****Code is dead as of 5/19/16. Can be deleted. **** Well being a Verizon customer after seeing the below thread I decided to pull the trigger on a unlocked 10 well I found out the HTC1008 code no longer works so I started incrementing numbers and what do you know HTC1011 worked for $100 off of USA model! happy shopping. Canada and UK chime in if they work for you.

Thanks! verified working too!
Does not work for HTC Germany.
i never found a code that works for HTC Portugal, kind of frustrating seeing a more expensive device and when you check other Euro country's with the same device cheaper and some with coupon... :|
At this point I'm waiting for it to be available at amazon ES/FR/DE
Bought mine on the 9th using that code
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Also in the DACH area (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) it's impossible to find a decent coupon to save yourself a little money. Only promo I found are 7% off at the mail-order company Ottoversand, valid only in Austria though.
HTC 10 for 650€
Anyone else found something interesting?
Great, now all they need to do is offer some different color options like the A9 did right out of the shoot.
HTCCA1011 works for Canada. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks, still working in USA as of 5/14/16
Just ordered mine and used the code!
Voucher Code HTC10 got me an HTC10 @ £512.99 today Hope that's useful to someone else... On the UK site
HTC1011 not working anymore!
the code not working anymore. :/
there is another code??
I've tried incrementing the numbers like OP, and all up to HTC1020 say 'Invalid promo code'
HTC1014 and HTC1016 do not say or give an 'invalid promo code' error like all the others ?? hmmmm
Lol.. I tried too.
i got the same results...
Ugh, I just realized in my research that I have to buy the US model HTC 10 as that works with US carriers and giffgaff in the UK, but the EMEA model doesn't work with any US carriers as it's missing LTE bands 2, 4, 14.
But now the HTC1011 promo code doesn't work anymore. Anyone have any clue if they might bring another $100 anytime soon? Do they ever do sales for Memorial Day (May 30th)?
no longer available.

Please send me a PM, and we can speak about it.
I have an option to get one for $199 with the signing of a two year contract on my account. I'd be happy if I found a coupon that worked there, even $50 off would be awesome as it would get rid of all of the bs upgrade fees.
I wonder if I could have vzw just ship my phone straight to @jcase.. That would be sweet.

so where can get get one that works in the US?
Non works with US 3G yet
ebay or import one, only work on edge until north american version is released and even then it only has ATT 3G bands if that is important to you
T-Mobile USA
Simple question guys. I think the answer is 'yes' but I want to verify this with people w/ more experience.
Does the UK version of the Hero work w/ T-Mobile USA data network?
I'd like to get the Hero but it would be a waste of money if it doesn't work w/ my provider.
Sorry guys...found the answer on another thread
noob mistake
How trustworthy does this seller look to you guys?
http://mobilegadgetsonline.com/HTC/HTC-Hero-Android-White-Smartphone-Unlocked-p6.html
It's cheaper than handtec, which is the best value I've found..
$400?! that's suspicious .. everyone else has it starting from $634
refurbished? it says new ..
the store has zero rating in google shopping
ohhh, now i see why, i'm sure they messed up the currency sign, hero costs 400 british pounds
That's possible.. but everything else on the site is also in dollars and relatively cheap compared to other places.
I guess it is too suspicious though, I'm not going to touch that one.
thinking about buying from mobilegadgetsonline.com
if anyone out there HAS bought from there i would appreciate a quick note about it.
i am thinking of buying from there as they are CHEAP!! CHEAP !! CHEAP!
but as some of you, i am skeptical as well.
they say that they are a new store, with new goods....
trying to obtain a sound customer base.
they also stated that the promo prices (which are fantastic) end on July 31st.
hmmm, what to do, what to do?!?!?!?!?
if its to cheap.....
the alarm bells would be ringing for me
do your homework before you buy.
I would not deal with any company that does not have a land line phone number to call. Not that it makes a difference.
No Whois information either - I know for dot com it not needed, but hay. BEWARE
THATS A SCAM i recently purchased a hero from them and got an email saying ur order can not be prossesed because our credit card processors are down and you must send cash or money order your credit card was not charged
JerryBarcenas, which site did you buy it from so we can know where not to get it.
I'm waiting for the hero to come to the us and will hopefully get my unlocked hero by october/november
that mobilegadgetsonline is a scam however the next cheapest i found was integrontechnologies.com its 599 free shipping and has google checkout ill try them next if not ill just got to expansys i trust them
Thanks for the info, Jerry.
I guess I would recommend everyone to buy from expansys if they wanted to be safe.
Hope someone can help with this one.
My GF had to go to an AT&T retail store to preorder her One because the Premiere website wasn't workiing for her. She got the phone, but they didn't ship the Media Link adapter, and I know she ordered well within the promotional period, and that there was still inventory available because of posts made here after her order that confirmed it.
We went to the store and inquired, and they said we had to call customer service, so we did. After a while on the phone with customer service, we were told to go to the store.
It would be helpful if anyone here has a part# or SKU# - and perhaps any advice for us on how to go about next steps, so we can get this done.
Thanks in advance!

