Hi everyone,
I travel a lot outside of the US and will need to unlock this phone so it can be used in other networks with SIM cards other than ATT's .... so, has anyone used such an unlock code or knows of a trusty source where to get one from even if you have to pay ?
Thanks.

I called and as expected there is an exclusivity period for the phone and AT&T won't give out the unlock code yet until that period is over. However, since I paid full price without a contract, they ask me to fax in my receipt for proof of purchase and we will see from there.
rotted and search the code through "Galaxy S2 Sim unlock" app. Will Let ya all know if it works.

He paid retail for the phone. The unlock code he received was from AT&T because he had proof that he bought the phone at retail price.
so does that unlocker from the market work?

I would not expect it to work for any Galaxy S II variant released after mid-June.
Has not worked for the SC-02C or other regional releases afterwards.

Proof of purchase,
Nice might go this route and by the phone retail. Plan on doing that anyway.
Good to know they honor that.
Yeah. I sold my Captivate on eBay for $200 to offset the cost of the new phone. And Walmart's $520 off contract price is the best deal around. That leaves me $320 + tax for the new phone with NO contract extension.
Can be unlocked by AT&T, priceless

My process was a little more painful than yours. Yesterday I was on the phone with Customer Service for an hour, at the end of which they told me I needed to go into a corporate AT&T store with my proof of purchase (faxing was not an option), and they then would complete the request for the unlock code (I, too, travel frequently outside the US). So today I go into the store but unfortunately meet with the same resistance (i.e. "wait 6 months", "proprietary phone", "not our policy", etc.). Essentially it was almost an hour of:
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: let me speak to your supervisor, please
[ hold ...... ]
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: not acceptable
AT&T: not possible
me: well let me speak with someone who /can/ do it
[ hold ...... ]
AT&T (same person): Here's your unlock code, sir
Frustrating to say the least.
So, now I have the unlock code, but no instructions on how to enter the code into the phone. Would you, foxbat121, be so kind as to post the procedure so that I can get this thing unlocked? [ Thank you. ]

There are some wackey ways to enter unlock code. But I always keep a foreign SIM card around, even if it no longer works, just for this purpose (both enter unlock code and test if it works). So what I did was put in the foreign SIM card and power up the phone. It will ask you to put in the unlock code right away. See if you can find someone with T-Mobile phones to unlock and test your unlock code.

That thread only discusses how to get an unlock code from a third party/website charging and outrageous amount of money for something that should be free.
Personally I'd like to see the Dev's take on the unlocking rather than depending on a third party that I'd have to pay and get the rooting/unlocking procedure from them.

I called ATT and told them I travel a lot and need the phone unlocked. They told me I can get an Unlock code from them on August 22. The representative said he would give me right away, but when he typed my IMEI on the system that gives the unlock codes, a message showed that I could only get it by August 22.
At least thats something.
just called at&t to unlock for traveling over seas they said not until december.
That is true the only way you might be able to get one if you bought the device with out a discount meaning you paid full price.
By law they are forced to provide an unlock code for the phone

nope it isn't possible like that. but on the bright side. Once it is unlocked it is permanent so even if you flash an .SBF or anything it won't relock
What racecarbmw said, each code is dependent of imei so its device specific

The method used to unlock Atrix is called "remote unlocking" via IEME if you wanna google and read about it.

Atrix unlock available from ATT Aug 22nd 2011
I am moving to China and plan to use my Atrix there. I JUST got off the phone with ATT and they told me that they can give me my unlock code (because I am moving out of the country) BUT not until, on or after the 22nd of Aug 2011. Lucky for me that is right when I am going to China. So, if any of you "plan a trip out of the country" then you can get your unlock code from ATT for free.

lol i called att and they wouldnt give it to me, but seriously i only payed 3 dollars to a guy on ebay and had it unlocked first try. dont pay 20, the 3 dollar guys are just as good. just check their feedback first
Well that sucks that we cannot unlock this ourselves. I mean you can Unlock an iPhone without the need to call I even unlocked a Few HTC Android devices as well, and good point we can unlock the bootloader but can't unlock the code... Maybe just not enough interest shrug.
Not trying to plug anyone or anything but I just unlocked my "Bell Canada" Atrix.
I used cellunlock.net The code cost 40$ but I used the promo code for 50% "android50" or something (Google it) also they were having a 50% off sale so I got it for only 10$.
The good:
It worked!
They did not over charge me (10$ USD)
The bad:
It took them almost a week to get back to me with the code, I thought they may have scammed me but they did finally email me with the code 6 days later.
They mailed me 2 codes ####### or ######## I used the first one but why 2 codes???
Hope it helps!!

