Just let them know you will be traveling outside the US for a while and would like the unlock code for your phone so you can use local sims.
They will probably ask you where and try to get you to sign up for their international service. If they ask you where give them some country in the UK or carribean.
The more helpfull customer service reps will even check the country and let you know if your phone will work there once unlocked.
I'd use London/England as my destination
If you've had service in good condition with them for more than 90 days it should not be a problem. I also think you have to wait until you can't return the device anymore,so more that 14 days.
Good luck
i think the 90 day thing is for new customer only.
if you have been with t-mobile for longer than 90 days, they give unlock code out like free candies on Halloween

Hey guys, I've just bought HD2 from TMO and I want to use it outside the US. I've searched for posts regarding this but haven't find the answer. Is there any software to download to unlock it? or is it just the code method?
thanks a lot
You know what this question might just get you flamed.
Get a code from T-Mobile to SIM unlock ... Call T-Mobile customer care and send ur proof of receipt thru Fax.. they will send you the code to your email address. (I got mine in 5 hrs) TMO guys are very friendly and they will surely help you.

Wait, before all the flames - I'm sorry I haven't mentioned it but I am not the one who bought it from t-mobile nor do I live in the US at all. That is why I am looking for a software solution rather then getting the code from tmo which again, I cant get.
Yes I do understand. Me too not live in US of A
Still u can try calling toll free number which works from outside US
Also catch hold of the guy from who u bought... If that is difficult then ebay will help you ...cheers

go to theunlockr.com and they will unlock your phone...for a price.
you can also get unlock code on eBay.com
Just call Tmo and tell them you are traveling and you will like to get your phone unlock and the will ask you some basic questions about the phone ie (IMEI #) and withing 72hrs you will have the unlock code. but if you feel like wasting money you can go to theunlockr1com (remove the 1 and place a .) and then click on the link for unlocking your phone. Good lock
Hi,
I currently got a HTC HD2 SPL 2.08.HSPL and I was wondering if there is a way to unlock it, so I can use other carriers. I bought like 4 unlock codes and none of them worked... Is there any other method I can try to unlock it?
Thank you
from where you bought the code?
Hey I got my phone from my relative in the US and it was locked with T-mobile as well. I can't post links since this is my 1st post but google "mobileincanada". It should be the 1st link on the list.
Its cost $20 which is the cheapest compared my local stores which charged me around $40-60 to unlock the service provider. Also I received my code within 20 minutes. If you want to be sure, you can email them your IMEI code and ask if they can unlock it. I know you probably skeptical at this point since you have already tried 4 codes from other site. People that have used this site before leave feedback, you can look for my name (Carter Nguyen) in the feedback.

I bought the code from
freeyourhtc.com
cellunlocker.net
and 2 on ebay and none of them worked
T Mobile or a local store that hooks it up tho there pc should be able to generate the code, but there is no cert here
I just got my unlock code from cellunlocker.net. It took just 5 minutes to get it. 20 bucks.
just call t-mobile. don't pay for that crap.
they emailed me my code, it took like an hour for the code to arrive.
T-Mobile
i have been waiting for more than a week now. no news from T-mobile after calling them. You must be very luck to get the code in just an hr. hmmm. please can anyone recommend a good site?
That is the problem with the network providers. They dont give the codes quickly. So the customers go in search of online providers for the codes. Even i was in the same situation when i wanted to unlock my mobile. I then unlocked my mobile at WickedUnlock.com within hours. You can trust this guy from whom i got the code. They provide genuine codes.
I have one T-Mobile version 8G dell venue pro for 3 weeks (from ebay), but need unlock code to use it in other network. I tried to ask code from dell unlock request code group, but they said cannot provide it since it's a retail version. So I placed order from one ebay seller and then another, but both couldn't get code for me. Then I submitted order in unlockallcellular.com, but they said so after 2 days.
Can anyone help me out of this problem? Where can buy an unlock code by searching in direct DB or cauculating method or software method LIKE fastgsm.com(they said they can only cauculate Samsung Focus). Thank you sooooooo much.