Item: HITECH PJ83100 ACCESSORY
Part Number: 41398
AT&T is ostensibly clueless when it comes to the availability of this product. I had one ordered prior to the presale, and one after it was clear the former wasn't coming. After the second didn't come they told me they couldn't even guarantee it would ship at all so they found a local shop that had one in stock and sent me to pick one up there.
And then, so you know, unless you have a tethering plan it'll be a glorified paperweight until an update is released by AT&T (or HTC). It doesn't work.
i never got mine... called at&t and got a 180 bill credit for not getting them. worth it in my opinion
Interesting. I ordered mine on the 16th, in store, and my rep couldn't get the Media Link HD to populate in the cart. So I just figured I wasn't gonna get one, which wasn't a big deal since I wouldn't have really used it anyway.
However, last week I got a random email from AT&T stating it was on its way. They must be fulfilling the backorders on it automatically now.

This info worked, thanks. Got the local store to order one up.
There is a flashable zip file which makes the unit usable under the AT&T ROM, or you can flash a custom ROM like ARHD which likewise does the problem.

the update was released by htc... it works now without tether or custom rom.
I noticed that mine didn't end up shipping either after a few weeks. I called premier support, and was told that I would need to call general support to update my "rate plan code" in order to be eligible. I had no idea what that meant, but I figured it would somehow involve AT&T trying to screw me into upgrading my call/data plan.
I called general support, and they were clueless of both the promotion and what a "rate plan code" was. Isn't this company just great? However, after an hour and a half on the phone, we finally got everything sorted out. They ended up opening a new order and manually discounting the item.
I finally got it the other day. Now, I just need to find a way to allow the media link to still stream video with the phone screen off, so it doesn't rape my battery life. Anyone have any suggestions? Is there a fix available?

Hey guys, I just wanted to put y'all up on something. I found this seller on Ebay that sells unlock codes for around $3.50 US. I bought a code yesterday and he sent it out to me early this morning. He is a UK seller. To enter in the unlock code, all you have to do is put in your SIM that is locked, go to the dialer, type in 2945#*769# instead of the other code that he gives you. Then you go on the first option and type in the code (on the first line) that he gives you.
I just wanted to put y'all up on this so y'all could take advantage of this! $3.50 to get your phone unlocked? Sold! I am one happy customer. I hope this is the right section to put it on. :/

I actually got mine from this ad. A bit cheaper (pennies to some), and response was within 24 hours. Clear instructions, etc.
Keep in mind, this includes a link to Paypal, and doesn't actually register as a purchase on eBay.
Regardless, my L9 is unlocked, so I'm plenty happy.

