How To Check If Its SIM Unlocked without SIM? - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Hello, im gonna trade my white vivid for a black one, but the guy needs it unlocked. When i bought mine, the guy said it was but i never made sure. I dont have any other sims to check and the trade is about to happen. Is there some sort of menu i can access to see if im unlocked?

Would like to know this too.
On a tangential note, is ATT accepting unlock requests for this phone yet?

I was told by a store rep that ATT will NOT give unlock code until the entire contract finish...... Hope that's not true.

Did anyone ever find or figure this out?

Unlock Codes

How do I check to see if my Vivid is unlocked?
I know I can use a non AT&T card (it's unlocked)but I want to use the keypad method where you enter a string of numbers and the network lock on off screen shows.
If your an att customer you can call care and request an unlock code. If not search online for an unlock site there are many.

This may or may not work. ive been on the phone with att 4 times in the past week for periods of up to 2 hours and i kept getting told that "the system shows that your device doesnt currently have a unlock code available. And, the system shows there is no date for when that unlock code will be available."
i thought this was att giving me the run around...over and over again... but apparently, after taking to three managers, and getting 2 call backs from dropped calls, theyre serious..
I am ofcourse talking about the sim unlock and not the bootloader unlock.
Carriers Put Delays on Unlock Codes
When I had my HD2 on T-Mobile, their stated policy was to require a minimum of 90 days on the account before they would provide an unlock code. After that time, I was able to get one from T-Mobile with no problem. AT&T probably has a similar policy. You might could get it early if you wanted to use the phone overseas with a local SIM.

thats the exact reason i gave them. I am going overseas and i need it unlocked. i have found that it is possible to get it sim unlocked though. just have to pay between 25-45 dollars at any site offering it. just be careful which site you want, as alot of them look.. less than dependable.
If someone successfully unlocked their Vivid from one of these website, please post the URL. Thank you.
cellunlocker.net I'm in the Army and i spoke to att and they told me the same thing about that they cant give me the unlock code or some BS. google'd and found this site and in like 20 minutes i got the email with the code. But you have to have a non att sim card to do it. thankfully my cousin has tmobile and i used his sim card.

I have the same question as OP. I am about to order a MotoX and will be traveling in 1 month.
Who is RipCo?
For Motorola are more services available,there is a cheaper service that does not work for all phones,but tere is a service for not found phones ,which even if is a bit more expensive ( around 12$) should unlcok your phone

Let me see if I understood correctly, you bought your Moto X from motorola's website (in the Design Yours section), customized your phone and at the end you choosed Carrier -> ATT -> No Contract (that's 499$) and you got it to work in your country?

Thanks a lot!
Just got myself an AT&T Moto X. I am in India right now and dont see any option to e-mail the guys at AT&T. For some reason they want me to register. Can anyone help me out with this? I need to SIM unlock the phone. How do I reach AT&T via e-mail?
This is the AT&T International (+1 916 843 4685) phone number.Can call that 1-2 times if you can and try to convince you to give you a code,but lately seems they do not give codes unless you have or had a contract with them and use the form from their website to request for it. If that is not working can just buy an unlock code should be around 12$

[Q] Amazon purchase Sprint Nexus 6 locked. Need help.

Hi i just received my sprint nexus 6 from amazon. I have tmobile and when i placed the tmobile sim, it prompted me for an unlock code. Is there a way I can get it Unlocked since I do not have sprint. Is there a 3rd party website that unlocks sprint phones. Any help would be appreciated or I will have to send the phone back. Thanks.

I think you can try purchasing an unlock code from http://www.swiftunlocks.com for $9.99.
It's been reported to work on AT&T sets so I think it should work on Sprint sets too if it's really sim-locked.
I tried it but they dont have Sprint as a carrier in the drop down menu. I also called amazon to try to return. Theyll charge me a restocking fee. FML.

Try contacting them to enquire about unlocking a Sprint Nexus 6? Also try other service providers that could unlock a carrier-locked phone?
Btw, which Amazon link did you buy it from?
I cant post links here since i am new member. Its from Amazon and the cost was $648 without contract. I had it shipped overnight since I got tired waiting for the GPS version. It says its temporarily out of stock at the moment.

