HTC cell phones are rapidly rising in popularity nowadays. This is because of its innovative and appealing features, that entices users to purchase these phones. With features such as High definition video playback/recording, sharp surround sound technology and instant Wi-Fi hotspot, who wouldn’t be tempted to buy one?
Obviously, to maximize your HTC phone’s capabilities, you'll have to have a mobile operator. While there're many mobile operators in every country, there is bound to be a good mobile operator, one that's better than the rest when it comes to services and offers.
But, many mobile partners have exclusive contracts on a certain mobile manufacturer(s). This means that should you purchase a cell phone from them, for example, an HTC Thunderbolt, you are only allowed to use the SIM supplied by that company, and any other SIM will be blocked by the cell phone and won't be used. This presents an issue to those who wish to go to their preferred mobile partner, as the mobile partner that sells the phone they want does not offer their preferred services.
Thankfully, there's a technique to have your cellphone be able to use other SIM , without having your cell phone blocking the new SIM card. This method is called unlocking.
It's easy to unlock htc magic mobile phones, and some other mobile phones also, and it may only take a couple of minutes . You just need to follow some basic instructions and you'll have your cell phone unlocked and ready to use (with your preferred company) in no time at all !
To do this, you must first switch off your mobile phone and look for the IMEI number, that's generally found on the back of your phone (battery slot), or on the box (there must be a slip detailing all the necessary information, including the IMEI number). Alternatively, you may try this command:
“*#06#”
This, without the quotes, should be inputted in your HTC mobile phone. This will return a 15 digit number output, that is the unique IMEI number of your phone. This IMEI number is vital, because this is required for the unlock htc magic code, that is used to unlock your HTC cell phone.
The next thing to do is to contact your mobile operator and ask them for the corresponding unlock code. Some companies would be ready to give you the unlock code, so long as you have met their specifications. However, most companies will not give you the unlock code, as unlocking your phone means automatically canceling your agreement with them, meaning you will not need to pay for their services any longer. In effect, they'd lose the phone and they'd suffer a loss in profits from you. This is unacceptable for them, certainly.
In the event that they don’t give you the unlock code, you can always download an application that would provde the unlock code for your cell phone. Be careful though, as some applications have viruses and trojans inside them, so make sure that you download it from a safe and reliable web site.
After downloading the software, you just need to enter your unique IMEI number and have the program produce the related unlock code for your cell phone. After you have the unlock code, power on your mobile phone, but using another SIM card instead. The phone will then show the screen where you have to put the unique 8-digit unlock code. Input the code, confirm, and there you are! Your cell phone is now unlocked!
Obviously, there are times that the code may not work. If this happens, download another software as HTC and some other cell phone companies often change their algorithm in producing said 8 digit code.
Now that you have your cell phone unlocked, you may now enjoy the benefits of your chosen mobile operator, without having to pay extra.
