off contract, not unlocked. Please correct me if I am wrong as i too am looking to pick one up, but live in another country so must get it unlocked as well.
I was always under the impression that if you bought a phone off contract then all you had to do was call T-Mobile and ask for the unlock code. I don't think they require you to be a T-Mobile customer. After all it's your device.
Word around the campfire is that T-Mobile isn't selling this phone to non-contracted customers, and if you contact them with the device and request a code they'll deny it. It's a t-mobile exclusive phone in the US, and they won't offer up unlock codes unless you're a customer and wait the 90 days, or the phone is no longer exclusive.
This is all rumor so far, but here was a T-Mo sales rep in another thread that said they were given new directives regarding selling off contract phones to non-Tmo customers.

So your telling me, since I am no longer under contract with T-Mobile, I can't walk into there store and purchase the device for $499 retail even though I am a T-Mobile customer?
I would hold off on buying this for AT&T (or other providers) until we get clarification on what bands it supports and how to enable them if needed.

I just tried it online and they are allowing me to buy the phone off contract as well. cancelled at the last minute cause I already have my on-contract g2x
@Divinedark, you heard the wrong thing through the wrong grapevine. Sorry bro. Your inside source has been proved wrong. I also called T-Mobile and told them I was interested in buying a G2x off contract but only if I were able to get a unlock code for it right away. They said it wouldn't be a problem. I guess you should just go ahead and remove your post since it's false information.

They did it for me and my Vibrant back in July and I wasn't on contract. Did you word this wrong because if you purchase a phone through a upgrade and are under a contract they will not give you a unlock code since you do not own the device. If you aren't under contract and you purchase the device at retail price then it's all yours and they will give you a unlock code. Whether or not you have to be a T-Mobile customer is a different story.
If you have to be a customer then just purchase the phone retail and sign up for the cheapest plan possible. Ask for a unlock code which you will get within 3 days and then just cancel your account.
I did not word this wrong. I was very explicit about wanting to buy the phone, without contract, and that I am NOT a customer of T-Mobile. Every answer I received was very candid about the fact that their policy is to not give out codes and that they do have a SIM subsidy program for those who are T-Mobile customers. I will add with a grain of salt one might get lucky when they call up customer support and find a representative who does not know the current policy and unlocks your phone. Not likely.
I am going to take a chance and go through a website and pay $14.99 for it.
Customer support does not provide unlock codes. The Sim Unlock Team does.
Read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12981927&postcount=19
They have always unlocked devices for me but I guess it's because I am a T-Mobile customer, just not locked into a contract with them. My Vibrant being my most recent device I got unlocked. Just called customer service and they emailed me the unlock code 2 to 3 days later.
Thats kind of childish on there part. There not losing any money by giving you the code since you paid for the device in full. They may have made a little bit of money off you actually. I'm sure they didn't have to pay LG $499. Like you said, your best bet is to pay a 3rd party $15 for a unlock code.
I got great news I just called T Mobile and was upfront of what I was wanting to do with the purchase of the G2x and they said as long as you buy it at full retail price, they said they have the options under their policy to give out unlock phone code at the moment of purchase. So I'm thinking of buying the G2x and than buy a phone on contract with AT&T that has good resale value and sell it, and in a way AT&T is subsidizing my G2x.

If you don't currently have a contract with AT&T, one has to ask. Why the hell would you want to go into one? If your in a area where T-Mobile has service, they have less dropped calls and faster download speeds. Every phone I get through T-Mobile has been better call wise and data wise than my Wifes iPhone with AT&T. We live North of Baltimore.

I stated nothing as fact... bro... I was merely stating that in another of the AT&T threads, someone who said they worked for T-Mo was told just what I wrote. It seems very location specific. Some people are being told they will sell them one, some are saying that they'll sell it, but not give them the code, and some are saying they're not being offered either. So, there you go... bro...
Must be something new...
It has always been T-Mobile's policy to only give unlock codes to current customers who have been with them for at least 90 days and have a good pay history. This is something new if they now allow non customers to buy a device and obtain a lock code. Since the unlock codes must come from LG, I highly doubt anyone would be provided with a unlock code on the day they buy the phone.
Could be some CS reps looking to up their quotas by giving less than accurate information. Get it in writing before you buy.

I just got the G2x, I will get the Sensation too and then decide which one I like better. Not too concerned with the bootloader as I'm sure someone will crack it eventually.

so once the sensation is out, can we expect the price of the incredible S to drop? because it doesnt make sense to me that the incredible S price is over $500 non subsidized and the sensation is going to cost even less? i find it odd...

