More About This Service

SIM lock

When you turn on the phone with a desired SIM card and it asks for a SIM Network Unlock PIN, that's how you know your HTC Desire S is SIM locked, also known as Network locked. This is a restriction on the phone by the manufacturer or network so that it can only be used with SIM cards from that one network. The restriction however can be easily removed by unlocking the phone with an unlock code.

SIM locks allow networks to offer greater subsidies when selling a phone, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to use the phone with a network of your choice if you make the effort to unlock it legally. The SIM network lock is put in place on new phones, where as a general block is put in place on stolen phones.

Switching Networks

Switching SIM cards in your HTC Desire S allows you to switch the active network in use on the phone. Many people wish to change network at the end of their contract, as they may get a bonus for starting a new contract with a different network, or may want to use the same one as their friends and family. Likewise, people may change SIM cards while they're on contract with one network, if they want to temporarily use other SIM cards for cheap international calls with Lebara or local SIM cards when spending time in other countries. This can save a great deal of money over several calls, especially by avoiding roaming fees that can cost you a great deal to receive calls as well as make them.

Different Tools

The HTC Desire S is, like it's younger Desire brother, incredibly easy to unlock. Simply enter the IMEI number into the order form and an unlock code specific to that IMEI will be emailed to you in as little as 5 minutes. Each IMEI has just one corresponding unlock code, so it's very simple to use (they're no going through a long list of codes trying each one). Of course as the code is specific to the IMEI, you have to make sure the IMEI is precisely correct by pressing *#06# on the Desire S when it is switched on. The process is completely non intrusive as it doesn't require any special hardware or software, simply entering a code directly onto the phone when prompted to do so.
