HTC phones are rapidly rising in popularity nowadays. This is because of its revolutionary and appealing features, which encourages users to buy these phones. With features such as HD video recording / playback, sharp surround sound technology and instant Wi-Fi hotspot, who wouldn’t be tempted to purchase one?
Of course, in order to boost your HTC phone’s capabilities, you’ll have to have a mobile partner. While there are numerous mobile operators in every country, there’s sure to be a good mobile partner, one which is better than the rest when it comes to services and offers.
However, some mobile operators have exclusive contracts on a particular mobile manufacturer(s). Which means that should you buy a phone from them, for example, an HTC Thunderbolt, you are only permitted to use the SIM provided by that company, and any other SIM will be blocked by the mobile phone and will not be used. This presents a problem to those who wish to go to their preferred mobile operator, as the mobile partner that sells the phone they desire doesn’t offer their preferred services.
Luckily, there is a strategy to have your cellphone be able to use other SIM cards, without having your cell phone blocking the new SIM card. This method is known as unlocking.
It’s easy to unlock htc magic cell phones, and other mobile phones also, and it can only take a few minutes of your time. You just need to follow some simple instructions and you’ll have your mobile phone unlocked and ready to use (with your desired company) right away !
To get this done, you must first turn off your cell phone and look for the IMEI number, that’s normally found on the back of your mobile phone (battery slot), or on the box (there should be a slip detailing all the necessary information, including the IMEI number). Additionally, you may try this command:
“*#06#”
This, without the quotes, should be entered in your HTC mobile phone. This will return a 15-digit number output, that is the unique IMEI number of your cell phone. This IMEI number is vital, as this is needed for the unlock htc magic code, which is used to unlock your HTC mobile phone.
The next thing to do is to call up your mobile operator 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. However, a lot of companies will not supply you with the unlock code, as unlocking your phone means automatically canceling your deal with them, meaning you will not have to pay for their services any longer. Essentially, they’d lose the mobile phone and they would suffer a loss in profits from you. This is undesirable for them, obviously.
In the event that they don’t give you the unlock code, you can always download a software which would provde the unlock code for your cell phone. Be careful though, as some applications have viruses and trojans inside them, therefore make sure that you download it from a secure and trustworthy website.
After downloading the program, you just need to input your unique IMEI number and have the application produce the related unlock code for your mobile phone. After getting the unlock code, power on your mobile phone, but using another SIM instead. The cell phone will then show the screen where you have to put the unique 8 digit unlock code. Input the code, confirm, and voila! Your phone is now unlocked!
Obviously, there’re times that the code may not work. Should this happen, download another program as HTC and some other mobile phone companies sometimes change their algorithm in producing said 8-digit code.
Now that you have your phone unlocked, you may now enjoy the benefits of your preferred mobile operator, without paying out extra.
