Hello,
I live in Brazil, and on my last trip to the US i got a AT&T galaxy tab. I allready tried to unlock it on every handset store on my city. I even called the brazilian samsung, they told me to get in touch with the US samsung... did that. They passed the ball to AT&T, said that they´re the only one that could give me the unlock code. But it seens that it is impossible to get in touch with AT&T not being a customer. So I would apreciate if someone that is a AT&T customer, could help me unlocking my tab.
thanks in advance.
on android apps I have installed an unlocking small application, and it works with ma Panama sim card.
Of course you need to root it, see in this forum
the unlocking software
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock&feature=search_result
and you need before that to install buzy box

hope this help
I have a Nokia Lumia 520 with Vodafone Germany Sim Lock. Someone knows how to unlock it?- a tutorial. Or knows a Unlock Service?
Thx
If you're in a region that the locking carrier operates in, you may be able to just take the phone to them, explain the situation, and get it unlocked. If not, you could try asking Nokia directly. Beyond that, the unlock codes usually leak pretty quickly, and even the really sketchy-looking online unlock services have been surprisingly honest in my experience, but the 520 may be too new for them.
hey. have you managed to unlock it? or can anyone tell how to do it? the operators asks for more than 50 euros to unlock it...
SIM Unlock Lumia 520
same problem here guys,
a friend of my brought from US a Nokia Lumia 520, as my request. I´m in Brazil, by the way.
But It came SIM Unlocked from AT&T. The phone works well, the only thing that it does not is calls and sms. But the rest is fine.
I contact AT&T but they wont give me the PIN number to unlock. (tried several times)
So I need to find some way to do that. Either getting the PIN number, or even formatting the cell, to a "pure" WP8 (as should be an original unlocked device) - installing the original WP8.
About the warranty, I dont care. I´m Brazil and will never get acess trough, if i need it.
I really apreciate if someone can give me a help here.
Cheers!

Well guys,
I was able to format my Nokia Lumia 520, using the Nokia Care Suíte.
I downloaded the original firmware, with no Crapware from AT&T and using the Nokia Care Suite I completed the formatting.
The phone is working as it should be. Even the AT&T welcome screen has gone. But, it still does ask for the PIN Number when I put a SIM card from my brazilian carrier.
So, NO, formatting the Nokia Lumia 520 WON´T unlock your PIN Number, as I was hoping.
I need some way to get this code, if anyone could help me, I really apreciate.
Cheers

After 24 months since delivery you can get the code for free:

Just enter your IMEI and the wesite will tell you the exact date.
Before that date it costs you EUR 100,

You may tell them you going to go somewhere for business trip and wish to use the phone. Request them to unlock the phone for you. Try call to AT&T.
I got it works on my old device. Not sure still working for now.

Afraid not, there are some people working behind the scenes to get an unlock procedure sorted but as it stands WP 8.1 is pretty locked down.

Hello all,
Firstly appologies if I'm on the wrong thread I couldn't find one for the Ativ S neo.
I've just bought a Samsung Ativ S neo locked to AT&T, I thought I would only be a question of paying for the unlock code et voila. But the 2 unlocking company I have used so far could not get a code. I was wondering if someone here had similar experience and if they manage to sort it out.
Thanks in advance,
Cheerio
I thought the Neo was on Sprint only? In any case, have you tried talking to AT&T directly?
It was extremely recent.

AT&T release their Neo in November. I've tried to phone them but gave up aafter a while being sent from service to service, I try to send them an email but it came back saying that they don't deal with customer care by email anymore. I'll try to call them again, the 8hrs difference makes it a bit tricky ...

I have the exact same problem. I also tested with two different services and non of them was able to unlock my device both said that they couldn't find my imei in the database.
I've called them twice now and both time they told me I need to have an account with them to get te unlock code. If there is anyone with an AT&T account willing to help to would be appreciated, it's free for you I could reward you for your help...
PM me if willing.

I have ordered a at&t go sim from eBay hopping that when I register it I will be a costumer. Don't know if that will work but guess it's worth a shot.

Please let me know if you succeed. I had no luck with AT&T nor with unlocking website. I have a brand new phone that I can't use, very frustrating.

Of course, haven't got my sim yet. Expecting it next week.
Don't know if it's true but I read somewhere that you must activate the phone with an at&t sim before entering an unlock code or it will get permanently locked.

