Yep, ring them up and ask them for the code, and when they give you a price if applicable, search the net for something cheaper. There is no free unlock for the X10.
unlockitnow.com
Hi,
I don't think I should contact at&t for unlock code as I bought this used phone off craigslist.
I just made $15 paypal payment to unlockitnow.com to get an unlock code.
Hopefully I'll get the unlock code in a day or two; fingers crossed.
Thanks,
San
cellunlocker.net
Hi,
unlockitnow.com could not find the unlock code in normal way; it asked me to go for another way costing $70. It is too costly.
Instead, I paid $40 to cellunlocker.net, it sent me a software to unlock the phone, but software is not working. I sent emails asking for refund or send me a correct software; 4 days gone, nothing heard from them yet; calls to toll free support no always says representative is busy... :-(
Thanks,
San

think HTCCODE is fine but depends on what lock is on your phone
not sure if davinci lets you unlock it having used all the attempts
cellunlocker.net
After 3 days of continuous dialing 1-800-507-9077; I managed to speak with cellunlocker.net, the representative told me that the software unlock is not working because the unlock servers are down for more than a week. He promised me to send the unlock code in 3 business days.
I'll post again after 3 days.
Thanks,

Good luck. Let me know if it works out for you. I am also looking to unlock my AT&T X10a. Thanks.
I am also in the same boat.
My AT&T branded one arrives tomorrow and I need a way to unlock it. I see some methods on Youtube, may need to revisit those but if anyone has a sure way of doing it, I'd be grateful.
XPERIA x10a white
Hi there.
I am in the same boat. Just waiting for server comes up...
Anyone had success in unlocking XPERIA X10a phones?
Contact this guy - [email protected] good results. He charges you $30, unlocked mine and it works well even after 2.1 update. I use Tmo in the US
cellunlocker.net
Folks,
Just want to let you know that cellunlocker.net did not provide me any unlock code yet... I'm tired of waiting.. 2 weeks gone after I paid $40 to it... I have opened a PayPal dispute case.. hoping that paypal will manage to get my money back...
Thanks.
Got refund cellunlocker.net
Folks,
I want to inform you that I got the refund within minutes after I opened dispute case in paypal.
Overall, I can say that cellunlocker.net is not the bad company who will steal your money... but it definitely don't hesitate to waste customer's time.
I also want to inform you that, I bought unlock codes from cellunlocker.net at least 3 times in the past with super fast delivery. This is the first time it kept me hanging for 2 weeks.
Thanks,
San

hi wout123: Did you use paypal? if you have been waiting for more than a week I would suggest you to open a paypal case for refund.
Case should be opend as "no item received".
If you open case as "wrong item received", there is fair chance you won't get refund.
Thanks,
San
refund = no unlock code !! I need this unlock code !!
The main server with the unlock code is already down from October untill now !
They promised the "Believers" that after few days the server will come up again online....
They promised you everything execept the unlock code
Here I have a example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sorry the software will be down until tomorrow as the program has gone offline again. We are sincerely sorry, however this is the fastest way to unlock your phone, we are working to resolve this situation for you asap
If you cannot wait, please let us know and we will cancel the order for you
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, that is correct. We did receive a notification today that the update should be complete tomorrow.
Thanks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hate that people actually pay money for unlock codes. AT&T will give you an unlock code depending on certain conditions. There was a lawsuit against them a while back which resulted in them stating they will give out unlock codes upon request (unless it's an iPhone) given certain conditions are in place.
AT&T Settles Lawsuits Over Software Locks on Mobile Devices
If you owned an AT&T Wireless, Cingular Wireless or AT&T Mobility account between March 12, 1999 and April 2, 2010 and purchased a wireless handset other than Apple iPhone for use with these services, you may be entitled to benefits from this settlement.
The proposed class action settlement doesn’t provide money (except to the lawyers, of course), but you can receive a code that unlocks your handset. According to the settlement notice, these codes will be provided to AT&T customers based on three eligibility requirements:
(1) Customers with postpaid accounts who have completed a minimum of 90 days of active service and are in good standing and current in their payments.
(2) Customers with prepaid accounts who have provided a detailed receipt or other proof of purchase of the handset.
(3) Customers who own handsets for which AT&T has an exclusive sales arrangement with a manufacturer of less than 10 months will have to wait until the 10-month period expires before they can receive an unlocking code.