HI, I just wanting to throw something out there...I was looking at some different sites about unlocking the galaxy note...and I was also checking the reviews for the sites too(can never be too careful).. and I ended up picking cellunlock.net and going with that one...the unlock was 39.99 but after using the promo code I searched in google (android50) it brought it to 19.99..well while I was waitng on the unlock email I stuck my sim card from tmobile usa in there and come to find out it was already unlocked...well I still got a unlock code in my email about 12 hours later but never tried it cuz there was no reason too...well since then I got a new note ( a white one).. and it was not already unlocked...believe I checked haha...but I checked reviews again and there were several saying that the never got a code..and several saying that the codes they sent were fake...but I really needed the note unlocked and at&T wasn't helping..so I went for it anyway...I got the unlock code in my email about 28 hours later and I tried it and it luckily worked!...now that was about 4 hours out of the time frame that they gave me...but it worked...so I just thought Idf let people know my experience...but try at your own risk! :laugh:
at&t has been giving out the unlock codes for free.
I dunno if the sale is still on, but I got my code from unlockthatphone.com for about $14.

You weren't kidding. Called and said I wanted to use the phone overseas and gave them the imei number and a minute later she had the unlock code for me. Nice!!
Same for me - I got the unlock code straightaway on a web chat with AT&T. The site says something about a limit on the number of unlocks one can obtain on an account, I think it was something like 5 per year.
I don't see why they would give you a hard time unless you're unlocking a bunch of phones on your account.
Same for me, I used the AT&T International Support web chat and they gave me the code right away. Too bad you need a non-AT&T SIM to actually use it.

That is the point of unlocking a phone -- to use another carrier's sim card. Otherwise, why unlock?

For me? Higher resale value. All other phones I've unlocked didn't require a SIM at all to do this.

Ohh. Good answer. I've never sold my old phones (23 and counting. . .)
Been following this story for a while about how it seems like no online unlock service has been able to unlock the att lumia 920. I have also seen that multiple people it seems were given codes from at&t that would not work. Well last week I submitted an unlock request for my lumia 920 through at&t over the phone and today I received an email that had the 20 digit code. So I put an old T-Mobile sim in the phone, turned it on, entered the code, and it said pin accepted! This confirms that at&t is at least able to issue correct unlock codes but it doesn't explain why some work and some don't. (As far as I can find I'm the first one to actually get a working code)
For everyone who is still waiting for an unlock it is worth a shot to give them a call. If they say they won't unlock it due to the exclusivity deal, ask for a supervisor who can put the unlock request through.

I'd assume you won't have much luck if you aren't a current att customer. The supervisor who put in the unlock request told me that they can submit an unlock request for any phone except the iPhone which has to be out of contract to be unlocked. My lumia is under contract but I've also been with att for at least 7 years.
1 hour of battling. 1 agent escalated to sup, no result. Another agent and another escalation, no results for me.

Same fore me - no real battling though and "only" 30 mins on the phone for nothing. Agent also spoke with supervisor. June was what they told me (so much for "it's the same for all Lumia 920s, not just your device..."). And, of course, they even don't have the codes yet.
Idk why they won't budge for you guys, the only thing I can say is keep trying until you get an agent who will submit the unlock request for it.

Will do. I tried to gently push him to still submit a request, even though it fails, so that I had something in return (if it is just the negative reply from the unlock team) to follow up with. However, he would not submit the request because it would be the same result as he is telling me - no code available for my IMEI yet.
I'm currently very busy at work so I can't spend 30-60mins each day chatting with AT&T. Will try in a week or two.
BTW, I guess you being a long-time AT&T customer could have also been influential. I am a 2-day customer because I cancelled service again due to bad voice quality at my work location. However, paying the ETF, I fulfilled my contractual obligations so I'm only asking AT&T to fulfill theirs (3.1 of the Wireless Customer Agreement)...

Yeah my lumia is under contract but yes I have also been a customer for at least 7 years. The problem is there is no standardization with these unlock requests so it seems like it's just the luck of the draw of who you talk to... I'd be really surprised if you got a denial email, it seems like the difficult part is just getting the agent to submit the unlock request...

