Never heard of changing the imei
why not use a rebel sim untill an unlock code comes out
I want change my IMEI ! How change my IMEI please ?
In my opinion, you'll need a lot of technical skills and sophisticated equipment.
even then in my opinion, you can't practically do it. The IMEI is the electronic fingerprint and can't just change them
======================
À mon avis, vous aurez besoin de beaucoup de compétences techniques et des équipements sophistiqués.
Même alors, à mon avis, vous ne pouvez pas le faire pratiquement.
Its also illegal to change the IMEI at least in the UK
not certain if the imei blocking system rolled out europe wide, it was going to. If it has then it will also be illegal to alter the IMEI in any country that supports it I presume
I think it should be mentioned to the OP that using the Rebel Sim II card will make your phone work without an unlock code (I presume that is actually what he wants, since he wants to use an AT&T Streak in France). That or just try contacting either Dell or AT&T to get an unlock code, it sounds like they are giving them out now?

Yes, I called Dell last week and they gave me the unlocked code without questions. He asked for the IMEI, then showed me how to enter the unlock code. I don't need it, but I figured if I try a TMO card at least I have it handy.
I agree with you, he should contact either one.
This thread is being closed..
Please do not request an IMEI change, this is illegal in most countries and XDA and the community can not assist you with this request.

Anyone knows where can i buy unlock code for Dell streak O2?
It's just pathetic from those companies with their little codes can't they just sell phones without locks!
o2 will give you an unlock code for nothing by all accounts.
I tried to ask o2 for a code and they didn't gave it to me, because I am not an O2 customer!!! And the problem is I can;t find the guy i bought the phone!
Ah, well I suppose a rebel sim would be your next best bet then?
I tried O2 but they said there was another 6 months till they would provide me with the code. So i bought the rebel sim and it works like a charm. The only drawback is you have to use 2.1 as it doesnt support 2.2 yet. Apart from that its well worth it.

DJ Steve's 1.5.1 (2.2 Froyo) works like a charm with rebelsim & 1.2 firmware. The only thing you will have to do is to flash the old 2.1 baseband. No need to flash your rebelsim with buggy 1.3beta firmware (been there done that - when you travel and change cells signal is lost forever).

will try to flash my phone to steve's 1.5.1 (for the fist time flashing) and see how it is
*just flashed, confirm 3G and phone function works on DJ Steve's 1.5.1 with my Optus network + rebel sim 1.2
Get yourself a £5 pay & go, o2 sim register it, then get 02 to unlatch it. It'll be a lot cheaper than paying a third party.
Try these guys http://dellstreakunlock.com/ I called early afternoon on bank holiday Monday and dropped the phone off later that afternoon (in Salford) 10 mins later I had an unlocked Streak, this is now currently running 2.2 fully inlocked full data connection etc etc.
Well worth a look

Hi it was O2
Actually, you can get your unlock code from O2 even if you're not an existing customer. I did! As did quite a few people over at Modaco. Just mail them and tell them that you're travelling soon or are currently abroad and don't have an O2 SIM, etc. etc. You may need to send multiple emails, but you will eventually get your unlock code.

Guys i got my Unlock code when i asked them through the e-mail and i explained my situation and how I'm not from UK and i bought from Ebay and the phone will be useless without the unlock code and they promised me and they did give me the code i just received it and it worked
I'm so happy from O2 now even I'm not from UK
Hey guys, your promt reply is appreciated greatly
Anw, so the solution right now is to email them right? what's their email address?
Because apparently, over at their website (o2.co.uk) you kinda need to enter what kind of account ya have and your handphone number. So basically, what should i enter?
Pls help guys! Thanks!