Hmm.. reading Amazon's return policy and it says "All phone parts and accessories must be in new condition and returned in the original product packaging. We'll pay for return shipping on eligible returns authorized by Amazon Customer Service. No re-stocking fee is required on all eligible returns."
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&pop-up=1&nodeId=201077650
Did they seriously try to charge you a restocking fee?
Do post here if you manage to find a way to unlock your phone!
Yes since its a sprint phone. Sprint charges $35 dollars in restocking fee, If you break the seal and open it. I should have just refused delivery if I had known prior to this that this phone would be locked. Right now I am out $35 dollars +11 dollars for overnight shipping.

Why not just select AT&T as the carrier when you purchase the unlock code? $9.99 isn't too bad, and all devices are one SKU, so I would be comfortable in saying it should work.

I cant get past the sim unlock code required screen. The "GSM" part of this sprint phone is IMEI locked. I need to find someone with a sprint account so they can request a code from Sprint. Thats the only solution i can think of now. Did you also order the Sprint version of the nexus 6 from Amazon? When will yours will be arriving if you have?

Hmm this is really strange because there have been multiple reports here in XDA from people who claimed that they could insert their T-Mobile and AT&T sims, both of which I understand them to be GSM carriers, into a Nexus 6 bought from Sprint just fine.
Example of users reporting that their Sprint sets work fine with T-Mobile and AT&T sims:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/att-sprint-branded-phones-carrier-locked-t2955669
I wonder if there is a difference between those Nexus 6 bought directly from Sprint and those "Sprint Nexus 6" on Amazon.

It seems that both swiftunlocks and cellunlocker are unable to unlock Sprint Nexus 6. Apparently, they are only able to unlock GSM devices.
---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------
This is bad. I emailed Amazon and they confirmed the Sprint Nexus 6 listed on Amazon is indeed carrier-locked. Why would this be the case.....?!
No, I actually have one coming from O2 in the UK, which I hear might be SIM locked.
Maybe a dumb question but have you tried to set up your return through amazons website? You just click a few dragdown boxes and it's done. I've done this for many products and as long as I'm not at fault I'm never charged anything. In fact I did it yesterday with a z3. They even returned my shipping.
I contacted Amazon. They confirmed that the initial batches of Sprint Nexus 6 sold through Amazon were indeed unlocked. The subsequent batches are however locked to Sprint. This is so frustrating.

Bought a Used Nexus 6 AT&T Won't SIM Unlock

So I messed up and bought an AT&T Nexus 6 on Swappa. IMEI checked out okay and all looked good. Seller said he'd used it on Verizon and was a nice guy.
Decided a little later to try out T-Mobile service and it turns out it is still carrier locked to AT&T. They (AT&T) have told me several different stories, but the latest one is that the original owner has to call and request the unlock. Well the person I bought it from bought it used ... And he's been trying to, I presume, find the original owner to see about him getting it unlocked.
Anyway, I messed up and I have learned not to trust an IMEI alone. But does anyone have any suggestions? I tried two unlocking services and they each took a week and came back with unable to unlock and gave a refund. AT&T unlock site says they can't locate the IMEI.
Anyone been through this? When I insert a sim it requests a sim unlock code. With my Verizon sim, I can make and receive calls and texts if I dismiss the sim unlock prompt, but no data. I can't even find where to enter APN settings to try that out.
At my wits end.

i think you can just use a sim unlock website idk a trustworthy one though
I would tell the person you bought it from to take it back. If he refuses dispute it through PayPal and they will side with you, have him pay return shipping, and refund your money out of his PayPal account once the delivery is confirmed by the shipping service. I think you have 180 days to file a dispute through PayPal. PayPal is extremely biased for buyers, which works in your favor in this case.
Whether that guy knew or not isn't important. He sold you a phone without disclosing that it was sim locked. Not to mention if you're seeing the error on verizon then so was he (he scammed you). Either way that's his problem to figure out after you get your money back.
Also please leave this information in his feedback on swappa. Those of us who buy and sell every month or more need honest feedback to know who to avoid.

