And thanks for this forum for new romsssss
If you buy a phone from T-Mobile without a contract you always get the Netlock code for free.
If you got a phone as an upgrade you need to be convincing on the phone, AFAIK I have so far never paid the 99 Euro for the unlock code...

i'll try this.. its my first phone and contract with t-mobile.. but... well i'll see.. i hope, i can unlock my phone for free too..
99 euros for the code??? does anyone pay that much??
i need to pay 68 euro's in the netherlands for KPN, i want to use my t-mobile sim card, but no way i'm gonna pay 68 euro's to use my phone.
I tried to call t-mobile if they can help it, i'm a t-mobile custommer for over 3 years, but they couldn't do anything about it. I hope it's possible for free soon
Hi, i am living in tokyo now and i would like to buy a ws003sh to use it as a pda (read: without w-sim and without willcom contract)
I dont want to use it as a phone, just as a wifi pda.
Because 2 weeks ago, i signed a contract with softbank and i am not willing to pay other useless money to have another useless phone number
If i buy an used ws003sh, it will work without sim and contract?
For example, the softbank's x01ht (from htc) will "brick" after some time without a sim inserted
ok, i bought it last month, it works fine without w-sim inserted
i want to unlock my phone, because i live in indonesia, that indonesia dont have tmobile

Why not just buy one there? I have an unbranded Asian version from Malaysia that was Sim unlocked already and it didnt have the T-Mobile bloatware on it
been looking for a good and cheap unnlocking website for a while but no success so far:|
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. In order to be eligible, the subscriber must complete 40 days of active service. Please submit a new request 40 days after this subscriber was activated.

However keep in mind that if you're in a different country the SIM network unlock code will not work, it would only work if you're still within T-Mobile's network coverage.

Huh? That is what the unlock is for, to use your phone with a different countries network when there is no tmobile network. I do this when I go on vacation.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

You will not get 3G/4G on AT&T with the T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G.

That is correct but I just called t-mobile to ask for unlocking my HTC Sense 4G yesterday and today I received an email from the Unlock Dept saying that they could not process my request for unlock right now because I had requested to unlock once within the past 90 days...bla bla bla...and please call us back 90 days after the last day you requested. I don't understand why t-mobile policy prohibit unlock requests within 90 days like that. I doesn't make sense at all. I would suggest to unlock your phone, or in my case the HTC Sense 4G, @ other unlock websites for $6.49 with REALLY NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

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.
Sorry if this has been discussed previously, had a quick search and need answer asap as I leave the states for south america next week.
So just my luck I dropped my nexus 5 last night and shattered the screen. Dont have time to order another screen and fix it (again..) so need a new phone asap. Seeing as I cant get a nexus 6 a Z3 would do until I am back home in New Zealand next year and can get a N6.
Problem is I am in Honolulu (will be in Miami for a couple of days before leaving the USA) and I forgot how backwards mobile carriers are over here if I just want to buy a phone outright (cost is not so much of an issue right now).
I went to T mobile as I saw you can buy a Z3 for $630 but then I remembered it will be sim locked which will stop me using it through south america/central america and back home in NZ. Is there anyway around this? ie does rooting and flashing the international firmware get around this? Is this even possible? Or alternatively, do any of the other carriers sell unlocked or international version Z3's?
Excuse my ignorance it just has been a long time since I had to deal with carriers locking phones.
Thanks for any help!
You have to wait 45 days from activation to get an unlock.
Hello. I am Emmanuel. I bought s8+ at Utah. With t-mobile carrier. And I did it with the installment plan. I haven't finished paying But will travel to Africa. And this is my only phone. There is no t-mobile service there. So was wondering if there was a way to unlock it. Before I left. :angel:
Yeah pay them to unlock it ?
Good luck with that. You buy a phone on installments and want it unlocked in the first month..... Pay for the phone, then can you can do what you like with it.
Go to http://www.cellunlocker.net/ Been getting my devices unlocked there as they are all tied to the provider who needs at least 2 weeks and 50 bucks to unlock