Leaving for work in about 30 minutes. Today is our quarterly meeting/HTC Sensation training. I will have this confirmed and answered and possibly with some photos by the end of the day.
If you have any questions about the device just reply quote em' here and I'll be checking throughout the day and get as many of them answered from the engineers.
Side notes: The prototype that we played with the other day had 5 different little holes scattered throughout the back (I'll try to get a detailed pic of it today). Apparently, they're mic/antenna's. Once the case is off you can see the antenna lining around the back where the holes were placed... very interesting design. The engineer did say the final version might not have them though, as they did look really... strange. Also if you place the phone face down, the screen does not touch the surface.
I'm liking the insider information here. This is much better than videos on YouTube going over the same features.
I just got a G2x and I'm thinking about the sensation, however I'm not inclined to go HTC if they're going to start locking things down. Cyanogen is pro-G2x at the moment and noted on twitter (I think) that they're not going to support the sensation if its locked down.
I am basing my next purchase solely on the support of cyanogen and a few others may be doing the same. It would be nice to know whether the bootloader would be locked or not as well as current battery life stats - real ones.

"Off contract" means that you're not required to extend or renew your contract to get a subsidized phone price.
Generally speaking, you _should_ be able to walk into any wireless carrier store and purchase any phone at full price without signing a contract or even activating a line. With most Verizon and Sprint phones, this is a moot point due to CDMA.
I purchased a G2x last Wednesday from the T-Mo store. I've got an Even More Plus plan, so I had the option of either getting the phone through an EIP, pay-per-month or full-price. Because they discounted the phone, EIP wasn't available, so I dropped my card and went on my way.
Only to return it last night.
You should be able to go into the T-Mobile store and simply tell them that you'd like to purchase the phone, for full price, and if they resist, find another store. It should be easy to give the excuse of traveling overseas and/or giving it as a gift and activating it later.
People have bought the Sensation for $600 retail from Walmart. It's being disussed here. I just wanted to give a heads up it has S-ON in case this helps anyone.

Reboot the phone while holding the volume down button. You should see a white screen. At the first line you can read either "SHIP S-ON" or "SHIP S-OFF". If it is S-ON, it is locked. You can then exit this menu by removing the battery.

Does anyone really care about carrier lock these days? Every carrier has a version of these models rebranded with a new name for their own networks these days. These phones arent really worth using on unsupported networks running in 2G EDGE mode at best. If you want the sensation but you are an ATT customer than you buy an Inspire. If you're a verizon customer then you buy a Thunderbolt. Unlocking was only useful years ago when certain carriers were the only one's to get certain types of phones, and really only brought into the mainstream when the iPhone was released.

We're not talking about SIM/carrier lock...we're talking about S-ON or S-OFF...so we can flash our devices with a custom ROM, like CyanogenMod.
Anyway, the Inspire is not similar to the Sensation at all, except it's HTC and has a 4.3 inch screen. The HTC Desire HD is the phone you're thinking of The Desire HD was the original, then came the Inspire, then came the Thunderbolt. Although I guess you could argue that the EVO 3D was first, then the Desire HD, etc etc

It's as simple as calling t-mobile and telling them you need to unlock it. Tell them that you're going overseas and need to have it unlocked to use on other carriers. I normally say that we're going on vacation and are going to use a pre-paid sim overseas. Then they send me an email after a couple of days with the unlock instructions + unlock code. I've done this 3 times with no problems.

This is correct. We will provide an unlock code to you free of charge with no questions asked. Just ask to be transferred to our Sim Unlock dept. and they will be more than happy to assist you.
oooo, i see isee, there is no a software to unlock this phone?
if this phone is already s-off, it will be unlocked ?
T-Mobile will only unlock the phone for you once they can verify that you are a T-Mobile customer, or you paid full price for the phone at one of their T-mobile branded stores and can fax them a copy of the receipt. I just went through all of this with them on Monday. If you cannot do either of those 2 things, they will not help you.
The only way to get it unlocked if you are not a T-mobile customer is an unlock service. I used a guy on ebay that unlocked 2 of them for me and sent me the code within 5 mins. He charged $24.95 per phone.

I got mine in a trade so I didnt pay out of pocket for it. Not sure what they retail for in NYC, more than a T-mobile one that's for sure since unlocked phones are usually a higher price
TMO rep told me they can't unlock the phone yet, I'll try again in couple weeks or so.
After spending a couple hours on the phone with T-Mobile trying to work out my data plan in the wee morning hours last week, I received the unlocking code for my Sensation accidentally. After going through all the hell to keep my old rate for my data plan, and finally succeeding, they asked "Will there be anything else Sir". I said "Yes, one more thing. Can I get the SIM Subsidy Unlock Code for my HD2? And being so tired and half awake, I might have given the wrong IMEI number, because the next day I received the unlock code for my Sensation and not my HD2.
I called back the next day and told a tech supervisor that they had sent the unlock code for the wrong phone. The women on the phone apologized and said they would send it without the 24hr wait, and I should receive it within 2hrs. But when receiving the Email from T-Mobile a couple of hours later, this was the response:
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. We have received your SIM Unlock Request. Unfortunately, we are unable to process your request at this time. This subscriber has received an unlock code within the last 90 days. Per T-Mobile Policy only one unlock code will be provided per active subscriber every 90 days. Please submit a new request 90 days after the last unlock code was provided.
No big deal. I at least got the Sensation unlock code and just paid $20 online for the HD2 code.
gave tmobile a call. they seem to not want to give out unlock codes. they told me that i had to either pay for the price of the phone, the full price, or i need to use the phone 40 days. also got an email like this -
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. We have received your SIM Unlock Request. Unfortunately, this subscriber is not eligible to receive the unlock code at this time.