Yup. They were the second. They couldn't do it. So they refunded. The IMEI isn't blacklisted so I really don't know what's up.
And the fact that I can call and text with Verizon, but only data is blocked, is weird. The phone registers on Verizon's network and shows up in My Verizon under my account.

It has to be SIM locked.
T-Mobile SIM won't register on the network at all even though it's an active SIM. The T-Mobile SIM works in my other phones. Verizon SIM registers but no data available, and it still prompts me for a SIM unlock code even though I can make and receive calls and send and receive texts.
Honestly, if there's a work-around out there I'm down to find out. I can't even locate the APN settings on this thing ... Had to go in through a Nova Launcher widget.

Luckily you bought from Swappa. They should hook you up. Then buy new from Playstore for discounted price. If it was cheaper there is a reason. Or find a swappa seller with a good history.

The seller has a good history, and has been communicating with me. I just don't know if he really knew how not unlockable this phone is. AT&T did a number on it, first with the extra software and then with the aggressive carrier lock. I'm not used to carrier locked phones since I'm on Verizon. They don't do that.

You are correct. Swappa will work out fine with a cooperative seller. But if the seller proves to be uncooperative at any point, they have no means to help further. If one opens a dispute on PayPal, it can be cancelled at any time. In a case like this, I'd start with PayPal now.

I believe your phone is SIM unlocked. Before unlocking mine, if I inserted a VZW SIM, I got a popup with something like "unauthorized SIM. Enter unlock code to continue".
I don't follow. If it prompted you before you unlocked it it would have been SIM locked. SIM unlocked devices don't prompt you to enter a network or SIM unlock code.

Correct. I am saying that it appears that your N6 is unlocked.
Nope it appears that mine is SIM locked. Not unlocked because if it was I wouldn't be prompted to enter the code. And it would have data on any active SIM. I'm going to try a refund. If that doesn't work, maybe someone with AT&T will want one. For a great price. Ugh.

Sims lock is usually done by the carrier and it is unlocked when it is paid off.
So what can I do in that case?

Whatever carrier the phone was originally purchased on has a lock on it. If the phone has been paid off with that carrier you should be able to contact them to have it unlocked. If it hasn't been paid off with the original carrier then the original purchaser of the phone needs to have that done.
Most carriers will not unlock the phone unless it's been paid off.

Open a case with PayPal and eBay and get your money back. It's either a phone that hasn't been paid off yet, or a stolen phone.

If the device wasn't paid off then it's fraud and they will make good. There was / is a thread here about selling a device that wasn't paid off in full. Well this is what happens if you do sell or buy one in that state. Maybe you can call the carrier and ask if it's paid off. If it is they will unlock it for you.

Then you might have to call the carrier in your country to have the device provisioned for their network.

Didn't see that, sorry. Someone is not being truthful to you. You need to find out who that is.

I tried that, but ebay won't let me return it because of "as is " condition of the phone... What can i do? There's no way to unlock it and use it in my country? Dominican Republic.

Ebay has a 30 day money back guarantee to protect the buyer. I've used this a few times, and they always get me my money back! Unless your past the 30 days, then you can file a paypal claim.
I have the same issue. It's a Google issue from what I hear. I got my unlocked new pixel 4 right from Google. Put in my ATT sim and it said "sim isn't supported, contact xfinity". Hahaha..
so I contact them and they send me a new phone. Same thing. This is a very new issue and I finally found someone asked the same question on Google assistance and it was said it was a google issue and they are trying to fix it.
What a crock... I can't believe Google's own phones don't work as they should.
Rest assured, its most likely not a stolen phone, or unpaid. It's a Google problem.

Are you kidding? Ok, rereading I see what you are saying. But they must have given you a reason as to why your sim doesn't work. Where are you located?
I didn't say Google sent me a stolen phone. Re-read the post and the link. It appears to be a Google software issue.
Have you personally experienced the problem? I have, as have others in the link I posted and the OP.

Post edited above. This is not a Google problem, imo. Where did you buy the device and which version. Perhaps you bought a Verizon model like some of the posters in the thread you linked to? This is not a known issue so you folks are doing something wrong whether it's buying the wrong device or your carrier doesn't support the phone. But it's really up to you at this point to figure out where you have gone awry.
