I have just place an order with theunlockguys.com, they said it's going to take 2 business days.
I will report my result here.
Has anyone anywhere ever actually got the code from one of these "unlockers" for any phone at a time when the carrier was not giving the codes to anyone?

I highly doubt that it will work. The only way to get an unlock code is to get it from AT&T, who as previously stated, are not giving them out.

Keep us updated if anyone tries one of these unlocks. If this works I'll buy one from AT&T, if not, I'm gonna be getting the Lumia 810. I want Nokia on T-Mobile!

Aren't you worried about being stuck on 2G if you use AT&T's version on Tmo?

OP,
Please only post if you actually get the code. We have seen this same pattern on L900 forum for 6 months. They all take your money but none of them can give you a code.

With the 920, they will be able to get 2g, 3g and LTE, just not Tmo 4G if I read it right with the frequencies offered.

For T-Mo, there is no LTE yet. And its 4G is the same thing as 3G. So, if you can't get T-mo 4G, you can't get 3G either. You stuck with 2G.
If you're in a refarm area you will get 3G even without T-Mobile's magic 3G frequency.
The unlockguys.com is no go:
Hello Oscar,

Unlocked 920
I went into the new Microsoft Store in Toronto today and picked up a locked 920 for $550. Came home and used cell unlocker . net and my phone was unlocked in 2 hours. Way cheaper than what Rogers was charging. P.S. Now running on Wind Mobile in Canada!

Awesome, as far as I can tell you're the first to confirm an unlock from a third party unlocking service.
Ehh it wasn't an AT&T unlock.
He got it from Canada so it was likely from Rogers.
There is still and probably won't be an unlock from Att for 6 months.
There are a lot of 920s on ebay saying they're unlockable from Att which is utter bs.
You have been warned.

If you bought the Rogers model, it was unlocked to begin with (according to other accounts). did you try it with the Wind sim before gettingr an unlock code?

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:

Hi all!
My friend was bought a Lumia 800 for Christmas, but its locked to Orange and he does not have an Orange sim.
I have had a look on a few sites stating they can unlock it, but 2 have failed to do so so far!
And having to wait a week+ each time to see if its worked is just getting on my tits!
Anyone know of a place I can get an actual working unlock code
Cheers

Check ##782# in the dialer and it will tell you if it's definitely sim locked or not.
Get him to contact Orange and request them to unlock it. Maybe say you're going on holiday somewhere for a month...
This site could unlock it.
As it is early days it is expensive to unlock it due to certain technical restrictions. See this thread for an explanation and more discussion on sim unlocking.
Will check if its locked in a min, but im pretty sure it is.
Will try orange if the current unlocker i have orderd from does not deliver the code today!
I have tried UnlockLiberty.com and currently trying unlockitnow.com!
I expect it to be expensive to be honest but as long as we can actually get it unlocked in the first place would be a start
Cheers matey
Bought mine from the pcw and tried your # thing. When I dialled the # code it says its already unlocked

Orange can unlock it as long as you know the original mobile number that it came with. It will take upto 30 days and cost £20.42p. So if you can get it done elsewhere it'll be quicker and cheaper.

It's a small circuit board that sits between the SIM and the phone, they generally cost a couple of quid, and somehow do work.

