What is Unlocking a Phone?

Unlocking your phone is NOT to be confused with jailbreaking or rooting your phone. These are different procedures. Unlocking is for people who want to take a phone that is locked to a specific carrier and use it on another carrier. This only works for GSM phones (phones with a SIM card slot).

How Can You Unlock My Phone?

You let us know the IMEI and the Model and we can contact the carrier through a special agreement and get your unlock code for that device. There is no hacking involved, simply inputting a code to tell the phone it no longer needs to be locked.

To get a code, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page and we will get a code back to you within 24 hours usually. If for whatever reason we cannot get you your code, we will immediately refund your entire payment.

What Phones Can You Unlock?

Simply put, almost all of them :) Even the newest phones like the Blackberry Storm 2, the HTC Hero, the Samsung Behold 2, etc. Simply put the IMEI of the device and the phone model (be as specific as possible) and we will try to get a code within 24 hours. If we cannot for whatever reason your payment is immediately refunded. Nothing to lose.

Order a Code

Please fill out the form below and click Buy Now to purchase the unlock code. Your code will be sent to the email you provided in the checkout process within 24 hours. If for any reason we cannot provide a code we will refund your payment instantly.

    Do you unlock the Sidekick 2008?

  2. TheUnlockr Says:

    Hello Sequoia,

    We sure do :) And we either get a code or your refund in less than 48 hours so nothing to lose :)

  3. Dennis Says:

    can you unlock the HTC Hero from Telus(Canada) to use it with AT&T in the US?

  4. Alex Says:

    Hi,
    I have a HTC Hero on Orange UK and wish to unlock it. Apparently HTC and Orange UK have put some restrictions in the firmware for this carrier that stops standard HTC Hero codes from unlocking this phone.
    Will you still be able to unlock it?
    Thanks,
    Alex

  5. TheUnlockr Says:

    Dennis,

    Most likely yes. Just submit the code and if in 24 hours we cannot get an unlock we immediately refund your payment so nothing to lose.

  6. TheUnlockr Says:

    Alex,

    Shouldnt matter, we can probably still unlock it. Submit the code and if we cant get the unlock code in 24 hours we will immediately refund it, so no worries. Worth a shot :)

  7. Dennis Says:

    Thanks for the response.Will be doing that once I get the phone.

  8. Sequoia Says:

    Hello, I recently bought an unlock code for my Sidekick 2008 and it’s been 24 hours and I haven’t got anything.

  9. TheUnlockr Says:

    Sequoia,

    Sorry didnt realize that the code supplier is closed on the weekends, you’ll have an email by the end of tomorrow for sure :)

  10. juergen Says:

    hey guys,
    congratulations on your site, great site and good work. keep it up! question about the unlocking:
    would the unlocking process take away the restrictions that there might be on a vodafone/”with google” branded phone? more precise: i read about the vodafone branded htc magic not being able to be synced with outlook. would unlocking eliminate this restriction? thanks a lot for your help, regards from spain
    juergen

  11. TheUnlockr Says:

    Juergen,

    Thanks!
    Unfortunately no, those aren’t “restrictions” per say they are features that just aren’t in the phone. You could load a custom ROM though that has a Hero build and those will have Exchange Support built in and HTC Sync which allows you to connect to Outlook.
    Unlocking ONLY allows you to use a different SIM card than the one the phone is locked to, it does nothing else.

    Good luck!

  12. juergen Says:

    thanks for the really quick answer! so i can load roms into a magic and root it, independet of it being simlocked, right? and the simlocking doens´t affect how “new” roms behave on the phone, according to your experience? thanks for your kind help!!
    juergen

  13. TheUnlockr Says:

    Juergen,

    Correct. :)

  14. Alberto Says:

    ok, i’m spanish and i need to know if the unlock of “htc hero sprint of usa”(a exclusive model of SPRINT) is posible to use orange or any operador in Spain, thank you, sorry if my english is poor….XD

  15. TheUnlockr Says:

    Alberto,

    Unfortunately, the Sprint Hero is CDMA and most of your service providers in the world are GSM (they use SIM cards) so the phone wont work on their network. You can just buy an unlocked GSM Hero from HTC or somewhere and that will work just fine.
    Orange uses SIM cards, correct?

  16. Alberto Says:

    yes, ok, thank you very much i don’t know this…:P

  17. rey Says:

    hey alberto solo los telefonos que usan sim card pueden ser desbloquiados para usarse en cualquier network. en calquier parte del mundo los cdma no usan sim card. como es el caso de el sprint hero..

    only phones that use sim cards can be unlocked…

  18. Ross Says:

    Hello,
    I need my sidekick 2008 unlocked but I heard T-mobile put some sort of block on it. I bought it just a couple of days ago. If purchased a code would it unlock my sidekick? I just want to make sure.

