or is that pretty much the only way (sim unlock that is )
i can't garantee anything, but give cingular a call.
tell them you have a blue (AT&T) SIM card and the phone is rejecting it.
the 3125s were programmed to be locked from AT&T, but when they merged back into AT&T, the phones needed to be unlocked for new subscribers (AT&T) using existing (Cingular) phones.
they might try to call your bluff, but maybe not... it's free, and worth a shot.
I am a Cingular customer (ATT) and I recently called them and told them I was traveling abroad and they gave me the code...no problem.
$20??? Where at?
Where can I get my Cingular 3125 unlocked for $20? If not $20 then what is the cheapest place?

Agreed, but most posters asking for "unlock" want SIM unlock, and there's no free one of those right now.

It wouldn't do you any good - the unlock codes are IMEI (handset) specific.
I recently got my hands on a 3125 (im a previous Smartflip owner) on ebay, but came locked and with a busted outer lcd display, then tried to log on the webpage and then asked me for a phone line number. Since is purshased from ebay, i dont have one. How can i request warranty or unlocking service from them without a phone line?

I do not think Cingular will give you the unlock code w/o having service with them. You'd need a buddy w/Cingular or to do an outside SIM unlock....

They wouldn't give me the code until mine was activated for 3 months with their service - i think that's their standard policy!

you need to contact them and request it, you might need to pay as well
I assume that having 3 means you bought them elsewhere than on contract?
Or do you have 3 contracts?
You also said Athena, not Ameo. I thought the Athena was unlocked already?
Can you clarify the situation a little please?

i think you also needs to be the original owner of Ameo inorder to unlock it. I have bough a T-mobile MDA PRO from ebay before as well, and the only way to unlock it officially is to get the owner to call them and get the code for me.

You need to BUY an unlock code sorry. ... and No,... No free methods that I know of.
There are lots of websites around, I have never used one though.
I use a £3 turbo sim, works brilliantly, lets me use my O2-UK SIM in my Orange network locked handset with no problems.

No problems.
1st thing I would do is get AmonRa's custom recovery installed. Then you will be able to change ROMs when ever you want.
Follow BTDAG's guide in my signature, read the whole thing through including the FAQ at the bottom,... then start playing!!!!

Yeah its locked to Orange. A turbosim is something that you stick to your own simcard, it then tricks the phone into thinking its using the network it was intended for. I got mine from good 'ol ebay.
Search for turbo sim or rebel sim
To Unlock it from Network Lock,you can use the Unlock code.............To get the Unlock code you can reach the site Onlinegsmunlock.com and get the code and Unlock it...Then You can use with any GSM Network Sim card....
My phone was locked to t-mobile, and i needed it unlocked...
Went to a local service, i payed 12 euros for unlocking (not with codes) ...
I not sure how those guys unlocked it, but i know they used a jtag and maybe used a hboot that obviously skips the "locking" security Don't know for sure (they didn't disassembled the phone for soldering pins and stuff the screws are still with the "void" sticker)
You can get an unlock code for a reasonable price at this site:
simunlocks . com
HTC uses database with codes, so there is no miss and hit.
Thanks
Has anyone been able to full unlock their phone and also reboot and have the unlock stick without having to reenter the code? I tried unlockthatphone.com and no success. It is always asking me to reeneter every time i reboot and its freaking annoying :/
Yes. I got my code from htcimeiunlock.com.
However I believe people when they say they are experiencing this issue. It seems there truly is a batch of Titans with some issue such that unlock codes don't work the way they should.

That's a common 'issue' on all WP7 phones. You need to download a HTC specific app (HTC Apps->Connection Setup) to switch the network profile to T-Mobile.

Then, you are SOL. MMS configuration is not exposed in WP7 and the only ways to change them are either via ADC or specific apps from manufacturer. For carrier locked phones, ADC is typically turned off. That leaves you only one way to configure/switch it.

No, I called and get the similar answer which is what I expected. Basically all new phones from A&T have so called exclusive period. Typically it is 10-month from the release day. But past experience told me you can typically call in before that. I'd expect Titan unlock code will be available around summer (around july). If you want free unlock code, that's the only way.
I am currently with T-mobile and accidentally bought a "locked" Lumia 920 to AT&T from ebay.
Because I was short on money I even bought one with cracked screen but I cannot use it with T-mobile...
I visited AT&T, T-mobile store and they won't unlock it and since I am not a AT&T customer, I can't ask them either.
I tried downloading multiple softwares and other variety of things but seems no success...
Is there anyone who can generate unlock code for me? That would be really appreciated.
I am facing similar problem. At&t said the customer to whom the phone(imei) is linked can ask for the unlock code no one else. And my seller is such a jerk he simply ignored my requests to help me. As the servers are down no third party code provider is in position to help.

Search "CellUnlock" with Google.
Sent from My Nokia Lumia 920.
There are a host of stores online that will sell you an unlock code for 50 USD or less. You can also call AT&T and tell them you bought for your daughter or son or even yourself to use while you are overseas for month. You need it unlocked so you can use it on a network over there. They will give you a code as long as the phone is not on a contract.
Unlock code for AT&T devices are pretty cheap in fleabay. Paid just around US$3.50. Worth it to get out of hassle and unlock easily.
Rogers device are around $15 online.

