I phoned t-mobile and said i was going on business abroad and needed my phone unlocked to use a foreign sim.

At first the CS guy said no and that most non-uk sims should work.

I informed him that this is not true and he said that although he could not get it in time he would get the unlock code to me within 28 days and do it for free (he called it a concessionary sim-unlock) instead of the £14.90 it normally costs.

Should get it in a couple of weeks

HTCcode.com suggest just under £15.00 which is not bad at all.

HORRRRRAY!

Recived my unlock code after waiting for 24hours. but i belive the sites have the codes now so if you require an unlock code it should'nt take that long now.

Thats great news - I'm waiting for a new device so once I am happy with that, then I'll unlock it

Whatever you do, dont take this advice, the 2 links are actually the same company and I think the poster is actually involved with the company in some way, he has posted the same links on other android forums.

Have a look at the support forums at htccode.com for many users looking for refunds or missing codes.
