[Q] Which unlock service to use with AT&T Lumia? No account - Nokia Lumia 920

I have two Lumia 920's I bought that I want to use with T-Mobile in the US. Both are locked to AT&T US and I'm having a hard time trying to find a reputable company to unlock them. I tried one company and they just refunded my Paypal payment after 24hrs with no explanation. Anyone know of a service that can unlock them?

I used these Unlocks Express http://www.unlocksexpress.com/ back in May. Prices have gone up since I unlocked, it was $20 now it looks like they charge $25. It took them a couple of days to get me the unlock code but it worked.

I used cellunlocker.net for both my 820 and 920.
My code for the 820 came through instantly. The 920 code came about 24 hours later.

[Q] Unlocking an AT&T 920?

So, I have some relatives who lives in the US who can buy me a cyan 920 in December which is unavailable outside the US. The US pricing is also impressive since the no-contract version costs just $449 unlike the actual version that will come here (Indonesia) at about $649 and by about January or something. I also found this website which can unlock the 920 for $49.99. Should I take the plunge?
http://www.cellunlock.net/Unlock_AT_T_Nokia_Lumia_920_p/unlockattn920.htm
I would do more research on the internet to see if the website is actually legit. The places I get my unlock codes are from eBay from Top Sellers.
For the AT&T Lumia 900, they have unlock codes on eBay, but you have to complete the two year contract.
There might be a way to unlock the phone.
If your relatives can call AT&T confirming you can get the phone unlocked if they buy it outright (full retail price)
I think you should be able to get it unlocked if you pay full price.
Also I found this site who afirm they will unlock it too.
http://www.gsmunlockusa.com/u-s-a-at-t-nokia-lumia-610-710-800-820-900-920(1-3-days)-p-908.html
Hope someone can try and confirm if this one is a trusted site.
Unfortunately, AT&T is not being very helpful regarding unlocking the 920. Even when paid full-price. I don't intend on actually buying the phone with contract, but I just want to know if you guys have similar success/fail stories since this will be the first time for me to unlock phones. (also the reliability of the websites would be awesome)
PS. I also wonder where these websites get the unlock codes from, and what would happen if those codes would not work.
when the first generation of Windows Phones arrives, i bought a Samsung Focus V1.3 (which is my actual phone) and i get the unlock code from FastGSM. I ask them for the unlock code for Lumia 920 and i get this response:
Hello,
sorry but the unlocking service is not available yet for this phone model.
Kind regards,

the word "yet" makes me think that unlock codes arent far away.
Cellunlock,net is reputable website - I have gotten unlock codes for many a phone through them. Only once, they were not able to get an unlock code for me, but they refunded my money promptly.
For the AT&T 920, they do claim a turnaround time of 5-10 days. I'm not sure why it is so long, but do you want to wait that long to find out?
BTW, if you do decide to go with Cellunlock.net, use the code "CRACKB50" for 50% off on the unlock price.
Hope some AT&T Lumia owner try to unlock it. If they unlock it, i can buy my own lumia and use it in my country with no risk. BTW, using the voucher code from rajeshr the unlock code cost 19.99.
Edit: I found other service for unlock rogers devices
http://unlock.canadagsm.ca/nokia/Nokia-Lumia-920-LTE-network-unlock/
don't know if canadagsm is a trusted site, but again, some one can try it.

Reputable site, but they don't have any unlock codes as yet. I got an email from them this morning stating that and asking me to wait for another 2-3 days. I guess we'll wait and see.

