haha exactly, just having the HTC touch pro2's divine keyboard (+touchscreen) is enough of a reason to use it over my current LG neon. i'll fill you guys in on how all this works out this weekend

so i followed this...

Quote:

1. if u have tf3d on tap start>settings> All setting(soft key)> personal> Security

and it already said "sim card unlocked". im gonna just try put my sim card in this phone now and make a call

hmm....when i try to switch to GSM/UMTS only, it says simcard missing? i inserted my at&t gophone sim card in it...

edit: nvm about the msg above it, that was when i turned on the HTC with the "global" sim card inserted. now i put my gophone sim card, turned it off and back on...and i checked and NOW it requires a sim unlock code. is this what im trying to get from verizon when i call 1800-711-8300? i tried using HTC but obviously this phone has been deactivated...can i use any phone to call em and get this code or only from the HTC (will probably need to ask my dad's company to do it then..)?

thanks a lot for the responses!

You can also spend $20 to get it hspl-unlocked and sim unlocked by going here:
http://rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/

just make sure you follow the directions to a T,

Some people have trouble with it working but I never have, and I have done both sim and hspl unlocking multiple times.

that's also an interesting option, so do i insert my AT&T gophone simcard and use the the code found under my battery on the site...they'll send me the code?

i'll try this if the other way of calling verizon doesn't work, thanks for opening up my possibilities

so can i call the verizon support via my landline and request an unlock code thru customer support? i checked underneath the battery for the code as dialing #06# didnt work from the HTC (as i said, the phone is deactivated)...

i have two codes under the battery. there's:
MEID HEX: A_0_0007B_75_6 (14 alpha-numerical)
MEID DEC: 2_0113_78_11_299_0 (18 digits)

You probably don’t want to be broadcasting those numbers all over the intertubes......
The link will lead you to a download of the unlocker software developed by cmonex and olipro. It will allow you to run the program on you computer, connect throuh active sync, and unlock the spl to flash custom roms developed by the numerous fabulous chefs around these and other parts.
the sim unlock process is similar.

Check in the TP2 upgrades section in the stickies at the top of the TP2 forums...

READ READ READ READ absolutely everything if you are unfamiliar with flashing ppcs. You can totally mess up your device if you don't. Understand exactly what you are doing before you jump into this boat. No one around here will take responsibility if you brick your phone. Just follow the instructions to the letter and you should be fine.

that's why i replaced some of the letters/numbers with "_" haha. i'll look in about flashing software, i dont really wanna do all of this if i only need to call em up haha. but no harm in looking into it.

..umm ok so where is this IMEI number? i cant find it, those two didnt work on cmonex's site...and i obviously can't call #06#...should i just go to customer care and ask for this "IMEI number" and after that the sim unlock code (it's universal for any sim rite? it just makes the phone unlocked). if i dont get the sim unlock code i should then use cmonex's website.

i looked up all these rom flashes, is that all necessary? like the one featured here, i would need to do this after SIM unlock just so i can use the US-GSM carriers?

once again, sorry for all the questions this im a big PPC noob that's y i joined to get educated

edit: nvm found the IMEI number, gonna give verizon a call in the mornnig from my landline, try get that sim unlock code, if that doesn't work...gonna pay the website hopefully that works. after that do i need to still flash any software to get my at&t gophone sim card worknig in it?

You should be able to call that number even though the phone is deactivated. It shouldn't require any service to go through as it just opens up a program.

LOL didn't even see that you had redacted those nmbers.... i was looking at it on my phone.
I hope VZW does it for you, but without it being on a phone line they probably wont. Some of the requirement that are in place for the techs to give you the number are that it has to be active on an account that has been open at least six months, not have had another sim unlocked within the past ten months, and be current on your bill. But you never know, they might just surprise you.

when i try call it it says "we are currently unable to authenticate your phone, please try call again later or dial #8899"...something along those lines lol

and yea i'll try tomorrow morning nearly time to sleep, im just trying to figure everything out rite now. even if they dont give me the code i dont mind spending 11GPB to get the code from that site, as long as i have a solid chance of it working
