Hey everyone! I've got T-Mobile and I'm debating whether I should buy an AT&T Lumia 920 but I don't know if the same thing is going to happen like with the Lumia 900, No codes until after 6 months. So instead of investing in the phone I'm not sure is going to work, I can invest in your phone to see if there is an unlock available for it. If you have an AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 message me and I will pay for an unlock from cellunlocker . net . So I could see if unlocks are available for the AT&T phones. So you help me figure out if we can unlock these and you get your phone unlocked free! If you're interested message me with your IMEI. AT&T phones only.
Seriously no one wants an unlock? I'm dying to know if the AT&T Lumias can be unlocked :-S
They can't be. Not for 6 months.
Numerous people have tried. Please read the threads above and below yours before posting.
Rogers will unlock their model for 50$. Don't think that'll help you though.

I know the Rogers model works on WIND which means it'll also work on T-Mobile.

Hello I actually bought a Lumia 920 last Thursday(15.11) from AT&T they told me that it can be unlocked but I'm still waiting to get the unlock code.
I told them that if It can't be unlocked I will return it and they said that is ok, so lets see after some days if its possible or not.
Well i have two Nokia Lumia 920, and i need to unlock them too. Sign me up.

Nothing specific I only walked in and told them I want to buy a Lumia 920, And I want to be able to use it with an other operator as I'm not from the USA. And they told me no problem. But lets see if I get any unlock codes from them, in the unlock e-mail I got it was written it will take 5 - 7 business day to get the unlock codes.

I was definitely serious. I got two responses. So I went with who sent me a request first but.... OH MY GOD!!! ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!!!
They've gotta be joking! I was expecting it to be 40 tops.
That's cellunlocker.net.
Does anyone know somewhere else offering AT&T codes?

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.
Thanks, I'll try them later on today and I also saw one on freenokia.org but it's 40 euros. If these guys don't work I'm gonna try freenokia.org.

Interesting.
I'm wondering if they have not just screwed this one up as there is also a listing for an (Unlocked) Lumia 920 @ $794. Obviously a non-AT&T one.
Still I'm going to chuck down an order and send them a message asking to confirm this is actually unlocked.

Please let us know if you hear back from them. I'll buy one if it's really unlocked!
I haven't purchased a 920 yet. I probably won't, I'll pass on WP if I cannot find a Dev 920 or an unlocked non-ATT branded version. And I'm on ATT, such is my hatred for branding and gimping.
Small update if anybody is interested. Got a reply from expansys regarding my order;
Hello, it has been confirmed with AT&T that this device is unlocked.
Thank you have a wonderful day!

Take it with a grain of salt but they're digging themselves a pretty big hole if this proves to be incorrect.
The downside is they do not expect my order to ship out till 10th December:crying:

Did they tell you it won't ship till the 10th? The website says "Usually ships in 8 days", yesterday it said "9 days", wonder what that means. I placed my order and tried to get in touch with them on the phone, but I guess they're not taking calls Thanksgiving weekend.

I have been trying to get the unlock code from AT$T ever since I got this phone. finally, the code is now available to customers for free and I got my yesterday. just in time for my trip overseas later this month. now my little aria is perfect.
so call at$t and get your aria unlocked
Do you need a foreign sim for it to unlock, or can you simply boot with no sim inserted?
you will need a sim card. all you have to do is:
1. power down
2. remove your AT$T sim
3. insert any sim, active or inactive (in my case I used my china mobile sim)
4. boot back up
5. it will ask you for the unlock code
6. type in code
7. done. your aria is free and unlocked
I tested it by using my friends t-mobiles sim and it worked fine

What exactly did you do to get the unlock code? I just called them and they said that an unlock code is not available for this phone
Also, are you out of contract or still in contract? when i called again, they said that the phone is still in contract, so they can't provide an unlock code.

