Hi
I am looking for some help for Japanese Motorola-Photon.
I have purchased Motorola-Photon (Japanese version) with Au-Kddi carrier.
Now, I want to use Photon with Softbank carrier. When I am putting softbank sim, it is asking unlock code.
I know that some web-site give unlock by paying $30. but I am looking for any other work around.
Is there any other way (Free mode) to unlock it and use with Softbank carrier?
I hope that some one will help on this.
Thanks.

Any help on this????
My only idea is do a factory restore in recovery and see if it flushes out the lock code.
The KDDI radio opens the US phones, no sim locking problems.

It sounds more like the sim card is locked and not the phone. I don't think they lock the phones in Japan?

Hey guys, I'm newbie to modern phone stuff. Just got an AT&T Aria phone. It was brand new in the box, never used, without AT&T sim card. Does it mean the phone is not locked for AT&T and can be used in Europe with local operators ?

No. It is locked. If it was never used, then it could never be unlocked (someone would need to unlock it). If you are planning to use it in Europe, it would be better if you got an HTC Gratia which you could say is the Europe version of the Aria.
Should I get the unlock code in this case ?

Yes, you will need an unlock code to use the Aria in Europe with other carriers' SIM cards.
I was wondering, if I buy a Rogers branded galaxy tab 10.1 from someone (it's cheaper since a lot of people got free tablets as part of a promotion), there isn't a requirement to pop in a SIM or anything right? I'm neither a Rogers customer nor do I plan on using 3G. I only want to use WIFI to connect to the internet.
That should be doable right? I plan on rooting and flashing a custom ROM after to get rid of all the Rogers branded crap. I would get the WIFI model but that's a lot more expensive than the Rogers ones I see on craigslist.
Thanks!
shouldn't be any problem you are only using the sim to access 3G/4G anyways
there is an unlock tool posted, so you can unlock the Tab and insert any sim of your choice

Hi,
I am looking to buy a locked to Bell Tab.
Where can I find the unlock tool so that I can unlock it and send it to US (as gift) for use with US providers?
Thanks!
Can an IUSACELL (AT&T Mexico) u20a be used on AT&T in the US without unlockingock?
I recently bought a lot of 5 X10 Mini Pros on ebay. I only needed one of them, so now I want to sell the rest of them. The thing is they are carrier locked to IUSACELL, a Mexican carrier who was bought out by AT&T to become part of AT&T Mexico. My question is can these phones be activated on AT&T in the US without having to unlock them? Thanks in advance.
Anybody?

Probably not, you will have to ask the original carrier for the sim-unlock codes using the phone's IMEI-codes... Since the phones are so old they should give you the unlock-codes for free. After unlocking them (inserting a sim from another carrier and entering the code) they should function on any other carrier.
Hi,
I was wondering if this device is usable outside of the US. I have no experience with AT&T software and their carrier locks, but was hoping someone could help me out here.
Would love to use this tablet
Does anyone know?
Thanks!
I unlocked it through at&t homepage. no problems.
but now when insert any simcards carrier it cant register to the network.
Im from germany.
Any help?
Thanks
Hello, just a quick question about using international sim card. I'm traveling to the Philippines in a week and wanted to know if a sim from the Philippines would work with my unlocked S23U, purchased from Samsung, currently running S918USQU1AWC8
Previously, I had only bought carrier phones and on my last trip, I had to only go to the T-Mobile app to unlock the phone and was able to use a Philippine sim after that.
So is there a way to check if it would work? Your help is greatly appreciated

I would suggest you to take a look at eSIM option instead. Easier to acquire and better solution for short travelling.
