2 bit encription so will be a while yet few months maybe
...well thats a bummer. I suppose I'll have to walk around with a glorified Zune. Do you think the carrier can unlock it?
HI
Yes they can unlock it for you BUT NOKIA AND WINDOWS made a deal NOT to lock the handsets !!!! mine is tmobile and is unlocked and i have seen a few others all unlocked so are you sure its locked ??
If so yes your network can unlock it and just say all handsets were ment to be unlocked why have u locked mine up ?? il find infor about this for you
EDIT - Spoke to my phone guy to check and Nokia and windows did make that deal but some networks opted out so yes some will be locked but he also said your networks defo will do it ... first place who will get it is .... google fonefunshop
I bought it on holiday in Paris its locked to Orange France. I live in the United States. I want to use it on T-Mobile. I'll try to deal with the French customer service at Orange this weekend (yuk)
If i cant get them to unlock it i'll try fonefunshop.
Quick question, will dev unlocking it also sim unlock it?
Cheers

Waiting on a Lumia 800 cyan from Vodafone UK on contract.
Does anyone know if theirs are locked?
Voda don't tend to lock contract handsets, so you might be OK.

I've got my Lumia 800 today from Orange UK and it is locked ;/ Any ideas where I can unlock it? I ask Orange CS but they said I need to w8 three month and after that pay 20 quid for unlock.... bastards
Brilliant customer service on Vodafone UK's twitter!
They said they should be unlocked and if not there is a request page, I'll have a happy Xmas now!

Just been talking to a guy at FoneFunShop about unlocking the lumia 800 on Orange UK. Conversation is below
Barry says:
Are you able to unlock the new Nokia Lumia 800?
Barry says:
on Orange UK?
FoneFunShop - Mick says:
yes
FoneFunShop - Mick says:
will add to our web site tomorrow
Barry says:
Can I order now for it?
FoneFunShop - Mick says:
not yet
Barry says:
OK thanks
Light on the horizon perhaps?
There must be a way to do it; I am using an unlocked Lumia 800 I bought from Yapper Wireless on Amazon.com
Using it on T-Mobile USA
If he says tomorrow then they must have cracked it
I'm still dreading calling Orange France to get mine unlocked. Anyone know if Orange Uk can unlock devices from France
How come you're dreading it? I doubt the UK could help you.
Just say you're going to visit family in the Isle of Man for a few weeks and you'd like to be able to use your phone while you're there are you on contract or payg?

Hi everyone,
I travel a lot outside of the US and will need to unlock this phone so it can be used in other networks with SIM cards other than ATT's .... so, has anyone used such an unlock code or knows of a trusty source where to get one from even if you have to pay ?
Thanks.

I called and as expected there is an exclusivity period for the phone and AT&T won't give out the unlock code yet until that period is over. However, since I paid full price without a contract, they ask me to fax in my receipt for proof of purchase and we will see from there.
rotted and search the code through "Galaxy S2 Sim unlock" app. Will Let ya all know if it works.

Proof of purchase,
Nice might go this route and by the phone retail. Plan on doing that anyway.
Good to know they honor that.
Yeah. I sold my Captivate on eBay for $200 to offset the cost of the new phone. And Walmart's $520 off contract price is the best deal around. That leaves me $320 + tax for the new phone with NO contract extension.
Can be unlocked by AT&T, priceless

My process was a little more painful than yours. Yesterday I was on the phone with Customer Service for an hour, at the end of which they told me I needed to go into a corporate AT&T store with my proof of purchase (faxing was not an option), and they then would complete the request for the unlock code (I, too, travel frequently outside the US). So today I go into the store but unfortunately meet with the same resistance (i.e. "wait 6 months", "proprietary phone", "not our policy", etc.). Essentially it was almost an hour of:
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: let me speak to your supervisor, please
[ hold ...... ]
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: well let me speak with someone who /can/ do it
[ hold ...... ]
AT&T (same person): Here's your unlock code, sir
Frustrating to say the least.
So, now I have the unlock code, but no instructions on how to enter the code into the phone. Would you, foxbat121, be so kind as to post the procedure so that I can get this thing unlocked? [ Thank you. ]

There are some wackey ways to enter unlock code. But I always keep a foreign SIM card around, even if it no longer works, just for this purpose (both enter unlock code and test if it works). So what I did was put in the foreign SIM card and power up the phone. It will ask you to put in the unlock code right away. See if you can find someone with T-Mobile phones to unlock and test your unlock code.
Anyone knows of a good way to SIM unlock the Nokia 710 for free via an exploit or program?
It's literally too new, nowhere will be able to unlock it yet. Cellunlocker.net are due to have codes for the 710 within a couple weeks, but I reckon it will take even longer than this.

