yes, you will need to pay if you try to unlock it from the same home. if the phone is unactivated with your carrier, you may have a shot at unlocking it from a friend's house though (but don't quote me on that)

so this is for HardSPL unlock, not for Sim Card...

i thought HardSPL unlock was always free

I was able to unlock my replacement phone at my job last week. I had no problems, but it was a different computer, different connection and was Win XP and not Win 7 like I run at home.

damn, so i need to find a different location each time i want to unlock my phone. WEAKSAUCE. they are juicing the hell out of people.

I hope someone can figure out exactly what they are using to monitor the unlock... computer, MAC address, ip?

almost sounds like they ID your computer... when I get a replacement I will report back on that theory. I reinstall windows all the time so who knows i might be able to unlock again?

someone mentioned earlier in the thread that simply using a different location won't do the trick because it logs information about you. that's why i said that it may work in a new location if the phone is unactivated with your carrier, therefore isn't associated with an account or phone number yet

that can't be it because people have tried to unlock from a different location altogether (different ip, different computer, etc) without luck. so it's more likely the log your phone number, imei, ip address, etc and if any red flags come up in the verification process, you're denied

well i can't figure it out...

they can't log my cellphone number since another phone will have another number. Each line on my account had another number, each line is under a different name... what is there to log?

cant be mac id...cant be subnet mask...they have not responded to my ticket...surprise surprise...but i will get the to the bottom of this.

it doesn't say ur phone needs to be activated in order to unlock right? so unlock before activation a good idea?