boxcar8028,
wondering who you called/number. I too called yesterday (before reading this) even talked toa supervisor in the US (not India call center which is worthless) and they told me ATT doesn't provide unlocking code for the Aria ever (!), and would be 9 months from purchase for my other HTC phone (Inspire 4G) - both are in contract.
Sight, as I switched to ATT to get a world phone, and I'm traveling to europe in a week. Not looking foreward to paying >$25/phone on soem untrusted site...

not sure why AT$T didn't give you the code, but keep trying. it took me 4 try's in the past 7 months and each time they would tell me the same thing "code is not available for this phone" until last week. but maybe its because I have been with ATT for over 10 years, and yes my aria has a 2 year contract (17 months to go) and if they ask you why you want it unlocked, just tell them for use traveling overseas. keep trying, good luck.

not sure about a used aria, but AT$T will ask for the IMEI number to track the hardware. be careful AT$T may try to get you into a two year contract.

I just called 1-800-331-0500
I have been trying for over 7 months. each time I ask AT$T would always say check back in 2 months. not sure if the more you ask the more likely you'll get the code or not.
I thought AT$T would just make the code open to all now since the aria is an older model

We can make this happen if everyone will ask for this in AT&T forums. If HTC listened with the rom locking, I'm sure we can make AT&T listen as well.

as we can see even though the phone is sold exclusively by AT&T you still got the code. So the guidelines don't represent the situation here.
Unlock Codes
I'm going to try to get my unlock code. If they tell me they can't do it, I'm going to remind them that unlocking my phone is my right and the DCMA was modified by the custodian of the Library of Congress. If they refuse, I'm going to demand that they purchase my phone. Either way, if I don't get the code, I'm going to start filing complaints with the FCC. I don't believe they have a choice in the unlocking debate.
Cell phone providers, software providers, etc, enjoy benefits and protections that no one would tolerate for any other device. If you purchased a car that would only run on gas from one station, you would burn the dealership to the ground. But cell phone companies do it, because many people don't exercise their rights.
yeah, I have to agreed with you. I wish USA cell services was more like overseas, were people are more lock into their phone numbers then their providers. make sure to point out that you are within the unlock rules of AT$T and hopefully they will give you the code. - good luck

I'm sure everybody here support our right for unlocked devices. But this is even not the issue here. Even if we assume that AT&T has the right to lock the device, it seems that the company does give out the unlock codes to many users. That's what really frustrates me since I don't understand the reason to prefer one customer over another.
Please update us on any progress.
You just have to have been used the phone for 3-4 months for them to give you the unlock code. I have done this with previous phones, as well as with my Aria and my Mom's Aria. Both of them I bought on craigslist, so not on contract.

Steps: Put a foreign sim card in the phone, type the unlock code and press done. The phone is now unlocked.

Hasoon, maybe you can confirm...I knew that Gsm network providers (att, tmo) used to provide the unlock codes to customers. So long as the customer answered every question they had and didn't suspect the customer to have ill-intentions.
Do they still provide it? Last time I tried thru a carrier, it turned into a two week q&a session and never getting the device unlocked...thru them.
If you wouldn't mind, please share how this works from your stand-point (reseller) from mfr >carrier>customers {ie, where does the device"supplier" you referenced come in?}

If you have T-Mobile and want to unlock an AT&T phone, they won't do it. You have to have the carrier's service and they will unlock the phone that they provide for their network.
With me, it works as MFR -> supplier -> Me -> my customers. My supplier buys the database of codes, I buy the codes from my supplier, my customers buy the codes from me.

Don't get me wrong, but could you please post a picture of the full frontal of the phone with Wind Home showing in the Call Tile?
Some people doubt and say that they have confirmed with Nokia that it is not compatible with Wind.
I am going to spend $675 only if it is compatible with Wind as I don't support Robellus.
Thanks in advance!
Lumia 920 does support WIND mobile?
Just being unlocked is not quite enough: does it also have AWS 1700 enabled? If both, Rogers can expect a flood of orders from T-Mo customers.

Before you get a non-rogers card, can you try doing a manual network selection and verify that you also see Wind mobile listed. IIRC, the Lumia 900 wouldn't even detect Wind.