ive had two lumia 920's and ATT actually sent me the unlock code for the first one! However, I think the CSR made a mistake when submitting my request, because when I received the unlock code it says its for a Lumia 900.
Did it work? I'm not sure because I have already exchanged the phone for another color!
I submitted another request for the second phone, but promptly received a notice saying they wont unlock because of the exclusivity period.
@rohitgarewal: How did you ask for the unlock code and for what reasons?
@BigwaveMx: Were you able to use tethering with other carriers after the unlock?
Thanks, btw for the replies!
i haven't (yet) a lumia 920. Still waitting to buy the unlock code for use it in my country. However, I read in some places that there is a problem with tethering in AT&T and Rogers devices. For me, is not a big deal have tethering. I bealive the international version works fine.
Hi
Hi, anyone got the unlock code? What do you think about that: ht t p : / / blogs.msdn.com/b/zxue/archive/2012/11/11/sim-pin-and-pin-unlock-key-puk-code-on-your-nokia-lumia-920.aspx Developer unlock, is this work?
Got 20 digit code from ATT
I called and requested an unlock code to use the phone while traveling abroad (Bought the phone at full price). I did get an 20 digit unlock code but it didn't work. Called them back and they said they will send a new request. I'll let you know how it goes.

I don't think the developer unlock is the same as network unlock. From what I read on that link, developer unlock allows you to sideload (using an Android term; i.e. not from the market) apps for development and testing. It does not say anything about unlocking the phone for other carriers.

Any news about the unlocking for AT&T devices? Still looking for a cheap unlocked Lumia but can't find anything cheapper than $777 US
Expansys USA is apparently selling the AT&T branded 920 unlocked for $620. Can't post links yet, not enough posts. It is recently went from "We have no confirmed lead time for this item" to "Stock Usually Ships In 10 Days." This looks like a very attractive choice, if you don't mind the att logo I'm considering buying one of these.
Ok, i will check it. Thanks for the heads!
I found a new service to unlock AT&T lock. Sadly I haven't any IMEI code to test. Maybe someone can try it. Btw, I doesn't know if is a trusted site.
http://www.unlockitnow.com/Nokia/Lumia_920_unlock_code.php
I've been emailing every site I find that says they can unlock the phones..
So far they have all replied negatively.
I just emailed your site and I'm waiting on a reply now.
I also called AT&T and gave them a sad story.. hoping that they would sympathize with me and give me the code.
That didn't work either
After I get a response from these guys.. I'll post up a list of all the sites I've tried.

[Q] Anyone tried unlocking EE L920?

Hey guys in the UK
So I brought the Lumia 920 from Phones4U, and I'm testing out which one will give me an unlock code...
But here's the thing: People have stated the EE lock is closest to T-Mobile UK, as the Lumia 920 supports the Virgin Mobile SIM too!
Here's the questions:
1. Has anyone here been lucky enough to get it unlocked from EE?
2. What sites have been used?
I have tried:
cellunlocker - Tried on Orange, may try again for T-Mobile
cellphoneunlocker - Tried on Orange, now trying on T-Mobile
fonezone - Tried on Orange and no luck, apparently no code for T-Mobile on that site
Good luck in getting EE to unlock.... Been trying for over a week.
They keep saying to me, as i didn't buy the phone from them, you have to get the code from p4u.. P4u say get it from EE... Ive even contacted Nokia they say EE should unlock it.
There is one site i found on here but its £40

What I got - was told to come back in a few weeks haha!
Yeah I've had no luck with p4u either. My main thing is that I think the carrier lock affects the NFC options for registering a card as I have not been able to get about bank cards on the NFC to associate in wallet
I was looking forward to that feature.
morning people, i have great news for you, the following website have said that they can unlock lumia 920. Bad news is £54 inc vat.....UnlockFrog | Unlock your Mobile with the Genuine Unlock Code
Ill just wait for mrunlock.com before i go ahead with unlockfrog..

Tried foneszone but unsuccessful.. Thinking of giving cellunlocker.net a go, but I was reading that they all use the same database, so if one cant unlock its highly likely that none can.. And seeing that cellunlocker want 40+ quid and foneszone 'only' 20..

I haven't used them for Nokia but contact fonefunshop, they have always helped me in the past!
UPDATE. according to their website they can unlock Lumia 920 locked to EE for £30! I have used them several times in the past and their communication and service is A+!
I visited a couple of those high-street unlocking guys, and they said they could do it for 25 GBP and 40GBP respectively.. Anyone had luck with them? I don't know if I trust them or not..

