Unlocking a phone ?
Just bought a HTC Desire HD and need to get it unlocked from T-Mobile so I can use my work sim, well once work have worked out how to change from a BlackBerry plan on the contract as non BB data usage is very pricey.

Ive no idea if there is a free method of doing it but I have used the people below to unlock around 40 blackberry handsets, the guy even gave me a volume discount.
No experience of HTC unlock with them but BB unlock was super smooth

I have used these people quite a few times, even dropped in at the shop once. Nice bunch, very helpful.

If you fancy giving it a go yourself, have a look into "rooting" the phone. It basically provides full access, like admin on a pc. Once you have that, you should be able to unlock very easily.

Is it actually locked? My Desire HD (on Orange) was supplied unlocked.
Get yourself a GiffGaff sim too - they do free unlimited internet.
