Mediapad/Tahiti Sim Unlock - Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard

Is there any way to remove the simlock on the devices without contacting a provider or paying through the nose online?
I have a Virgin Mobile Unlimited Data SIM and would like to use it in my Mediapad.
Cheers in advance.

TV using non Virgin SIM.

Guys,
If I was to activate the TV sub with a virgin SIM, and then swap it out to use my TMobile SIM would I still be able to use the TV function while the TMobile SIM is in there until the 30 days runs out?
Thanks
Dave.

I don't have TV coverage in my area to check it out but from what I've heard you only need the virgin SIM to activate the subscription. Might actually work out cheaper to keep buying a new PAYG SIM and get the 90 initial trial, £10 for three months as opposed to £15 + a SIM (they do come with £5 calling credit still don't they?) that you can sell on to anyone who doesn't use the Lobster 700TV.
TV on non Virgin SIM
YES I do it at the moment with Orange SIM after unlocking via Virgin.
BUT you'll have to insert Virgin SIM every 30 days to renew TV licence.
No TV license update.
Well I unlocked mine, used Vodafone sim,replaced with Virgin to update license but no go!
Entered into explorer address bar Virgin sms my friend had sent.
www.mobiletvportal.co.uk/vm/index.asp?go=nextfile.asp
But it says I have a blocked ip address.Could it be because phone unlocked?
could i please have the unlock code for the lobster ive looked everywhere

[Q] going to france... can i use my TMOUS there? provider?

hi guys,
I'm going to France to visit my family this Friday and so I'm thinking of using my HD2 which is a TMOUS model.
My plan is to buy a prepaid sim card with some credit so I can call friends and family while there.
so I'm guessing it's going to work because the difference between the Leo and Leo US is only the size of the RAM, right?
All providers are using GSM 900/1800 and WCDMA 2100 frequencies, is there anything I need to be wary about?
also if any of you can recommend a provider and why, I'd be grateful
thanks in advance
welcome to France
1) make sure your HD2 is SIM unlocked ... if not, no prepaid card will fit your device
2) regarding providers: "les loups ne se mangent pas entre eux" French saying = "wolves don't eat each other" - prepaid card are more expensive than monthly fee which is normal - coverage of the 3 French providers (Orange / SFR / Bouygues) is similar, others are only retailers ... SO ... choose the cheapest!
3) be careful with the data connections if there's no unlimited plan with the prepaid card

Haha you're getting me worried about the unlocking thing now lol
I'm running a custom win rom and android all the time so how do I know if my phone is unlocked? (although I assume it is)
Anyway I'll probably just take the cheapest and pass on the 3g
Thx for the input and don't worry I understand french btw :>

CID unlock that allows you to flash any ROM is DEFINITELY NOT SIM unlock
if your phone is branded TMobile = big chances it's SIM lock and accepts ONLY TMobile SIM cards (try it with a friend's SIM card who's not registered TMobile and you'll know)
I successfully SIM unlocked an HTC HD2 via http://www.htccode.com/ for something like US $ 20
cheers

Like Lpubv says, you need first Unlock your device to use another SIM Card!
I Know that you can unlock it free by using a goldcard method, but i can't remeber where i seen it!
Moreover it should works cause he's note like the EVO he runs "normal'' network! But i cannot be sure because i never tested it!
Yea I knew my phone was not unlocked so I requested the code directly from t-mobile which I got the day after.
What happened (or actually didn't happen) is that my phone never requested the unlock code when I rebooted with a different SIM card. And so I've never been able to unlock it. Is the unlock process only enabled with stock roms?

to nks2105:
it's NOT ONLY inserting another SIM card ...
it's inserting another SIM card from a different provider!
if you already did this and was not requested to insert a code = big chances your phone be SIM unlocked
anyway ... if you have your TMobile code with you ... no problem ... you won't get stuck!
to G-ThGraf:
unlock with GoldCard???
can you please make a small effort for me ... and remember?
I don't really need to SIM unlock my phone, BUT just for the fun I'd like to be able to do it ... and as I never saw that info ... I'm tremendously curious ...
Yea I guess you're right it has to be a SIM card from a different carrier but that's what I did, I put a SIM card from SFR but still nothing happened

Where to get free unlock codes or to go bring it into a location to get unlocked

Does anyone know where I can get free unlock codes for my AT&T Jetstream tablet?
Does anyone know of a location to bring my AT&T Jetstream tablet into in the NYC & NNJ areato get it unlocked. Please help.
what do you want to unlock? SIM, bootloader, ???
If you plan to travel and need to change the SIM, call AT&T customer service they will give you the SIM unlock code.
If you want to unlock the bootloader and change the Kernel and/or ROM go to htcdev.com and unlock.
I did it in eBay for $3 (SIM-unlock)

I need to borrow a Sim card from someone so I can unlock the Sim. I was told that will prompt me to enter a code to unlock it. Will ANY Sim work? Even if it is a Nextel Sim card?