You can also read this forum post here for what you can try if you ARE NOT an AT&T customer.
You could also just tell them (like I did back in 2005) that you are going out of the country and will be out for a while and need to use the phone there with a local sim card. I was going to Iraq (army deployment) and got an unlock code to use with a local pre-paid phone service there.

I got an X10a last week locked to the at&t network and have been trying with 0 sucess to get it unlocked. I've tried everywhere online, no one can do it. Anyone know why the unlock servers are down? Was it a crackdown from SE? I paid $40 to htccode.com and they haven't refunded my money or been much help. I tried MobileInCanada.com for IMEI remote unlock, they said they couldn't do it and refunded my money. I used my friends att account to call them and ask for the code, and they put the IMEI in their system and got a message that the phone is an at&t exclusive and don't have th unlock code for it. I don't get it. This isn't an iPhone, it's an Android phone that's been out for almost a year. The admin on the setool.net forums where the unlock server is held has been very vague about it ever coming back online. He always just says "maybe 1 week, 1 month, maybe never"
What's the deal?

They answered (Nov 12):

Since your ATT claimed they don't have this code at all, the code can be from manufacturer only that can be more expensive, than $39
I have similar problem, but mine is locked to T-Mobile UK. I am a T-Mobile US customer. TMO UK customer service has standard procedure - they can send unlock code for 15 GPB (around $24), but they provide this service to current TMO UK customers only and send the code by regular mail, so this customer should have street address. So I am stuck too.

Yeah, I know. I get free service from T-Mo because my wife works for them. I like the x10 better then any of their Android phone so I can deal with EDGE+WiFi.
By the way, I wonder if this has anything to do with the recent trouble unlocking...

I like Ericsson and Sony Ericsson - their flagships usually have almost no errors and work pretty long. In addition, Ericsson is one of the main manufacturers of infrastructure equipment for mobile communications, so they can plan better handset design. And ergonomics - interface and no restriction to use third-party programs. I never had any problems with phone book copy from old handset to new one.
I read this article already and posted link in one of threads of this forum. I was almost sure that all unlocking business works through insiders and this article confirms this. It is pretty possible that this is the end of all unlocking business in form that we knew it. Maybe that pushes forward cracking the lock itself.
I paid 5 bucks on ebay, worked fine
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
good thing i bought an unlock code a few months ago when it was on a deal
$1 on mobileincanada
So, I have some relatives who lives in the US who can buy me a cyan 920 in December which is unavailable outside the US. The US pricing is also impressive since the no-contract version costs just $449 unlike the actual version that will come here (Indonesia) at about $649 and by about January or something. I also found this website which can unlock the 920 for $49.99. Should I take the plunge?
http://www.cellunlock.net/Unlock_AT_T_Nokia_Lumia_920_p/unlockattn920.htm
I would do more research on the internet to see if the website is actually legit. The places I get my unlock codes are from eBay from Top Sellers.
For the AT&T Lumia 900, they have unlock codes on eBay, but you have to complete the two year contract.
There might be a way to unlock the phone.
If your relatives can call AT&T confirming you can get the phone unlocked if they buy it outright (full retail price)
I think you should be able to get it unlocked if you pay full price.
Also I found this site who afirm they will unlock it too.
http://www.gsmunlockusa.com/u-s-a-at-t-nokia-lumia-610-710-800-820-900-920(1-3-days)-p-908.html
Hope someone can try and confirm if this one is a trusted site.
Unfortunately, AT&T is not being very helpful regarding unlocking the 920. Even when paid full-price. I don't intend on actually buying the phone with contract, but I just want to know if you guys have similar success/fail stories since this will be the first time for me to unlock phones. (also the reliability of the websites would be awesome)
PS. I also wonder where these websites get the unlock codes from, and what would happen if those codes would not work.
when the first generation of Windows Phones arrives, i bought a Samsung Focus V1.3 (which is my actual phone) and i get the unlock code from FastGSM. I ask them for the unlock code for Lumia 920 and i get this response:
Hello,
sorry but the unlocking service is not available yet for this phone model.
Kind regards,

