Hi Guys,
I really need your advice.
I bought a locked Lumia 920 AT&T. Yesterdar I received the unlock code from AT&T, BUT THE UNLOCK CODE DOESN'T WORK.
I inserted my Sim Card (Mobifone, Vietnam), and input 20 digits, it showed "Incorrect Pin", 9 attempts remaining
- I wrote the UNLOCK CODE (20 Digit) and shows a message: "SIM ERROR", "9 attempts remaining"
- I repeated it again, also got a message: "SIM ERROR", "9 attempts remaining"
- And so on....
How could it be, if the code is wrong, it should be "8 attemps remaining"..
What should I do now to unlock my phone?
Very appreciate for your help.

how can you get unlock code from at&t.
hello đồng hương,***g cảnh ngộ
If the phone is not on contract, just call them and ask them for a code. All you need is the phones IEMI number. If it is still on contract they will not allow you to unlock it.

I bought two of these phones off eBay.
Both locked from two different sellers.
I can't find any service that can get them unlocked. And tried even getting one the sellers to call ATT to get unlocked code but no luck so far.
I don't get why this is even happening. Never used to be this hard and take soo long to get phones unlocked.
Would be good to get by this.

You have tried 6 times.
Please wait for retry.
what does this mean i never enter the code before am i doing something wrong or is this normal?

Leave it on in that advisory screen for at least 8 hours until that message disappears. It would show "enter subsidy code" again. Make sure you buy a new correct unlock code and try it again.
If this doesn't work, it is actually locked for good.

joyo22's answer helped you?
because i'm having the same problem, but i leave it with the message for more than 8 hours and nothing.. i leave it also with the screen turned on, and nothing.
when i reboot the phone, i see the message to insert the code, but after 1 minute the "contact service provider" screen appears again.
I hope that you are still looking for a solution...
This is how I get my Atrix unlocked:
1. I bought an unlock code from gsmliberty.com
2. the procedure states that you have to insert a non-allowed sim card and when the phone powers on, a screen appears to input the code. This is wrong!!!! what It is real (in case of TELCEL MX) is that you do not have to insert a non-allowed sim just from Dial pad input #073887*, this will direct you to the screen code lock input and there you must type the code you bought, in my case from GSMLiberty.com
3. That's all, you can test with a second chip, like movistar and there you will test and view your phone is unlocked!!
help!!

Hi,
I got my Terrain months ago and using AT&T. Seller already given me the unlock code and I won't unlock it until now, I am going to change carrier, and forgot how to enter the unlock code. I sent message to seller but it seem he already forgot me and telling me all phone were unlocked before sent.
I am stuck with using my old phone, I appreciate if anyone can tell me how to.
Tried #7320*code#, #3210*code# or **00012*CODE# from Google but no help.
Thank you !!

You have to stick a non-AT&T SimCard in the phone. If the phone is unlocked then it will just connect to the carrier without trouble. If the phone is locked it will immediately ask you for a code and if you don't enter the correct code or cancel, it will not connect to the carrier. If you do not put a SimCard in the phone at all it will not prompt for an unlock code.
I have two of these NEC Terrains, one unlocked and one locked. Just to confirm the difference between the two I stuck a non-AT&T SimCard in the locked one. That is how I can tell you for certain that is how this phone works. I'm not just making it up or assuming this is how it should work, I've seen it with my own eyes.
Good Luck.

Hi,
I just bought a second hand Lumia 800 for parts.
Being carrier locked, I did the process to obtain the unlock code based on the IMEI.
Until that step, no problem.
Then, when I try to unlock it, it keeps saying, wrong unlock code (three attempts so far).
I've gone into a chat session with the carrier customer service and confirmed again the unlock code (i've checked IMEI on both sticker and *#06#).
What's wrong here???
Anyone faced the issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.