  19. TheUnlockr Says:

    Ross,

    Unfortunately, we found out that the Sidekick 2008 takes 3 to 4 weeks to unlock and costs $75 (I know lol). Let me know if you can find another place that can do it in less time/for less money, as that is what our supplier has told us.

  20. Jill Says:

    Hi, I have been reading the posts above, and wondered if you have had any success thus far with unlocking the HTC Hero on Orange network. I bought a Hero recently and would like to have it unlocked.

  21. Dennis Says:

    When I get your unlock code, do I start the phone with the Sim card installed? How do I enter the code and how do I know that it worked? I never done this before, so that is why I’m asking these questions. Thanks, Dennis

  22. TheUnlockr Says:

    Dennis,

    Correct, for most phnes when you put the new unofficial sim into the phone it asks for a code. You just input it there. Some other phones you have to goto settings then Mobile Network or SIM etc and input it there.If you have a Blackberry search our site for How To Unlock a Blackberry and we have step by step instructions for them because they are a little more complicated.

  23. Dennis Says:

    Thanks. I am getting a HTC Hero. Will the code show up when I turn it on with an AT&T sim or do Ihave to go to the settings? Dennis

  24. TheUnlockr Says:

    Dennis,

    Should just ask when you put it in but its different with each carrier. What carrier is the phone from, Telus?

  25. Dennis Says:

    yes It is Telus. Phone is in route.

  26. Sergio Says:

    Can you unlock a T-Mobile MyTouch with Android? where do I write the code?

    thanks,

  27. TheUnlockr Says:

    Sergio,

    Yes, we can. You enter the unlock code once you put in a different SIM card, it asks you for the code.

    Yes.

  30. matt serna Says:

    i have the my touch 3g from tmobile and i got an unlock code for it so i could use my centennial sim card. well the code worked bc it registers to my sim but when i try to sign in to my google account and wont go through

  31. Dennis Says:

    Got the unlocking code and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the help and answering my questions. Dennis

  32. TheUnlockr Says:

    Matt Serns,

    You need to put your new companies internet settings in so the phone knows where to access the internet.
    Push menu on the sign in screen and you’ll see APN. Create a new one with your new cmpany’s info and save it. Then select it and you will be able to log in.
    Call your new service provider for their internet settings or check out support setting under internet/mms to see if it is already listed there.

  33. TheUnlockr Says:

    Dennis,

    You are very welcome!

  34. martin cortegana Says:

    hi
    please confirm if it is possible to unlock the docomo ht-03a, only with the code?

    thanks in advance

  35. cedric dirabou Says:

    thank you very much for unlocking mt tmobile mytouch 3g. you are really serious and really fast only 1 night and the next day i had my unlock code. i will definitely recommend you to everybody i can!!!

  36. TheUnlockr Says:

    Cedric,

    Thanks! Appreciate it!

  37. shawn Says:

    Can you guys unlock a t-mobile Mytouch to work on the telus network?

    Thanks

  38. TheUnlockr Says:

    Shawn,

    So long as Telus is GSM (which I believe it is) then yes :) Once we unlock it it can be used on any GSM network.
    Now 3G is another story, since ever company uses different frequencies. So you would need to see what 3G frequencies the myTouch uses and then ask Telus (or find a Telus phone) and see what 3G it uses and if they match you’ll get 3G, if not then you wont. Same with any phone though.

  39. tornado8282 Says:

    is it possible to unblock the imei on htc magic?

  40. Geoffrey Says:

    Hi there,

    I’m new to blackberry and I’m trying to unlock the phone. I stumbled upon this website and it seems that you guys are extremely kind with unlocking. Would you kindly unlock my phone?

    IMEI: 357360.03.187639.1
    Model: Blackberry Bold 9700
    Carrier: AT&T

    Thanks a lot in advance, and I truly appreciate it. If you need any more info for unlocking, please ask me!

    Geoffrey

  41. TheUnlockr Says:

    Geoffrey,

    We’d be happy to. But you have to use the form above and pay with Paypal. (The codes cost us money to obtain from the carriers and unlocking service providers).

  42. SoniC Says:

    Are you still able to unlock a Sidekick 2008?

  43. TheUnlockr Says:

    SoniC,

    Our current supplier can’t but we have a new one that might be able to.
    If you want to submit the IMEI etc we can try and if it will take longer than 48 hours we will just refund it.
    Up to you.

