Seems like a bad link. http://www.discount-unlock.com/Unlock/GSM/3549/HTC/P4550/ works though
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Deathace:
Has anyone actually paid to have theirs unlocked yet? and can confirm it unlocks ok. I do not have a problem paying for my phones to be unlocked if the price isnt silly like the above link, 70 euros nearly to unlock it on T-Mobile UK where everyone else is mostly 30 euros, I know its a new phone and all but **** thats a steep amount to pay.

Understanding SIM unlock behavior

This is my first post so I guess I might as well make it a dumb noob one. I want to make sure I understand SIM unlocks before doing surgery on my new phone so I have a few questions I couldn't find answers to in the Wiki and other threads. Thanks!

1. If I've obtained a SIM unlock code is it uniquely tied to a single phone, or to a specific phone model, or to any phone from that operator?

2. If I intend to both install a different ROM via HardSPL and use the SIM unlock code is the order I do them in important?

3. Is the SIM unlock persistent across future ROM upgrades and other mods?

Thanks and sorry for such boneheaded questions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Deathace:
As I understand it for this particular thread so far the sim unlock is IMEI based and as such makes that unique to your handset only (otherwise everyone would give it out :) ) In regards to most sim unlock programs/services they are unlocked regardless of the rom you use, however some of them do sim lock it again after flashing (where you can just unlock it with the code/program again)

In regards to upgrading at present the cid unlock should be sufficient to change roms without it affecting the sim lock so the order should not matter.

Would not a tool like that which was developed for the Universal work on the Vario III? I believe the unlocking on there was IMEI based as well...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rvdgeer:
Don't count on it!

;)

As far as I know (almost) all SIM locks are IMEI based...

This doesn't mean one SIM unlocker works for all SIM locks...

come on guys, subsidy unlock codes are unique to each imei. it can not be shared/used on different machine~
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jomo25:
Wow, does anyone search any more?

posted this elsewhere and its documented by others all over.

SIM unlock is very easy. And legal. And actually done by AT&T. And essentially free.

Step 1: Call AT&T @ 1-(916)-843-4685, tell them you travel alot internationally. Ask them to to add the "International Dial" add on to your account (it costs like $6/month). (Note: the reason the number is not a 800 number is because it asumes you are calling from an int'l location, since its their int'l support line. 800 numbers don't work from an int'l location. You can even call the normal 800 # or even call 611 from your phone, and you can get routed to the int'l support line. I recommend you call from a separate line, so you can actually type in the unlock code when they give it to you to confirm it "takes" before you hang up. If you have another company SIM card, you can even test it with them on the phone)

Edit: Actually, they do have an 800 number for intl support now also. It's: 1-800-335-4685

Step 2: Tell them you also travel for extended periods of time and might need to use a local SIM in your phone. And you need an unlock code to do it. Since you have the international plan, they almost always will oblige. (if they don't, hang up, call back, get another rep, and ask again. They will eventually do it)

Step 3: They ask for your IMEI number. And they give you an unlock code.

Step 4: Say thanks to them

Step 5: Go online to your account manager, and remove the Int'l Plan on your features page to cancel it. You will only be charged a pro-rated amount for the feature.

Step 6: Enjoy your SIM unlocked phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Penske MB:
What are you talking about? I am a AT&T user and I can call AT&T for unlock code.

Perhaps you might like to "steal" something with no value at it, but put the arrow in other direction plz.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] lorettaboy:
Thanks for the answers guys. I was also wondering if I would be able to flash the tilt with the kaiser rom?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zetajunkie:
of course you can. just read the stickied posts over in upgrading. they will answer all your questions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sirsycho:
Thanks Jomo25... I have actually tried this method before with Cingular (before the AT&T buyout) and got the run around several times, so I was just curious about this one user's experience. I am very familiar with the search function but had a specific question for this member.

FWIW, Cingular's explanation to me when I tried this previously was to just enable the international calling plan so I could roam internationally at discounted rates, they did not want to give me an unlock code (and the rep I spoke to was either playing dumb about what an unlock code is or was instructed to avoid the topic).

I haven't tried since the AT&T buyout so I'll give it a shot again and see what happens.

Cheers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cliffgardner:

Hi Guys,

Got a Kaiser from orange last week. when i installed cooked onto the device, im getting a sim lock program saying that the network is locked, plerase input the unlock code.

whats gone wrong?

Aaron
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thomassster:
orange probably locked your phone. I'm guessing you are using a non orange sim card? You gotta try to find someone who'll unlock it for you. AT&T sent me an unlock code for my device. Not sure if orange is the same.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thomassster:
yes...if you are eligible, at&t will give you an unlock code to use sim cards in india. cid unlock to load another rom. you are correct.

Orange sim AND phone locked

I got locked out after trying to run the original HTC ROM. Quite happy with it -praying for every seconds. It works just fine apart from locking me out from the network. Same problem as Aaron's first post.

Rang Orange yesterday after signing up for the contract, they said unlock code wont be released until ur 12wks into the contract:eek: , at the cost of 20quid plus 10 days waiting. :(

Aaron, what did you tell them on the phone?

Besides I really want the original HTC interface/ROM. Much cleaner, less space on the storage memory and seems faster. So I'd rather stick with it. Just the phone function is f***ed.

Plus Orange doesnt offer anything close to Tmob regarding internet usage. Besides it always connects onto the 3G without letting me disable this function. :mad:

Any genious advice? This is a great forum. Thanks.

Three Verified SIM unlock techniques...

All,

If you have ordered an AT&T Tilt, and want to use it on a NON AT&T network, there are at least three VERIFIED and simple methods for SIM unlocking your phone.

Do not confuse SIM unlock (ability to use non AT&T SIM Card) with CID unlock (ability to run non AT&T ROM).

Below are the three techniques I was able to successfully confirm as working. YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE. I am just summarizing different techniques which are confirmed as working for folks trying to find a SIM unlock solution for their phone.

Method A - Call AT&T International customer service: 1(916)-843-4685 - When you call they WILL ask you for your AT&T phone number. I used a friends phone number and account information (with his permission) and they gave me an unlock code after about 3 minutes of being on hold. They were very friendly and there was NO CHARGE.

Method B - Donate to this forum and get an unlock code from tupisdin, many folks have done this with success and no complications.

Method C - Use www.cell-unlock.com : Pay a $25 fee via PayPal and recieve your code within 24 hours. I used this before calling AT&T and recieved the same unlock code (as I would expect) as AT&T gave me.

I've had my Tilt running on T-Mobile for a little over a week now and am very pleased with it compared to my old MDA.
