I got this phone The AT&T Version of the HOX+ about a month ago off of ebay and I rooted it with no issues. I'm currently on viper ROM and love it.
My service is StragithTalk AT&T and I'm not liking the data anymore as it seems to be getting worse. I was going to move to MetroPCS (Tmobile based 4G Service) but I tried a trial SIM card and it said that my phone was locked.
How do I go about unlocking it? The guy at the MetroPCS store said he had a service that can do it for $40 but I figure I'd ask here before I commit to doing that.
Any ideas?
Thanks all!
You'll have to get a paid unlock there is no free ones out! $40 seems abit expensive but you'll be paying atleast $30 anywhere...

Thanks for the info! I didn't know if the $40 was a fair price or not... I didn't think there was a free way to do it. Once unlocked is it permanent? I would guess so but I figured I’d make sure.

Yeah once your unlocked it is permanent. You can flash roms ect with no issues. If i was you i'd look on ebay for the cheapest unlock methods.

Is it safe to do that sort of thing on ebay? They can't remotely hurt my phone or anything?
Also how would I do that while I have working service? I took the other sim card back, would I need a sim card for another provider to be able to put in the unlock code?
I used eBay to buy unlock codes before and it works. Also cheap.

You'll need another sim. The seller will provide you with an unlock code. Then you put the new sim in. Your phone will tell you your device is sim locked and give you the option to enter your unlock code

Hi there, does anyone know if it's possible to unlock this phone yet? Since the phone is so new, I have absolutely no idea if these codes being sold through eBay will work.
Thanks

They prob will. Just make sure you pay via paypal. Then if anything goes wrong, you have some comeback.

I bought mine through O2 and oddly enough, it was unlocked so I didn't have to get a code. Before I realised it was unlocked though I did try 2 sites for a code, neither had it.
My current HTC Sensation was purchased first day it was released and I had to wait 2 weeks for the codes to become available. I would guess this would be similar.
HTC Sensation w/CMX JB 4.1.2
I do unlock phones for a price. I can run a check with your IMEI number and tell you if it can be unlocked or not and how much it'll cost. Shoot me a PM if you want me to check your IMEI number. I'm a dev and not some shady guy lol
I did try to buy one off eBay but the guy said the phone is on no system at the minute and refunded me. I'm just using a giffgaff sim now which suits me as I was considering paying off my contract early anyway. I'll probably try again in a month.

That hasn't been my experience with them. I just got an unlock code for my old HTC Aria when I got the One X. Just went to their website and used the support chat feature. Now if your phone is subsidized you may have trouble.

I wonder if that was the issue. Because I always have been under contract when trying. Thanks for the heads up.

You might try calling them and telling them you are planning a trip outside the country and need to SIM unlock so you can use a prepaid SIM. That has worked for others in the past.
Good luck!
I SIM unlock phones and they aren't free. I buy and resell the codes. Shoot me your IMEI number, the country and carrier it is locked to in a PM. I'll see if it can be unlocked. If it can be, it will be a bit pricey since they just released a new service for HTC phones.
Need to unlock!!

Just bought the One X+ at a no-commitment price.
AT&T reps online and in the store told me they'd unlock it. But now that I talk to them, they say they cant/wont :/

Talk to hasoon, he should be able to help
I think the main reason you can't unlock your phone is that ATT won't let you unlock it when your using the phone while your on a plan. When you upgrade to a new phone or change phones then you can unlock your old one. Source: experience

Hasoon is a great guy and I'v talked to him.
Unfortunately, he cant help.
I talked to AT&T international (1-800-335-4685). I'v heard they are pretty relaxed about unlocking phones.
Also, I bought mine at the no-commitment price.
The rep on the phone agreed to unlock my X+ and asked for my IMEI#. But after he put it into the system, he said AT&T can't unlock it till May 16th 2013.
I'v heard AT&T tends to do this when it has an exclusive phone.
But this might just be me. You guys should try this and see if it works.
Still no luck ...anyone ?

Hello everybody,
I am thinking of buying a brand new never used One X+ locked to AT&T and bring it down to Uruguay.
Couple of questions:
1) Does anybody know if the device needs to be activated first with an AT&T SIM before I can do anything with it (for example SIM unlocking it)?
2) Are SIM unlock codes for AT&T network for this device easy to find (assuming I am OK in paying a couple of dollars for it)?
3) Which is the best place to get the unlock code?
Thank you all for your help.
It may not be that easy to unlock it.
No it doesn't need to be activated first but since here in the US its now illegal to unlock your phone they may make it more difficult to find unlock codes for their phones

Probably not, if you got to a reputable site they will refund your money if the code doesn't work or if they don't have one for your device

I don't know but mine says the same thing, would like to know too.
The SM-G900T is definitely SIM locked. I ended up just buying the unlock code from CellUnlocker.net and amazingly they were able to get the code on launch day. Yeah, it costs money, but they came through with the code.
Also, lucky for me, since I guess I was one of the first to buy a code for the G900T, I got an email from them saying that they were looking for footage of people unlocking their GS5s, and if I could provide a video showing the full unlock process, entering the code, and activation on another network, they'd refund the purchase price. I don't know if they're still offering that, but I took advantage of it and I did indeed get my full purchase price refunded, so in effect I got my code for free. :good:

The code is $29.99. It's not cheap, but they work. That said, a SIM unlocked phone is definitely worth more on a place like eBay than one that's SIM locked, so it might be worth it.
I've always used cellunlocker when a carrier wouldnt unlock a phone for me, they've never failed me, and once again they came through earlier today with a perfectly working code. They aren't the cheapest but very reliable.