  44. SoniC Says:

    ok i will submit my IMEI number thanks for letting me know and trying to get it unlocked

    Much appreciated

  45. SoniC Says:

    i was wondering if the duration it take to obtain the unlock code for the sidekick 2008 takes 48 Hours or up to a couple of weeks.

    also is the supplier that you guys go to closed during holidays?

    Thanks alot

  46. ClaireH Says:

    Just wondering if it was possible to unlock the HTC Hero phone. I’m in the UK and have one locked to the Orange network. Could you unlock this for me?

  47. Omar Says:

    Do you guys unlock telus htc hero?

  48. TheUnlockr Says:

    ClaireH,

    Yes no problem we can unlock the Hero on Orange.

  49. TheUnlockr Says:

    Omar,

    Yes, we have had good luck with HTC Hero’s regardless of where they are from.

  50. SamA Says:

    I have a HTC Tattoo locked on orange UK I want to unlock it , I have code that does not seem to work. When I input the code it tells me unlock sucessful but then it does not allow me to use the sim card. Can you help with this?

  51. Tarik Says:

    Guys can you unlock a T-Mobile G2 Touch (Htc Hero)provided by T-Mobile in Macedonia and how much does it cost’s?

  52. TheUnlockr Says:

    Sama,

    No, sorry. Contact the person who sold you the unlock code.

  53. TheUnlockr Says:

    Tarik,

    Yes, and $25.

  54. Tarik Says:

    How to order the code than? what if the unlocking is not successful?

  55. TheUnlockr Says:

    Tarik,

    Read the instructions on this page to order a code from us. If we cannot get a code then we refund the payment immediately.
    We have never had a code come back that didnt work.

  56. Tarik Says:

    unfortenatly macedonia is not on the pay pal list :( don’t know how to do it ….

  57. TheUnlockr Says:

    Tarik,

    Can’t you just use a credit/debit card? You shouldnt need a Paypal account… let me know if it still doesnt work.

  58. Tarik Says:

    TheUnlockr,

    Yes I can use a debit card, but I hope the code will work. because I asked in a mobile shop here and they told me that they bought codes from internet they were not working and the never got the money back.
    I hope this site like TheUnlockr.com is safe.

    How long is going to take to unlock the T-Moblie G2 Touch? Just to compare in mobile shop here they ask for 45 euros and to let them the phone about a week and still no guaranty are they going to unlock it…
    Regards, Tarik

  59. andri sutriadi Says:

    unkock code for blackberry 8900

  60. TheUnlockr Says:

    Andri,

    If you want to purchase a code, you need to fill out the above form and make payment.

  61. Nishka Says:

    I have a sprint HTC HERO would i tbe possible to unlock and switch to metro who doesnt use sim cards either?

  62. TheUnlockr Says:

    Nishka,

    Yes, but with CDMA phones we cannot just get a code. You need to bring the phone into a CDMA Unlocker because they have to literally plug the phone in and flash its firmware.

  63. Robert Schneider Says:

    I have a Motorolla Cliq from T Mobile…assuming it can be unlocked..will I have to recieve new software for wichever service provider I choose to go with? And will it stilll run the MotoBlur service? The service I am planning o switching to is a small provider in Illinois called Symetry.

  64. Mike Says:

    can you unlock Acer E200?

  65. Adrian Says:

    Hi guys!

    Would you be able to retreive an unlock code for a HTC Magic branded and locked to Rogers (Canada) ?

  66. TheUnlockr Says:

    Robert Schneider,

    It can be unlocked. With GSM phones (phones that use SIM cards), there is no need to flash the firmware. you just have to purchase a code from a supplier, put a different SIM in and it asks for the code. Once you put it in, all done. No hacking or anything like that (the codes actually come from the manufacturers generally).
    We can unlock the CLIQ but for some reason our supplier charges a little more (than the $25 we charge) and it takes up to 10 days to get the code back.
    If you want us to get the code for you just purchase on here and we can send you a separate invoice for the extra $10 I think they charge (total of $35).

  67. TheUnlockr Says:

    Mike,

    Not sure, never unlocked one. What carrier is it locked to?

  68. TheUnlockr Says:

    Adrian,

    Yes, definitely we have done that one before :)

  69. Andy Says:

    Hi..is it possbile to unlock nokia 5530 ???

  70. TheUnlockr Says:

    Andy,

    Yes we can.

  71. Andy Says:

    Ok…how much is the cost ?

  72. Andy Says:

    Nokia is from Portugal carrier TMN :)

  73. Chris Says:

    Responded INSTANTLY to emails, got my unlock code with a quickness even when other sites could not manage to do it at all, and a great site with great info…nuff said. Rock on! Thanx

  74. Jose Says:

    Do I have to unlock my phone every time I change carrier or just one time for all?