the word "yet" makes me think that unlock codes arent far away.
Cellunlock,net is reputable website - I have gotten unlock codes for many a phone through them. Only once, they were not able to get an unlock code for me, but they refunded my money promptly.
For the AT&T 920, they do claim a turnaround time of 5-10 days. I'm not sure why it is so long, but do you want to wait that long to find out?
BTW, if you do decide to go with Cellunlock.net, use the code "CRACKB50" for 50% off on the unlock price.
Hope some AT&T Lumia owner try to unlock it. If they unlock it, i can buy my own lumia and use it in my country with no risk. BTW, using the voucher code from rajeshr the unlock code cost 19.99.
Edit: I found other service for unlock rogers devices
http://unlock.canadagsm.ca/nokia/Nokia-Lumia-920-LTE-network-unlock/
don't know if canadagsm is a trusted site, but again, some one can try it.

ive had two lumia 920's and ATT actually sent me the unlock code for the first one! However, I think the CSR made a mistake when submitting my request, because when I received the unlock code it says its for a Lumia 900.
Did it work? I'm not sure because I have already exchanged the phone for another color!
I submitted another request for the second phone, but promptly received a notice saying they wont unlock because of the exclusivity period.
@rohitgarewal: How did you ask for the unlock code and for what reasons?
@BigwaveMx: Were you able to use tethering with other carriers after the unlock?
Thanks, btw for the replies!
i haven't (yet) a lumia 920. Still waitting to buy the unlock code for use it in my country. However, I read in some places that there is a problem with tethering in AT&T and Rogers devices. For me, is not a big deal have tethering. I bealive the international version works fine.

Got 20 digit code from ATT
I called and requested an unlock code to use the phone while traveling abroad (Bought the phone at full price). I did get an 20 digit unlock code but it didn't work. Called them back and they said they will send a new request. I'll let you know how it goes.

I don't think the developer unlock is the same as network unlock. From what I read on that link, developer unlock allows you to sideload (using an Android term; i.e. not from the market) apps for development and testing. It does not say anything about unlocking the phone for other carriers.

Any news about the unlocking for AT&T devices? Still looking for a cheap unlocked Lumia but can't find anything cheapper than $777 US
Expansys USA is apparently selling the AT&T branded 920 unlocked for $620. Can't post links yet, not enough posts. It is recently went from "We have no confirmed lead time for this item" to "Stock Usually Ships In 10 Days." This looks like a very attractive choice, if you don't mind the att logo I'm considering buying one of these.
Ok, i will check it. Thanks for the heads!
I found a new service to unlock AT&T lock. Sadly I haven't any IMEI code to test. Maybe someone can try it. Btw, I doesn't know if is a trusted site.
http://www.unlockitnow.com/Nokia/Lumia_920_unlock_code.php
I've been emailing every site I find that says they can unlock the phones..
So far they have all replied negatively.
I just emailed your site and I'm waiting on a reply now.
I also called AT&T and gave them a sad story.. hoping that they would sympathize with me and give me the code.
That didn't work either
After I get a response from these guys.. I'll post up a list of all the sites I've tried.
Been following this story for a while about how it seems like no online unlock service has been able to unlock the att lumia 920. I have also seen that multiple people it seems were given codes from at&t that would not work. Well last week I submitted an unlock request for my lumia 920 through at&t over the phone and today I received an email that had the 20 digit code. So I put an old T-Mobile sim in the phone, turned it on, entered the code, and it said pin accepted! This confirms that at&t is at least able to issue correct unlock codes but it doesn't explain why some work and some don't. (As far as I can find I'm the first one to actually get a working code)
For everyone who is still waiting for an unlock it is worth a shot to give them a call. If they say they won't unlock it due to the exclusivity deal, ask for a supervisor who can put the unlock request through.

