Hi,
I was getting my Iphone unlocked this morning and I asked ATT rep when would I be able to request a unlock code for Lumia 920 and rep answered May 9th. so hopefully from may 9th we will be able get a unlock codes from ATT. :good:
First date they gave me was 28th Feb.. then 16th March.. then June..
so now we have May9th..
AT&T... balls..
It is always 6-month from the release day (for nearly all new AT&T smartphones, not just Lumias). So, L920 was released on Nov. 9, 2012. May 9, 2013 is exactly six months later. That's the correct date. Any other dates are pure BS.

i'm thinking that is really the date friend of mine who works at att was trying to get unlock code for me but after running my imei he told me not till may 9th
You would think if May 9 is the date that there be a media blitz or some public announcement about this for an Iconic device.
Only iPhone get that kind of media attantion. Lumia 920 hardly a big sell on AT&T. I'd bet GS3 sold multiple times of L920. All new phones from AT&T has lock out period.
I have small query, If i buy AT&T L920 now(off contract)... and my phone is no longer in US when unlock codes are released by AT&T.. will i be able to retrieve unlock code for my 920 over the web or any other mode outside US?

The only way to get unlock code from AT&T is to call AT&T customer service. Officially, AT&T only offer unlock code to its customers. They don't have any obligation to offer non-customer the code but in the past they do offer them to you.

Actually it isn't. We provide unlock codes as part of our business. We don't call their customer service team for each unlock code that is ordered.
Codes are kept in a database corresponding to each unique IMEI. Therefore, if you have access to the databases, you can obtain the unlock codes.

AFAIK, there is no outside access to the unlock code database for Nokia phones within lockout period. This is true for Lumia 900 and still true for Lumia 920.

Well, on my 4th call to ATT customer service I managed to get the rep to open a case, he gave me a case number and said I should be receiving an email within a week with my unlock code because I purchased the phone outright and it is not tied to my contract!!! you see, I dont have att service but my in-laws do, for a long time now....So, I called about 4 days ago and said I had a new phone that my children (impersonating a 60 yr old woman) bought for me because they knew how much I hated my current phone, so I registered it on my account and what not, then I explained to the rep that I was traveling to europe and that I needed to use my phone there with a local carrier because I did not want to incur any extra expenses with att, they then proceeded to ask for my IMEI and then to tell me that my phone was not eligible to be unlocked because there was an agreement between Nokia and att, I asked what should I do, that I couldnt believe that I had to purchase a phone in europe, that I was with att because of their 'easy ways' etc......I was transferred to another rep who just explained in detail why the phone could not be unlocked and told me that I should try to "rent a phone"......I initially stated that I was staying in europe for about one week and I was very very nice!, well, they would not help me. TODAY I called with a NOT SO NICE ATTITUDE, i stated that I was traveling to europe and would be staying for maybe 5 months, that I had called previously and was told that I could not be helped but that a friend of the family which was in my same circumstance, had his phone unlocked, so I was calling back because of this, because I had been with att for about 10 yrs and I needed to be able to use my phone, blah blah blah.... well the lady rep told me that my phone was not eligible to be unlocked (after i provided my imei), that I had not met the requirements for this, which were to have the phone for at least 1 year, etc.... I told her that the phone was purchased outright from my children who knew how much I hated the phone THAT WAS TIED TO MY CONTRACT, well, the rep started to get nasty and i did as well, I told her to transfer me to a superior which she did, then, I got a male rep on the phone who was very nice and basically explained to me in depth what this other lady said, I then said that I did not understand how other people that have not been with att for so long have been able to get the unlock code when traveling abroad, and I am not being helped, etc etc.... he then said that because there is an exclusivity agreement and the phone is tied to a contract that I could not have it unlocked, then I explained that the phone that I purchased on the contract was my older one, that the lumia was given to me by my children and that they paid around 500 dlls for it, that to please escalate this to the unlock team who sent my 'friend' an email unlocking his device, then the rep said that he was going to open a case to see if they could help me since i purchased the phone 'outright'!!
......SO, now I just have to wait!! hopefully it works out!!!!
SORRY FOR THE LONG POST BUT ALL OF THIS POINTS TO:
1) Find a friend or family member that is in good standing with att and ask them if you can impersonate them
2) KEEP CALLING THEM!!! You'll get there in the end..... It only took me 4 phone calls!
I will let you know if it works!!! :fingers-crossed:
p.s I just could not wait until May 9th, blame it on my ADHD!!!!!
if i purchased the phone on eBay from 3rd party can I still ask At&T to unlock the phone starting May 1st? or only the original acquirer can have it unlocked
Talk to the seller and ask if he has activated the phone on at&t network also if he is a customer or not. If everything is positive then at&t may entertain your request else, wait till 2 nd week of may. Hopefully third party unlock code providers will start unlocking. But also be aware that as soon as these services are available the prices on eBay and other such sites will shoot up.