On the other hand, EG8196 and hkalltheway are the only people in any of these threads who have actually used the phone and they both confirm that it was unlocked out of the box and that they are either using it on Wind or have had Wind show up on a network scan.
All the conflicting evidence is based on Nokia specs and claims which have historically been off base. For example, in the HoFo thread, there is a guy who said Nokia told him the N8 wouldn't work on Wind (we all know it does).

This guy is showing some more screenshots of it working, I guess that solves it!

Ok, gift horse, mouth etc... but what's with "made a few calls to test"? How hard would it be to try and see if you really get 3G web browsing?
This question is for anyone who has a pixel 6, or really any new pixel (5, 5a, 4a) on At&T or Firstnet (same policies).
Does ATT's Sim unlock also enable Bootloader unlock. (Ungrey the setting in dev options and allow root).
Trying to confirm what this user said: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/at-t-pixel-5-is-carrier-locked.4195785/post-84100651
For anyone who says "Just buy a Google one", I can't. I'm a first responder and need a full firstnet capable device. I also don't have $900 to spend on a pixel 6 pro, especially when FirstNet is discounting the mmwave + sub 6 pixel 6 $200 for first responders.
THIS IS FOR TMOBILE but is prob similar on ATT -- i have owned several tmobile oneplus devices, as well as countless other tmobile devices. can't help but trade in my old junk, you know? anyway, if you are getting your phone on EIP, then you will need to stay on the network for 40 days before you can ask tmobile to SIM unlock your phone. and they will do it. no questions. just make sure that phone is activated on the tmo network for 40 days. this is for SIM unlock.
alternatively, you can pay the phone off in full. then tmobile will SIM unlock it for your sooner. again, this is SIM unlock.
alternatively (#2), there's a guy on XDA who does this for Tmobile. he requires 3 days of active service. there may be someone similar for ATT.
once you are SIM unlocked, the OEM UNLOCKING toggle becomes active. at that point you can turn it on.
from there, its a matter of using fastboot commands to unlock the bootloader. or whatever other methods are necessary on a pixel phone. i've owned oneplus phones for the last 8 years so this will all be new to me when i get my pixel 6 in a couple days.

I chatted TMobile on Facebook and they unlocked me tho even tho I'm on EIP
Yes. I purchased a Pixel 6 from AT&T and have subsequently paid it off and unlocked it. My OEM unlocking toggle is no longer grayed out.

Did you have to fill out their online web form , or put in the new sim for it to ungrey out ? How long did it take to allow you to change the setting?
Also thanks for answering. This is good news.
Interesting. Does anyone know if you have to have an AT&T account to purchase an AT&T phone at full retail price (ie: without buying it on a plan and then paying it off)?
I wonder if it would be possible to purchase an AT&T Pixel 6 outright so it's unlocked, unlock the bootloader, and use it on Verizon (with full Sub-6 and mmWave support).

I filled out the online web form and then waited a few hours until I received confirmation that the device was unlocked.

It looks like you would have to have an account and choose a plan, but you could cancel it immediately if you bought the phone at full price. At worst you would have to pay $30 for activation, but hopefully not.

Seems doable.
I wonder if the VZ and/or AT&T variant of the firmware is needed for mmWave to function correctly or if the "global," non carrier-specific firmware still includes drivers for mmWave (even though the global variant of the phone lacks a mmWave modem).
Probably a stretch, but I figure it's worth asking: You wouldn't happen to have access to and/or know somebody that has a 5G Verizon phone with a 5G sim you could test it with, do you? Even better would be in an area with known-working 5G mmWave.

Good question. I had assumed the mmWave capability was hardware-dependent. Honestly I'm not sure.

