Hi there people,
I'm from Australia and I have a Jasjam that seems to be locked to Telstra, when I use my Optus sim I get a msg from optus saying that this phone is blocked from the Optus Network. Am I right to assume it is locked to Telstra? If so how do I unlock it?
Thank You
see the sticky in the hermes upgrading section
Tried the Sim and Super CID Unlocker but still doesn't seem to work... could I possibly be doing it wrong?
either its stolen or you just cant follow instructions.
I know that the jasjam I got wasnt locked toTelstra, neither was my brothers and he got his almost a year later through work. Try a Telstra and/or Vodaphone sim to see if you can use... Then if it still doesn't work (especially with Telstra sim) hunt down who you bought it from and get your cash back cos it sounds suspiciously like it may be stolen.
Cheers...

Hey guys,
I finally got my P3600 send over from Europe ... (none branded HTC Version... so no Vodafone Lock or so) However, if I insert my German SIM it will be recognized, but if I do the same with my NewZealand Vodafone Prepaid it jsut tells me that there isn't any SIM inserted Both Sims work fine with my German Nokia so I am not sure what the problem is.
Does anybody have a similar problem or know how to fix this?
help really appreciated

Hi rodpacker
Welcome to the short list of members with a P3600 in NZ
Unfourtunatley I can't help you at the moment, I have a VFNZ OnAccount SIM that works fine, I guess I could try out my missus PrePaid SIM if you still can't get it to work after a couple of retries.
If you live in Auckland you could rock into CoolMobile or ETown, they were selling P3600's for a while and may have come across issues with PrePaid SIMs.
Not that it would make any difference, but do you have a SIM2 or older SIM card, and what size KB is it? Also I presume you have credit on it....
I had a similar problem when attempting to use my old China Mobile SIM, and got it sorted by getting the later version SIM card.
hm, good to hear that there is some others
I got a vodafone prepaid I bought like two months ago....Not sure which version it is. It says 128k and 3G on it. Does that tell u guys anything?
thanx heaps for ur help...
and jep I am in Auckland. Although got two p3600's and gonna sell one of em soon ... brand new!
How much where they when they were sold over here?
cheers
Rodpacker
tried another prepaid .... still no luck
last night I thought I might have to unlock my phone and it wasn't unlocked as I thought, however after ur message concerning NZ SimCards I doublechecked again and after using a German Medion Simcard, that worked I tried a UK O2 prepaid and that worked as well...I even got roaming going...So I guess I can save myself the hazzle of reunlocking the device...
Now could u maybe give me some more hints on the problem with NZ Vodafone Simcards?
thanx

Hi rodpacker
A 128k 3G SIM should work. Have you tried your new SIM in another phone to make sure it's not a dud?
The P3600's were going for around $1200-1300 (NZD). Not sure why they stopped selling them (maybe because they wern't selling ). I got mine imported from the states for $800NZD delivered in box with warranty, so that's what you would be competing with to sell your spare.
jep card is working in my other phone atm ...
thanx for the price info...
good to know. Still busy skinning mine with the iphone skin and ipod player...since touchFlow isn't out for our model yet... will go to those shops u were talking about tomorrow
cheers