Can you provide screenshots to prove your Lumia 920 is, in fact, unlocked? I've seen a handful of posts purporting this to be doable and have tried for countless hours myself with no luck, even when certain 'helpful staff' attempt to get a code for my phone, they come back all saying the same thing - even if they wanted to, they couldn't get one until May 9th because the codes haven't even been generated and handed over by Nokia yet due to the exclusivity agreement.

That simply means someone up in the chain spotted the error and denied your request. It happens all the time. But once in a while, a request goes through and unlock code obtained. Nothing wrong with that. It's just your luck.
I've done that successfully once.
Yeah... There are three other people I know with the AT&T Lumia 920..
And they have all gotten theirs unlocked by AT&T and we're not even in the US, never had an account with AT&T or anything..
I'm the only one who hasn't had any luck...
So I know it's possible.. I've seen their phone and they are all using them on the local network.. it's very upsetting that I haven't gotten through..

If it doesn't work with the stock ROM and you've already adjusted the APN settings using the Access Point app then you'll have to flash a different ROM.

Cellunlock.net says that it will be unlocking the 920s in 2-4 days.
none of the posts in this forum are related to unlocking the phone - it is just a bunch of paid links for a "maybe" working unlock service
where are the applications to do the actual unlocking - why no one is giving proper unlocking tips ?
Please post here only if it is actually working unlock software or guide - NONE OF THE PAID CRAP PLEASE!

Read the other threads. The only way to get an unlock code for an AT&T Lumia 920 is if you are an AT&T customer and push the customer support really hard. There might be some other requirements such as being on a business account too. I am on a business account with AT&T and was able to get a 920 unlocked after spending an hour with the customer support.
Any site claiming to be able to unlock an AT&T Lumia 920 is a scam, plain and simple. Third parties MAY be able to after May 9th.
not a AT&T customer - T-Mobile UK
problem is that here on this site was always the place you can find the tools to free you phone but for Nokia Lumia 920 there no useful posts for SIM unlock.

There is no problem, there just is not any unlock codes for the Lumia right now. Unless you are an ATT customer and no longer under contract you will not be able to unlock your phone. Your best bet is to get a Rogers version which is already unlocked as stock.
As you said all the sites for the 920 are scams and those claiming they have done it are working for or being paid by those same sites.

I believe the point here has nothing to do with carriers, but software plug in to generate code from phone directly.

Nothing exists yet. Only carriers / Nokia has the codes at this point.
flash new firmware
So
Just to get things clear
say I have a locked Lumia 920 (EE carrier UK)
if I will flash a new firmware with NaviFirm+ 1.7 and Nokia Care suite
Like RM-821 GLOBAL WHITE SWAP (059Q5C7)
wouldn't it unlock the sim lock?

Firmware has no affect on the SIM. The SIM controls what carrier you connect to as it is the SIM that you actually are paying for in your contract. So in answer to your question, you can flash till your heart goes poof, it will make no difference. The phone will still be locked to what ever carrier the SIM was programmed for.
yes - flashing it not going to remove the SIM lock -already try few times
I wonder how many of you have heard of JTAG.
Too bad most people dont seem to know how to use it (or can afford that kind of equipment).
I would try to find a "unlocker" who you can actually talk too (face to face). I personally would use an online unlocker too BUT, it just seems weird having asian people try to convinve you they are american citizens, selling %100 authentic unlock codes. I also see bad reviews.
My Advice:
Look for some guy (or girl) who works at a phone carrier station store (one that sells multiple brands of phones). Perhaps they can JTAG Unlock or Factory Unlock your phone.
OR
Go to your phone carrier (not the one locked to the phone) In person, and explain how you have this locked phone but would LOVE to use it on their service. If they refuse, just keep asking "why not?". Try to justify your use on their service (meaning, tell them that they are supposed to be obligated to unlock).
OR
If you are really bent on getting a carrier unlock, go to the locked carrier and then tell them you accidentally purchased the phone second hand, thinking it would work with your network. If they refuse to unlock (under any terms or licence) then ask for a refund. If they refuse, then get mad. They just ripped you off.
OR
Contact customer support of the manufacter of the phone. Explain that both your, and the phone's locked carrier refuse to unlock, and you feel that their brand (the phone's) is really dissapointing to you. Most companies used to give free stuff to sad or rageing customers for free - perhaps you can get an unlock.
In the end: The truth will set you free. Unlocking should be free, but as time goes on, codes become more complex.
Good luck getting a free unlock. Im not saying its impossible, but it is all about time, money, branding, and customer satisfaction. And believe it or not, that all costs money. They (the locked carrier) lose money everytime someone hacks, exploits, or JTAGs their devices, which is why they usually come priced by duration of service or fixed fees.
Hope this helps. My texting hands are tired!

