Has anyone had any success unlocking a T-Mobile UK Vario 2 with IMEI-check.co.uk ...
According to them, although my Vario 2 says its radio version 1.05.05 they say its 1.07.07 and the unlocker does not work..
Any ideas? its 630 model - have had it a week

how long are you on contract with t-mobile? if more than month, then you can unlock directly from t-mobile for only GBP 15.00. check out wiki.
but...
yes , i phoned them , i neeed to wait 1 month.. problem is I needed it done ASAP due to travl commitments and a large fear of GPRS roaming bills

I had the same problem with the imei-check program. Didn't know that t-mobile would unlock after 1 month! that's good news. bearing in mind the labyrinthine process you have to go through on the 150 number before you get to a human being do you know which sequence of numbers you need to use in the menu?

yeah, all these options under 150 are driving me crazy everytime i call them. :/ they really should change it, or assign one single digit to connect straight to advisors. i found out some shortcut, i have written in down on a paper, but i have it at home (now i'm at work). sorry

you need to contact them and request it, you might need to pay as well
I assume that having 3 means you bought them elsewhere than on contract?
Or do you have 3 contracts?
You also said Athena, not Ameo. I thought the Athena was unlocked already?
Can you clarify the situation a little please?

nope said Ameo and it is T-Mobile locked yet bought from ebay i am in Russia need them for local use
so anyway i can unlock it i am willing to pay..

i think you also needs to be the original owner of Ameo inorder to unlock it. I have bough a T-mobile MDA PRO from ebay before as well, and the only way to unlock it officially is to get the owner to call them and get the code for me.
Anyone have any ideas on how to unlock this phone?

The Mozart I received from Telstra did not come carrier locked. It's my understanding that no WP7 handsets can be locked by the carrier, though this might just be a Telstra thing.

All the UK WP7 handsets are carrier locked, except the HD7 (as the carrier which has it provides SIM free handsets).
I successfully SIM unlocked my Orange HTC Mozart with one of the 3rd party online services within 20 minutes. Search the web.

Maybe its all those anti-competative names Telstra have been hit with over the last few years that has turned them around. Or maybe they just haven't figured it out yet.
Hopefully should be getting one of these phones today, just wanted to know if I had room to move. Cheers guys. I'll let you know how it goes.
Correct, Telstra aren't SIM Locking any phones anymore.
Hey guys thanks for the responses.
We got the first of the phones already and can confirm that they are indeed unlocked.
is there any difference between unlocking the phone from Orange UK and from web based unlocking people?
any idea about cost involved in either case?

he did unlock mine
the guy's name is secany on this forum
so u can send him a private message
Actually, don't have to PM me to check. You can check your phone can be unlock or not here:
http://www.nckzone.com/htc/index.php
Just type in your 15 digits IMEI and check, if it says Supernew records, then you can phone be unlock by "some" (NOT ALL) online service, I recommend here
http://www.nckzone.com , price is cheaper than other and most important is code comes in <5 mins.
If it says "No HTC tool is available for your IMEI" then you have to wait for about a week or two then try again.
Thanks Secany appearing on the horizon
I checked on the website mentioned secany and message appeared ""No HTC tool is available for your IMEI". But I found on this forum that Mozart can be unlocked. any body got mozart unlocked?
Like I say, some Mozart will give result supernew records, those units can be unlock right now.
How / Where / Who can Unlock the SGII from networks like O2 etc in UK ?
O2 will unlock after 12 months otherwise you have to wait until unlocking is worked out after the phone has been launched .

I work for o2 and as long as it is a contract phone and not pay as you go, you can unlock it anytime by either completing the online form (google o2 'unlockmyiphone') or by calling customer services and requesting them to fill out the form for you. It can take up to 14days for you to receive the code.
Failing that, there are numerous IMEI unlocking websites online who will send the code within 24hours for a small fee.

I am presuming that it will not need unlocking to use a Giffgaff network sim as its part of O2 .
Three O2 shops today no stock and no idea if they will receive stock for launch 1st may .