I think they (cellunlocker) can unlock it on some networks right now anyways, it's only the more stubborn ones (O2 UK) that are a bit more tricky and take longer. If you're in the states then check with them now as they might be able to do it.
I tried cellunlocker and they couldn't do my 710 on Vodafone, so gave me a refund.
Currently waiting on Vodafone to get an unlock code for me (it was the same price with them anyway). Apparently Vodafone just put the request in with Nokia themselves so should be more successful.
Vodafone issue N95 unlocking tutorial for Lumia 710 - FAIL!
OK! I unbelievably got my Lumia 710 unlock code from Vodafone with 8 hours (yes! I said 8 hours). GREAT!!
...until you try to put the code in the phone. The code issued uses an old Symbian style code starting with #pw+, however it is impossible to enter the pw+ symbols using the WP7 dialpad. And just make sure it is more difficult than ever they link to an N95 unlocking tutorial.
Tried:
entering the code with the dial pad - no joy
creating a contact with the unlock code as part of their details - no joy
only entering the numerical parts of the code - no joy
No luck with these so I sent Vodafone email request to sort it out so I will keep you posted as to what's happening. That said, I'm not convinced they'll come back with anything as this seems to have been going on since December looking at some of the Nokia forums.
I tried putting in another network's SIM to trigger the 8 digit pin unlock prompt but strangely nothing happened. So either the Lumia 710 was shipped unlocked (again something I'd heard on the forums and a wasted £20) or the BT SIM card I used is accepted by the Vodafone networks as BT is an MVNO piggy-backing Vodafone.
I suspect the unlock codes issued are incorrect so trying to uses another more featured dialpad from the WP7 marketplace to enter the code would probably be pointless.
I suppose it's a question of sittingg this one out until WP7 - Vodafone - Nokia sort this out and start issuing 8 digit unlock codes.

AFAIK, you can check the unlock-state on the 800 via ##782#. You can try this on your phone as well.

You have to hit call after entering it, then this (or similar) should appear:

According to my experience,Paid unlocking service is the best and secure way to unlock your Nokia lumia 710 .If you want unlock code visit Simpleunlocking.com They will ask your mobile model no,country,network provider.After that they will send your unlock code via e-mail and you can get free unlock instructions from
Mobileunlockguide.com Then you can unlock your mobile within a day.

Hi Folks,
Let's concentrate all conversation about 'how to get my Lumia 920 unlocked' to help everyone!
Rogers Lumia 920:
Get locked Lumia in any store, and pay $50 in the store to unlock it.
It took me 2 hours, and the store employee had to talk with 3 different people on the Roger's customer service.
I've paid full price and got a prepaid sim card. To unlock, I had to put $50 in the simcard to able the customer service get it to use on the "unlock fee".
I've try unlock.canadagsm.ca and http://cellunlocker.net/. No success. Only in Rogers store.
[UPDATE] CanadaGSM sent me an email saying that they started to unlock Lumia 920 from Rogers
Lumia 920 bought from Toronto's Microsoft store
Is locked but http://cellunlocker.net/ has the codes to unlock (We read some users using that, but some fail).
Lumia 920 AT&T
So far, no way to unlock them.
[UPDATE] A webpage is saying they can do it: http://cilianunlock.com/codigos-nokia-lumia/nokia-lumia-atat-usa.html
Unlocked Black Lumia 920 from Expansys

Thanks

Aren't the Expansys and GSMNations ones the International versions of the phones - i.e. don't have the bands to support LTE in NA?
I think this should get Stickied as this is something a LOT of people are interested in and this is also a good format for One Guide to Unlock them ALL!!.
Just tried to unlock a rogers model bought from the Microsoft store at Yorkdale with cellunlocker.
They couldn't unlock it.
My sister has a Rogers account so I'm going to talk to her tomorrow and see if she can call in and do anything.
Did you try http://unlock.canadagsm.ca ?
welectronics[.]com[/]gsm[/]nokia[.]shtml (i can't post links yet) has unlocked 920s, currently the white one is in stock
i haven't purchased from them before but hear that they're reputable from places like howardforums and they're advertised on gsmarena
for $650

I've unlocked mine in Royal Plaza Rogers Store (close the union station, Toronto Downtown).
The store employees there know how to do it now.
It takes some time, but they did.
Good Luck!
Have any of you guys ask GSM Nation about the phone? It said 3G/4G: 1700/2100, but according to Nokia global, the international does not contain the AWS band. As you can see from Welectronics and Expansys, they don't list that AWS band. I think there is a mistake here. Anyway, make sure you contact them first before purchasing the phone as we have different model with different active frequencies.