I heard from several T-Mobile HTC owners that they tried to unlock it from some websites but after paying $25 they found out that those sites don't have the unlock code for the T-Mobile version of HTC.
I can't unlock it by calling T-Mobile as I'm on prepaid and I only use T-Mobile about 15 days a year when travelling through the states so I'm looking for a site that somebody has had success unlocking T-Mobile HTC One.
If you were able to get it sim unlocked, please, list the site and the cost.
I asked for the sim unlock yesterday at tmobile, they replied today.
HTC denied it because we have to wait 40 days of use first.. or pay your bill, I will call them back.
edit: its not HTC its Tmobile that denied it, they want users to use the phone for 40 days,
edit: im calling them back right now, cause I did pay it in full. they are going to put another request to HTC.

I've been T-Mobile's PrePaid customer since 2011. Bought HTC One on launch day, called them that first weekend, and my phone was unlocked within 24hrs, on a Weekend!!!
I did buy it at full price.
That said, my gf's iPhone 5 they won't unlock for 40days even though it's paid in full... weird.

I bought the phone off craigslist so I don't have a receipt that I paid full price, so online unlocking sites is my only way.
has anyone been successful unlocking it form one of those sites and how much was it?

I wouldn't know if the seller had it paid in full and even if I know I can't ask T-Mobile to unlock it as I don't have a receipt. I'm in Canada and the phones price from T-mobile in US on a plan is $579+tax but I'm not on a plan, I'm on pre-paid, if you are on pre-paid, you can't buy the phone online or by calling T-mobile, if you find a store that carries them then they will tell you the full price for pre-paid customers is $650+tax but some pre-paid customers said that when they run it through the price comes out at $610+tax for pre-paid plans. When I talked to a TMO store on a couple of occasions they all said both times that I would need to pay $650+tax, not $610. Either way it's quite more than $570 that I paid on craigslist for a new phone even if I have to pay $25 to get it unlocked online.
That's not my point where I bought it from. My question for this thread was: Has anyone been able to successfully sim unlock it from those online sites? If yes, what site was it and what was the price
okay peeps... check it out, I understand why some had there unlock codes given to them..
find someone that has a T-Mobile acct, prepaid or contract, it doesn't matter, I have received my unlock codes from T-Mobile with prepaid also..
I remembered they did that to me along time ago. the reason they said I can have it at the end of the month, it will be 40 days of service on May 28.
so if you have a friend that u know who has been with T-Mobile for over 40 or more days of service in good standing, and they also have to be using the phone for at least 5 days with there sim card on the phone, they will release the unlock code.
they can tell if they have been using the phone with the existing sim. u can unlock 1 phone every 90 days.

they can tell if they have been using the phone with the existing sim. u can unlock 1 phone every 90 days.

Hi there,
I tried unlocking my phone from htconlineunlock.com . It did generate a code for me. But when I put that into my phone it says incorrect pin.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Do not try to unlock using cellunlocker.net, at least until confirmed working. I checked my IMEI and chose US T-Mobile for my operator and they confirmed it as unlock code available. I paid $25 but didn't receive a code. 12 hours later I got a refund with a message that the phone is too new asking to check again in a couple of weeks once they update their database.

Try it several times, I heard that for some it may take as many as 6 attempts and then it finally takes the code. If not, ask them for refund. I didn't get a code from cellunlocker.net and even didn't have a chance to ask for refund, they just did it once they found out they couldn't get the code for me.

I guess then you can request a refund from them.
Hopefully we'll have someone successfully unlock it from one of those sites and will have a report here as to what site it was. I'm eagerly waiting to get it unlocked. I already cut my sim card to micro size and am currently using it in my old HTC Amaze with the leftover plastic that I use as an adapter for the smaller sim.

Im just doubtful about one thing. I bought the phone from the US. But im Home (india) for the summer and was trying to use the indian sim to unlock it. Can that be the problem? Like do I need an at&t or some other US carrier sim to unlock it?
I am in the same boat. Bought an HTC one from a US owner eyeing on the fact that it has 1700Mhz support so I can run it on my Wind Mobile network. I need a code now it's impossible for me to use the T-mobile service for 60 days when I'm physically not there.