I recently bought this amazing phone on ebay, and I'm trying to sim unlock it, the phone is not blacklisted, or financed, but It cannot be unlocked since its not in T-mobile database(even when it is branded tmobile phone with all the tmobile bloated apps), since T-mobile or LG cannot unlock it I was looking for a Root-unlocking solution for this since I dont want to start the process of returning the phone at this time of the year and I already paid for my country customs fees to get the phone here.
Is there any way to sim unlock the LG h901 using root mods?
Thanks, I will appreciate your answers
As per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/unlocking-sim-tmobile-t3241032, it seems the only unofficial way to sim unlock may be to pay $44.90 here: https://www.unlockbase.com/phone-unlocking-service/tmobile-device-unlock-app-official-unlock/. Someone said it worked for them anyway..

I already tried that, and I got a refund from them, and two more unlocking service sellers (one seller on ebay and from releasemycode.com) the last one told me they all use the same server provider for the tmobile device app unlock, so it is useless to go to other unlock service. Thats why I open this thread to seenif there is any other way to sim unlock this phone
@yael20
Here's two options :
1. Ask your friend that have tmo service to call tmo and register your phone IMEI with their number and call tmo to unlocked it using device unlock app... since your phone not blacklisted or No financed.....[Worked for me].
2. Unlocked the BL... Install twrp... Root it and flash custom Rom ....install SuperSU and install regionlockaway.apk by @Chainfire same the creator of SuperSU and maybe it would unlock the SIM card. It worked for me in the past.... With Samsung ...htc phone....not sure LG phone.

Looks like we will have to change our phones's CSC
To make it work, that raise a few questions:
1 - Can we change our CSC like it is done on Samsung Galaxy phones?
2 - can we flash the International, verizon, or ATT rom's CSC on our phone so we can get it unlocked or make it unlockable?
3- can I change my phone's imei to and old phone's imei that I have at home from the carrier where I want to use the phone with?
I'm not an expert and some of this questions may dont make any sense, but I'm just looking for some options to make this work...
successful non-TMobile SIM unlock
Bought mine SIM locked outright from T-Mobile with no activation, contract, or account. Paid $49.99 to Cellunlocker.net. it took 2 days. They were able to add my IMEI to the list so that the T-Mobile Unlock app saw mine as eligible for unlock. I selected permanent unlock & it worked without hiccup. I use mine on cricket now w/ no problems. I do not work for them or care to promote- just letting you know what I did that worked.

Thanks, I'm going to try that, but guys from unlockbase.com told me they all use the same server for unlocks, is that true?
Not sure, but I paid last Saturday and was notified that they were done Monday. No code or anything, no refund or apologies. I used the tmo unlock & it worked. That's all I know.
I'm in the same situation, bought it in eBay
I've tried:
Cellunlocker.net
Unlockriver
Unlockpanda
Releasemycode
... Now waiting response from onlineunlocks.com
But if they all use the same server as you said, so it's going to fall. =/
Buying from t-mobile outright is different story i guess. But my case the eBay seller said it was bought in bulk from LG, and not from t-mobile, maybe that's why cannot be unlocked. Sadly, I'm going to return it tomorrow.
I'm wondering what people's IMEI will show here: http://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
I imagine that the phone has to show as valid there to be unlockable by these services?
My seller said kind of same thing too, he said he "used to work fot T-mobile" and got it as a gift directly from LG , so when I check the Imei in tmobile database it doesnt show as blacklisted or financed, but it is like it doesnt exist in their database. The seller says it has to be activated and used for at least 30 days in T-mobile's network to get registered in their database.
I'm not as lucky as you, my seller is open for a return and refund me, BUT I paid 18% of the phone selling price (500+) in customs ( since I bought it from outside of United States) and I cant get a refund on that, I choose to wait for now....
Nevermind, dumb question haha. Sorry

I also tried cellunlocker and swiftunlocks and was refunded. So what I did since the seller on swappa wouldn't refund was I called tmobiel and bought a north american roaming package which is $50 usd per month and I'm at least able to use the phone. Basically we need to have it in use for 40 days and they will unlock it for us.

Phone came with a tmo sim card. If yours was bnib it also should have. You should check the box. I'm actually considering staying with tmo since their prices for the roaming plan is better than what bell can offer in a regular plan and they have better features. Ie free visual voicemail.
But if you don't have a sim in the box you should call tmo and order one. I think that this is the only route for some of us to take.

I am in a similar boat - I bought the phone from Ebay and it was T Mobile (brand new sealed). No service was able to unlock it for me so I called T Mobile and opened an Pre-Paid account. I put $10 on and used this while in the States to show it registered on T Mobile system.
I called to ask if it was registered on their network and they said yes. When I contacted T Mobile today, they said they can unlock it today if I put alteast $100 in refills. So once I did that, and called back - they then told me they still could not unlock it as my IMEI number was not registered in their system and my phone was not showing as a T Mobile phone!
I escalated the issue to the Support team and hopefully hear a response in the next two days. I told them that I did all they asked me to do including calling several times to verify the phone was with T Mobile so they either unlock my phone or refund me the $100 I paid.