After following these posts for a couple days I'm fairly sure that cellunlocker was able to unlock mine because it was from the 44/2012 batch that would naturally be in their system earlier. Pretty lucky of me!

I don't have Rogers account, I've bought the device paying the full price, bought there a prepaid simcard (same Rogers store), added $50 (plus taxes) in the prepaid account and the employee of the store called the customer service and got the unlock code. It took 2 hours to do that, because some employees from the customer service said that I couldn't unlock. After 2 calls, the guy (3rd) told us the instructions.
I've done this on the Rogers Store at the union Station (PATH) in downtown Toronto.
The employees there said that never done this before. I've insisted because someone here told me that is possible. And now I can confirm.
I got in touch with the over on This Link, and told it can be done in 24 hours or 7 days, but they guarantee it works.

The majority of the companies guarantee. They also guarantee you'll get your money back when it doesn't work. I've tried three different companies for unlock, two of which are unsuccessful and still waiting on the third. Most likely if you caught the newer batch it will be at least a week before we can get our hands on codes.
As of Nov 19, I can confirm that the following unlock sites are a no go for the 45/2012 batch:
cellunlocker.net
mobile-phone-unlock.com
mobileincanada.com

Hey guys in the UK
So I brought the Lumia 920 from Phones4U, and I'm testing out which one will give me an unlock code...
But here's the thing: People have stated the EE lock is closest to T-Mobile UK, as the Lumia 920 supports the Virgin Mobile SIM too!
Here's the questions:
1. Has anyone here been lucky enough to get it unlocked from EE?
2. What sites have been used?
I have tried:
cellunlocker - Tried on Orange, may try again for T-Mobile
cellphoneunlocker - Tried on Orange, now trying on T-Mobile
fonezone - Tried on Orange and no luck, apparently no code for T-Mobile on that site
Good luck in getting EE to unlock.... Been trying for over a week.
They keep saying to me, as i didn't buy the phone from them, you have to get the code from p4u.. P4u say get it from EE... Ive even contacted Nokia they say EE should unlock it.
There is one site i found on here but its £40

I was looking forward to that feature.

Your order reference number is: **********
Unlock Code Unavailable
We have refunded your order in full. Please allow 3-4 working days to see cleared funds in your account.
Why?
Unfortunately the unlock code for your IMEI number:*********************************** is not available.
This could be because the phone manufacturer has not yet added it to their database, it is an unsupported model, or you entered the IMEI incorrectly upon ordering.

I ordered mine yesterday, now checking the order page several times a day. I hope they can get it unlocked, otherwise I will have to travel with two phones...
UnlockFrog
Just spoken to UnlockFrog who said :
"First batch of handsets are still processing with our supplier for this new service.
We will have the results towards the end of next week. The service is brand new specifically for EE handsets"
They've added me to their mailing list to let me know if they can unlock it. I'm using a white unlocked 920 ATM but I really want a yellow one, all of which are locked to EE in the UK.
Wait for a month and demand EE give you the unlock code free. They are obliged to if you are on a contract phone. I am waiting for a month and will be claiming my unlock code from EE. already tried and they said a month. O2 give you the code immediately or email yo you within a week. There is really no need to use those sites unless you buy pay as you go. If you are buying buying pay as you go why would you buy a network locked phone?

so better not buying the phone from ee or p4u?
saw the grey one in the advert in town and thought i might go with it:/
want it unlocked so.
didnt find a proper offer in UK or Germany so far
I am the proud new owner of an Xperia Tablet Z, coming from an awful iPad 1.
I bought the tablet outright, but didnt realise that it has been locked to the O2 network so I can't put any data sim in that I want.
Does anyone know how to remove the sim lock on this tab? My local O2 store where I bought it told me today that they can't/ wont do it, which I find pretty unfair, as I didnt get it on a contract on anything
I am also not happy about the ridiculous 02 splashscreen that greets me when I turn the tablet on. Looks bl00dy terrible,
Despite these issue I love the looks and performance from this beast.
Just hope I can address both issue with the help from you kind fellows!
I would've thought it was obvious that if you buy from a network provider it's going to be locked to their network! Take it back to o2, then go next door to carphonewarehouse and but one from them, they're devices are always unlocked / unbranded.

But, before you do take it back, make an ftf of your firmware, just in case any other users might need it, there's a distinct lack of ftf's available for this device!

Not necessarily. My iPad was purchased directly from the newtwork and that wasn't locked :angel:
I won't go to CPW because its more expensive, +£100

I guess that's the price you pay.... I would've thought that o2 would give you an unlock code seeing as you bought it without a contract?
You can get rid of the o2 splash screen by flashing a generic fw onto it, but, as I previously mentioned, make a backup of your current fw just in case...
