More About This Service

SIM lock

When the HTC Desire is sold with a particular network either on a contract or pay as you go (pre pay) then it is usually sold locked, meaning that it can only be used with SIM cards from that one network. This is not a contractual restriction, but just a setting on the phone that can be deactivated with an unlock code.

The SIM Network Unlock PIN message that appears when you turn it on with a different SIM card is how you can know that it is network locked. This is different to blocking which is done by the network or police when a phone is reported as lost or stolen. Contact us if you're not sure if your HTC Desire is network locked or blocked.

Switching Networks

Switching networks in the HTC Desire by swapping the inserted SIM card is a very important facility for a large number of consumers and business users. This is just a matter of changing what network you are using in the phone at that moment, and is not a permanent one way change. If you're on a standard network such as Vodafone, you may wish to use a local network when travelling to another country, and perhaps even a discount international call network for making calls abroad from your home country. All these changes require you to have an unlocked phone. In addition, there is a very important resale market for the HTC Desire and selling it unlocked will likely increase the sale price as any consumer will be able to use it with their own SIM card.

Different Tools

The HTC Desire was the first of the Android HTC handsets to be truly hassle free to unlock. Each handset has its own specific unlock code, so after you fill in the order form on this page including the 15 digit IMEI number from your phone, you'll receive that one unlock code. The phone may ask for one unlock code (SIM Network Unlock PIN) which you enter, and then it may ask for another code, at which point you simply enter the same one. Hey presto, your Desire can be used on any mobile carrier. There are no choices presented on the order form and unlike some competitors, there is only one price and that is the price displayed.
