Hi, is there a way to be able to use any SIM card with this phone? Like a tool to unlock the phone or a app that allow us to put a SIM card from a different network operator?

I am getting an HTC One S that is locked to Orange UK. I'm not in the UK and I'm having a friend ship the phone to me. It is an S4.
This will be my frist Android device, so I'm a bit clueless. I plan on ultimately changing to stock EU firmware, rather than Orange firmware.
Can I change the firmware and remove the SIM lock (I assume simply changing the firmware won't do this?) without an Orange SIM? I have read the threads on how to remove the SIM lock so I'm confident that I can do it, I just don't know what functions can be accessed on the phone without a SIM having never had an Android device before.
I have an Orange uk One S now running trickDroid v7 & if you want to remove the Orange sim lock try this Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693491

Thanks, I appreciate the reply.
I have been through that link, I just want to check if I can follow that process without having an Orange SIM in the phone at the time. I'm not sure what parts of the phone can be accessed without a SIM in it.
I've not tryed the sim unlock as yet but use without a sim in connect to play store via wireless will work most of the process is done via the app or cmd prompt so should be workable!

Great, that answers my question then, thanks!
No you don't need an Orange SIM card. The SIM unlock procedure actually required you have a SIM from a different provider so you're good to go with what ever SIM you have. Once you insert a SIM card other than Orange SIM, it will ask for a SIM unlock code.
hi all, i have the nck code from operator but i dont have any locked sim cards to unlock it with, any way to enter it?

If you mean SIM unlock, it's not the SIM that's locked or unlocked, it's the phone. The phone is locked to 1 carrier, and it will only communicate with SIM cards from that carrier. In order to enter the SIM unlock code, you must be running a stock ROM. After you unlock the phone, you can use any SIM.
In order for the phone to prompt you for an unlock code, you may need to insert an unexpired SIM card from another carrier.
If you're talking about unlocking bootloader, s-off, rooting, that kind of stuff, that's unrelated to, and independent of, SIM unlocking.

Hello guys
I would like to ask how to unlock this Android device? Already tried GalaxSim Unlock in Playstore and it says that it is already unlocked.. But when I try to use a sim from another network my tab does not recognize the sim.. It says in the notification that I need to insert a sim to use data network
Thanks
the phone has a sim card slot and i believe is cdma and gsm compatible. how do you make it so i can use it on t-mobile sim card for use in the US?
i believe i will have to root and then whatever has to be dobe to unlock the simcard carrier provider
thanks in advance
SIM is unlocked by default

Hello
The SIM is unlocked by default in this device. But the US GSM frequencies are blocked. You can use it outside the US with any SIM card but not inside the US. No root needed.

Is there a way to get a Sim unlocked on this phone?