Unfortunately no.
Super excited received my P6 from tmobile today, loving it so far, except for the fact that i cant unlock the device!, i received it and dev option was already enabled and the device has a greyed out Oem unlock with (cannot be used on carrier locked device)
I believe you can unlock the bootloader once the device has been paid off in full. That was the case with my 4 xl anyway
So you need to contact tmobile and get an unlock code, or look for an unlock app here, but I'll try to help by asking, whats a p6?
A year away from leaving primary school lol...
Nah, seriously, who made the p6?

hmm well you are a cheerful one, id answer your question, but i see you have an issue with context clues, figuring out what a "P6" is on a forum called Pixel 6. i bet blocks and holes was hard for you as a kid also
Moderator you can close this thread im posting what i did to unlock my device! thank you.

You have to the sim unlocked. TMobile's policy is 40 days after purchase and paid off, they will unlock the sim, which provides the authorization (ungrey) to unlock the bootloader.
You can try and chat with T-Mobile via social media and they may or may not unlock the sim for you. It's good to have a reason you need it unlocked.
I answer a question in the HELP OTHERS ANSWER UN_ANSWERED QUESTIONS... thanks...
Ah, GOOGLE made it. That was not in the title, hence my question.
Wooosaaaaah...
This is neither a google OR pixel thread.
Twas an unanswered question.

Lmfao, alright alright, thats fair, i thought you were lurking in the thread tryna be funny, i used to love to troll, hence my response. i thought it would have showed it was a Pixel 6 thread
Lol, I noticed only after you replied that while you were in your own thread, I was just answering questions in the un-answered questions section, my apologies
Ask @mobbdeep
Your best bet is chat, if the chat doesn't do it. Call in during mid day to get ahold of a local expert. You can ask for a whitelist of your IMEI. 'Your job requires it to have the bootloader unlock'.
Had mine done today because the software was broken - forced flash all partitions through the pixel utility.
But give T-Maybe a call.
It took me (7) times, yes 6 returns and re-upgrades before i got the right rep to whitelist the IMEI, before i even took the device out of the box, the customer service rep had the IMEI whitelisted and Carrier Unlocked Successfully.
I am awaiting my P6P now, and if the 1st boot with no SIM doesn't work, to the phone i'll go...
I talked to a FB chat rep and he didn't do it for me. Attempt 1 is a failure. I'll try again tomorrow and then maybe everyday once. All I need is just one considerate rep.

Throughout the years I've noticed @T-MobileHelp on Twitter has more tools/authority in General, over Customer Care or in a Store. That being said, they are more "by the book" and stick to the rules more. The only difference was I told them it was a replacement device, and my last Pixel (4XL) was Unlocked. No questions asked, the Rep flipped the switch without question. Device was NOT paid off, it was actually billed to my account, downpayment and all...

Actually, right after my reply last night at 1:30 am CST, I talked to a customer service rep and asked her to out my device to whitelist. And she did it! She said that it'll take up to 24 hours for the request to get processed. She also confirmed that then my device will be network unlocked and I'll be able to OEM unlock.
20 hours have passed since then and I'm waiting patiently...

I'm picking up a Pixel 6 tomorrow from T-Mobile - what kind of work would require this? Just want to be prepared when I call them in case they push the issue.
P.S. Sorry to necropost

This contradicts most of what we know. For T-Mobile to have your IMEI in their system, you’d have to have the SIM card in the phone and have used it, otherwise they wouldn’t have record of your IMEI? Even @mobbdeep who was the user here that unlocks TMO for us for free, one his requirements was exactly this, the device to be unlocked needs to have the SIM currently installed for a minimum of 3 days. He even went as far as saying if we happened to remove it at any time, the 3 day minimum resets. But other Pixel 6 users said they were able to unlock the same or next day after buying it so maybe 3 days is no longer required, however the phone sim still needed to be inserted for your IMEI to show in the system. How did you unlock a device that you hadn’t possessed yet and why the need to return the device 6-7 times? If TMO refused to unlock you, there’s no need to return or reupgrade your device? There’s nothing wrong with it, the issue is with the TMO rep, them refusing to help means they likely did nothing to your device at all so no need to exchange it?
I asked Twitter T-Mobile help to get my phone unlocked. They did it for me. After I got the notification I tried to use the unlock app from T-Mobile for Google pixels only. It didn't work. I suspect you don't need it though.