You could use a Rebel Simcard. It's not the best solution but it definately does the job. I used one on my Dell Streak when they were exclusive to O2.
I take it you're getting it as an upgrade direct from O2?
If not open a contract with O2 through Phones4U and you'll get an unlocked device

It is £399 with O2 but will probably be locked
I also asked a popular online unlocking firm what the chances are of unlocking this handset and this was their reply:
This should be no problem at all. That's because there's one main database for all European Samsung Android handsets. We have unlocked the Samsung Galaxy S from all 6 main UK networks.

I don't know if the database will work for SGS II. Anyone know?
I have no previous contract, so just buy o2 payg £399 & unlock £15? (Total=£414)
Why would anyone pay £499 unlocked ?

Because at this stage, nobody is really sure that the 'unlock £15' part of the process will indeed work You could end up with a phone that will not currently work on the sim you may have ( I do understand you have no contract, so if you are happy with O2 payg, fill yer boots).

My Vodafone HD2 came unlocked - that wasn't the problem. The killer was that because it was a Vodafone phone, it could only take updates from Vodafone, and their updates came months after the unbranded ones. Once the Devs got HSPL all sorted out then it wasn't so much of a problem, but that didn't happen overnight.
So be aware - it's not just the network locking that's an issue when you buy a phone from a network.

Thanks for the heads up. I think O2 don't mess around with their handsets. Only Orange, T-Mobile & Vodafone.

This was the same with the first batch of O2 HD2's only accepting O2 specific updates which they changed after the second batch went out as were getting too many complaints. Hopefully they've learned from this and will allow standard manufacturer updates from the start. This wasn't due to particular messing around it was due to the serial numbers being registered with the manufacturer as not being generic therefore updates were refused by them. I doubt Samsung are quite as good as HTC with the regular updates but always good to know you can update when it's available.

Here's a response I received from a query I made of an eBay seller in relation to unlocking the SGS2...
"This is GUARANTEE TO WORK because this code is directly from Samsung and it is permanent. After you unlocked it, you can do software update or anything you like and it will still be unlocked."
Sounds promising...
It does but would like to know for sure before buying.

you say it can take 14 days for the code to arrive...is that normal or is it usually quicker?
Successful unlock?
Did anyone hear about any successful SGS2 unlock?
I also read in some places that when you buy PNG from O2 it is SIM free. This was the case when I bought an iPhone 4 when it came out. It was SIM free out of the box.
just either get CPW to price match which they are supposedly doing at £399, or waith two weeks as they are goint to that price soon.
This is very stupid from me but as with the SGS, would it be possible to retrieve the bml3.bak file and unlock?
I'm just assuming samsung is using the same method of hiding the Network Control Key.. maybe they're lazy..

Has anyone been able to full unlock their phone and also reboot and have the unlock stick without having to reenter the code? I tried unlockthatphone.com and no success. It is always asking me to reeneter every time i reboot and its freaking annoying :/
Yes. I got my code from htcimeiunlock.com.
However I believe people when they say they are experiencing this issue. It seems there truly is a batch of Titans with some issue such that unlock codes don't work the way they should.

That's a common 'issue' on all WP7 phones. You need to download a HTC specific app (HTC Apps->Connection Setup) to switch the network profile to T-Mobile.

Bought it from phone.market, the cheapest guy on there ... After I paid via Paypal, I use the little apps in the auction page and input my IMEI and phone #. They just send me the code via SMS within 30 secs.

Then, you are SOL. MMS configuration is not exposed in WP7 and the only ways to change them are either via ADC or specific apps from manufacturer. For carrier locked phones, ADC is typically turned off. That leaves you only one way to configure/switch it.

No, I called and get the similar answer which is what I expected. Basically all new phones from A&T have so called exclusive period. Typically it is 10-month from the release day. But past experience told me you can typically call in before that. I'd expect Titan unlock code will be available around summer (around july). If you want free unlock code, that's the only way.
Hey guys,
As the title of the thread mentions I need some help for that. I am leaving in 2 days home and then my phone would be useless!
A working help will be refunded by 5$ donation via paypal (withhin 1 week need to transfer the money first to there)
Thanks!!

Just call the AT&T international support number and they will give you the code for free assuming the phone is clean.. There are links to the number as well as chat that takes less than a minute all over the 20 or so unlock threads all ready here.

Then who is your phone branded by? You should be able to put the IEMI number into Google and get back info on it. If it is not AT&T then you will have to go with one of the unlocking services that will charge you to do it and could take a few minutes to a few days.
