Hello friends,
I want to ask if you can recommend any way to unlock a Dell Venue Android phone... it's locked with AT&T... i got it at ebay..
There are software to unlock it like iphone's ?
Software to unlock, contact dell, buy a code ?
Thanks
Hi rodrigohv,
Even I bought my Venue on ebay and it was locked to AT&T network, the seller on ebay, I bought the phone from had listed that he will help if you wanted the unlock code. So I reached out to him and he called Dell and gave me the unlock code. You can try this method and let me know if it works
Thanks.
thanks friend, i already contacted this guy, he agreed to help me, i hope just ATT or Dell can provide the code....
Anyone have more info on unlocking the Venue. I purchased it from someone and it is locked to AT&T. Dell is saying my service provider needs to contact them. And I dont have a service provider now.
Want to unlock
Contact shallow blue at [email protected]

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:

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!
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!

;( I am sorry it didn't work out. It was worth a try.
I am looking for anyone who can help me.. i have tried everything.. every website i have found on or off this forum to unlock my t-mobile UK locked lumia 800. Everyone has given me a refund back and been unable to help me.. I live in australia and am a student so simply buying a new one is not affordable for me.. i have tried calling t-mobile int he uk numerous times endured lengthy costly calls only to have them tell me they cant help me because i am not a t-mobile customer..
Initially i was in contact with the person that i purchased th phone off and t-mobile sent them an unlock code for me which they passed on.. BUT it doesnt work?? the code is wrong or faulty.. and they have since ceased contact with me rendering me handicapped with a glorified gps camera..
SO i offer say this
1. Can anyone suggest a way for me to unlock my phone
2. Is anyone who is a t-mobile customer who would be willing to ring them up on my behalf (i would provide you with all the information about my phone) and get an unlock code for me..?

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.

I have a Lumia 710 that I need unlocked ASAP. I've tried cellunlocker.net and their services and they came back with no code available. I have a phone sale pending of this and need to get it unlocked. It's on a prior T mobile account i had and don't anymore. Use mac and windows and looking for a quick solution. Paid $30 for an unlock code and got nowhere, but a refund so that was good.
Looking for any help asap to unlock it for sale. Anyone able to help?
My direct email is [email protected] as well. Will pay for a valid unlock code if needed as long as it unlocks it properly. Thanks
Hello all,
I have had my Lumia 920 for a few months now an have yet to find a service that can successfully provide me with an unlock code. I have even lost money on a few sites that refuse to respond to my refund request. I was and still am very desperate to obtain the unlock code.
My only other alternative was to request it through AT&T however I am located in Jamaica so I have never had an account with them so I was turned down.
I am hereby asking if there is anyone out there who is a current or former customer of AT&T who would be willing to request an unlock code for me through there online device unlock service.
Please let me know so that I can provide the IMEI
THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!