Your order reference number is: **********
Unlock Code Unavailable
We have refunded your order in full. Please allow 3-4 working days to see cleared funds in your account.
Why?
Unfortunately the unlock code for your IMEI number:*********************************** is not available.
This could be because the phone manufacturer has not yet added it to their database, it is an unsupported model, or you entered the IMEI incorrectly upon ordering.

UnlockFrog
Just spoken to UnlockFrog who said :
"First batch of handsets are still processing with our supplier for this new service.
We will have the results towards the end of next week. The service is brand new specifically for EE handsets"
They've added me to their mailing list to let me know if they can unlock it. I'm using a white unlocked 920 ATM but I really want a yellow one, all of which are locked to EE in the UK.
Wait for a month and demand EE give you the unlock code free. They are obliged to if you are on a contract phone. I am waiting for a month and will be claiming my unlock code from EE. already tried and they said a month. O2 give you the code immediately or email yo you within a week. There is really no need to use those sites unless you buy pay as you go. If you are buying buying pay as you go why would you buy a network locked phone?
Sent from my RM-821_eu_euro1_342 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
so better not buying the phone from ee or p4u?
saw the grey one in the advert in town and thought i might go with it:/
want it unlocked so.
didnt find a proper offer in UK or Germany so far

According to the current threads covering this subject there are no codes released for the 920 yet. In fact there is about a 4 month back log and most of the sites that offer codes are scams.

Need Help From AT&T Customer.
To the OP
you need to make sure from AT&T or even Tmobile will check if the IMEI is in the Blocked list they have now in effect. If it is in the "LOST/STOLEN" list or Fraud from insurance claims or something like that that IMEI is blocked in the united states.
If so, no way no how will AT&T give you the unlock code.
If you device happens to be on that list, you may just have to wait until unlockers get a way of doing it.
Or buy a Verizon, 822 they already come Sim Unlocked.
Good LUck
or htc 8x verizon,
or a Rogers lumia

Have you not read any of the other post regarding unlock codes for this phone? Even if you are an ATT customer the back log for unlock codes is right now nearly a year. All the websites that claim they have them are nothing but scams that will steal your money.
To put it bluntly, there are currently no unlock codes. No one other than those paid by or working for those scam sites have reported getting an unlock code that works. You have to own the phone through a contract with ATT and wait the full term of the contract which is 2 years before ATT will even consider giving you a code and then they still have to get it from Nokia whom may or may not agree to release it.

Sim unlock of T-Mobile HTC One

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.
thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. We have received your SIM Unlock Request. Unfortunately, we are unable to process your request at this time because your Equipment Installment Plan is not paid in full. You can make a payment by logging into the T-Mobile Web Site www.T-Mobile.com, through our automated system by dialing 611 from your handset or 1-800-937-8997 from a landline phone. Once the Equipment Installment Plan has been paid in full please contact us to have another SIM Unlock Request submitted.

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.

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.

[Q] Can anyone help unlocking Lumia 920?

I am currently with T-mobile and accidentally bought a "locked" Lumia 920 to AT&T from ebay.
Because I was short on money I even bought one with cracked screen but I cannot use it with T-mobile...
I visited AT&T, T-mobile store and they won't unlock it and since I am not a AT&T customer, I can't ask them either.
I tried downloading multiple softwares and other variety of things but seems no success...
Is there anyone who can generate unlock code for me? That would be really appreciated.
I am facing similar problem. At&t said the customer to whom the phone(imei) is linked can ask for the unlock code no one else. And my seller is such a jerk he simply ignored my requests to help me. As the servers are down no third party code provider is in position to help.

Search "CellUnlock" with Google.
Sent from My Nokia Lumia 920.
There are a host of stores online that will sell you an unlock code for 50 USD or less. You can also call AT&T and tell them you bought for your daughter or son or even yourself to use while you are overseas for month. You need it unlocked so you can use it on a network over there. They will give you a code as long as the phone is not on a contract.
Unlock code for AT&T devices are pretty cheap in fleabay. Paid just around US$3.50. Worth it to get out of hassle and unlock easily.
Rogers device are around $15 online.
