HTC mobile phones are quickly rising in popularity today. This is because of its innovative and appealing features, which encourages customers to buy these cell phones. With features such as HD video recording / playback, crisp surround sound technology and instant Wi-Fi hotspot, who wouldn’t be tempted to purchase one?
Of course, in order to maximize your HTC phone’s capabilities, you will have to have a mobile partner. While there're several mobile operators in every country, there's sure to be a good mobile partner, one which is much better than the rest in terms of services and offers.
But, some mobile operators have special contracts on a particular mobile manufacturer(s). Which means that should you purchase a mobile phone from them, for example, an HTC Thunderbolt, you're only allowed to use the SIM provided by that company, and any other SIM will be blocked by the cell phone and won't be used. This poses an issue to those who wish to go to their preferred mobile partner, as the mobile operator that sells the phone they want doesn't offer their desired services.
Fortunately, there's a technique to have your cellphone be able to use other SIM , without having your mobile phone blocking the new SIM . This method is called unlocking.
It's simple to
unlock htc aria phones, and other mobile phones as well, and it may just take a couple of minutes of your time. You simply need to follow several easy instructions and you will have your mobile phone unlocked and ready to use (with your favored company) in no time at all !
To do this, you must first turn off your cell phone to check out the IMEI number, that is normally found on the back of your cell phone (battery slot), or on the box (there must be a slip detailing all the necessary information, including the IMEI number). Alternatively, you can try this command:
“*#06#”
This, without the quotes, should be inputted in your HTC cell phone. This will return a 15 digit number output, that is the unique IMEI number of your mobile phone. This IMEI number is very important, because this is necessary for the
unlock htc aria code, which is used to unlock your HTC cell phone.
The next thing to do is to contact your mobile partner company and ask them for the corresponding unlock code. Many companies would be willing to give you the unlock code, so long as you have met their requirements. But, a lot of companies will not give you the unlock code, as unlocking your cell phone means automatically canceling your contract with them, meaning you will not have to pay for their services anymore. In effect, they'd lose the cell phone and they would suffer a loss in profits from you. This is unacceptable for them, obviously.
In the event that they don’t give you the unlock code, you can always download an application that would give you the unlock code for your cell phone. Beware though, as many applications have trojans and viruses inside them, thus make sure that you download it from a secure and trustworthy website.
After downloading the application, you just need to enter your unique IMEI number and have the program produce the related unlock code for your phone. After getting the unlock code, power on your phone, but using another SIM instead. The mobile 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 mobile phone is now unlocked!
Of course, there're times that the code may not work. Should this happen, download another application as HTC and some other cell phone companies often change their algorithm in producing said 8-digit code.
Now that you've your mobile phone unlocked, you may now enjoy the benefits of your chosen mobile operator, without spending extra.
