Hi there!,
I have a Dell Venue (not Pro) locked to AT&T, is there any way to unlock it to any GSM carrier?, Ive tried to buy an unlock code on ebay but no one seem to find the code on the database..
Any help would be appreciated!,
Thanks
Almost same thing as threadstarter. Could I get rid of SIM lock through flashing another region's ROM?
Here's what I know: I bought the unlocked version and it is compatible with both at&t and t-mobile, all I have to do is sawp sim cards. Try that and see if it works. There's not that much difference between the two, they are both gsm carriers. let me know if this helps.
Unlocked Venue
I wasn't aware that Dell was selling any locked versions of its Venue. I thought there were only 2 versions (AT&T vs T-mobile) but they were both unlocked and can be used for voice on any GSM network. The difference would only be noticed on a data connection (3G) as AT&T is using (850/1900/2100) and T-mobile is running on AWS (900/1700/2100). T-mobile's version would run on EDGE with AT&T SIM and vise versa. Is that the general consensus?
Source (scroll down to bottom)
All Dell Venues are unlocked, you have 3 options: 1. buy without contracts, 2. buy with at&t contract, 3. buy with T-Mobile contract
for me 2 and 3 not an option, I went with the full price $350 with no contracts attached.

I need unlock Dell Venue.
Any news?
I am ready to buy unlock code.
Locked to ATT.
Dr_Wolodya,
Try this. Send an email to [email protected] and in the body of the email write something like:
"Hello,
I am scheduled to travel overseas and would need to use my phone internationally using a different SIM card. I initially contacted ATT but they told me to contact you and provide my IMEI number. Could you please assist me with the unlock code for my Dell Venue phone? The phone IMEI is: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
Thank you in advance."
See if that helps. Good luck!

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.
Hello everyone.
I bought recenlty a used Atrix, in Russia. It was locked, so I tried to find a SIM-unlock. I was thinking that it's a AT&T Atrix, but after asking Motorola Global support, they said me that it was manufactured for Orange France.
I bought the unlock code from two different sources at eBay, they both gave me same codes, but they are not working!
For the moment, I'm trying to contact Orange France for the support, but I'm not sure that they could give that code..
Or maybe it's because my Atrix is running on CM9 that the code isn't accepted?

No its not because of cm9. And sometimes orange doesn't unlock off contract phones. The code is the same as its based on your imei number. If the code doesn't work you should contact the support from where you bought the code.
Sent from my MB860 running Jokersax's CM9
I bought the phone as used, from a particular seller. He bought the code for me, but it didn't worked.
Is there any chance to get the code from Orange support?
Could the code work if I downgrade to 2.3 firmware?

You could try asking orange support. If not try some site where you have to buy the code…i used unlocking.com to unlock moto cliq. They gave me the code the same day and it didn't work the first time. I contacted support and they helped me unlock it. So make sure the site you buy it from has good support.
Carrier unlock is different and won't change no matter what rom your on.

Thanks for the link. Gonna try it
Actually, I spended 5$ more and bought another code. I got the same code, tried to enter it under 5 various SIM-cards - 1 of Beeline, without money on it, 1 of Beeline with unlimited credit, 2 various MTS and even a AT&T sim-card, I had the same problem
Could anyone tell me what radio I should use under CM9?
Or maybe giving a link to official Orange France firmware?
Tried already three radios, with noany it unlocks. Any suggestions on which can it be sucessful?
you can try the bell Canada Radio.
My phone will not SIM unlock using any radio file but when I flashed the Bell Canada Radios it just works. Doesn't even prompt for Sim Unlock.
I just wish I could get my AT&T radio's to flash since I am here in the USA.

Did you try to flash stock unbranded firmware? Idk if this overwrites simlock but you can try it.
simlock is not flashing dependant to any firmware. it is hard-written to eeprom or PM or something similar.
anyway if this site http://sim-unlock.net/site/Nokia/Lumia 800/ shows temporarily unavailable then you are temporarily out of luck!!
I was in a position simialr to you.
I can only guess that T-Mobile were sending out erroneous unlock codes, as the first one I received from my seller didn't work. After a few months and some shouting at him, he called T Mobile back and got an 'update' code which worked.
Is the owner's email address accesible to you? Try sending him a reasonable email advising him that he just needs to give T Mobile a quick ring and they can sort it all out. If not, get more details from whatever service you used to buy it from him (ebay, etc) and send him a stronger email.
If he sold you an unlocked lumia and you agreed to take the locked one WITH an unlock code (a fully unlocked phone delivered in two stages) then he does have an obligation to either provide it or give a refund (as he has missold a good).
Edit:
I do have a T Mobile account and would be willing to give it a try getting you an unlock code. PM me.

According to the current threads covering this subject there are no codes released for the 920 yet. In fact there is about a 4 month back log and most of the sites that offer codes are scams.

Need Help From AT&T Customer.
To the OP
you need to make sure from AT&T or even Tmobile will check if the IMEI is in the Blocked list they have now in effect. If it is in the "LOST/STOLEN" list or Fraud from insurance claims or something like that that IMEI is blocked in the united states.
If so, no way no how will AT&T give you the unlock code.
If you device happens to be on that list, you may just have to wait until unlockers get a way of doing it.
Or buy a Verizon, 822 they already come Sim Unlocked.
Good LUck
or htc 8x verizon,
or a Rogers lumia

Have you not read any of the other post regarding unlock codes for this phone? Even if you are an ATT customer the back log for unlock codes is right now nearly a year. All the websites that claim they have them are nothing but scams that will steal your money.
To put it bluntly, there are currently no unlock codes. No one other than those paid by or working for those scam sites have reported getting an unlock code that works. You have to own the phone through a contract with ATT and wait the full term of the contract which is 2 years before ATT will even consider giving you a code and then they still have to get it from Nokia whom may or may not agree to release it.
Hi guys, I know its early days, but I'm wondering if anyone knows a reliable website where I can get a unlocking code for the s6 edge?. I'm getting mine delivered tomorrow, and it will be locked to 02 UK.

Try http://www.getunlocked.com/ I used them for my AT&T S6, but I am pretty sure they support other carriers as well. I contacted the before hand and they said the CANNOT unlock the T-Mobile (USA) S6, but that everything else should be fine. It appears that T-Mobile has their own customer ROM/app for the S6so the regular unlocking sites don't work.
You can always try asking them http://www.getunlocked.com/contact-us/

Hi,
Here is what Samsung Netherland Support says:
Send the Email (Netherland Samsung Support Page)
Subject: TAV Ibrahim
Date of Purchase
Serial Number
Model Number
IMEI Number
Reason to Unlock (Why are you Requesting to use another SIM Card)
Invoice (Attached)
Complete Address
In my case, they will check the data, send to Samsung Korea on Friday and Receive the Unlock PIN on next Tuesday.
I'm waiting for my code right now. Hope works.
I suggest who has the same problem contact your sale support page (country where you purchased).
I thought it was now a law here in the US that all cell phones are supposed to be unlocked? Am I misunderstanding something?
me too, eire three
I believe that in the US, it is only required for carriers once the phone is out of contract. At that time, you can then request unlock code. If you want it before then you have to go through a 3rd party.
