How To Unlock HTC Phones

Review released on November 25th, 2009 by Derek

Unlock HTC PhonesLearning how to unlock HTC phones is easy and only takes a few steps. Most HTC mobile phones that have a SIM card in them can be unlocked for free. Basically we just need to turn the phone’s SIM lock off, so you can use your HTC phone with any phone carrier or network. The advantage of this is that you then do not have to be stuck with whoever you bought your HTC phone with.

Unlocking any HTC phone is going to also require an 8-digit unlock code. There is a unique unlock code for every HTC phone and all SIM card cell phones for that matter, which will allow the SIM lock to be disabled. This unlock code is directly calculated off your phone’s IMEI number. You can easily find your HTC phone’s IMEI number by following the steps below:

Find a HTC phone’s IMEI number

1. Turn your HTC phone on.
2. Type *#06# and hit enter.
3. The 15-digit output is your HTC’s IMEI number.

Once you have your IMEI number you can try calling up your phone carrier and requesting a free unlock code. If you don’t meet their requirements, you can try using this HTC unlocking software or you may have to purchase one from an online vendor. If your current phone carrier is T-Mobile, luckily you may be able to get get free unlocking code, which you can learn more about here.

Now that you have your HTC phone’s unlock code, we can begin the steps to unlocking your phone completely free! Here are the steps:

Unlock a HTC phone for free

1. Power on your HTC phone with an unaccepted SIM card in (or no SIM card at all).
2. Enter your 8-digit unlock code you attained earlier.
3. Your HTC phone should be unlocked and may automatically reboot!

Getting a free code from your carrier doesn't always work. Alternatively, I recommend this unlock service when trying to find an unlock code. If they do not support your cell phone then you can also try this website that supports tons of specific phone models.
