[Q] Motorola Defy

hi there i recently have purchased a motorola defy which is locked to the T-mobile uk network i am trying to unlock it so i have a few questions for you guys. 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!!

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.

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

[Q] Nexus S Unlock? [Solved]

Is it possible to SIM unlock a Nexus S that's locked to T-Mobile without asking T-Mobile for/buying an unlock code? Would the SGS unlock method work considering the Nexus S is part of the Galaxy S family?
Thanks

The NS is already sim unlocked

From what I understand they are all unlocked regardless of whether you bought it outright or under contract.

Hi
Would this apply to the Samsung-Google Nexus phone on deal at Best Buy. The website (sorry I cannot post external links) lists this phone as Samsung - Google Nexus S Mobile Phone - Black (AT&T) and comes with a 2-yr contract
I will be in the US for a temp period; my plan is to buy a contract phone and pay the termination fee when I am done with my stay.
I need to ensure that the unit I buy can be used in India when I return.
thanks for your help!
Cheers

As long as you buy a model that is compatible with the network in India you will be fine.

Hi Rem3Dy
thanks for your prompt response.
Would this be true even for the Motorola Atrix which is being sold on ATT website?

Locked
The Nexus S I bought from Best Buy for ATT shows "Locked" in the Bootloader. Is there no unlock mechanism?

this is just the bootloader, this can be unlocked very easily by following the sticky to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery and anything else you wish to do developerlike.

I have not tried to unlock my inq. If you want to purchase a unlock credit with one of the unlock guys and then forward me the info I will see if it can be unlocked and then if it works you can go buy yourself a phone then unlock it. Save yourself having to buy a phone you may not be able to unlock. just an idea. lol

[Q] How to unlock RAZR HD(not developer edition)?

Hey guys,
I want to use my razr hd locked to FIDO in Canada in another carrier, so I want to unlock the device.
Without going to companies that offers unlocking code for like $10, are there any ways to unlock by myself free?
I'm a software developer.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers

Not that I've found. It's worth just spending the $8 imo.

Hi there where can you get the $8 unlock code from?
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2

I got mine from
Ebay for about 7$

I thought you were talking about unlocking the bootloader for a sec (which should be possible with the Fido one).
I also say spend the $8 for the carrier unlock. Got without eating out for a day. Problem solved.
Anyway, I bought a phone locked to AT&T and wanted to use it on Fido/Rogers and I simply called AT&T to get the unlock code. Maybe Fido will do the same? I don't know...

Thread moved. Please post your questions here in Q&A in future.
Thanks

T-Mobile says it's locked. Wal-Mart family plan says it's unlocked and I can use it on att and t mobile. Sigh. Any ideas?

I'm trying to get an unlock code for the same phone. I can't find a service online or Ebay that has the codes for this model.