@queboy89 legit! Thanks for posting that! It's good to have your phone unlocked, just in case something ever happens and you need to for example, change carriers or move out of the country.
@omgbossis21 hmm. really? I thought manufacturers don't give codes out anymore? That's what I heard from HTC, so I might be wrong. I had to pay $10 for my Sensation code.

Quick update that I didn't mention: T-Mobile will indeed provide SIM unlock codes, provided the device was purchased from a T-Mobile authorized dealer with a valid receipt. I had gotten mine in the Amazon deal, so it wasn't eligible.

So they (tmobile ) changed the way of do things ?
they provided me with the unlock code of a samsung exibith 4g like a year ago, and they havent asked me for any receipt whatsoever
the only constraint was that you need to have a good standing account of at least 90 days active, so they check that with your phonw # in their database and then
they send the request to the "unlocking" department, you get the code via email
in around 24hrs and it worked like a charm for me, now i am planning to get the L9, the 3.5 screen is getting too small as i am getting older :silly:

Bah, sometimes, I need to be careful with my words. I meant authorized dealer as in the actual T-Mobile stores. Amazon is certainly an authorized dealer, but I was ineligible in getting the SIM unlock code from T-Mobile. You have to purchase directly from T-Mobile's brick and mortar stores or website.
I believe that in your case, it would be dependent on whether you get the phone on contract or not. Because the L9 is sold both as a prepaid phone and on contract, there are different rules regarding SIM unlocks. The rules you stated are for the phone if you re-sign your contract and get the phone at the subsidized price. If you choose to purchase the phone outright, whether through the prepaid plan package or for a postpaid plan, then T-Mobile should and will provide the code immediately. It's currently $240 for the phone outright from T-Mobile's website, free if you sign a 2 year agreement, and $179 from Amazon. It's possible the stores are selling the same Amazon prepaid package for a lower price than the outright price listed on the T-Mobile website.
They probably didn't ask you for your receipt because you got your phone as part of a contract renewal/signing, and on a federally subsidized discount. In that case, they prefer to know that you aren't jumping ship from your contract before fully paying for your phone.
Sorry for any confusion I may have caused!

No worries man,
i get my exhibit 4g at bestbuy, and dont had any problems when i called tmobile
, i got mine running CM10.1 much better than stock ROM, but still the exhibith is a low end single core cell
, i want the L9 soon !!
I might be a good idea to specify "carrier unlock" in the subject line (not to be confused with "bootloader unlock").

Rebooted and still appears to be unlocked. I don't have a valid micro SIM to test it on another network but it seems to be unlocked. Will report back again after trying a friends micro SIM.
For a few dollars you can't go wrong on this. Thanks OP!

That is sort of what I was going to say, everyone should be able to get the code for free from their carrier. The problem is that some have rules of not giving up the code until after contract or other restrictions.

I just ordered a 64 GB Graphite for AUD 999
i ordered the graphite myself, shipping address was wrong google told me to cancel order and re-order in the 5 minutes i had waiting for the money to release back to my account the graphite sold out... had to then get the aluminium. it will be in a case anyway so i didnt really care but still... they must have had like 50 handsets lol

Secondly, was your CC charged? Mine has not been yet.
Yeah it was greyed out for me and when refreshed, closed browser it did not return for purchase just said join waitlist... So I switched over to aluminium and it worked as I said I don't really mind as it will be in a otterbox style case anyway... As for cc I used a debit card so it listed the trans as pending.. Had to wait till the temp hold was released and I could repurchase.. The card declined a few trys and on looking at bank it was pending for a few minutes

Yes. It will be great if we get the phone at the same time as other countries even though it was listed just now.
Ridiculous pricing though. The 6p is cheaper than the nexus 6 was in the states. And we still pay more than last year. I think I'll skip this year. My n6 is still mint, so I might as well keep it some more.
Just so you guys know, the nexus 6p is for $744 with a $20 plan - no contract on virgin.
Im getting this because stuff paying the $900 aud price gouge.

virgin's coverage is garbage, telstra i read is not really interested in nexus devices and i have had a terrible time with optus in the past.. leaves not much choice for some. Replacing a tired 2013 Note 3 thats over 2 years old. If on the other hand, I bought the N6 last year, which i had planned to do i probably would have kept it, i like the size and the device plus paying for new premium device each year is not within budget
You can get the n6 cheap now on the google store.

