I want to unlock my ATRIX so I can sell it to anyone in the gsm network.
How do I get the unlock code without paying some website?
Is there an app for this or pc program you can recommend?

I've heard u can call the provider but I paid $2 on eBay and got one.
I don't want to pay because I go through so many phones I would have to pay every 3-4 months for the unlock code.
I don't think the carrier would give me so many unlock codes a year.

If you bought your phone from a carrier, call the carrier, tell them you are going out of the country on vacation/business, and need the unlock code. They should give it to you with no problems.
If you bought from another source, do what the other poster said.
That's my problem...... I bought it off ebay with no contract.
I go through 4 phone s a year. Hoped someone could hook me up with a program that did it or I can buy and use over and over for each phone.

He was talking about SIM unlocking, not bootloader unlocking.
there's no free SIM unlocking program AFAIK, if the code is not from your carrier.
I don't need it be free. I just need a program to buy and use it for any gsm phone I get to unlock it.

I believe the SIM unlock code is per phone (the code for each phone is different). I saw someone posted some reputable web sites before, search for it.
He's each code is based on the manufacture and the IEMI number.
Just thought I could get an application for under $150 that has all the manufacturers and IEMIs on a database.
Just didn't want to pay and find a reputable website for each phone manufacturer.

Thanks. I will try my carrier - since its not bought from them I might not be granted this but I will stress I have been public valued customer for 7yrs with 3line. Might get me the code.
If not I will use your link. Thanks.
My main goal is to unlock this and throw it on eBay as an unlocked phone with no contract and mention root. This should allow the phone to sell for a higher price.
Thanks for all your help.

Called the carrier and BAM! in under 30 seconds they emailed me the unlock code.
Thanks everyone.

Wow $35! I got my unlock code from cellunlocker.net for only $8, took 3hrs for them to send the code.
Edit: just checked... They charge $33 for bell note. don't know why Rogers is so much cheaper to unlock.

Actually since Rogers owns Fido, you can interchange the sim's from Rogers to Fido and vise versa with a locked device.
They made that change a few years ago.

same here, used cellunlocker.net for unlocking Rogers locked Galaxy Note i717R... $8, code within 6 hours (got it in the morning)... didn't have Bell sim card so I could not open network unlock input even with #7465625*638*#... finally went to a local mall and asked a guy at mobile stand to borrow Bell sim card... no charge... entered code... "Network Unlock Successful"...
however I am with FIDO and when I type *#7465625# to check if phone is in fact unlocked I get to black personalization screen and it force-closes in couple of seconds... no unlock status information provided... just crash... Could that be connected to the fact that Galaxy Note is network unlocked but it not rooted?

Hey guys,
I just bought an AT&T Galaxy Note through Craigslist. I've bought other network locked phones before and unlocked it later using these extensive XDA forums. But this Note is locked to AT&T and cannot be unlocked without contacting AT&T for the unlock code. AT&T cannot give me the unlock code since I'm not an AT&T user. Is there anyway I can unlock this phone?
I hear Google has answers...
I swear the "help me unlock threads" keep popping up like cockroaches.

Have you called ATT anyways?? Try it. Or get a code from a third party unlocker on ebay.

This is a GSM phone, not CDMA. They do not have to activate the phone.

You may not be subtle but you are correct. OP should have searched first. Most phones have to be unlocked this way. Thread should be locked before a spammer tries to leave his spamunlocker.com link here.
Ok. I seem to have enraged a few people.
Before I posted this question I searched for a similar question in the forum. The best result was how to unlock using the ATT code. I have already called AT&T and they're not willing to give me the unlock code. I've tried to get codes online. I've tried one and it didn't work. Now I am stuck with a phone that's just a PDA and not worth the money I put into it.
I was actually looking for answers from people who have gone through a similar experience. I thought this would be a commonly occurring issue. But I've tried what everyone of you have written here and it hasn't worked yet. So what should I do?

I bought the unlocked code from ebay around $4 and worked like charm and use the phone now on T-mobile network
If ATT won't give you the code, and they sometimes do even if you are not on ATT, then you have to buy your unlock code. Best bet is to purchase 1 from a vendor on ebay. You also need to be on the stock ATT ROM to do the unlocking. You cannot unlock the phone with a custom ROM on it.
I don't like giving reference to these 3rd party vendors but here is an informative video. If you go to youtube and read the directions with the video you should be fine.

I just called att to "unlock" my phone I preordered my note 2 so I'm waiting for the launch,But called att and asked if they would unlock this note 1..They unlocked it and gave me a code..So its officially unlocked now..
Thanks everyone for your helpful comments. I was able to get the phone unlocked through a friend's friend who works for AT&T. He just called customer service and got the unlock code. I think I just spoke to the wrong guy when I called. Anyway, the phone's unlocked and I'm very thankful to all you guys.

Is unlocking the SIM like this irreversible? Just picked up an Optimus G and getting ready to do the SIM unlock. However, still trying to decide if I want to keep this phone and would rather not invalidate the warranty or anything until I'm sure.

Unlocking your SIM doesn't void your warranty. Unlocking your bootloader does.

You might try calling them and telling them you are planning a trip outside the country and need to SIM unlock so you can use a prepaid SIM. That has worked for others in the past.
Good luck!
I SIM unlock phones and they aren't free. I buy and resell the codes. Shoot me your IMEI number, the country and carrier it is locked to in a PM. I'll see if it can be unlocked. If it can be, it will be a bit pricey since they just released a new service for HTC phones.

Talk to hasoon, he should be able to help
I think the main reason you can't unlock your phone is that ATT won't let you unlock it when your using the phone while your on a plan. When you upgrade to a new phone or change phones then you can unlock your old one. Source: experience

Hasoon is a great guy and I'v talked to him.
Unfortunately, he cant help.
I talked to AT&T international (1-800-335-4685). I'v heard they are pretty relaxed about unlocking phones.
Also, I bought mine at the no-commitment price.
The rep on the phone agreed to unlock my X+ and asked for my IMEI#. But after he put it into the system, he said AT&T can't unlock it till May 16th 2013.
I'v heard AT&T tends to do this when it has an exclusive phone.
But this might just be me. You guys should try this and see if it works.
