The only unlocked and unbranded Lumia 822 on Ebay is this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nokia-Lumia...1217732102?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item2a316b2606
all others are Verizon branded and might cause problems with band width depending where you live. The unlock refers only to sim unlock and has nothing to do with unlocking band width which is not possible because that is a hard ware factor.

I just wonder if there is a way to know if a cellphone is factory unlocked. I bought a Nexus S which I presume it was originally locked on Vodafone and was unlocked prior to selling it to me, so I am angry.
I would like to buy also some other devices like Nokia Lumia 900, Samsung Galaxy Note, etc and I would like to know if effectively is factory unlocked, whether checking the IMEI or any other information.
There are some websites for IMEI testing: http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr
Any further info on this?
Hello everyone:
I am a chinese,I bought a Trophy(Verizon) from Ebay,but it is locking,and I can not use the GSM function.
The I contact sellers on Ebay who can unlock the HTC phone,but they said my phone's IMEI can not be found from htc unlock code's datebase ,so they can't find the unlock code.
It mean the IMEI was Not Found On Database or it is Not Available.
Have any methods can unlock my phone's GSM network?
I hope someone can give me a help.
Best regards.
TKS.
Does the phone not have the option to toggle to GSM mode, or does it just not work? It should be under Settings -> Cellular.
I don't think the Verizon Trophy is even SIM-locked in the first place. At least, not in the usual sense. However, I have heard a rumor that they block it from being used on the USA GSM carriers, T-Mobile (US) and AT&T.
If you're able to take it to a Verizon store, they can probably remove any unlocks on the device. They may or may not be willing to do so for free, but they probably *can*.
Out of curiosity, why in the world buy a predominantly CDMA phone (even if it has a GSM mode in addition) if you're a GSM user? There are plenty of GSM Windows Phones, most of which are arguably better designs too. Verizon users around here hate that the Trophy is the only phone available to them, and I truly sympathize.
when I select the GSM model and put in a SIM card of CMCC,It display:
This SIM card can only be used on specific networks.Contact your customer service center for the unlock code.
So it's should be a GSM network lock.
You only have 2 options first you need to find the way to bring it back to Verizon to unlock the phone but if you're in China right now that probably impossible.
Now the second option is to buy the unlock code on eBay. I have no idea why you phone couldn't unlock did you ask the right seller? Because HTC Trophy actually have 2 version one is European and the other one is US (CDMA and GSM) You may need to try other sellers if you can find them.
I have HTC Trophy Verizon and my brother also has one he went back home and unlock the phone before left US and it works fine with GSM/UMT.
Can the Lumia 820 be SIM unlocked? I know at least for the At&t version of the 920 it cannot. I am on T-mobile in the US and even though they have the 810, I want the 820 instead. The 810 is hideous.
You need to ask your provider. In Europe there's a law that says you must provide a free unlock service - you can't sell simlocked phones otherwise, maybe there's similar thing in the US.

I honestly think 90% of unlock websites are scam. If you're going to pay for it - it's best to visit some kind of network outlet or Nokia Care and see how can they help you.
Ok, can i unlock the cellphone on Nokia care service?
i think that is better on nokia that the page.

I have lumia 820 locked from Orange France I don't know is there a way to use my phone with other networks..
Excuse me if I have wrong spelling.
Sorry to bump such an old topic, but I thought you guys might like to know that you can get unlock codes for AT&T 820's now. I bought one yesterday from cellunlocker.net and it worked. It was $15. I've also been reading that people have successfully been able do a chat with AT&T and get it for free.
