    don't just give away your IMEI on a random forum...

    call your provider, they should charge about £20, (i think the earth costs somewhere in the region of £450 billion billion, so you're safe in it not costing the same as the whole earth!)

    just Unlocked my HTC S620 , thought I'd share the method (was locked to BT)

    1) no free codes but purchased a code for £7 from an ebay seller with loads of good feedback

    2) put another network sim card in the phone , turned on and enter the code when asked (you get asked twice)

    3) phone should now show other network on the display

    4)Reset the phone to default to remove any Operator software ( BT software will attempt to reinstall the original BT settings all the time otherwise , also makes the phone run faster)

    a. Press and hold soft1 and soft2 keys.
    b. Press and hold power button for around 1 to 1.5 seconds. Release power button. Keep hold soft1 and soft2 keys.
    c. Later, screen should show instructions to ask user to press '0' key to reset to factory default. (may ask you to press "send" which is the green handset button)
    d. Press '0' within the timeout period, which is only several seconds only.
    e. If no instruction is shown on the screen, repeat steps 1 to 4.

    The timing is sensitive.

    5) download this tool to set up the network settings for you

    http://www.teamatlas.co.uk/page6.html

    Click here to download this handy file. .Extract the files from the archive and run them on your PC. ActiveSync must be installed. Tick the required network and then install the cab ,

    the phone should now be fully unlocked and working on your desired network , send a text etc to confirm

    please note, the hard reset removes all your settings and downloaded apps from the phone , back them up first
