What Is Unlocking?
Unlocking your HTC enables you to use your HTC with the network of your choice
When you purchase an HTC either on pay-as-you-go or on a contract, the network carrier includes a SIM card.
Network carriers "lock" your HTC so it works only with their specific SIM card. The only reason they lock your
HTC to work with there SIM card is to ensure you use their service for an extended period of time. If you attempt
to use an alternative SIM card in a locked HTC, you will receive error messages, such as SIM Card Not Accepted.
Unlocking your HTC enables you to use it with any SIM card from any GSM network in the world.
Aside from being able to use your HTC with the GSM network of your choice there are many other great benefits

Unlocking Method:
There are two primary methods for mobile phone unlocking. Via unlock code and via software, the method used to unlock a
handset depends largely on the manufacturer, as well as the carrier. For HTC's it is possible to unlock absolutely all models

Why Unlock Your HTC?
There are many benefits to unlocking your HTC. Network freedom is the primary reason to unlock, but money savings
and increasing the value of your handset are also great incentives.
Save Money.
Unlocking your HTC allows you to use it's quad band capabilities, allowing you to use your HTC in more places around the world at greater financial savings. An unlocked HTC allows you to use it with a SIM card from any GSM network. By opening up your HTC to other networks, you can take advantage of cheaper cellphone rates from locally competing networks at home or while abroad, drastically cutting down on the cost of calls and text messages.
Additional Phone Features.
An unlocked HTC can use a dual SIM adapter. This enables your HTC to accommodate two SIM cards so you don't have to
physically switch from one to another. A mobile phone with dual SIM cards is great for those who frequently travel abroad or who want
to separate work and leisure calls. The majority of these SIM adapters no longer require you to modify your mobile phone, and the process
is as easy as switching your phone off and on again. You can find many of these adapters in cellphone stores and on ebay.
Increased Resale Value.
If you decide to sell your HTC, you will find that an unlocked one is up to 300% more valuable than a locked one. Offering a handset
that is unlocked and completely free of restrictions will be far more appealing to potential buyers as they will instantly be able to use their existing SIM card or one from their chosen carrier. Simple. Be assured the unlocking process is a simple and safe one. There is no technical knowledge required, and our user friendly and comprehensive instructions guide you smoothly through the process.

Our instructions and unlock code will allow you to unlock your HTC within 30 seconds after receiving your unlock code. Unlocking a phone is simply a process that frees your phone from carrier restraints placed on it by your provider.
There's no reason to have a locked HTC for a day longer. There are simply too many financial benefits and too much a sense of freedom not to spend a small amount of money to unlock your HTC today.