The t-mobile version, as well as the Asian & European version, won't work with AT&T 3G. The Canadian Bell version works with AT&T 3G, but it cost CAD550 before tax without contract to buy one from them. So be prepared to pay at least $600 to get one.
Is there any reason that you want to stick with AT&T (e.g. no t-mobile reception in your area or on a family plan)? I paid AT&T about $200 to break my contract, which still has another year before it ends. Sign up a new contract with t-mobile and get the Sensation for $150. So in the end I paid $350 for the phone, still a much better deal than paying $600+ for the Canadian version.
I just picked up a bell sensation and I can't find any company that has an unlock code for it. Anyone know how long it takes for the unlockers to get the codes from htc?
Try Cellunlocker. I got 2 Sensations unlocked from them for 19.99 each. Got the unlock codes within 4 hours. Mine were the T-Mobile version but they unlock the Bell version as well.
So far it seems no one has successfully unlocked the Bell versions. I spoke to a Bell rep today who said their HTC Sensation would not be issued unlock codes like their other models.
Is there any other way to unlock the device?
Can you confirm that the bell sensation has a protective lens for the camera. I went to the source and they have a dummy phone for bell sensation and it had a lens so that the camera is not recessed. Can you confirm this?
I went to cellunlocker and tried searching up my bell sensation IMEI that starts with a 35644 and it did say it had the unlock code for it. I also did the same with htcimeunlock but they did not have the code for my IMEI. I have no experience ordering from cellunlocker so i have no idea whether or not the site was telling the truth.

Many sites are selling the NAM sensation as "unlocked" and some have already shipped to buyers like Nergi Electronics. I can't imagine that they would have sold theses unless they were unlocked. I am waiting for mine and I called the place I am getting it from and they told me it is 100% unlockled.
I tried both those sites and they couldn't unlock the phone. I was told it would take a couple of days to get the updated tables. I really hope they can unlock this phone I can't think of any htc phone that didn't have an unlock.
Eventually there will be an unlock, it may be a bit soon as the phone was just officially released today (Bell) and mitigating factors like Bell are probably getting in the way.

It seems Rogers has burned some bridges (particularly the one with HTC). Bell has great phones out. I'm actually amazed... I switched to them for a few months and their coverage in my town was out of this world.
I reluctantly switched back to Rogers for the amazing retention rate plan and features I had though. I hope they take a page out of what Bell's doing though. They've stepped up their game considerably.
Any update on this? Wanting to unlock my Bell Sensation to use on AT&T!
Has anyone tried Mobile in Canada? According to this page, it looks like they should be able to do it.

You get an error saying they can't unlock it yet when you submit the IMEI...
im waiting for someone to confirm they have unlocked their bell sensation until i buy one. i hope its soon
Hey Everyone,
I sell alot of Unlock Codes on eBay and to other reseller websites online.
The current HTC Database is out of date and the next update is expected sometime next week.
Once the DB is updated all BELL HTC Sensations will have a code. For now there is no point trying different guys/websites, because in the end it is ONE database that everyone checks against.
Here is my HTC Sensation auction for unlock codes, but BELL IS NOT SUPPORTED RIGHT NOW.

Thank for your info Fr0Z3n
But the main question is still when will the servers be updated..
I tired of carrying around a phone that I cannot use. Not that I don't like my Atrix,
I just want a bigger screen.
By the way I tried mobileincanada.com and they don't have the code and they gave me a refund withing 2 hours without me having to ask for it.
I ** highly ** recommend them as another option when the servers are updated.
I also tried gsmconnexxion and have not got a refund yet, it's been 2 days and i'm still waiting.
Well lets get back to the main question again
*** On what day do the servers get updated??? ***
you tried gsmconnexxion? That is me and i don't have any refunds pending.
I am guessing you are just here advertising for mobileincanada? Anyways if you REALLY do have a refund pending send me a msg.
oh well and the htc servers get updated next week!

Thanks for the update fr0z3n. It gives me hope that Bell won't be locking down the device forever.
@fr0z3n: Thanks for the info, please keep us updated as to when the server gets updated.
I noticed that in your eBay link that you are selling the codes for $25.99US each while mobileincanada.com is $20CDN even. Are you willing to beat the mobileincanada.com price? Please note that I do realize that selling on eBay carries extra costs for the listings/final price fees, but what if we were to purchase from you outside of eBay? Is a group deal possible if a bunch of us get together and make a commitment to purchase a code from you when they are available?
Yes if it is a group deal then I can do $19.00 CAD (NOT USD) or $20 USD.
The margins for HTC codes are very low, but for a group deal I can certainly provide that.
