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
http://www.expansys.com/nokia-lumia-920-black-236807/
Unlocked Lumia 920 from GSMNation (all pre orders)
http://www.gsmnation.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=lumia+920
If you have some new information, please share here.
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

Yes, as far as I know, there is no LTE in international versions sold by Expansys and GSMNations.

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

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.

He paid retail for the phone. The unlock code he received was from AT&T because he had proof that he bought the phone at retail price.

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.

Just been talking to a guy at FoneFunShop about unlocking the lumia 800 on Orange UK. Conversation is below

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?

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.

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:

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.

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

Yeah I've had no luck with p4u either. My main thing is that I think the carrier lock affects the NFC options for registering a card as I have not been able to get about bank cards on the NFC to associate in wallet
I was looking forward to that feature.

I haven't used them for Nokia but contact fonefunshop, they have always helped me in the past!
UPDATE. according to their website they can unlock Lumia 920 locked to EE for £30! I have used them several times in the past and their communication and service is A+!
I visited a couple of those high-street unlocking guys, and they said they could do it for 25 GBP and 40GBP respectively.. Anyone had luck with them? I don't know if I trust them or not..

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.
Kind regards,
Lucy Fox

Thanks for the mention! Gone and proceeded with the order
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?
Sent from my RM-821_eu_euro1_342 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
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
The ATT unlocking website does not recognize my IMEI. I guess that is because i bought it from samsung.com. My number is not under a contract. So how do i go about getting this unlocked? From samsung, att or will i have to purchase a third party unlock code (which third party do i use?)? Thanks.
Well if u paid full for the phone from samsung it should be unlocked to use with any network.
you can unlock from att. Just wait a week or two for samsung to sent the EMEI to ATT. Or do what I did, contact ATT over facebook and explained that you paid in full. It may take several tries with different rep, but you will eventually get one rep that will open a ticket for you.

I am curious as to why you bought the ATT version vs the standard unlocked version?

I bought my att s9+ from Samsung.com and I got the imei from Samsung customer service before the phone was even delivered to me. Went To att device unlock site, entered my imei and had the code emailed to me the same morning before my phone came in. Sim unlocked it on first boot! I would submit the request again if you haven't bought a 3rd party unlock yet cause it's free from att.

I got mine and of April it was on sale for $639. Traded in my backup s7 (I'm coming from note 8) for an extra $200 so $466.**after tax was my total. Plus I should have a Dex pad coming any day now. (Have a Dex station already I only used twice, for sale if anyone interested lol)
You can do it 3rd party faster. I had the same problem with a note 8. It takes about 3 months for it to show up on ATT unlock site. Easier to pay 10$ on ebay and be done with it.
Att website work when the phone is not under contract, but if you still owed money on it better use a third party service..we had a great experience with this guy samattunlock.com