It's the standard exclusive device wait for 6 months after release rule on AT&T for contract phones. Dunno about other carriers.
So whenever you bought it, plus 6 months, you can sim unlock it.

Apparently there is no way at all to unlock currently except thru ATT. I guess that is harder than I expected b/c it seems no one in this thread has been able to get an unlock code. It just depends on the CSR you get on the phone, I got them to unlock it on my first call to them so I guess I just got very lucky.
guys, I'm from Ukraine
please tell me. Can I write to at & t email?
What information do I need to write that would have been any result ..?
and in advance sorry for my spelling mistakes))
I called them back in Dec 2012 and got the unlock code from at&t; however the code only 11 digit and will not work.
Does anyone know or could confirm how digit the code should be?
Also, does it have to be a T-Mobile chip or any GSM chip will work?

Unfortunately, there seem to be very few people who managed to get an unlock code from AT&T, and most of them were long-term AT&T customers. If you are not a customer, neither phone nor e-mail support is likely to get you anything meaningful. We'll just have to wait and hope that codes will leak out to 3rd parties earlier than next May.

for those who tried the 20 digit code for the lumia 920. try this. i had that problem with my lumia 900 from at&t i got the code and entered it and it would not accept the code. i had to use all ten tries and then it asked me to enter MY PUK code. i then entered the exact same unlock code as the PUK code and it unlocked the nokia lumia 900. my theory was that i never activated the phone with an at&t sim card i just bough it and popped in my foreign sim. i tried it with multiple unactivated nokia lumia 900s from at&t and it work. so if you bought a lumia 920 but didn't activate it with an at&t sim card this may be the reason the unlock code didn't work, you can either activate the phone with an at&t sim or try this process that i've used.

Tried to get it from at&t. Didn't work. The rep was close to unlocking it for me though. Told me it was sim unlockable. Told me to try back later.

You won't find a cheaper one. Not at the moment though, this is because the phone just got released and very few have access to db like us
I received my code but where do I enter it?
I am trying to use a Straight Talk (AT&T) sim card. With the stock AT&T apn settings the phone won't connect to data. Voice calls work fine.
As a result I decided to buy a sim code. How do I apply the sim code? My phone does not request that I enter it. My hunch is that ST with AT&T is too close for it to trigger the unlock code request entry. Thank you.

Change the APN settings to those of Straight Talk... You might be running off AT&T, but your data is registered with Straight talk. That or you live in an LTE area and AT&T slaps you cuz your not directly with them.
NO LTE FIR YOU S.T

I tried adding/changing the apn first. It is not editable and has a lock next to it. My new apns I entered are not selectable. I can't find anywhere in there to enter the unlock code.
I tried using you and you couldn't get me the code for at&t

Codes for few HTC One phones are not yet available, we will let you know as soon as we have them.
At&t unlock policy
According to this report:
AT&T issues statement on unlocking policy
At&t will unlock it if you are at least sixty days into your account:
“I want to be completely clear that AT&T’s policy is to unlock our customers’ devices if they’ve met the terms of their service agreements and we have the unlock code. It’s a straightforward policy, and we aim to make the unlocking process as easy as possible.”

“As we make clear on our website, if we have the unlock code or can reasonably get it from the manufacturer, AT&T currently will unlock a device for any customer whose account has been active for at least sixty days; whose account is in good standing and has no unpaid balance; and who has fulfilled his or her service agreement commitment. If the conditions are met we will unlock up to five devices per account per year. We will not unlock devices that have been reported lost or stolen.”

Straight Talk SIM on ATT versus Unlocked HTC One
I had no issues setting up the Straight Talk SIM to work on my ATT phone by setting the appropriate APN settings. Both data and ATT 4g service work fine. So what is the advantage of buying an unlocked SIM phone from HTC aside from saving a few dollars? Trying to figure out if there is any point in returning the AT purchased phone for an HTC unlocked ONE

Straight talk doesn't need your att branded phone to be sim unlocked. Same network. Try it on tmobile, than you'll understand why sim unlock is necessary for many, especially when traveling.
I bought mine tonight off-contract. The rep said that after 90 days I could fill out a form and they'll see that I paid cash and most likely carrier unlock it. I only use Straight Talk tho so the phone really doesn't need to be unlocked. I did however unlock and iPhone 5 I had using carrierunlock.net and it worked great. Pretty expensive but it did work. They will sometimes cut the price in half or completely refund you if you make a YouTube video showing how the unlock worked and verify the video with them.
