Hi,

the MDA Pro from T-Mobile is not SIMlocked but Netlocked. If you buy the MDA Pro without a card contract you will get the unlock code for free. If you bought it with a contract and got the device for less than 749€ , then you have to pay for the unlockcode (99€).

Cheers

This ONLY is valid for German devices, purchased by German residents in German shops. T-Mobile in the Netherlands stated that they will NOT offer the same service, and T-Mobile Germany stated they will NOT offer this services to foreign machines.

...

seems that ....


T-Mobile MDA Pro is indeed SIM locked (at least these models now on sale) but under phone number 01805330160 one can get unlock code after providing IMEI number of this phone - if the phone was purchased without subscription

..

I'm expecting an MDA Pro bought without contract and hope that this is true.

Sorry, I didn't know that. I thought that the TM procedures regarding this are the same in every country.

Copy that!

Called T-Mobile Customer Service a few minutes ago and they told me that you will get the unlocking code for free if you paid the full price without a bundled contract.

With a 24 month contract the unlocking code will cost 99,50 EUR.
And if you wait 24 month you'll get the code for free also ;)

I have sent my invoice to them and now I wait for my code :D

You can use any of the ROMs out here but it will not unlock your device. ASAP you'll get the code you should unlock it.

I have purchased a simlocked MDA Pro from Germany but the guy i bought it from does not have the receipt. As i live in Greece T-Mobile doesnt give me the code. Is there anyone that can help me get the code from T-Mobile Germany with my IMEI No.

Thanks
Alexis
