    Hi All,

    I am having trouble finding any cheap way to unlock a HTC HERO handset. It is currently locked to T-Mobile, but wish to unlock it for all networks (including Three).

    Market Stalls wants £25.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!
  • I think I managed to unlock my HTC Hero on Orange but I cannot get it to work with other networks. This is what happened:

    I bought a unlock code. I received the code and this is what I got:

    When I turned on the phone with a SIM card other than Orange UK's, I get a screen that reads:
    "SIM network unlock PIN. To make an emergency call, enter the emergency number and tap emergency call"
    On the same screen I get a place to put the unlock code and a button that says UNLOCK.
    Once I entered the code the phone screen says "Network unlock successful".

    It seems to work.

    However, after this, on the main screen I get a symbol with a SIM card and a huge Red "X" on it and says NO SERVICE.

    I cannot connect to the new SIM card's network (I tried both 3 UK and Talkmobile UK), neither worked.

    My questions are:

    -Everytime I turn the phone back on I get the same screen asking me to in put the unlock code. Is this normal or should it NOT repeat it?
    -Is the phone unlocked or not?
    - How can i get the new SIM card network to work if the phone is unlocked?

    Thanks!

    I have found this forum and company that charge £14 to unlock the HTC Hero. In the forum some people have posted success.

    http://www.totalgsm.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=12

    The admin/owner reports full unlock after using their unlock code.

    Anyone else successfully unlock a HTC Hero locked to T-Mobile or Orange?

    Hi,

    Its possible to buy any HTC unlock code from the HTC database for about that price. If they ask for imei number/network locked to/model/ it should be legit.

    Hi,

    Not possible by free code, paid code/shop/market stall/provider only.
