I called my phone company and they gave me the unlock code. But in order to use it i need a sim from another company, which i dont have.
Is there any way to use the unlock code without having to get a new sim card?
thx

You have tried 8 times. Please wait for retry.
Then I can introduce any number.

Is there any way to reset the simlock counter in HTC Touch HD2 (Leo) ?

Please advise. Thank you.

No, this is a security feature on the sim card. Your sim card is locked and therefore you will need to contact your provider.
If you have set up your online account, you can get your sim unlock code from there. However if you have entered your sim unlock code incorrectly 3 times, you sim will be permantly blocked - you will need a new sim card. Give voda a call - it may be possible to unblock with a PUK2 code.
What is the default PUK2 or PIN2? I've only got a few attempts left before my phone self detonates?!
you mean unlock code to make it work with other networks ?
so you can only try 5 times ?
i already wasted 2
No, I've got the PUK (your provider can give you this - it's usually printed on the gubbins that came with your sim card). I'm missing the default PUK2 or PIN2 which came with the handset to let me set security prefs. Anyone?
Can anyone plz help
you need to unlock the phone for the sim card to work
i get unlock code from this guy on Ebay and receive my code within 30 minutes. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130386923441&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Moved to general
But you can get it for $10.70 from this guy on ebay ....
I did not even need mine unlocked yet , but for $10.70 , just had to do it, got my unlock code in about 15 minutes , and it worked fine ...
Btw you can use file explorer or whatever, browse to /windows , and run simlock.exe and unlock your phone even if you do not have a foreign sim card ...
EDIT:
Just saw that suryo88 posted the same link, it does work ....
I installed on NAND MDJ and forgot to GSM unlock the phone while I still had WM 6.5. I am obtaining free code from my carrier (TmoUS) but not sure if it's going to work under Android - did anyone try this and did it work?
I plan to put in AT&T sim card in and type in the code - question is: will it work?
Thanks All!
It should already be unlocked. Try an AT&T SIM and find out.
Tried with foreign SIM Card and it was requesting the code to be typed in. At least now I know that code I get from T-Mobile will work.
Here is an update on this matter:
I received an unlocking code from T-Mobile via e-mail but waited until I put in other carrier SIM Card... I went to EU and put in SIM Card from other carrier when Android asked me for unlocking SIM GSM code...
1. I clicked to type in number and got keyboard to open up but it would not register any typing I did...
2. I reseted the device and then asked again for the GSM unlocking code - I did not try it there but clicked to skip it...
3. I got into the Android without being registered on the network...
4. Then I tried to call a number and it asked me for unlocking GSM code -
This time I was able to type in the numbers as the keyboard that popped out was only containing numbers (like dialer) and not full keyboard.
Everything worked just fine there and I am now back to US - where everything works fine as well

put in a sim card from another carrier. Does not have to be live....a dead sim is fine. you will be prompted for the code.
Make sure to put a GSM carrier SIM.

Maybe its unlocked. Did u buy it from Dell or someone else.?
Sent from my Venue Pro using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

i tried using AT&T sim also it says "SIM error, the sim card is missing or invalid. you can still make emergency calls if your service provider supports it.".
i used many other sim local sim cards but still its coming the same messgae.
help??
Does the DVP read the sim card from the network its locked to? It might be a SIM reader error. That error message is usually thrown when it's not sensing a SIM card.
i went the EM menu RD test > went SIM LOCK> when i press button it says ERROE 213,
what is this,??
can anny one help???
yes, it's easy to input it.
