Hi guys hope someone can help.
Lost my best phone now all I have is a samsung preston s5603 locked to telstra australia.
Is their a way to unlock this by using code or flashing.
I tried one of them online ones but it took my payment (paypal)and has ripped me off.
No worries if it can't be done just want a heads up as to my options.
Thanks........

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 all,
I purchased a Samsung galaxy s2 GT-i9100m off someone on craigstlist a few years back (original owner /w box clean imei).
I am currently on Virgin Mobile which is bell mobility network - Apparently when I purchased it he already unlocked/rooted the phone but I believe I removed that by installing the official jellybean on my phone (it still works with my virgin sim).
Now I am planning to purchase a new smartphone and give my mom this one.. She is on the rogers network.
I have no idea if this phone is virgin or bell locked (does it actually matter between the two while selecting it on a unlock code site?)
If it does matter how do I find out the orginal locked carrier? The phone has no logos besides the type GT-i9100m.
Oh and what is the cheapest unlock site?
Thank you.

It depends on the unlocking method, some just unlock using a standard code whilst others contact the network it is locked to for a specific code. I would advise checking just to be sure so the unlock works. However after research that phone is seen most common on Virgin so I would select them and if that option isn't available go Bell (After all most services offer a refund/retry, all that I've used anyway)
Unfortunatley, I do not know a cheap and reliable service but some say you can do it yourself but I'm sure after some search on Google/eBay you can get a good, RELIABLE service (Reliability is more important than cost)
Hope I could help and good luck with your unlock

sorry, i cant help you with your question.
i just wanted to point out to be very cautious when choosing an unlock site. i see posts frequently of users getting ripped off. when choosing a site, i would do some google searches on them, to see if it results in any scam reports.
i have never used one of these sites, so i dont know ant to suggest.
Hello there!
As this phone doesn't really have its own dedicated area in the forum , i just felt this is the right place to ask for help.
I own this device which was bought on contract from orange romania , and unfortunately it is sim locked.
I have contacted htc regarding this issue and they checked my IMEI but they said that my phone doesn't appear to be locked nor branded by any carrier. In other words , this phone has got a lock on it , but it wasn't htc that put it there, but orange romania.
Do you know any way to unlock it? I would go into a service store but it's hard to find somebody that is capable of unlocking my phone, i have already tried 3 stores in my area and all of them returned a negative result.
I live in italy so i can't go back to orange and ask them to unlock my phone. Even so, if you're still on contract , they charge you 100€ to unlock your device, which is absolutely insane , my phone costs NEW , UNLOCKED 130 € on ebay.
Therefore , any thoughts? I'm willing to test some stuff if you have any idea. Of course , i wouldn't want to brick my phone as i really doubt i can find someone to unbrick it around here, but anyway , i'm open to new ideas.
Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
A friend of mine dropped his LG smartphone and broke the glass on it, now it doesn't respond to any touch and is unusable for the time being.
I wanted t give him my old Samsung Linx to use in the meantime but he's on Rogers and I'm on Fido. I was trying to find out how to unlock the phone, but it looks like the only things I've been able to find is to buy an Unlock Code by providing the IMEI number.
Is there a free way to unlock the phone, without paying some sketchy company for an unlock code?
Thanks

For Device Unlock you need to have service for 90+ days. That's how that works. If you want an eBay service or something. honestly just find a unlocking service with good reviews but you've been warned that unlocking that way isn't official and I don't recommend it. With that said you can check out rugitin who unlocks the phone: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Metro-PCS-A...513358?hash=item33ad4810ce:g:xBAAAOSwZVhWS-sG
Remember unlocking like this isn't legit or official in anyway but if you don't want to wait 90 days with active service than this is your only option.