I've finally managed to get it unlocked through "theunlockingcompany.com" At first they didn't have the code and refunded me straight away asking me to check with them by email in 2-3 weeks, which I did and they now gave me the code. It cost me £18
No need for AT&T sim card.

I got screwed and bought a sim locked phone - the nokia lumia 1320 - after a cricket rep told me that it "didn't need to be sim unlocked to use with t-mobile."
Now I'm trying to find a method to SIM Unlock said phone, I don't care whether or not it'll cost me money - I just want to be able to use my Lumia 1320 (from Cricket) on t-mobile...
Anyone have a solution for this predicament? Any help would be greatly appreciated, cause I've digged for hours and I can't seem to find a legitimate solution.

I've checked quite a few places and websites and it doesn't look like Cricket locked phones can be unlocked by third parties. No one I spoke to can do it. Some even have said that Cricket does some server type locking (a la iPhone?) that requires you to put in an unlock code only after they have completed some magic on their end. Almost everyone referred me back to Cricket... they do have a good unlocking policy.... but only if you're a Cricket customer for while. FYI, I have also bought locked 1320s (that were listed as unlocked) and sellers offered me unlock codes. None worked but strangely, I could attempt more times than the stated 5 or 10 tries in the unlocking dialer/menu. Strange.
If you found something, please to enlighten us. Otherwise, it looks like you're out of luck

I think I got super lucky today. I logged into the chat support on Cricket's website just ask if my 1320 IMEI number was unlockable. The rep said provide me with the IMEI number and I will provide you with the unlock code. I thought for sure he wasn't serious but sure enough he gave me a code which I immediately input into my 1320 and voila!! I then put my T-Mobile sim card into it and just like that, it's like it was always supposed to be like that.
Very lucky I think! My suggestion, keep trying with the Cricket chat and maybe you'll get a rep that feels like being generous.

That's great to hear you got it done! Good to know! US carriers now have a new (forced...) policy that they must provide unlocking methods for phones that are paid off, so it looks like things really are quite different. There's even a TMO webpage that you just input your info and you get your unlock code (even if it's a cheap $39 pay as you go phone)... totally something we aren't used to coming from a carrier reigns supreme era :good:
Hi guys,
I have a Nokia Lumia 635 (Windows 8.1), locked on Orange Romania. Is there a way to unlock it for free so I can use it on other networks?
I read a lot of "unlocking methods", "unlocking calculators", "unlocking whatever", in fact fakes to get money from you and I don't want to pay, I want to do it myself.
Any advice will be highly appreciated, thanks!

I see we're in the same difficult situation my friend.
Namely, I have a Lumia 625 which is locked to Slovenian operator (I don't exactly know which one).
Nevertheless, I would also like to unlock it myself (with a little help from more experienced members) to save the money and get a good feeling like 'yeah man I did it myself'
So, if anyone can help, now is the rigt time to speak up
There is no other way, only your operator can do it.

Anyway, I can't go to operator because i'm in Serbia, and the phone is locked to Slovenian operator. So, what now, should I plan a trip to Slovenia or something?

for Slovenia (or any EU country) if you want operator unlock your device, you must proof of purchase to free unlock device...
for your case, best solution is pay for unlock code...

Yes, that would be jus' dandy, if only I haven't bought this phone for 30 euros, from some guy I barely knew. That is the main reason why I am trying to do this free of charge, 'cause the unlock code would cost me more then the freakin' phone.. -.-
So, both of your suggestions are out, if someone has some other idea, it will be appreciated
if you get any proof of purchase from previous owner, you can online ask operator for unlock code but seems you not get any proof....
thats all, no other idea, no free unlocks... buy unlock code or sold phone...

Thanks mate, but I believe there must be a way. I'm not that bad at programming, so I'll play around and try to come up with something. Someone's gonna crack it sooner or later, and I don't mind it being me
"NOTE: I found out that my carrier is actually not from Slovenia, rather from Austria. It was called Mobilkom, and now it is A1 Telekom Austria. If someone can get me unlocked with this carrier, it would be a kick-ass situation

Ok, I checked reset status and it is OFF. One less thing to worry about.
I know it's hard to stumble upon, but I heard of some people at underground forums (unlike this one), which can give you code if they're in the mood
And it sounds quite impossible to me, that no one on the whole internet hasn't come up with a solution for this problem. It would be quite devastating.
unlock for sure