  75. TheUnlockr Says:

    Jose,

    Just once and then keep the code safe just incase you relock your phone accidentally (the same code will work for your phone).

  76. tung Says:

    My phone is locked in Vodafone UK, can you unlock it?

  77. TheUnlockr Says:

    Tung,

    Yes we can :) Just unlocked a Vodafone Magic recently.

  78. Dorian Says:

    Just recently had to update my magic with the new Roger’s rom to fix the 911 bug. The ROM included the htc sense UI for HERO. They are saying that it is a perfected SPL – not sure what this means. Are you able to unlock it and gain root? LMK

    Thanks

  79. andyphil Says:

    Hey i live in canada and am trying to unlock my telus htc hero through you guys. I cant seem to send you a payment i was wondering how we can arrange this? thanks!

  80. TheUnlockr Says:

    Andyphil,

    What does it say when you try to pay. Use the contact us form to let me know and I’ll try to get it fixed.

  81. Max Schenk Says:

    I purchased a code last night, but I’m not sure if you got my email address or not. The phone is an HTC Magic locked to Rogers.

  82. TheUnlockr Says:

    Max,

    We got the IMEI and trying to produce an unlock code. Usually takes 24 hours, so by tonight we will either have an unlock code or your refund.

  83. Max Schenk Says:

    I’d prefer the unlock code :)

  84. Max Schenk Says:

    Any luck producing the unlock code?

  85. TheUnlockr Says:

    Max Schenk,

    Sorry it came back as no code found, refund has already been sent will be in your account by Monday at the latest (just takes Paypal a day or two to put it back in your account).

  86. Max Schenk Says:

    So is there anything else I can do about it? I reall would like to unlock this phone.

    Can you unlock Nokia N97 Mini, locked under Orange UK?
    And what about the unlocking price?
    Thnx!!

  89. TheUnlockr Says:

    Artjon,

    Most phones are $25, we’ve never tried an N97 Mini before. We can always try, we either give you the code or a refund within 24 hours so you have nothing to lose.

  90. Darika Says:

    How much would I be charge to unlock a iPhone 3gs?

  91. TheUnlockr Says:

    Darika,

    It doesn’t work that way for the iPhone. The iPhone is the only phone that does not have unlock codes, you need to run an application to reprogram your iPhone to accept a different SIM card.
    Check our site for the How To Unlock Your iPhone procedures…

  104. kevin Says:

    if you rooted the phone will your phone unlock itself?
    like if i rooted the HTC touch pro 2 from verizon
    can i also use it for tmobile?

  105. TheUnlockr Says:

    Kevin,

    Rooting does not unlock your phone. Separate procedures.
    You cannot use a CDMA phone (phone without a SIM card) on a GSM service provider (SIM card required). So Verizon (CDMA) will not work on T-Mobile (GSM)

    Did you purchase your code from us?

  113. TheUnlockr Says:

    Eddie,

    Yep, just fill out the form and give us 24 hours :)

  114. Yeong Says:

    I have HTC Eris by Verizon, can you guys unlock this too?

  115. TheUnlockr Says:

    Yeong,

    We can try but too be honest we really just unlock GSM phones (most CDMA phones require flashing and cant be unlocked by codes like we do). But again like I said we can try, we’ll either get the code or have a refund for you within 24 hours.

  116. ross Says:

    Unlockr,

    I’m not sure it it’s unlocked, I don’t think it is unlocked, the t-mobile sim card does not work when in the phone that is for sure. I read some where that Vodafone had stopped locking there phones, which would suggest that the issue might be with the t-mobile sim – can sim cards be locked?

    I have not yet bought a code. I dont want to buy some thing that I cant us. I will happly buy the code if I know where to type it!

    Thanks
    Ross

    Hey just curious if you can unlock the iPhone 3Gs mc model?

    Cheers bud

  123. TheUnlockr Says:

    Alvaro,

    Read this page. :) Unlocking allows you to use another phone company. Rooting allows you to load custom roms etc, two different things.

  124. Kenji Says:

    Is it possible to unlock my mobile ?

    model: HT-03a (NTT DoCoMo) with Android 1.6

    I’m a bit worried about Androide 1.6

    Thanks you for your kindness.

  125. TheUnlockr Says:

    Kenji,

    Unlocking and rooting are two different things. Unlocking is done so you can use a different SIM card and does not matter what OS version you have, is that what you want to do? Or you looking to root it and load ROMs?

  126. jose Says:
