If you got your Phone through O2 in the UK, just call them, they don't usually charge for unlocking. Tell them you need to put a work sim in it and it a different provider.

+1 for htcimeiunlock.com
On the site they let you put in your info including carrier, model, and IMEI. They then tell you if they have the unlock code, and if so and how much it costs and how long it will take.
In my case it said 15 minutes and $25. I paid with paypal and about 15 minutes later the unlock code arrived in email. The code worked and my phone is now unlocked.
I will use them in the future.

Worked for me
used the link above and it just worked (no issues, Just be sure you provide the correct IMEI or you may have a problem) use IMEI from the device not your box (I have seen issues where they do not always match).
Cheers

I used the site above but it says it can't find a code when I input my IMEI.
Help please!!!

Will that website provide an unlock code for ANY hd7 that's locked to tmobile? because i'm thinking of getting one to canada and i wont be able to return it so i have to make sure that it can be unlocked!!

I bought mine from a nice guy through Kijiji in Toronto... HTC HD7 (T-Mobile branded) and he even had unlock code. If you post an ad there, I'm sure he'll respond. Make sure you put it in the "want to buy" section and make sure the subject line has HTC HD7 Unlock Code Wanted. It's the least I can do to send you to him as he was very fast and effecient and affordable.

That website didn't work for me. Trying cellunlock.net now, they said they couldn't find a unlock for my imei and they have to contact HTC. Going to take a few days.

I'll give that a try if cellunlock fails. How much was it and did he e-mail the code?

I used www.cellunlocker.net on both my HD7's. codes arrived in about 25-30 mins and only cost 19.99
-oh both are the tmobile branded, tested with other sim cards, and works.

The kijiji dude was $20 but I was also buying the phone from him. He gave me the code on paper. Try the other suggested website first.

I unlocked my HD7 with htcimeiunlock. The phone was locked to o2 Uk. They emailed me the code within 5 minutes!

are y'all that are having problems sure you are entering your imei code right?

same here but on T-Mobile and the code was sent within 2 minutes

O2 did the job in less than a day... FOR FREE...
I have bought my HD7 on PAYG - but I have a Simplicity 10 contract - as someone had suggested earlier - I have used that phone number when requesting the unlock code and in less than 24 hours they sent me the unlock code by email.

Yup, I doubled, tripled, and quadrupled checked.

still no joy here
I just bought a t-mobile branded HD7 from a store in California and have failed on both sites to get an unlock code. Keeps telling me the IMEI code is not recognized. This is a little worrying as I plan to be going back to the UK soon. Also frustrating as others on t mobile seem to have been having success.

Might be able to get it here:

This is where i got mine, took about 3 hours to get the code from HTC (used HTC- Worldwide (New Codes))

maybe tmous is trying to keep the phone locked down. If you got in on contract I don't think tmous will give it to you till you have had the phone 60 days. You could call them and tell them you are going overseas on business so you need the sim unlocked for overseas use. That is what I did with my hd2 before I sold it.

Guess I'm the only one with an un-unlockable HD7 in the world. I tried 3 different legit unlock companies and all failed. I called HTC and they said the carrier locks it. I called T-Mobile and spent 2 hours on the phone discussing everything from having to get a temporary pay-as-you-go plan to having to wait 40 days for an unlock code. Now they say if I fax them the receipt they could have it the next day at best.
This would be great except like some of you I bought mine on Kijiji and I doubt I can get a receipt from the seller.
Anyone want to buy my un-unlockable HD7?

[Q] AT&T Carrier Unlock Process

I'm going to be travelling to Thailand from the US on Saturday and would like to know if anyone has been successful with calling AT&T and having them give you the carrier unlock code for the Vivid? I'm a long time AT&T wireless customer (since Cingular e.g. 2002ish) and not sure if that helps also?
I just want to be able to have access to data while in Thailand and won't be making any calls so was thinking I could just get a local prepaid sim card to get data the week I'm there. Make sense or is there something else I should do?
All thoughts are welcome!

