With all HTC Windows Phone 8X Unlocking Code orders we usually deliver a complete set of unlocking codes. Most of the time you just need the Network Code (NCK) but when needed you'll also receive Unfreeze Code, Reset Key, or Service Provide Code. Prior purchasing you please check if your HTC Windows Phone 8x phone is SIM locked: 1. For all GSM models insert a different network SIM card into your HTC Windows Phone 8x handset, restart and see if the unlock code screen is displayed. For dual GSM-CDMA phones (like Droid Incredible 2, EVO Design 4G, Raider 4G, Hero S, Trophy, Merge).
Buying a new phone like the HTC 8X can be exciting, but what happens if you want to take your device with you to another service provider? If you purchased an unlocked international phone, you can pop in any SIM card you want and go about your business, but things get a little tricky if you purchased your HTC 8X from AT&T, T-Mobile or a number of European service providers since the handset is locked down and is not able to make calls or access data when using a SIM card from any other service provider.

Fortunately, there are multiple solutions. If you’re willing to pay, you can get a SIM unlock code for the HTC 8X for only $12.95. But we have a better solution. If you want to unlock your HTC 8X without spending a dime, call AT&T, T-Mobile or your service provider’s customer service line and they will email you your HTC One X unlock code. The only catch is that you must have an account in good standing (60 days of active service with a pre-paid account).
In order to SIM unlock your HTC 8X, you must have your IMEI number and a microSIM card from another service provider.