If dell doesn´t provide the unlock key I think you need to take a contract with T-mobile.
Or wait 2 days.

T-mobile kick the bal to Dell.
Anyone can help me?
I assume you want a carrier unlock? IE you use another sim than the one that was provided? If so then...
email [email protected] and say this:
Hi, I am travelling outside the US, and I need an unlock code
My IMEI is: _____________ (your imei)
Thanks!
______________________________
The IMEI is found under your battery. Also make note of the service tag as they will probably want that too.
If your trying to sideload apps, then I hear the Chevron tool works great.
yes, I've sent mail to dell. They said it's a retail item, cannot give code.

yes, I need carrier unlock. I've sent mail to dell. They said it's a retail item, cannot give code.
you might have to call them then... I still havent recieved a response, and meanwhile I already travelled to the UK, so I am phoneless. Cheapest cheap phone here is 20pounds, but Virgin Mobile gave me a free SIM card to try out so I think I will have a friend in the States call them and give em my info so I can get this unlocked promptly. Their mobile support number that you should call would be 1-800-308-3355
Same problem
Hi there
I am having the same problem, did you get this resolved?
Thanks
im having the exact same problem here. even worse, i figured getting the unlock code would be pretty easy so i swapper out the 8gb card for a 32gb sd card which means the warranty us no good anymore and i cant send it back to the ebayer i bought it from.
i got in touch with dell anyway, same thing, its a retail device to contact tmobile.
but its not possible at the moment because i need to know the phone number of the sim card that came with it to sign up to the tmobile website, and i cant find out the number.
so does anybody have an email address for tmobile i could use it would be a great help?

Communicated with Shallow Blue to obtain unlock code for my windows phone and was pleased with the service. Quick and accurate. One code worked first time for a fair fee.
hello there people im here to lighten youre day ... well to the case... i just spent the last 6 hours trying to find out how to sim unlock my phone i did all the root and unlocking processes but havent had a result because rooting and unlocking the bootloader are DIFFERENT than SIM-UNLOCKING the phone (just to make things clear) ... but through deep investigation i got interesting information about people telling that AT&T supplies the code for FREE just asking for it... so i called this number: 1-877-737-2478 and called first it was a women that didnt really helped and just closed on me, i called again then a guy atended me first asking about the AT&T number which i DONT have so i just told him i needed some information about free unlock codes of the motorola ATRIX 4G and he kindly took my IMEI and gave me the code TOTALLY FREE so there it is... here are the steps to SIM-UNLOCK youre MOTOROLA ATRIX 4G FOR FREE!!!!!.
1-IMEI of youre MOTOROLA ATRIX 4G
2- call costumer support of AT&T 1-877-737-2478 the option you will need is "0"
3- just ask about the free unlock codes they are giving for the phone
4- wait a couple of minutes.
5- if they give you the code enter it in youre phone
6- cross youre fingers
7- dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in case they wont help you i guess you just have to call back i guess they have like more than 100+ employees so youre bound to bump with someone who is willing to give it to you... you DONT need to be an AT&T exclusive customer just ask kindly what you need and theyl help you .

i'm sure some people will read your thread and it'll help them out! just letting ya know where the information already is; it doesn't hurt to try to help out though.
Yep, this info is nothing new. I don't know about ATT, but this same method didn't help me with my Verizon Droid 2 Global.
I called three times and all of those times they told me I need to be a Verizon customer.
Besides, they have CRM to store customer contacts in the database. If you try to contact them too many times it will show up on their records and they might think you are pulling some kind of a scam.
worked like a charm. was on the phone less than 5 minutes
I just called AT&T in the US and told them I was visiting another country for a few days. If you're a customer in good standing (no unpaid bills), they'll unlock the phone for you.
Still Works, Different Phone Number
I called the phone number that is posted on the original message, and I was told to call customer service.
1-800-331-0500
From there I put in my phone number and option 0 until I talked to someone.
I was given the unlocking code without any problem and was even told the AT&T website to deal with my wife's IPhone
I haven't tried the code yet, just hoping that it will all work out
request
I have one atrix and one sony xperia TL, but not have att account or number. i am in india. are you able to call att on my behalf and get unlock code for my phone

