hello
I am from syria i got htc sensation i want to use market to download program but it's not working here , i tried to use market enabler but still same i don't know what to do
Hi, do you have accept the ToS of the Market ?
Syria is sanctioned country for any company in the United States. Thus Google is not allowed to do business with anybody in Syria. See: http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Pages/Programs.aspx
From what I've read you can run Android Market when you use a SIM from another country in your phone (the phone of course needs to be SIM unlocked to do that).
Yea no getting around the government shut down unless ya have an unlocked phone. But even then the service in your country may be locked instead of individual phones and sim cards. So even if you had say a US sim card would it even work, and if it did work once you got on the market would it allow you access outside your countries intranet to use google? Id ask around before spending any earned money lol... Here in America out internet isnt to limited. Going online and typing www.google.com and nothing showing up or getting that this website doesnt exist error would suck!
Just my noob 2 cents!

There is no reason for it to be locked other than its a stolen phone

A, total bs, you really did not think of the fact that a phone from the states would not work in canada? Bull**** you just want someone to get the unlock code for you because you bought the phone not knowing it would not work and are screwed now.
Yes i know stupid mistaek
I bought the american version because the canadian version could not work on my carrier Mobilicity. Most mobilicity phones come unlocked and i thought that because they used the same frequencies that T mobile would too. Yes i know stupid mistake should have done it in america. And it's not stolen

Seriously you two should NOT give answers if you do not know wtf you are talking about. ALL t-mobile Vibrants are sim locked ie you cannot use it in any other country (ie with other carriers, even tmobile outside the US) but the united states and even here you cannot use it with any other carrier except t-mobile. I am about to call tmobile and have mine unlocked too so I can use it in Canada and Europe.
I usually buy t-mobile sim cards in Europe but I need my phone unlocked to be able to do that. But I will admit, since the Vibrant is pretty much the same as all the other Galaxy S phones, I also thought it could be used everywhere Tmobile was available (sans the simlock).
To the OP, go to Ebay if tmobile cannot help you, there are many companies that will unlock your phone for you for a fee. Or you can use the unlock generator from this site (but there have been mixed results with that). But even with the phone unlocked, does not mean it will get all the ranges oversees as it does here. Tmobile uses different Hz oversees than they do in the states so you may not get 3G (not sure, just using my experiences from other phones), so you may wanna check on that before going through all the effort of unlocking etc etc. You may be better off with a i9000 in Canada if thats your primary residence.

Thanks for the help o will look into both those methods you stated
go to Market, and look for SGS Unlock, if the free version can not generate the unlock code, go for the Pro version.. or you could do it yourself for free by following instructions here:

Maybe he didn't know? Maybe he forgot? Don't call people stupid for THINGS everyone does wrong everyday.
if anyone knows of a site that will sell unlock codes online please comment. I live outside the US and want to buy this phone online but will need an unlock code.
I have already contacted some sites but they don't have an idea yet if/when they will get them
EDIT: supposedly swiftunlock.net and gsmliberty.net work, but no proof yet rather than words from users.
EDIT: pictures of atrix running under Bell operator unlocked
EDIT: most users report that cellunlock.net work, 40$ but with a 50% discount using the android50 code.
To find your IMEI, type *#06#
search“Atrix unlock" on google
Im also interested in unlock codes but please serious sites.
Hi Guys, I believe the Atrix will come unlocked. It is a world phone which I think means you will be able to insert a SIM card from over seas and it will work. Also I have heard that if you buy the phone and call ATT and tell them you are going over seas to use it they will give you the unlock code. But then again these are things that I have heard and wont be able to verify until I get my Atrix in the mail.
no phone from a carrier sells unlocked. i already tried att twitter account to get an unlock code but got a friendly no. maybe if i buy it a month later i could call att from venezuela with gmail to try and score an unlock code.
i have seen lots of sites:
mobileunlocked.co.uk supposedly sells it at 15$
unlockitnow.com supposedly has it too.
gsmliberty.net at 10$.
globalunlock.com seems serious and admitted they don't have it.
For the over seas thing to work with att you needed to have been in contract with them on that phone for 6 months or something

mobileunlocked.co.uk told me that all motorola codes are either 8 or 16 numbers and just rely on the IMEI and not the specific model.
find it on ebay
I'd also love to see this baby unlocked. I traveling to the US in 1 month and expect to buy one.......I'm crossing my fingers until then hoping for someone that guarantees to have an unlocked atrix