You can get your Unlock code off of your ATT account. Login to ATT, mouse over "My ATT", then mouse over "Wiress", then click phone/device. The next page it pulls up will be info for your device. You will see a "Unblock Sim" link, click it and it will give you your unlock code and instructions.

Thanks for the info. But where do you enter the puk code. I type it in the dialer and it just dials a number.
* nevermind google does wonders. I need another company's sim to bring up the option.

That wont allow you to use a different carrier's sim in your Vivid. Its just to unblock your sim if its been locked. To unlock your phone to use on a different carrier you either have to call AT&T or pay to have it done online.

I need the phone unlocked, not the sim card. I want to use a carrier in Thailand other than AT&T. I guess I'll suck it up and give AT&T a call to see if they're giving unlock codes for the Vivid yet.

Please post your results from the call. I would like to know if you have any success and what needs to be done.

As jayv81 found out through google, you need another company's sim in order to use the unlock code from ATT. Why is that because your phone is sim locked. Whatever sim you get in Thailand will not work until you go through the unlock process. This process should allow your phone to work in Thailand, verify with ATT though. I had an old Nokia 6230 from Cingular days that I used in Turkey with multiple carriers after I unlocked it using this process.

I called AT&T and they won't provide an unlock code because the phone is still "exclusive" to them. Think I may try one of the websites out there to see if they can generate an unlock code for me. Probably worth $5 or so to give it a shot.

This is probably the most reliable place to unlock it but its a bit more expensive. I went to the site and its on special for about $17 right now.

After a bit of digging around I have a few questions/suggestions -
1 - Did you buy the phone off contract, or with a new line or upgrade discount? If you bought the phone off contract at full price, you have some more pull.
2 - I saw a post on another forum where someone had this issue with previous devices, and the front line rep he spoke with assured him this couldn't be done, but then he asked to speak with Int'l Support, and they were able to do it for him in minutes
3 - Also suggested was to speak with a supervisor and request that a case be opened. Once a case is open with the Case Team, they're more likely to provide you with the unlock code
This is not from personal experience, just some suggestions I've found. As always in these situations, it's best to stay calm and collected, while being assertive at the same time. Screaming and yelling at helpless reps get us nowhere..

Just use ebay 5$ quick and essey most use swiftunlocks and are reliable

I just used this $4.00 service and it literally took 9 minutes for the order to be processed and the unlock code to be sent to me.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNLOCK-CODE-For-ATT-HTC-Vivid-Not-Found-IMEI-starting-35629804-/320850117920
They have an online process which is fully automated so it makes this a lot faster.
Oh ya, and the code worked fine with my AT&T VIVID. I have a German SIM card for my business travels and once I put it in my phone it asked for the unlock code. I punched it in and VOILA, it gave me a positive response and said it needed to reboot to complete the process. After the reboot the German SIM card was active in the phone.

Usually, you can unlock your phone six months after you bought your phone.
But I'm not very sure for them can let you go earlier or not. or do they have a temper code for you to unlock your phone.
you can try it, but if you have already bought it for six months, you can unlock it without any questions.

Atix HD not able to sim unlock. (Imei rejected)

Hello there.
I bought a Motorola Atrix HD with the purpose of using it in Tmobile with Tzones. The thing is that ive been trying to buy the unlock code and no luck so far. Its been 10 unlock services sellers and every one of them tell me that my Imei have been rejected or not working ? they refund the money and thats it, nobody tell me nothing.....
Anything of this had happen to anyone here ?
That mean is another scrap phone i bought ?
thx

Sorry didn't have this issue. The unlock code took a bit longer to get on this phone than any other, but they sent it to me within 7 days.
I used unlockunit

Sim Network Unlock
My Atrix HD doesn't seem to want to read my sim card. It SHOULD ask me to input a sim network unlock code, but it doesn't. Is there a way to force that prompt? I ask this as I wait for a unlock code from an unlocker site.

the only way i know is turning off your phone, insert the other provider sim (it needs to be already activated/working) then turn it on and you will see the prompt

Sometimes phones sold are stolen and reported then there imei numbers are bad or frozen the original owner needs to reclaim it if that's the case in order for the imei to be unlocked

You don't need to pay. If you are lff-contract, then you can call AT&T and they will give you an unlock code, free of charge. I have done it on multiple phones.