I'd assume you won't have much luck if you aren't a current att customer. The supervisor who put in the unlock request told me that they can submit an unlock request for any phone except the iPhone which has to be out of contract to be unlocked. My lumia is under contract but I've also been with att for at least 7 years.
1 hour of battling. 1 agent escalated to sup, no result. Another agent and another escalation, no results for me.

Same fore me - no real battling though and "only" 30 mins on the phone for nothing. Agent also spoke with supervisor. June was what they told me (so much for "it's the same for all Lumia 920s, not just your device..."). And, of course, they even don't have the codes yet.
Idk why they won't budge for you guys, the only thing I can say is keep trying until you get an agent who will submit the unlock request for it.

Will do. I tried to gently push him to still submit a request, even though it fails, so that I had something in return (if it is just the negative reply from the unlock team) to follow up with. However, he would not submit the request because it would be the same result as he is telling me - no code available for my IMEI yet.
I'm currently very busy at work so I can't spend 30-60mins each day chatting with AT&T. Will try in a week or two.
BTW, I guess you being a long-time AT&T customer could have also been influential. I am a 2-day customer because I cancelled service again due to bad voice quality at my work location. However, paying the ETF, I fulfilled my contractual obligations so I'm only asking AT&T to fulfill theirs (3.1 of the Wireless Customer Agreement)...

Yeah my lumia is under contract but yes I have also been a customer for at least 7 years. The problem is there is no standardization with these unlock requests so it seems like it's just the luck of the draw of who you talk to... I'd be really surprised if you got a denial email, it seems like the difficult part is just getting the agent to submit the unlock request...

Yeah my lumia is under contract but yes I have also been a customer for at least 7 years. The problem is there is no standardization with these unlock requests so it seems like it's just the luck of the draw of who you talk to...

sure, I'll play...
It's the standard exclusive device wait for 6 months after release rule on AT&T for contract phones. Dunno about other carriers.
So whenever you bought it, plus 6 months, you can sim unlock it.

Apparently there is no way at all to unlock currently except thru ATT. I guess that is harder than I expected b/c it seems no one in this thread has been able to get an unlock code. It just depends on the CSR you get on the phone, I got them to unlock it on my first call to them so I guess I just got very lucky.
guys, I'm from Ukraine
please tell me. Can I write to at & t email?
What information do I need to write that would have been any result ..?
and in advance sorry for my spelling mistakes))
I called them back in Dec 2012 and got the unlock code from at&t; however the code only 11 digit and will not work.
Does anyone know or could confirm how digit the code should be?
Also, does it have to be a T-Mobile chip or any GSM chip will work?

Unfortunately, there seem to be very few people who managed to get an unlock code from AT&T, and most of them were long-term AT&T customers. If you are not a customer, neither phone nor e-mail support is likely to get you anything meaningful. We'll just have to wait and hope that codes will leak out to 3rd parties earlier than next May.

we just have a little different situation.
I read a lot of reviews of people saying who unblocked the technique in support just that they bought on ebay, and the seller told them that it is unlocked.
simply put, they pressed on pity!
and it worked! but now I do not know if it will work so ...

