And sadly now in the U.S. unlocking the phone is illegal (I believe only if you are still in a contract).
Stupid crap, glad I got mine done just a week or two before this.

Article.

Got my free code (the service has gone back up a few days ago) today, did the short code method and it worked like a charm. Highly recommended.

Got my free code and was able to unlock the phone per Short Code method instructions. But is there a way for me to verify that the phone is in fact unlocked? I don't have any extra SIM card to try so I wanted to see if this can be checked some other way.

There is a hidden menu somewhere that tells you if it is unlocked or not. I had to use it to unlock because I didn't have a sim card at the time.

2945#*970# if screen says "your phone is not personalized" then you're unlocked.

I just applied for the free version. Says it will take up to 4 days. Hopefully it works out. I don't even really have need for it, I just wanted to get it done before the law of making it illegal passes (if it does).

that's weird, mine asked for code before unlock then shows not personalized screen after successful unlock. did you buy second hand? maybe it's already unlocked by previous owner?

It already did.
But from what I've read, you are good if you got the phone before it passed (just a few days ago).
Also, I used the free version, worked fine for me, took 2-3 days.

What you talkin about Willis?

It says my phone is not personalized. Someone earlier said that meant it was unlocked.

When your phone says that it's unlocked, does it say that for all five items?
When I accessed Unlock page via 2945#*970# to unlock my phone I saw the following five items:

  • Network Lock
  • Network Subset Lock
  • Corporate Lock
  • Service Provider Lock
  • SIM/USIM Lock

Top 4 items were already "not personalized" but when I clicked on "SIM/USIM Lock" it prompted me to enter the unlock code, and when I did, it said that my phone was unlocked successfully. Since then, all five items say that it's not personalized.

Same as my experience.
