Well this is a strange one...

I had heard a while back that when someone called me, they heard the ringtone played back to them. What?

So today while checking my voicemail by dialing the cell number, sure enough I heard the first few notes of the T-Mobile ringer jingle!

This must be a Windows Mobile 5 glitch somewhere? Anyone else experience this one?

Well, here's your problem T-Mobile!

After unlocking one of the MDAs using LokiWiz (see our entire pictorial tutorial here), we inserted a prepaid 64K Cingular SIM card and guess what happened?

The MDA no longer had network registration problems or reception weaknesses. In this article, we have two MDAs - one with a new T-Mobile SIM card and one with a new Cingular SIM card - that we put side-by-side to show you the differences between them when operating under T-Mobile and Cingular simultaneously...

If you have a MDA or 8125 or any other flavor of phone running on the HTC Wizard platform, you can now unlock and relock the simlock on your phone so that you can switch GSM carriers at will by simply swapping sim chips/cards. It has been tested on various devices in overseas as well as here in the USA on Cingular/AT&T and T-Mobile's networks.

This article is our re-worded version of instructions based on the brilliant work of some developers in the XDA developers community. We are offering this information AS-IS with no warranty. This is FREEWARE in its current state as published by its authors. We have done this since the original thread is over 30 pages long and mostly contains praise of the work. We wanted to make this a more readable How-To.

IMPORTANT NOTES!
-Anything you do with and to your phone may very well VOID your warranty or worse - it may make your phone inoperable. You do this at your own risk!!! As the authors have stated, it's experimental software.
-Your level of success at doing this depends on a few factors one of which is the version of the ROM on your phone. It has been reported that newer versions of the ROM may have a write-protect on the disk preventing this to work.
-According to the forum, over 90% of testers have claimed success using many variations of the HTC Wizard platform devices.

And on we go...

If you want to trek over to the HTC America website to find out more about your HTC platform device, here you go.

You won't find the special ROMs and such there. We'll be posting a master list of ROMs in the near future. Have fun!