[Q] Is your atrix unlocked? if so how did you do it?

I want to unlock my atrix hd (at&t) to a different carrier,is yours unlocked? if so how did you do it? unlock code? some other method without using unlock code? how much did you buy the unlock code for? o;

You have to buy a code as there is no way to unlock the AHD for free. In order to enter the code, you need to be on a pure stock or close-to-pure stock rom in order to enter the unlock code.
If you're an AT&T customer, they may give you the code for free.

Ok thank you, i will probably buy an unlock code, and use stock rom,does it stay unlocked forever?

Just google your carrier and request unlock. I know At&t has an online request form to unlock the carrier . As long as you meet the requirements there is no charge for this service. Thirty minutes after submitting the request At&t sent me the unlock code. T-mobile I'd imagine would do the same.
As for your other question, I am curious too. I just reverted my phone back to stock At&t. Got to find someone with a non At&t SIM to see if my phone is still carrier unlocked. I say it is.

The phone will be unlocked forever. I have never seen or read a post where a phone became carrier locked after being unlocked by entering a code.
If you purchased a used phone, put in a non-ATT sim after reverting to a stock rom to make sure you receive a prompt to enter your network unlock code. If you are on stock and don't the prompt, the phone maybe be hard locked to ATT and there is very little an end user can do to unlock the phone.

bought it on ebay... better pay with then than some random website with your CC info.

I haven't used this service but I've seen it referenced several times here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...3&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123#ht_668wt_1121
What's interesting is that the MB886 isn't listed as one of the phones, yet people say it has worked.

I will try that, feel much safer then random website that I don't know if they are safe.

AT&T says it can't carrier unlock my GS5 Active bought on launch day

I got 2 GS5 that I paid full retail price for off contract and put on Straight Talk for AT&T and I i tried to request them to be unlocked via AT&T unlock Web page and several times it would error and say that the IMEI on both S5 Active's are not recognize. So I call AT&T support and apparently if you buy their phones out right and don't put them on Official AT&T Network then they can not unlock them..
This is total b/s.. Anyone else experience this same issue??

Not only is it total BS, it's also probably now illegal. You may want to try calling them again and if they still refuse to unlock a device that is fully paid for, threaten to file a complaint with the FCC.

Here link to read about.
https://gigaom.com/2015/02/11/phone-tablet-unlocking-rules-ctia-verizon-tmobile-sprint-att/

Its FTC I believe. Or both even.. FTC covers business practices.

Yeah i called back and same thing they claim that they can't unlock them bc they was never on their network. FML. They told me to contact Straight Talk for the unlock code. That's totally b/s I told them how can they not unlock my 2 GS5's when it's their phone's. They still say that they can't bc neither device was never activated on their network. And threatened them to file a claim didn't do nothing

in order for the device to be SIM unlocked it MUST be activated on the carriers network, ATT rep was totally correct in telling you to contact straight talk to get the unlock codes. your other option is to have the devices activated with an ATT SIM and then get the unlock code. or you can go online and pay for the SIM unlock code I believe it costs around 30-40 dollars.

thanks for your advice, but maybe I'm just missing something I can't see how they can't send me the unlock code for a device that they Sale.. But it is what it is. Lesson learned.
My dad has Official AT&T Network service take his Sim and put it n my GS5 get everything working APN and then retry AT&T unlock Web page again. Or would I have to rock his Sim for like 30 days?
Straight Talk I don't understand how they can send me the unlock code for a device that's not theirs. Bc I'm on the BYOP.
But either way I'll try contacting Straight Talk even though I'm probably going to want time there..
Would we have to go to AT&T store and transfer this device to his line/contract ?
Or I jus throw his Sim in and set apns?
Again thanks for yalls help
