Is anyone working on soft unlock streak? It has been released for quit a while. But it can't be unlocked yet (soft). Does that mean DELL dose better than Apple on lock their phone?
The UK official unlock version can be used with any carriers. How about the US version? Can we use it with non-AT&T sim card?

the US version is locked to AT&T, there is no unlock (of any sort) with the exception of using a rebelSim... they aren't better than apple, there just aren't as many users trying to unlock it. (I would bet money that apple has about 1000x more iPhone users... they are currently around 59 Million sold)
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.

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!
Hey guys,
Just spoke to a bell employee and they said they will NOT be providing unlock codes even if I buy the Atrix out of contract.
Any idea how i can get Bell unlock codes? Is Cellunlock.net gonna start selling these?
Any help is appreciated. Im really eager to get this but is useless to me without unlocking.
Thanks!
Hi, I also want to unlock Bell's Atrix but my question is will the unlock codes that work for US AT&T atrix work with Canada's Bell phone? Does phone's carrier matter?
As far as I know, its carrier specific. Can someone who is more knowledgeable confirm this? If its not carrier dependent, ill just order one from cellunclock.
Thanks!
This dude told me he can do it for 20 USD through paypal, in two business days.

Thanks! Will email and report back with an update.
I just got my Motorola Atrix off ebay today, i have used Dell Streak for past 6 months.
However, for some reason i need an unlock pin to use it??? What does this mean? I pay 2gb AT&T data plan and such. I thought i would just be able to switch SIM cards and it would work? I've always done this for my other phones (Pre plus, streak, captivate)
Please Help. I don't think i should have to pay/wait for a dumb unlock code...
Is it att branded?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
yes
I mean it has an AT&T cover on the back... So i would assume that the atrix is AT&T branded
Did you buy it somewhere unofficially or straight from a reseller?
Where I bought
I bought it off of ebay. Seller, Jectronics.