should be 20 digit code and any none att sim should work
entering the unlock code
for those who tried the 20 digit code for the lumia 920. try this. i had that problem with my lumia 900 from at&t i got the code and entered it and it would not accept the code. i had to use all ten tries and then it asked me to enter MY PUK code. i then entered the exact same unlock code as the PUK code and it unlocked the nokia lumia 900. my theory was that i never activated the phone with an at&t sim card i just bough it and popped in my foreign sim. i tried it with multiple unactivated nokia lumia 900s from at&t and it work. so if you bought a lumia 920 but didn't activate it with an at&t sim card this may be the reason the unlock code didn't work, you can either activate the phone with an at&t sim or try this process that i've used.
Hey Guys!
I just called AT&T customer service from Ireland to request an unlock code for my Lumia 920 but no luck, the're saying that they don't unlock phones for non AT&T customers.
Is there any walkaround? Would anyone mind to request this unlock code for me? The IMEI is 3536 8005 0140 831.
If I have to pay something I will, but I just refuse to give money to a bunch of scummers like cellunlock and company..
Thanks.
The workaround is simple - be persistent It took me 2 calls to get my unlock code, first time I was told the exact same thing. Also, first time I called their "international support" (1-800-222-0300), and didn't get the code. Then I called their regular support (1-800-331-0500), honestly told that I'm in Canada and don't have any ATT services, bought my phone for full price at Microsoft store, and was given the code right away.

I ordered my unlock code from cellunlock.net months ago. I emailed and emailed originally and finally got a canned response about how they could unlock the phone but it will rake a while. Two days ago I emailed them and said it's May, At&T is unlocking them, where is my code? I got a real response saying I would have the code in a few hours. 24 hours later, no code. I emailed again and was told I would have it in an hour. This time I got the code. It worked! I just finished setting up my wife's white Lumia 920.
I wouldn't call cellunlock.net scammers but I do think it was dishonest to take money MONTHS before you could actually unlock the phones.

I'm 99% sure all they did for the $40 (or however much you paid them at the time) was calling ATT (possibly couple of times) and getting the unlock code directly from them. Is that worth the money spent? I would understand if you would not otherwise be able to obtain the code for free (like in case of Rogers, for which they most likely have the bases), but with ATT they were not able to unlock it while the exclusive agreement was on, and once it expired, there's no point in using their services for ATT.
That may very well be true but since I live in Canada and have no connection to AT&T I am not sure I could just call them and get a code.
Man, read my first post in this thread This is EXACTLY what I did - called them, told them I live in Canada and don't have any business with ATT, that I bought the phone at Microsoft Store, and they gave me the code. Try the second phone from the post, if they deny, just hang up and try again.
I told them I got the phone as a gift and needed it unlocked..
The entire process from dialing to hanging up, took 3mins and 10 seconds
Try asking to open up case number. Tell them you bought phone out right. I had to fax my receipt to them for proof of purchase. I got email day later with code. As I am inpatient I called the international number an hour after I faxed receipt and opened case. They gave me code over phone. Keep trying don't take no as answer as they told me I needed to wait additional 6 months. Basically you need to say that another rep said your phone was eligible last week and to phone back after may 9th. Then they will begin process
you can also get the unlock by CHATTING with the ATT customer service. Only 2 things you must have are a usa phone number and chat english.

You have to put the unlock code in with the original SIM card in place first. After the code is accepted you can then change SIM cards.
I heard from several T-Mobile HTC owners that they tried to unlock it from some websites but after paying $25 they found out that those sites don't have the unlock code for the T-Mobile version of HTC.
I can't unlock it by calling T-Mobile as I'm on prepaid and I only use T-Mobile about 15 days a year when travelling through the states so I'm looking for a site that somebody has had success unlocking T-Mobile HTC One.
If you were able to get it sim unlocked, please, list the site and the cost.
I asked for the sim unlock yesterday at tmobile, they replied today.
HTC denied it because we have to wait 40 days of use first.. or pay your bill, I will call them back.
edit: its not HTC its Tmobile that denied it, they want users to use the phone for 40 days,
edit: im calling them back right now, cause I did pay it in full. they are going to put another request to HTC.

I've been T-Mobile's PrePaid customer since 2011. Bought HTC One on launch day, called them that first weekend, and my phone was unlocked within 24hrs, on a Weekend!!!
I did buy it at full price.
That said, my gf's iPhone 5 they won't unlock for 40days even though it's paid in full... weird.

I bought the phone off craigslist so I don't have a receipt that I paid full price, so online unlocking sites is my only way.
has anyone been successful unlocking it form one of those sites and how much was it?

