Queries concerning network unlock codes and restri...

Thx for the sticky on unlock codes. We perfctly understand that unlock code capability is an agreement between nokia and the operator and that you can not provide them here. There should be no requests for unlock codes here.
However you assertion that unlocking a phone by other then the operator is 'illegal' is simply not true (certainly in the UK and US).
Once you have purchased the phone, it is you property (subject to minimum contract term, if purchased under contract) and you can smash it will a hammer if you so please. Unlocking the phone is perfectly legitimate.
The only illegal activity associated with mobile phone modification in Europe is changing the IMEI number, which has nothing to do with the unlocking code. Furthermore it is debatable whether the act of changing the IMEI code is illegal, it only becomes illegal if an attempt is made to connect to the network (effectively making it useless in any event).
Just to clarify your error.

So, it's likely not a Rogers-branded device and that's why the unlock is not working, even though it's locked to Rogers.
When it's unlocked it will say network unlocked.
I would suggest this:

  • What is the network unlock code for my HTC Thunderbolt?

    I want to unlock my husband and I's HTC Thunderbolts. Our contract is up and we bought our phones out right  before we signed a contract. What is the network unlock code for the HTC Thunderbolt phones? 

    Thanks. Apparently Verizon isn't really "sorry to see the customer go".  I'll simply buy an unlocked phone and be done with Verizon for good. Two years is to long to be treated like this by them.  I bought my phone and should be able to use it with whatever carrier I want. It is no longer Verizon's phone. Yes I understand they own some of the stuff they put on my phone but by all means they can remove it. I didn't want their crap on their in the first place. I wish the rest of America would quick kissing their rear.  End Rant

  • Entered wrong network unlocking code too many time...

    Hopeing that you can help. My phone is a lumia 610 locked to the optus network. I accidentally entered the wrong network unlocking code too many times. The phone now blocks any sim card that I put in it. Asks for a PUK code. I got the PUK code from optus, entered it into the phone and it didn't work. I then took my phone into an Optusstore for assistance. They entered the PUK for me and it also didn't work. They then put other sim cards in the phone and it still asks for a PUK code. They tried entering the PUK code for these other SIM cards but it didn't work either. They then put these SIM cards in another phone to test and it worked no problem.
    What's happened to my phone and how do I get it fixed?

    The PUK code relates to the phone only. If you feel that the phone has somehow got "stuck" as you put it and want to try something yourself, then you could try the soft  reset or even the hard reset. Note that you will loss all your data and settings unless you have a previous backup.

    There is no such thing as an "unlock code" for an iPhone. It's done through iTunes after being approved by the carrier it is locked to.
    Go back to the carrier it is locked to and find out what the status is. If you paid someone else to unlock it, you got ripped off.

  • Why is my ipad asking for an unlock code and I did not set this up?

  • Unlock code and sim card

    I just received an unlock code from AT&t for my iphone 4.  It says that the original sim card needs to be in the phone when connecting to iTunes.  I don't have the original sim card.  I am unlocking this because the person I sold it to wants to activiate with another company.  What do I do? thanks

    Well if you don't have the original sim and if it is required to unlock the phone, then you can't unlock it.
    Either way contact AT&T and see what they say -

  • HT4113 Have old iPhone forgot unlock code and my itune don't work to restore it

  • My ipod is asking me for a 4 digit unlock code and i dont know what it is

    how do i force a restore on my ipod.  my son has locked it and doesnt know the code

    Connect the iPod to its syncing computr and restore the iPod via iTunes.  If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • I have an iphone 4s from sprint and an unlock code and want to be able to use my iphone on a t mobile account  what do i have to do ?

    i want to use this sprint iphone on my t mobile account

    Only Sprint can unlock your iPhone.
    AFAIK they will unlock only for non-US carriers, as per their unlocking policy.

  • Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

    Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2  year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy.  Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me.  These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE??  WHY?   A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones...  Please tell me why?  All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
    Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue.  I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone. 
    A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA.  Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
    I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone.  That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them.  That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with. 
    Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country.  I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
    I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
    A response would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
    An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.
    P

    Defiled:
    I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east.  She travels in missions all over.
    At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone?  AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier.  If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" .  My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T .  I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product.  My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
    Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
    Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
    Thank you for your responses.

  • How can i contact apple so they can send me unlock code so i can unlock my iphone and im from europe?

    how can i contact apple so they can send me unlock code and i can unlock my iphone in europe ?

    Apple does not unlock iPhones. This is and always has been controlled by the cellular provider. Contact them to determine their unlocking policy and if you qualify.

  • HT4993 need unlock code but sprint said they cant give it to me over the phone and that i will have to take it to a sprint store

    I have moved outside of the sprint coverage area and i called sprint to get unlock code and the lady told me they dont do that over the phone anymore and that i would have to take my phone to a sprint store

    There is no such thing as an unlock code for an iPhone. That's not how it works.
    This is how it works: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5014?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Note that Sprint will only unlock it for use on non U.S. carriers. You will not be able to use it on any carrier in the US other than Sprint.

  • I'd like to know how to get the SIM Network Unlock PIN for my DROID2 GLOBAL

    I am living in Haiti and I made someone buy a Droid2 Global for me in USA. I have had the phone for 2 months but I never could operate it.  Any time I open it, it requires that I enter a SIM Network Unlock PIN that I have not.
    I' d appreciate you help me get the SIM Network Unlock PIN for my Droid2 Global which IMEI is the following: {edited for privacy}.
    Many thanks in advance

    If the incorrect PIN code is entered too many times, a PIN Unlock Key must be obtained from Verizon Wireless at 908-559-4899 if you are outside of the United States and 800-922-0204 or *611(send) from your mobile number inside the United States..
    The SIM PIN option is only available when the handset is in GSM / UMTS mode. Refer to Network Mode Setting for further assistance.
    Thank you, LatachaM_VZW
    Are you talking about the PUK code (when the PIN for the SIM has been wrong too many times)?  The OP is talking about network unlock, and is using a foreign SIM.   Global Services certainly wouldn't have the unlock code for a SIM that isn't theirs.
    I have heard that if you do enter the incorrect network unlock code too many times, the phone becomes permanently locked (i..e cannot be unlocked even with a valid unlock code) but not everyone agrees that this is true for all phones.
    Jax's post above really says it all, you will need to search the web for a service that will unlock this Motorola phone.  In doing so, you might find a number of threads that say the Global has to be activated in the US before an unlock code will work.  Others were able to unlock without this. 

  • My phone is linked to orange how to i get an unlock code

    Hi - I've got an iPhone4 which is locked to orange, orange say they won't get me an unlock code as the phone isn't linked to my account [ I bought it off ebay ].
    Can I get the network unlock code from Apple or do I have to go to some dodgy backstreet shop to be able to use another networks SIM in my phone?
    Thanks

    Buy a pay as you go simcard and, make some calls with it so it is registered with Orange and then give them a call and ask for an unlock.  It'll cost about £15 (in the UK at least) and takea couple of days, but will work with any carrier thereafter.

  • Droid Bionic Unlock Code

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know if Verizon is willing to provide a SIM Network Unlock code to unlock the GSM side of the Bionic?  I've seen a video online where someone purchased a code from a website and got to the screen where it asked for the Network Unlock code....but their code didn't work (probably because the site was shady). 
    I noticed that Verizon has discontinued selling the Bionic and figured they might be willing to give the out the code.
    Any help in unlocking the GSM side of the Bionic is appreciated!

    You're much more likely to get help for this kind of question/issue on non-Verizon, non-Motorola sites -- one of the several Droid forums, including but not limited to, xda-developers.
    If you've already tried and failed on those sites then I'd guess that it doesn't exist.
    Good luck.
