Seems like, India is still facing the discrimination in terms of latest phone launches in India as compared to the phones launched in the West like US or even UK. It’s almost followed by almost every phone manufacturer, be it Samsung, Motorola and even HTC delays the launch of new devices in India. The latest from HTC, the Windows 7 phone has still no signs of launching in India any time soon, then for phone lovers like us have no other option but to import these phones from the places where it is launched, thanks to eBay or our relatives who fulfills this wish. HTC HD 7 mobile device is a locked device and comes locked and bundled with T-Mobile.
But once unlocked it can be used with any of the Indian carriers like airtel, BSNL, vodafone, Reliance GSM, Aircel or even TATA Docomo. In order to fully unlock the device, you will be needing an unlock code. Basically this unlock code will remove the SIM Lock which comes on many SIM based HTC cellphones by default. Once the SIM Lock is removed, you will be free to use your HTC HD7 with any of the GSM operators.
Getting an unlock code is very simple, all you need to shell out is 16.99$ and also needs to provide some information like your Phone’s IMEI number which can easily be found by dialing *#06# and you can see that instantly the IMEI number will be displayed on the screen. The IMEI number is basically used to calculate the unlocking code for the HTC HD7 device. Please note that this unlock technique will only work for devices which are carrier specific locked handsets. If you do not currently have a carrier or cannot get a free one then to unlock such kind you will have to shell out some extra cost to unlock these devices. So, let’s check out the procedure below by following which you will be able to unlock your HTC HD7 mobile device so that you can just insert the sim of any operator.
Procedure to Unlock HTC HD7 mobile device:
- Firstly, you will need to turn on your HTC HD7 mobile device with either unaccepted or foreign SIM card in or even no SIM card at all will do the trick.
- Now, enter the 8-digit unlock code for your HTC HD7 cellphone device which you have got after purchasing from the above link.
- Now, your HTC HD7 mobile phone device will be unlocked and will first automatically reboot as soon as you enter the unlock code, after the automatic reboot you can see that your phone has been unlocked successfully!
Also please note that the free unlock instructions provided in above post only work with GSM or SIM card versions of the HTC HD7 and not on CDMA UIM cards as this technology is different from CDMA. So by following the above procedure you can easily unlock your HD7 well below 17$ if you are unlocking the T Mobile GSM cell phone.