That's actually a great deal. 32gb only, but still $200 cheaper than buying from google. Nice find.
Added to Nexus 6P index thread:
[INDEX] Huawei Nexus 6P
i just checked virgin mobile and indeed they are selling the N6P/32gb/black for $744, just the phone, for existing customers.
no other option for phone color and memory.
still a good deal if you're with them, stuff paying $899 for a nexus device...

I highly doubt it, the carriers don't actually consider prepaid users as customers.
With virgin, what you can do is sign up for a sim only plan, get it set up and working, then use your account to order this handset outright @ $744, then if u want, cancel the virgin account after 1 month.

You just sign up with virgin on a sim only plan, pay the money for the device & $20 for the first month's plan & cancel straight away in store. No more virgin bs & n6p in hand. Laughing. F u google. Why no love? We're a lovable bunch aren't we?
Am stumped on what to do. I want the N6P 64g and only Vodafone's doing a plan for $75 bucks a month. The thing is I've been with Optus for over 25 yrs and be hesitant to leave them over voda.
Is Vodafone any good these days?
Half the reason am considering it is cause with the online deal you get a case,headset and huawei talkband b2 worth $229 alone.
Is it worth the switch guys?

I've heard Vodafone definitely has improved from its fiasco a few years ago. It is now more or less decent. Unfortunately, that is still no indication whether or not Vodafone is any good for you. The best way to go about still is to get a Vodafone sim and to try it out at your usual locations eg. home, work, frequent places.

I checked coverage for my area and it says 4G but until I try as you said I may not know. Everyone I know is on optus and been with them so long. Optus has a 32g version but don't know if that's going to be enough storage.

You can buy the phone from T-Mobile without a contract but you do need a plan.
Just talk to a different person imo.
If all else fails you can purchase it with a cheap pay as you go plan.
The cheapest I think is $3 for 30 min.
You however will have quite a few hurdles to jump through to get it unlocked from T mobile.
They require at least $100 to be spent on your account and 40 days of active service to unlock it.
You can get around those if you are lucky, some people have not been able to.
If you can do without warranty, your best option may be to use a service like swappa.com
You can buy new and used phones from people there.
Just make sure to check the condition of the phones before purchasing, also note if they are unlocked or not if you will be using a service other than T mobile.
If you must have a warranty of some kind, there are after purchase options available from places like squaretrade, however they are more expensive than I personally think they are worth.
Good luck finding your new phone.
You sure can buy it outright.

Thanks guys.
@L0x -- any luck??
I got mine from AT&T right after the release. I spent a bunch of time on various chats until I got someone who told me that I could get the phone unlocked within 3 to 5 days after purchase. Added to cart with the cheapest plan & ordered.
AT&T auto-activated the phone when it showed delivered. As I am using the phone in Europe on Vodafone, this was a problem. It took, all said and done, probably 8 hours across a month and a half on chat, twitter, and phone calls to get AT&T to send me the unlock code, cancel the plan, and wipe the account balance to zero. Unlock code was immediate, the rest took the longest. I didn't mind harassing them very much because I had my unlocked phone.
After it was all said and done, I have the AT&T variant with an unlock code, running on Vodafone, with nothing paid to AT&T except the cost of the phone. It takes time, persistence, and patience to make it happen.

Not yet per say. I'm about 2 weeks out from purchasing. Holiday kicked my ass. But I will update this thread when I purchase. I'm weighing right now actually going with a Tmobile plan. I use Metropcs right now. Just not liking the 20$ more a month for less data.
I'm in Canada. Bought mine from Best Buy in NYC. They give the option for a friend to pick up. Works great