748$ on ebay, no thanks. And sadly, with my venezuelan credit card i need to buy the phone on a site that allows me to ship to a different address than on my credit card's billing address.
That leaves only amazon i think, but i may be wrong. If people know of other sites i would like to hear about them
unlockitnow.com just answered my email saying that they are selling the unlock codes right now. don't know if they are trustworthy

This is completely incorrect. An AT&T world phone merely allows you to use the phone with an AT&T SIM outside the country at exorbitant rates.
Please don't post your guesses or misinformation, it only confuses people who are in need of help & then gets parroted elsewhere to other sites.
Ok, starting to freak out a bit here as a friend will buy the phone and bring it back to Germany for me this week; is there a risk that there might not be a way to remove the sim lock from the phone? I mean, all phones are eventually unlocked, aren't they? Even a guy at one AT&T shop I called on Saturday said that it shouldn't be a problem, just to go one of all the companies that are providing unlock keys on the web.
Don't want to be stuck with an unusable 400-500 $ brick..
according to the info i am handling motorola's phones are one of the easiest to unlock. if you are that desperate try the links i have posted and write to them.
i have posted a link on the pricing thread that lists the phone at 550$ unlocked over at mobilecityonline.com

Well...that's not quite right. Because AT&T uses GSM tech, if you can unlock the phone, you absolutely can take out the AT&T SIM and swap it for a local one. I do it all the time when I travel: I buy a (local to where I happen to be) rechargeable SIM and I pay local rates rather than getting gouged by AT&T.
You must unlock the phone to do that, though.
i use theunlockr.com.

that site sucks. they don't have a link on the home page to buy unlocked codes, i had to go to "unlocking 101" under "wireless 101" and from there visit the "unlock for free" which tells you to call your provider after 3 months and at the end says "we sell them too", i tried the link: http://theunlockr.com/store/unlock-my-phone/ and it doesn't even load.
Anyway to get the unlock code for Samsung Galaxy S2 i will be travelling abroad in 10-15 days ?
Note : I don't want to root my phone
I heard that if you have paid off your phone, and you can show the receipt, then you can call customer service and request it. They will probably wants to see that receipt.
I know you don't want to root, but it might be easier to just root it instead going through this trouble...
isint there an app on the market that does this?
i used the same app for my captivate.
compatibility list shows sgs2

I think it requires rooting to unlock using that app.
If you're willing to devote 15 - 30 minutes to it, call up AT&T and explain that you're going out of the country on business (lie, unless you actually are) and that your company is going to give you a local SIM to use when you arrive so they pick up the expenses for phone service. Give them the ESN. They told me this morning (when I got the unlock code for mine) that they would give it to you as long as you've been a customer in good standings for 6 months. I actually had the same guy agree to give me the unlock code for my Captivate on the same call (told him I wasn't sure which I'd use overseas).
You will need another SIM card to insert so that you will be prompted for the code. I used an old Nextel SIM card -- anything non-AT&T should work.

I don't think you could purchase it from India, maybe I'm wrong too. Same like even if you use Market Unlocker for getting access to Music, Movies, Magazines etc. its still unusable if you are outside US. About using proxy, I'm not sure, maybe have to use IP changer too.
I just need some way to order the device from India
Any User from the US can tell me about the payment steps ?Just requires me to have a credit card and then input and address for it to be shipped right ?
No confirmation of residency and stuff ?

Hello Xda,
I just got my Nokia Lumia 800 and i am eveyr happy with it. There's only one big thing
i dont like. The problem is the creditcard option for the marketplace, because people
in the Netherlands have a diffrent card then the credit card so i am not able to use it.
I know there's another option to add the costs at your phone bill but thats the 2nd
problem. I have a prepaid card in it.
So my question is, is there a app/unlock like Cydia for the windows phone?
If so how to unlock my mobile? cant find it anywhere on here or on youtube.
Cya,
Zynex
As fas as I know, that are the only two options to buy apps from the Marketplace, not sure if you can use a prepaid creditcard but that's the only thing I can think about.
For unlocking your Lumia just start reading here:

I'm Brazilian and MS refused my int'l credit card even when my account was still Brazilian (I moved it to USA when they made it available). Now that I moved my account I'm using PayPal to subscribe to Xbox Music Pass but it won't work for WP7 apps. LAME! --'
