i was told that it was sold out, and there's a 'do not order' note on the phone.

It's possible to get a PC points bonus too with the PC Financial credit card. I think it's $25 worth.PennyArcade wrote: ↑
One S was $0 upfront with $75 gift card from PC. $169.50 tab + $5 or so for the prorated monthly plan. Free unlock (will discuss the agony in a new post).
TOTAL COST = $99.50

you can thank HTC smartsync for that. See the following thread at XDA on how to disable it:supersaiyan wrote: ↑Any body else having wifi problems? I am not receiving push notifications when my screen is off.

Much appreciate you amalgamating these steps, waiting for my phone to fully charge but looking at the unlock bootloader steps, seems I am screwed using windows 8 as the Android sdk versions only support Windows 7. I read to the end where it ask you to copy a token over then hit submit, what happens after that?PennyArcade wrote: ↑So I successfully sim unlocked the phone. Let me tell you, it is NOT easy, even for a person that has rooted and installed custom roms with other phones in the past. Why? because the steps to unlock on xda and other forums have gaps in it that took me a while to figure out.
This post is for the HTC One S that is brand new, no custom firmware etc on it. Also you haven't installed any software on your PC.
I'll try to attempt to lay out the steps here and also fill in some gaps.
SUMMARY
You have to
- unlock the bootloader using HTC's approved service
- install recovery software to load roms and such
- grab unlock codes from your phone
STEP 1: Unlock the Bootloader
Congratulations! You have now unlocked your bootloader.
- Go to http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
- Register for an account
- Once finished, select All Other Supported Models and then click on Begin Unlock Bootloader
- Agree to the terms and such
- You will see steps to start unlocking the bootloader. Before that, Make sure you have all the Required Resources on the right side of the screen.
- Follow the instructions all the way through
- NOTE: the drivers that the phone installs onto your computer when you hook up the phone as a usb drive are NOT enough to get the bootloader unlocked. You NEED to install HTC Sync.
- TIP: when they say press power button and the down volume arrow, you don't need to keep holding the power button down after it turns on: just hold the down volume button
- TIP: make sure you have enabled usb debugging and turned off power boot (forgot what it is called, but you need to ensure that the phone is OFF off).