Well i have orderd a GEVEY TURBO SIM adapter to see if it will also work in our Nokia.
They do say for all versions of iPhone, but i cant see why it wont work in the Nokia...
Worth a shot anyway! haha
the reason no one is getting unlock codes from the suppliers mentioned for lumia on orange or tmobile uk is because the lumia is actually locked to a new hybrid orange/tmobile mcc+mnc network.
phones locked to this network are not locked to tmobile or orange, they are actually locked to both networks, try both sims and you will see for yourself, that the phone will take sims from both networks, but not any other.
T-Mobile and Orange UK have merged recently.
They have started locking newer NOKIA handsets to a new MERGED network MNC+MCC
NEW T-Mobile / Orange UK Merge Lock uses MNC+MCC = 2343300190233141
Older Standard Orange UK uses MNC+MCC = 2343300000000000
Older Standard T-Mobile UK uses MNC+MCC = 2343000000000000
*
Known models with hybrid lock
Nokia Lumia 700 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile
Nokia Lumia 710 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile
Nokia Lumia 800 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile
Nokia E7-00 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile
*
What About Other Nokia Models?
There will be more models released soon that will require this service too.*
Remember these are newer Nokia handsets, you wont need it for older models.
*
How to Check if Other Nokia is Locked To This New Network.
There are 2 ways to check orange and tmobile nokia handsets. to see if they are truly locked to the new orange/t-mobile uk network or are actually locked to the standard Orange UK or standard T-Mobile UK networks
*
Method 1.
Try both a t-mobile sim and an orange sim in the nokia phone
if the phone accepts BOTH SIMS = locked to new T-Mobile/Orange hybrid network
if only the orange sim works = locked to Orange UK network
if only the t-mobile sim works = locked to T-Mobile UK network
*
Method 2.
Read phone info using usb cable and this software
(software requires nokia pc suite installed first for drivers, full video guide @ the bottom of this page: http://www.imeicodes.co.uk/instruction/nokia.php)
If it displays config key 2343300190233141 = locked to new T-Mobile/Orange hybrid network*
If it displays config key 2343300000000000 = locked to Orange UK network
If it displays config key 2343000000000000 = locked to T-Mobile UK network
Which begs the question, are there actually any solutions yet? If we can't get unlock codes off Orange nor T-Mobile, as the 800 is locked to both, who do we get the codes off?
Ive tried sim-unlock.net and unlockdata.co.uk with no success. anyone else have other places to order from?
fonefun, thanks for the update on the carrier situation.
Does this mean that the database is only accessable by T-Mobile and Orange at the minute or do unlocking sites have access to the algorithm/codes too?

we have tested around 12 imeis before we put the service live. so yes you will start to see this service on other codes site as our resellers catchup to speed on this very new service.
the service is online already for single code buyers for the tmobile/orange hybrid network locked nokia handsets on the imeicodes website mentioned earlier in this thread. they take about a week to process at the moment. look for the "Special T-Mobile UK / Orange UK Nokia Unlock Codes" service on the prices page
Hi Fonefun,
Got a Lumia 800 from e-bay not sure if Orange or the hybrid network.
I can't seem to get the Nokia BB5 usb utility to read the phone config key. I tried the 2.5 version too.
The lumia doesn't use the nokia suite but Zune. I installed both with no success. I tried on both a Win7 and Win XP machine. The phone is recognised in Zune but not the utility.
Any advice would be welcome.
Jon
all lumia on orange or tmobile are hybrid
you wont be able to read the lock area using that software, because the lumia is different and cant be read by anything at the moment.
we read an e7-00 ok though with it, this is how we discovered the hybrid. after trying 2 sims in the e7-00 we confirmed this was the case.
so we got the lumias and tried orange and tmobile sims in them, and yes both worked, but any other sim did not, so we sumarised that the lumias are also locked to the hybrid network, we got the new hybrid codes for them and unlocked them, we tried on 800 lumia, our sources tell us all lumia are the same lock types for tmobile and orange also.
we put the link on for the code reading software to enable people to check newish handsets too because we simply dont have the handsets to try ourselves, so there may be more...
[Q] Tempted to order the AT&T Lumia 920 unlocked from Expansys, what will be broken?
Because the Rogers Lumia 920 is black only and I am actually a Bell customer here in Canada and I have a decent deal with them without a contract, I am tempted to order the unlocked Lumia 920 from expansys.ca.
However, what will not work if I do that? From a cursory glance at the Internet, it seems that MMS and possibly Internet Tethering may not work. Has anyone tried this yet?

