PeanuckleJive Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 What phone? I bought a code to unlock my old blackberry off ebay for a few quid, got it emailed to me instantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7up_elise Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Will this work on an EMEI code to on my N95's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Anyone done it? Or know good sites? billx I tried it once, for my blackberry storm. I had to ring a number and follow the voice prompts, after about 5 mins it finally read out a number to type in, which, surprise surprise....didn't work. Best off going to a shop and getting it done, costs about £10 usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Not possible online. Take it to a dodgy market stall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Sorry to dig this up again but I've just bought an HTC Wildfire (well, I say bought, it only cost me £9.97) but it's locked to Tesco. I'm tempted to give giffgaff a go but would need to unlock the phone first. Is it possible to get the unlock code without going through one of these dodgy online/ebay places? Would HTC direct be able to provide the number? Also, while I'm on the subject, has anyone had any experience of giffgaff? Only just come across it and it seems almost too good to be true... Any thoughts?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't think many providers will do it (especially immediately after buying the phone). But there are loads of places online who charge between £11 and £25 to apparently access the HTC database and get hold of the unlock code for you. But where do they get their access from?

Any thoughts?! Someone asked the same question on a dodgy forum i'm on yesterday: Can get code for you mate. Will try the old DB first which will be £8. If not available then will be £18 from new Database this may interest you too Debranding is easy, create a GoldCard micro SD then run the HTC generic update. http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/ http://rapidshare.com/files/424855686/RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe The ebay/online places aren't that dodgy, I've used them for all my phones.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Cheers for that. Might just do one of the eBay places then. The phone was so cheap I may as well pay £11 to unlock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 How did you get it for 9.97? please can you get me one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 How did you get it for 9.97? please can you get me one? I keep telling myself that it was £9.97... the rest was paid for by doubled up Tesco vouchers which in turn were 'paid for' by spending probably £5k on furniture and stuff for our new house. So yeah, £9.97. Honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick_spider Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Both Tesco and Giffgaff piggyback on O2, so you shouldn't need to unlock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I'd read that but didn't know if it'd still need to be unlocked or not. Will try the Giffgaff sim when it arrives. Anyone used Giffgaff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yep - pretty happy with it so far. Damn... finally got the sim registered, topped up with £5 and bought a £10 'goodybag' and it appears that although my phone is not locked and can phone and text through Giffgaff no problems, the APN data settings are locked to tesco. I've added a new APN setup with all the Giffgaff settings but the Tesco ones can't be modified or deleted and I can't access the interweb without a WLAN. Will try phoning Tesco tomorrow t osee what they say but are there any otehr suggestions out there?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the Tesco APNs are locked in, is it not possible to add your own and just select the new ones as preference? Usually just press the radio button to the right of the APN profile in the APN list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
