AT&T giving out unlock codes for HTC Titan

[HeyCori]

I was getting my unlock code for my Lumia 900 and asked if I could get the unlock code for my Titan as well. She gave me both unlock codes, no questions asked.

What does unlock get you besides being able to switch carriers? Will it allow updates somehow?

 

[HeyCori]

Unlocked: Can switch to any GSM network
Still branded to AT&T (meaning you're reliant on AT&T to release updates)

Unbranded: Can switch to any GSM network
Can download updates as soon as they hit the server regardless of carrier

I wonder if this will work for the Titan II?

Also, if I use Straight Talk (ATT Network) will unlocking the phone mess anything up with that?

I'm not sure if AT&T is unlocking the Titan II yet. It wouldn't surprise me if they were. However, after looking over the connection setup thread, it appears a lot of people are having problems with their unlocked Titan on other networks (T-Mobile/Straight Talk). Many report no connectivity or losing MMS. I will definitely have to double check with T-Mobile about keeping MMS before I switch.

Thanks. I have been involved with that thread for a while. The connection setup app does not work as intended, and does not even work at all for the Titan II.

I just spoke to ATT and was given the unlock code...but I have no idea how to apply it. I tried searching and just got tons of unlocking sites, but no good instructions that I could find.

Is there any benefit to unlocking it if I just plan to stay with Straight Talk (ATT)? I don't currently have any other sim cards.

It really is a shame how annoying it is to switch carriers. And as much as I want to lower my monthly bill, I simply can't give up MMS. I use it all the time. Then again, I'm also not excited about being on Edge until the re-farming is done. Nor am I sure how being on Edge will affect battery life as I assume the phone will still look for a 3G/LTE signal.

Has T-Mo rolled out the 1900mhz 3/4G coverage where you are yet? I woke up to an amazing "4G" indicator on my Titan with my T-Mo SIM this morning... I live in an outlying area near Seattle. I had it a few times in city, but this was the first day I had it at home...

The Connection Setup App even has the right data/MMS settings onboard for T-Mo...

I talked to T-Mo and the best I could get is 3G in the neighboring city but only Edge at home. I don't think I can live with having Edge at home (or anywhere lol).

Does this mean I can just call AT&T and request a free unlock code for my HTC Titan II?

Yes ! you can request AT&T to provide unlock code for your HTC Titan ii . If they refuse to give unlock code, you can approach any of the online vendors like ProUnlocking.com to unlock your HTC Titan II .