That's exactly my story. I do have a prepaid account on T-Mobile (their $3/per day plan) but I only use it about ten days a year and I think they ask to use it actively like every day for 60 days for pre paid accounts in order to unlock, but even if I do, I still won't be able to do that as I don't have a receipt.
I guess we just have to be patient and wait till one of those unlocking sites gets T-Mobile codes on their database
Im in the same boat too.
Bought this phone in the US and was told by the rep that customer service would unlock it. Well ive tried 3 different times and they keep refusing. Also ive tried about 10 different online unlock services, all have failed. I really dont wanna have to sell this phone back into the US because it cost me over $800 after import duty and i'd get nowhere near that. And of all the friends that i have in the US, none of them have service with t-mo or know anyone who does. Is t-mo really that ****ty?
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, please share.
I tried www.myhtcunlock.com last night. Paid $35. In the morning I received a refund from them with a message that the phone is too new asking to try again in a couple of weeks.
If anyone is successful in unlocking it from a site, let us know what site it was.
I've used htcsimunlock.com a few times. It usually comes out to $15-20, but they have not disappointed me yet.
hi
I wasn't aware of all the recent US laws re: unlocking and exporting, so have been stuck with a brand new AT+T Lumia 920 from ebay that I can't seem to get unlocked, from any number of 3rd party unlockers.
I've also been through the AT+T International Helpdesk a few times now, and despite being exceedingly helpful, the reps there are now unable to unlock the device or even raise an unlock support request unless they have an existing or previous AT+T number to go on. As I live in the Caribbean, I don't have any numbers I can use, and have never been a customer.
So, if you're an AT+T current customer, have been on contract over 6 months, and don't mind using one of your 5 per year unlocks, I will pay you $25 via paypal (average cost of a 3rd party unlock) if you can get my phone unlocked for me
offer is only to established forum members (6 months and 10 posts +).
Please message me, and I'll supply IMEI details needed and what you need to do with AT+T to unlock it.
Many thanks for any help!

I am in the same boat my friend i am also try to do the same, but still have not found any one generous enough to help me out.
hi all,
just to confirm that this will not effect your AT+T account in any way.
i have a documented call log from AT+T reps saying that they simply need a AT+T number to assign the unlock request to!
If you like, simply supply me your cell number, and i will speak to the reps - as far as they are concerned, you bought and sold the Lumia on via ebay without ever using the phone on AT+T (basically the truth anyway), but I can then base the unlock request on this valid situation and existing customer cell number.
thanks

Hi Dom,
Why don't you ask the seller to help you with your Unlock request.
I got my Unlock code this way and my ebay seller was very helpful.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
thanks for the suggestion but i already tried this - unfortunately he wasn't an AT+T customer himself - he had bought the phone to use on one of their plans, then decided to switch to an iPhone with T-mobile at last minut so just flipped the phone without activating on AT+T, and he didn't have details for the guy he bought it from on craigslist.
Hopefully should be sorted now anyway - I found 2 friends over the weekend that still have active AT+T numbers, so going to give it a go with them this morning!

Let me know if he doesn't get a chance and I can try it out. Contact me on Google Hangouts if possible.
I'll do it
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app
Is there a waiting period after buying SM-R750A from an AT&T store outright with no service, nor an AT&T account? I go to their device unlock page, and it keeps telling me the IMEI is not valid, even though I checked it 20 times and the number matches the box, inside the about gear info and on the receipt? What gives?
I had that same problem when unlocking my Gear S. I went to the unlock site and it wouldn't take the IMEI. I am a customer of AT&T tho and got them on the chat and the person did it on their end. I waited 5 days and AT&T sent me the unlock code. I originally called, but the person didn't know what the device was. You're better off getting them on the chat if you can. I think there's a way non customers can reach them on chat thru their web site.
I purchased mine last night and emailed AT&T when I had the same error. They told me that I had to wait until after the 14 day buyer remorse period before they would unlock it.
Anyone know how to bypass this?
Bullcrap,
You paid full retail price, you get unlock code when you ask for it. It's their problem if you return it.
Call them, give IMEI, get unlocked, done.
If they refuse, ask for a manager. If they continue to refuse, call/email corporate and/or refute charges to your credit card.
As soon as they get a potential chargeback you'll get your code.
I purchased mine from best buy, with no service. Why would I need unlock code? And what is the website to check for one?
