Unlocking HTC phones are probably the easiest phones to unlock.  After getting your unlock code, you simply insert a non-accepted SIM card (Ex. T-mobile SIM card in a Rogers HTC phone) and it will prompt you for the unlock code.   Enter the unlock code and hit enter. Begin your roaming freedom by getting your unlock code.

You can search for your HTC unlock code through our main page.

After watching the evolution and expansion of unlock codes companies, it seemed “impossible” for companies to find a real method to unlock Nokia phones locked to AT&T.  We are proud to say that we have discovered a proven method to unlock AT&T Nokia (BB5) phones.

The most popular cellphone unlock codes include the Nokia E71x, Surge 6790, Mural 6750 and the Nokia 6555.

Cellfservices in Afghanistan - Roaming Free

With hundreds of people participating in our free Blackberry unlock code giveaway – “Tweet for a Treat”, I guess you could say, was a great success!  With a final number of 514 unlock codes given for free, or $11,302.86 worth of unlock codes, we are happy to have satisfied so many people’s needs.  On July 4, 2009, we blogged an entry called Cellfservices Wireless Usage and Roaming Survey – Are we Ripping Ourselves Off? which explained how North American users are allowing themselves to get destroyed by carrier roaming fees.  From our promotional giveaway, it seemed like the majority of people just wanted their phone unlocked because it was free, while others wanted to unlock their phones to increase the monetary value of their Blackberry on the grey market.

Ladies and gentlemen: we are desperately hoping that you will take advantage of your unlocked Blackberry when you are traveling internationally.  Even traveling for 4-7 days once a year is worth significantly more than an unlock code valued at $56.99.  The most common misconception of unlocking your phone is – “the greatest benefit of unlocking your phone that it allows you to use your favorite phone on your favorite network.”  Although that may be a benefit to some, the beauty is when you’re roaming.  Let’s use one of our clients as an example.  Here is an e-mail I received on July 7, 2009.

Hello Sam!

I just wanted to say thank you for the unlock code and educating me on what it is for.  My trip to Germany was fantastic!  My brother took me to a T-mobile (Germany) store as you instructed and I picked up a prepaid SIM card.  My local friends were able to contact me on my NEW local German number and I passed on the number to my wife back in Miami.  VERY COOL!  I did a rough calculation and I saved about $200-$250 while I was there!  I sent out a mass e-mail to my work colleagues and some friends as well about your services.  If there’s anything I can do for you, just let me know!  If you’re ever visiting Miami, please give me a call.  My wife runs a restaurant along the beach and we will be more than happy to treat you anytime.

Stay in touch,

Jamie

One of my favorite things to do is to read forums and try to help answer members questions.  As I’m sure many of you can relate, forums are an excellent way of getting your questions answered.

Today, I was reading on cellphoneforums.net and I came across a question that I absolutely love answering…and since I love the question so much, I thought it would be a great opportunity to write about it on my own blog.

What caught my eye first is the title…

Please help me with some unlock questions!

If that isn’t a desperate cry for some help, I don’t know what is….The question started off with “My current carrier is Verizon. I really want to use the LG lg255, but it is only offered to AT&T. Is there any way to unlock the phone or something to use it on Verizon? Thanks.”

And of course, the readers here should know that the answer is….no! Finally it led to my favorite question…

Then what does “unlocking” a phone do?

Here is my response…always a new way to say it, but the same message…

I would love to answer this question in short, but it’s difficult to do.

Seeing that you’re on Verizon, it makes it difficult because the only Verizon phones that can be unlocked are the Blackberry World series. Seeing that you want to use a phone from a different network (AT&T) and use it on Verizon, as mentioned above, it is not possible.

To go further into GSM (AT&T) vs. CDMA (Verizon), in short, GSM uses SIM cards while Verizon uses an ESN number.

With GSM phones, you do not need the carrier’s permission to use a phone. You can technically use any GSM phone and your carrier will never know that you swiched your phone – locked or unlocked.

With CDMA phones, you need to call in and let them know the ESN number. If the ESN number is not in their database, they will not activate the phone for you. For example, if you happened to like a Sprint phone and want to use it on Verizon, you will not be allowed to. As soon as the representative finds out that the phone does not belong to them, they will let you know that they cannot activate it.