Read the unlock thread?
I bought a dell streak AT&T (full price) from BestBuy usa. Then i returned to VietNam. But i can't use my streak because it requires unlock code.
I tried to contact with many code provider, but they said that my unlock code is not found (rebelsimcard - unlockallcellular - dellstreakunlock.)
I called for AT&T and they talked me that " streak's unlock code is not found"
Then i called for Dell Support over 6 times. They gave me a service number and number phone to contact with them after 2 weeks. Now I called for them and my phone went out of minute after a hour for waiting (I spent over 60$ just to call for them althought that is number phone toll free because I live in VietNam)
I tried to contact with Dell support thought email. But It can not be to register by Viet Nam user and live chat service is not supported for Dell Streak
I were very disappointed. they said that can not to find unlock code for me. I'm look like a unlucky guy. because they got some problems with my dell streak. they request me to give my streak back for them to check in 30 days. you know, i live in vietnam and i can't fly to usa just to give streak back for them. it's not fair because i paid full price for that thing.
Now i got pda streak without phone. I don't know what I have to do with it. I took much time for it, but i got nothing. It's not fair. It is not my fault!
That's all my situation. Who can help me?
Thanks for reading !
Good luck to all you !
how about mailing your dell streak back to the us?
or you could get a rebelsim or go to dellstreakunlock.com
I would imagine that Dell wouldn't normally have permission to give out unlock codes since they are carrier locked. Usually the carrier provides the unlock code. If AT&T says they can't find your unlock code, but it is locked to them, I think they may be making a mistake.
Keep calling them and ask them for the unlock code. You could also call the BestBuy you purchased it from to ask them for assistance -- my opinion is that BestBuy has a lot of experience with dealing with AT&T, but that all depends on how nice the person you get is.
If you decide to call AT&T yourself, just prose the question: "How come the phone is locked to AT&T and yet AT&T doesn't have the unlock code?"
Sounds like a ridiculous situation to me because they can say they can't give it to you, but really doesn't make sense they don't have it. Try asking for their manager.

You can easily unlock it. The first thing you need to do is to determine whether your phone can be unlocked or not. There is software to do that. It tells you whether your Streak is "unlockable". If yes, unlock it with that same software. You can download it for free. The download site is:
http://www.unlockstreak.com/pages/download-dell-streak-unlock-software
at&t will make a case and you should get the code via email in a few days just call them back thats how i got mine was very simple and good luck!
I bought my dell streak from US and the carrier is at&t , it has 2.2 installed and the seller said it was unlocked , though when I insert my Indian sim , it says sim is phone network locked.
So anyone please point me to some method of unlocking my streak.
Thanks in advance.

You have one of 3 choices... call AT&T and see if they will give you the unlock code
Call Dell directly and ask for the unlock code
Pay a 3rd party to supply you with the code
No one haas answered you becausr first of all these three options are SO OBVIOUS that it doesn't merit a new thread and secondly if you had searched for 5 seconds you would have fiund the info you needed
Hi,
I am from Sri Lanka. I have received a used Dell Streak 7 from my sis which is locked for T Mobile. I tried to get the unlock code from both Dell and T Mobile but they are asking either the purchase documents or details of a data plan, both my sis does not have as she has stopped using the tablet some time back. Currently the tab is in Sri Lanka.
Can anybody give some clue as to what should I do to get this tab unlocked?
Thanks in advance,
Manjula
You'd have better luck asking this in the Dell Streak 7 forum. This is the Dell Streak 5 forum.
However, if your sister doesn't have the proper information, you'll have to pay someone for an unlock code.
To get an unlock code from dell or t-mobile you have to be/show that you are the legitimate owner. And if not your only option is to buy the code from a reputed seller.
There are some web sites as well as ebay sellers that exclusively offer the s7 unlock code. it range from $30 at ebay to $55-$80 in web sites. Yet success rate is not known. Web sites like look more promising than ebay as usual look more promising (as well as the price) than ebay as usual

when call to the simcard with other phone , only receive free line & tablet not show any or ring .

Normally I cut noobs some slack on their first post, but this post is just ridiculous. My recommendation is to sell your units, since you clearly don't have a clue what you're doing. After all, you managed to figure out how to quote what I posted, yet not actually read what I posted.
I'd have to agree, for the fact that the S7 CANNOT MAKE CALLS,
it's been asked dozens of times on the S7 forum.
The hardware is (likely) physically incapable of making calls.

the hardware is not likely .. it is physically incapable of making calls because thats the way it is being designed ...
however, there is this bluetooth hardware that allows you to make call using s7 ... i have seen that and even ipad or ipod can also make calls using it...
By make calls I mean cellular calls, the modem is incapable of making the connection.
I'm not talking about voip calls as it can do it natively.
It has a mic and speakers

Hello friends,
I want to ask if you can recommend any way to unlock a Dell Venue Android phone... it's locked with AT&T... i got it at ebay..
There are software to unlock it like iphone's ?
Software to unlock, contact dell, buy a code ?
Thanks
Hi rodrigohv,
Even I bought my Venue on ebay and it was locked to AT&T network, the seller on ebay, I bought the phone from had listed that he will help if you wanted the unlock code. So I reached out to him and he called Dell and gave me the unlock code. You can try this method and let me know if it works
Thanks.
thanks friend, i already contacted this guy, he agreed to help me, i hope just ATT or Dell can provide the code....
Anyone have more info on unlocking the Venue. I purchased it from someone and it is locked to AT&T. Dell is saying my service provider needs to contact them. And I dont have a service provider now.
Want to unlock
