I got mine unlocked through Horizon, very fast! Storm is great although it takes a little getting used to as I was using the curve. I really like the larger screen, makes things easier to read.

Is there anyone try to get unlock code from Telus? I've gone to China and can't call others or recieve calls with roaming network, and China Mobile's sim card is refused.

I called last night and spoke to two different Verizon CSR and they won't give me the unlock code. They advice me to go to the nearest Verizon store so they can unlock it for me. I called the general customer service number though! Is that handled only by Global Customer Service?

Default just a little understanding

With all the forums topics its hard to sort them all out and get all the pros and cons about it and am considering on getting 2 9530 storms and getting the unlock code from Horizon. But what I would like to know since I am a AT&T person are there any of the Storm that will not work with AT&T ?

just remember one thing, global services will NOT give out unlock codes if your account Isn't in good standings for atleast 2 full months! in other words, you cannot have a Late Payment, Nor can you have any dollar amount carried over onto your next billing cycle..

ok i just bought a 9530 verizon storm from someone on craigslist lol, so i want to unlock it for my t-mobile sim (i currently have a curve+bb data plan) so i called verizon and they told me i couldnt get the unlock code because i dont qualify cause im not a customer and i dont have the phone activated..well ofcourse i dont.

So is there a way i can unlock my new storm for tmobile? i know there's site's that offer unlock codes for 50 bucks, but does my phone have to be activated in order for it to work? please help!

No, you do not need the device activated if you pay for the code from GSM PhoneSource - When Only The Best Will Do or HorizonWirelessOnline.com - Horizon Wireless, The World’s Cellular Repair Center ß.

Question

I have read consistently about unlocking your device. Can someone please tell me the advantage of unlocking my device, please.

Devices get SIM unlocked so they can be used with a GSM/UMTS provider other than the one that sold the device.

I don't know about that at all, I am wondering what will work if you use a different sim?
I just called and mine is unlocked no hassle nothing so easy!