Hi Rodpacker,
Sorry for my english..
about your problem, I remember a forum with a boy with similar problem...Can you try to speak about your (NZ) vodafone customer service. If i remember well the cust.serv unblocked a sim...
If I have not understand your problem, sorry
Bye
I think I'm about the only one who actually bought a P3600 retail in NZ, at the time it would have cost more to get it in from overseas...
But I'm probably not much help, my SIM is also on account - and is an ancient one as well! Was one of the original SIMs before the days of SIM2...
What radio version does your one have on it? Go to Start->Settings->System->Device Information to check. I've had issues with one of the later radio versions (1.46.x) in NZ, accepted the SIM ok but couldn't receive any calls. Currently using v1.38 which seems to work ok.
The radio ROM talks to the SIM, so this could be the issue.
Hi I'm new user of T-Mobile Wing. I found a thread on this forum that most of T-mobile wing don't have simlock. I get my sim card from era (polish carrier) and put inside wing. Then turned on and everything is working. It has found a service. But I still have some doubts. One is that the service name is T-mobile ( which is normal in my nokia using era because of roaming policy of my carrier) but I'm not sure if I leave USA the phone will work or not. I'm not sure how sim lock work here in USA. Should the phone report problem with other sim card when I turn it on? Or maybe it will stop working when I will come back to Poland.
From the other side when I put T-mobile sim card into my old nokia which is locked, the phone reported error "device is secured, please provide code" ( <- this is free translation from my polish)
I assume the same sittuation should appear in case of wing with era sim card, but it is my first pda and I don't know if in this case my assumptions are correct.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
yes its sim locked
you can get it unlocked so it does thru some companys try search in google.
So why right now when I put sim card from different carrier I'm able to use the phone and make calls??
yep. I've got wing registered in era without any unlocking.
huh. thats really strange. it may be some weird kind of roaming. update when you receive your phone bill? If it's kind of ridiculous, you know you need to sim unlock.
I believe that if you get a tmobile sim(prepaid or borrow one?) you can ask them to give you the simlock code and they will
I just purchased a tmobile wing off ebay, that the seller claimed was "unlocked" so I could use it with cingular's network. Well I recieved the phone today and it was NOT unlocked. So to cut to the chase, can someone link me up, or tell me how to unlock it? Iam not a tmobile customer, so that is not an option, I've tried google searching for over 3 hours, every site wants money, and Ive even read about some of them not working, any help is appreciated.
The phone is probably CID unlocked, NOT SIM unlocked. A CID unlock means that you can install third party firmware.
I haven't tried unlocking my phone, so unfortunately, I can't help you there. The only thing I can think of is to call the guy you bought it from and ask him to call tmobile and get the unlock code. Sorry.
Just a thought but you can try this. If it doesn't work you have the disk to reload the phone. follow the directions to flash your wing to wm6.1. insert your cingular sim before you start the load. When it flashes and looks for a provider, should auto configure for cingular. Just a thought. Not sure if it will work.
Unlocked mine via http://www.imei-check.co.uk/heraldunlock.php
26 euro but works 100%
i would talk to the seller and possibly leave negative feedback if he isn't helpful.
you bought the phone because it was unlocked, if it truly is than he should make sure it works for you.
Bought a 2nd hand hero (tmobile). Unlocked it with http://www.unlock-now.com and put my O2 sim card in... and nothing. Have tried with my prepay O2 card, PAYG O2, 3 and T-mobile cards and only the T-mobile one works.
Flashed it with various different ROMs but each time I get no service; when I go to \mobile network settings\network settings\search networks I can see O2-UK but when I select it I get "your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" (although it works in my Touch 3G).
BUGGER! have looked everywhere, but for the life of me I can't find a fix for this.
Would really appreciate any suggestions; my Touch 3g is very flaky and I need a reliable phone asap- live deep in the country and wife about to have a baby!

Works absolutley perfect! On any locked Hero on any Network!
pounana,
i too had a t-mobile hero, and got a code from unlockr, and all worked fine with my o2 sim.
have you tried contacting unlockr? sound like the code didn't unlock the phone....?
don't know what else to, BUT, when you get it working i've got all the settings from o2 for the mobile web and mms. i would post them now, but haven't got them to hand, will do soon
good luck
Hi all,
I've got a Vodafone UK, Desire HD, rooted and running mike1986's Android Revolution 6.3.1.
I've been tried several tools to sim unlock my phone but doesn't seem to work as I keep getting an error / not connected message.
Anyway, I took the phone to a shop who charged me £10 to unlock, but when I got home, I put my wife's Orange sim (her work phone) in but couldn't get a network - the phone didn't even ask for a PIN.
Question is:
How do I find out whether the phone is unlocked?
I'm moving to USA soon. Will I be able to use the phone on their national services?
It seems they didn't properly remove the SIMlock in the shop. I suggest you go back.
//Edit: Or the SIM wasn't seated properly as it didn't ask for the PIN.
And I'm not sure if you can use it over there, since the USA uses whole different frequencies and networkmodes.
If the phone is soff, you are simunlocked. I've yet to see an soff device that wasn't. But one thing to take note is that not all sim/carriers play nice with unlocked phones.
For example on my previous phone my sisters sim, wouldn't work but my brothers would.(both on tmo). On xda I've seen a few people have issues with orange Sims, if possible maybe try a different sim. I also saw that their is a way to check with a few commands ,ill see if I van find them but its been a while
As too will it work in the us, yes but as alluded above we use different frequencies for 3g. So you will be stuck on edge(2g) if you decide to use the phone
EDIT-found the link Gene Poole posted about verifying simunlock http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Vision#3._.28OPTIONAL.29_Verify_you_did_it_right
Thanks for that. The phone wasn't S-OFF so I presume the shop didn't do it properly.
This morning I had another go with using the one click tool, but this time I downgraded to the 1.32.405.6 WWE stock ROM from mike1986 Android Revolution before I did again - it seems to have worked and I am now S-OFF / Sim unlocked.
...get your tenner back mate... shop's a rip-off if they could not even do it properly! >_< lol!
Good Luck
EDIT: 100th post FTW! w00t! >_<
