[Q] HTC One Mini Network Unlock?

[19ninety]

Hi,
I bought a HTC One Mini unopened from eBay, its locked to the Orange network, however every company I have tried has been unable to get the phone unlocked?! Seems a bit odd, after a little reading I understand brand new phone car be a little harder to locat the unlock code for ... but I've tried at least 5 different companies now with no joy at all.
Does anyone have any ideas why its being so difficult?

Cheers,
19

Damn it, guess I'll have to go the route of rooting Was hoping not to in case the nice new phone ends up bricked, not worried on old phones but rooting a brand new one scares to poop out of me...

I bought codes from them and they keep saying code not found. I tried quite a few websites, and it was the same. Just bought another one and hope it works, but I was wondering how long it took for you to receive the code? The estimated time is 2-5 minutes, but so far i haven't received a thing.

took about 5 business days... which is way longer than usual

another odd thing is that when i put in my IMEI it showed up as a blackberry.
