I heard of another company in UK that sales a remote USB unlock. They are called
gsm-tools and sell their service on ebay in the uk. Anyone ever heard of them? They say that they can do 9530's from any carrier.

I have a Telus 9530, and went with gsm-tools and they could NOT unlock it with the USB unlock, he did refund my money via paypal...only after I raised the issue with paypal/ebay.

sorry man,

In all honesty you arnt missing much with the storm..

I concur.....
I have been on the phone with them a few times...and I know they are hard at work with this thing trying to get it to work.....
The communication between Horizon and I has been great....and the wait is not a stretch...the 67.00 is not either.....I have faith that they will get it done..
crossing my fingers for a code before my trip on Sunday!

Any update on this? Anyone know of ANY service that can unlock the 9530's from Bell or Telus?

Cruisin1966 · 01-12-2009, 11:04 AM

No word as of yet, at least on my unlock code

roofus · 01-12-2009, 11:28 AM

So if these people can unlock your phone successfully, can you use it on Rogers if you have a sim card?

I am unclear as to what the advantages of unlocking are?

Yes, it means I could use a Rogers (or Fido) SIM in the phone.

Some of us are just gonna hold our breath (past the blue face point) and wait for you to generate our unlock codes. ;)

Douglas Roe · 01-12-2009, 06:31 PM

Im with you im holding my breath til i go blue i need this sucker unlocked so i can drop my fido chip into it !!!!!!

Douglas Roe · 01-14-2009, 11:58 PM

This may seem like a dumb question but has anyone called telus and tried to get an unlock code yet like the verizon guys are doing?

I've tried but useless

, the CS manager said unlock is illegal and let me ask RIM

You will NEVER find anyone at Telus that will give you an unlock code. Teir policy is for you to use their SIM while roaming, period. That's what happens when you're virtually the only game in town.

Oh, and it's not "illegal" either. Sheesh!!! Most phones can be purchased in an unlocked (or never locked) state. It was just his way of sidestepping the request. He should have said, "Telus' official stand on this issue is not to give out the unlock codes."

theduskes · 01-15-2009, 01:03 PM

I called...
Being a platinum client...I figured they'd so something...
NADA>...
They'd sooner set themselves on fire then give us the code....
My guy has yet to supply....
I really think it's becuase there is one guy at telus who is doing it for all of the guys claiming to be able to unlock and that guy himself is probably FOS.....so I doubt we'll see a code for a long time.....
Im writing this from Washington DC waiting for my flight to FLA...
I really really only wanted to carry my storm but im still stuck with my Cdn BB and my US BB pearl....

For the Telus ones its not through carrier database. We are trying to figure out what the unlock algorythem is. It will be cracked. Marshall, remember that readout you sent me from your device? thats the info thats being used to figure it out. Solution is coming my friend
