Hello,
HTC recently released its new phone called 'Touch' in the market. Luckily HTC and Airtel-Bharti made the phone available in india with phone locked to Airtel for 2 years.
I want to use HTC Touch with other carrier. Is there any place where I can get 'legally' unlocked HTC Touch?
Thank you.
Yes, u can get it unlocked, but the charges are close to 2.5k. thats what i have heard. wherever u r buying it from, ask there itself if it can be unlocked.
There's always the grey market...
^^ yup but it voids the warranty..
You can still pay for tech support. I mean, if you can afford the HTC Touch, you can pay for tech-support, and it lets you buy it unlocked to use with whatever network you want.
If you have to get it with a warranty (which usually doesn't last more than a year in any case) well...like gauravakaasid said, check with your vendor if he can do it for you directly.
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
I have done some research and found out that some websites will unlock the phone using IMEI number. They are providing this service for $40 which, in my consideration, is very expensive.
I will ask the vendor directly if he can unlock it any cheaper.
$40 is too much for an unlock.. u can get it done under 300 bucks for most fones..
^^i read on another forum it costs around 2.5k in B'lore/Chennai
u must go to any airtel office near u..your prob..will definitely be solve out..