This does not work anymore. AT&T changed and restricted their unlock procedure A LOT. See here.
Update on At&t
At&t will no longer provide the unlock code unless you are a current or former At&t customer in good standing, pledge them your first born yadayadayada. They have previously unlocked devices for me, but even tech support isn't allowed to do it anymore. They will send you to the "unlock request" page.

It also differs from customer rep to customer rep
Some will charge you 50 USD to unlock your phone while others tell you to be on their contract for 90 days+
I got fed up with that so I just bought a sim unlocking code from cellphoneunlock and just got it unlocked
Screw AT&T
hi developers i am quite new to this site, the reason i join this i want to get the unlock code for my at&t motorola atrix 4g handset so that i can use different sim carriers,i have searched the whole threads still there is not a solution of the problem.Also i have visited different phone threads like htc sensation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107.Cant this problem be resolved like this,give some suggestion guys.U people are the best i hope someone can come up with a good idea for this problem.Also i have used some other site where they provide unlock code but they give same answers that my code cant be found.Plz developer give a look on this problem.
Hello,
I don't think there is any other way to unlock the atrix besides buying an unlock code. Unlock codes are fairly cheap on ebay, where I got mine. These are the guys that I used http://www.ebay.ca/itm/UNLOCK-CODE-...742?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb89f6246 .
hope that this helps!
hey i know about the site giving unlock codes ,i have tried cellunlock.net site but they said they cant get me the unlock code so i am confused is it worth trying on other site as i heart cellunlock.net is quite best in its work.Give me a suggestion should i try this on other site.They give this message like this
Hi
We checked the IMEI you provided again and the code is not available for that phone. If you have another phone you would like to unlock, email us the IMEI/Provider and we will try to get the code for that phone.
If not please reply to this email with "REFUND" in the email subject and we will issue refund.
What should i do?
If the phone is on AT&T, call them.
They give out the unlock codes for free as long as your account is in good standing.
The easiest way is to use their online chat support.

i know about this but my AT&T account is less than 1 year so they wont give me,also it is not in good standing too
I have tried everything.Hope someone comes out with a solution of this.

I've been with AT&T for over five years in good standing and they wouldn't give me the code either. Their excuse was that Motorola wouldn't release the codes.
I ended up unlocking mine through cellularunlock. Then went to wwwDOTpsouza4.com/bionic/#root to root.

Cellular unlock works great, pretty fast too. Only option really if you're not in the states. If you have an at &t number online chat supposedly works great.

yeh i have given my order for the unlock code to cellunlocker.net ,on the site u jst have to put imei no and see that ur phone is available in their database.Also they say on there FAQ that if the code is not found on the AT&T database than there r other options to get the code directly from the manufacture,as i put my imei no on the site they say that the code is there in there database,but i dont think they wll be able to provide me through AT&t .I am waiting for there reply if they say they cant get me the code through AT&T i wll go to the manufacture method.Hope my code come this time.
I am skeptical about unlock codes. At first I bought one on ebay it did not work. Then I got one from at&t , it did not work either. I had at&t sim inside while unlocking. I think I blocked the unlock feature by trying too many times.
YES it is possible to enter an unlock code with at&t sim inside if you enter special service code first which bring the unlock menu.
Any thoughts?

obviously it's not if you used this method and none of your codes worked.
This may have changed, but the guy at the at&t store told me a few months ago that once your phone is over six months old you can just call at&t and they will give you the code.

Cheap unlock
In case you are interested, i got my unlock code for an At&t Atrix last week from unlock_fusion at e-bay. it worked perfect and was just $2.35.
They where quick too, bougt it arround midnight EST, and got it in less than an hour!