Now to the longer, yet more informative part.

There are several advantages to unlocking your phone. First the summary…

#1.) You can use any GSM phone on any network — Ex. If you’re with AT&T and you absolutely love their bold, but found a better rate plan at T-mobile, you can take your bold, get it unlocked, and use it on the T-mobile network.

#2.) It increases the value of your phone significantly when you plan to sell or resell your phone. What a lot of people are doing these days is purchasing a cell phone on E-bay or other classifies (locked to whichever carrier), they unlock it, and sell it for a hundred bucks + from their purchase price. Not a bad side job if you know what you’re doing. It pays off when your unlock code only costs $20 doesn’t it?

#3.) The most important….Unlocking your phone has the potential to eliminate all roaming fees. Let’s get a grasp of roaming first.

Let’s use the wikipedia definition.

Quote:

In wireless telecommunications, roaming is a general term that refers to the extending of connectivity service in a location that is different from the home location where the service was registered.

In layman’s terms, once you leave the country, or your servicing area, you will begin roaming. To better illustrate this, if you are a US resident on AT&T, if you go to Canada, the friendly little AT&T text at the top of your phone will change to Rogers Wireless, or vice versa. Carriers have roaming partners and contracts where they can both benefit and make great cash off of end users, like all of us.

Getting to the beauty of unlocking your phone….

Let’s use the above example of an AT&T user traveling to Canada on business, to see family, you name it. Everyone has their reasons for traveling. After unlocking your phone, your phone has freedom and more power (not literally)! Rather than using your SIM card when traveling, you simply walk into one of the thousands of Rogers or Fido stores (the 2 Canadian GSM providers) and activate a prepaid SIM card. You will be given a local # in the city of travel and can load as much or as little as you’d like.

The biggest complaint we get is that people don’t like giving out 2 numbers to the people who need to reach them. There are 3 solutions to this problem.

#1.) Forward your primary carrier’s number to your new number. Of course there are fees to this, so it’s something you’ll have to duke out with your carrier.

#2.) Temporarily change your voice mail, stating your new number to call for emergency, pleasure or whatever your purpose is.

#3.) Suck it up and deal with a new temporary number – you’ll still have your original number as well, you probably won’t be using it though.

If at this point, you don’t understand how you can actually save money, I’ll let my blog posting talk. We published an article on our blog entitled “Cellfservices Wireless Usage and Roaming Survey – Are we ripping ourselves off?”. This will explain to you the long term and short term savings of unlocking your phone.

So that’s my poor excuse for a simple and short answer to your question.

Hope that helps!

These days, I’ve been getting several recurring questions related to unlocking or unlock codes. I thought that my blog would be the best way to help others answer these questions.  Today’s question of the day is from an Ottawa resident.

Q:  just wanted to thank you for the unlock code, but i have one more questions. Do you guys have a service to provide the MSL passwords? I need to  remove the activation required and change the “my number” to my actual number…any help would be great – s.b.

A:  I have found some sites out there that try to charge you for an MSL password, but it is indeed free.   First, I want to say…”Google is your best friend”.  I did a little research and came across the answer on one of my favorite forums – Crackberry Forums.

Hannelas Nicolas provided the following information in a thread….

“Telus Storms have each different codes. Thus ##000000 will not work.

Here are the procedure you will need to do to eliminate Activation Required.

Obtain these two programs:

1. uniCDMA
2. Hexworkshop

1. Install your blackberry desktop manager and plug in your storm.

2. Run desktop manager

3. Minimize DM and run uniCDMA

4. Select “Qualcomm” under the mode drop menu

5. Click setup and change the port to com4

6. Click read all and it should fill in the boxes on the left with your blackberry information

7. Click memory and change the starting address to 0×17c47cce and length to 524288. Click read and save to file.

8. Now open Hexworkshop and open the file you just created.

9. In the right box you will see a 6 digit number. That is your MSL password.

10. Unplug your blackberry and call ##XXXXXX (XXXXXX is the MSL password) Press Send

11. Change the Mobile Directory Number to you 10 digit cell number.

12. Press Menu then close and it will reset your phone and you are good to go.”

Note: You must have the original OS from Telus installed.

Thank you for the useful information!  You’ve helped a ton of people .  Big ups to you!