Any sim will work-inserting it will prompt you for a code. But to get the code, you need to get the unlock code from either AT&T or use online sim unlock sites.
Regarding the borrow part, you can just use your regular mobile's sim to unlock it. However I think there was a thread that had something about some changes with the data and stuff with AT&T happening on removing the sim. Read it up and make sure to get AT&T's help once you change your sim back to their's after whatever use you intend to do.

What do you mean aboutbchanges with the data? If I will be using another carrier then what do I care about AT& T's data changes?

I thought you might be going back to AT&T. Hence. Any case if you plan on shifting permanently, just go ahead.

What I would be hoping for now that I have gotten my HTC Jetstream Tablet SIM Unlocked, is that CLEAR comes out with SIM Cards. CLEAR has Modems, Hotspots, and USB Hotspots. They should come out with SIM Cards now since there are a LOT more devices that can use them for just the reason of why people get the Mobile Hotspots.

Will phone root remove any blockades on SIM cards by carriers?

Hello. Unfortunately, I have some unpaid bills for my HTC device that I bought from my carrier, and we're bound by contract, so they locked my sim card, and now I can't call and recieve calls. If I root my phone, can I remove this blockade, so that I can use other SIM cards from other carriers? I assume there's some hidden software that allows them to block my phone from networks?
as i understand they block you number not the device.
if you have try other sim cards and they don't work what i can think is that they block the device with the IMEI but this happen after request of client if the phone get stolen.
if they do that to you and block the IMEI dude change country :laugh:
but for sure the block the sim card. so pay the bills to use that number again
It's actually deviced blocked from using any sim cards, and after unpaid bills they blocked the sim card aswell. And as I understand, there's probably some software inside a phone that is not visible, or as you said IMEI is blocked, can that be unblocked by rooting the phone? Yeah, well, I will not pay them bills for now, I'm just trying a way to remove this blockade so I can use another sim card and have network.

thats why i asked you if you have already tried another sim card. if others sim cards works then they block only the sim card, which is more common thing they do. if they block the imei which isnt software is a unick id for this device , then rooting the phone can help to change the imei with imei of another old device you have but this is very tricky if you dont know how to do it.
Yes, I have tried another sim card... and when you buy a phone with a contract through a carrier, it lasts 2 years, and in those 2 years you can't use another sim card, just the one from their network. So, yeah, they blocked IMEI then. Now I just wish I knew how to root the device and change the imei. You know any good guides for it?
edit: There is some online service specially for HTC phones unlock, they said they can remove this blockade with the code they send me. But I'm afraid to not waste money if the code won't remove it. Because they told me they're making official network unlock on HTC server, not on my local server, so official factory permanent unlock.
I don't trust those services. as for root here at xda there are programs to root your phone instead of change rom. as kingroot. also at YouTube are videos how to change imei. I haven't try them. so be carefull when you do that.
I have checked if my IMEI is blacklisted, and it's not, it's clean... so only SIM card of my carrier is locked then. Because when I insert SIM card it says "SIM card is locked", and when I insert SIM card from another carrier it says "Network is locked".
I think is easier to unlock the network. but again I don't know how. never happend to me and I answer you after my research. practical I haven't try any of methods that are around the internet.

Unlocking a prepaid Verizon LG V60 while abroad

Hi,
Is there any way to unlock a prepaid Verizon LG V60 while abroad ?
The phone is not asking for a network unlock code
so inserting your overseas sim card, it doesn't say any thing? and when trying to make a call, it doesn't ask for unlock code?
maybe try factory reset and hope the tmobile verizon app appears again... i believe it's a software lock. and once there is a way to flash other roms, then that might help.

Usually only the AT&T version is the one that asks for a code. Other will have to be remotely unlocked.
ok cos i think my tmobile one asked for unlock code, but my friend did it for me, so not sure. if only we could flash new unlocked rom from another region.

May I know if the verizon unlocked your phone? (While abroad and not connected on verizon network), If yes, did it follow the 60days unlock policy? Thanks in advance for your answer.