I wouldn't know if the seller had it paid in full and even if I know I can't ask T-Mobile to unlock it as I don't have a receipt. I'm in Canada and the phones price from T-mobile in US on a plan is $579+tax but I'm not on a plan, I'm on pre-paid, if you are on pre-paid, you can't buy the phone online or by calling T-mobile, if you find a store that carries them then they will tell you the full price for pre-paid customers is $650+tax but some pre-paid customers said that when they run it through the price comes out at $610+tax for pre-paid plans. When I talked to a TMO store on a couple of occasions they all said both times that I would need to pay $650+tax, not $610. Either way it's quite more than $570 that I paid on craigslist for a new phone even if I have to pay $25 to get it unlocked online.
That's not my point where I bought it from. My question for this thread was: Has anyone been able to successfully sim unlock it from those online sites? If yes, what site was it and what was the price
okay peeps... check it out, I understand why some had there unlock codes given to them..
find someone that has a T-Mobile acct, prepaid or contract, it doesn't matter, I have received my unlock codes from T-Mobile with prepaid also..
I remembered they did that to me along time ago. the reason they said I can have it at the end of the month, it will be 40 days of service on May 28.
so if you have a friend that u know who has been with T-Mobile for over 40 or more days of service in good standing, and they also have to be using the phone for at least 5 days with there sim card on the phone, they will release the unlock code.
they can tell if they have been using the phone with the existing sim. u can unlock 1 phone every 90 days.

Hi there,
I tried unlocking my phone from htconlineunlock.com . It did generate a code for me. But when I put that into my phone it says incorrect pin.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Do not try to unlock using cellunlocker.net, at least until confirmed working. I checked my IMEI and chose US T-Mobile for my operator and they confirmed it as unlock code available. I paid $25 but didn't receive a code. 12 hours later I got a refund with a message that the phone is too new asking to check again in a couple of weeks once they update their database.

Try it several times, I heard that for some it may take as many as 6 attempts and then it finally takes the code. If not, ask them for refund. I didn't get a code from cellunlocker.net and even didn't have a chance to ask for refund, they just did it once they found out they couldn't get the code for me.

I guess then you can request a refund from them.
Hopefully we'll have someone successfully unlock it from one of those sites and will have a report here as to what site it was. I'm eagerly waiting to get it unlocked. I already cut my sim card to micro size and am currently using it in my old HTC Amaze with the leftover plastic that I use as an adapter for the smaller sim.

Im just doubtful about one thing. I bought the phone from the US. But im Home (india) for the summer and was trying to use the indian sim to unlock it. Can that be the problem? Like do I need an at&t or some other US carrier sim to unlock it?
I am in the same boat. Bought an HTC one from a US owner eyeing on the fact that it has 1700Mhz support so I can run it on my Wind Mobile network. I need a code now it's impossible for me to use the T-mobile service for 60 days when I'm physically not there.

That's exactly my story. I do have a prepaid account on T-Mobile (their $3/per day plan) but I only use it about ten days a year and I think they ask to use it actively like every day for 60 days for pre paid accounts in order to unlock, but even if I do, I still won't be able to do that as I don't have a receipt.
I guess we just have to be patient and wait till one of those unlocking sites gets T-Mobile codes on their database
Im in the same boat too.
Bought this phone in the US and was told by the rep that customer service would unlock it. Well ive tried 3 different times and they keep refusing. Also ive tried about 10 different online unlock services, all have failed. I really dont wanna have to sell this phone back into the US because it cost me over $800 after import duty and i'd get nowhere near that. And of all the friends that i have in the US, none of them have service with t-mo or know anyone who does. Is t-mo really that ****ty?
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, please share.
I tried www.myhtcunlock.com last night. Paid $35. In the morning I received a refund from them with a message that the phone is too new asking to try again in a couple of weeks.
If anyone is successful in unlocking it from a site, let us know what site it was.
I've used htcsimunlock.com a few times. It usually comes out to $15-20, but they have not disappointed me yet.