I am not at all concerned that it will be available unlocked. I am concerned that all the features of an unlocked Lumia 920 will work on Bell. Specifically in the past users have had issues with MMS and Internet Tethering... I am hoping somebody else has jumped on this device from expansys.ca and can share their experiences.

BTW, the unlocked version from Expansys Canada is $800. You may want to check out Clove, where it is priced at $630. I would assume that tethering should work on an international unlocked version. I may check out the ones from Clove, rather than buy a (hard to find) Rogers version.

Unless I am mistaken, the international version will not work with Bell's LTE network. Bell requires 1700MHz currently don't they? http://www.clove.co.uk/nokia-lumia-920
The LTE frequencies listed on the Clove website are 800 / 900/ 1800/ 2100 / 2600. The AT&T device does support 1700. I don't want HSPA+ if I can get LTE.

Sot it should work. Why are you so sure that Expansys isn't able to unlock the phones? I am hoping to hear back from them tomorrow. The Nexus 4 is starting to look pretty compelling at this point, no hoops to jump through and a great price. I just really like Windows Phone and am excited about it but I do have limits.

Just a guess, but I think most of the hesitation around unlocking has to do with the fact that there is apparently an AT&T exclusivity agreement, and that sales of unlocked phones is prohibited by that. Nokia really didn't do themselves any favors if this is the case.
I honestly can't believe that Microsoft didn't set it up so you could order them straight from MS, and set it up like the Nexus 4... but then this type of reasoning requires logic, which it seems most companies in this business are completely bereft of.

Oh I know the phone arrives @ AT&T locked. But most carriers will now unlock them for a fee. Rogers charges $50, Bell charges $75. I am assuming that AT&T does something similar, and thus outfits like Expansys can take care of this for you (and take care of importing and other niceties) and sell the phone at a premium? I emailed them about it, hope to hear back soon.
Windows Phone 8 includes MMS setup now, so there's no need for a Nokia-supplied network setup app and there's little worry about getting MMS working.

However, reports on the Nokia Canada Facebook page indicate that a user on a different network could NOT get MMS nor tethering to work on an unlocked Rogers 920. I'd imagine that the AT&T would have the same problem. *sigh* almost ready to give up here. Nokia has made it basically almost impossible to get an unlocked Lumia in North America. They obviously hold Canadian customers in contempt. Perhaps they don't even deserve my business. It's too bad its a nice phone Super discouraged right now.

I totally feel your frustration. I too am with Bell and want a 920. my problem is I want a RED one. and rogers for some insane reason only carries black. (rogers logo color is what? RED)
I have been hunting around for a unlocked RED 920 sense its launch. all I keep finding are the UK versions of the phone.
I have gotten so confused with trying to figure out which phone supports Bell LTE that I may be giving up soon.
I don't want to toss out 6-800 $ for a phone that only partly works. the whole reason I am in the market for a new phone is wifi tethering.
lets see what comes first, nexus 4 in stock or me locating a red 920 for bell network. (heck I would settle for a white one now)
Going by NaviFirm, there's a red Rogers variant. Hope you get that. The Access Point app has worked perfectly for me for tethering and MMS.

I didnt check but I was in Taipei and Indonesia last week and the 920 worked fantastic; using an ATT sim and roaming on the other networks.
I bought my 920 full price but when I tried to unlock it ATT said it was a six month exclusive and they would not unlock until that time.

No, because AT&T 920s will be sim locked to AT&T for the next 6 months. But, you can roam internationally just fine, on your AT&T plan.
There have been several threads here on this issue. Let’s not start another.

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.

"I get that question a lot here on ebay, I buy these phones already unlocked"

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

well i dont have an active at&t account, if anything i willing to check for you is if its in a black list or not. you can either load your IMEI here or if you feel more comfortable PM me. then i can call them and check status. after they give me the status i can give you the feedback they gave me.
you decide.

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.
