Okay my previous post was awkward. So can anyone that has Verizon PLEASE call their Global support and ask for an unlock code for my Htc Ozone (IMEI=35967102414375701). They give it to you for free if you are already a customer but I'm not. I'll pay you the 2 dollars that I have remaining after buying my phone ($2 was not enough to buy an unlock code online). I've had this phone for more that a week but haven't been able to use it because it's locked, and my parents still have to pay for a phone that's not in use!!! Thx for any help. YoU can send me a pm
I feel stupid since no one has even replied in like 5 days lol. Please help

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
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 .
ENJOY!!!! please like this post and sticky it since its my first real usefull post here at XDA.
PS: I dont know if this post is already made but i checked more than 20 post people asking questions so ths thread is more of a solution sorry if i broke a law or something just mail me if i need to mod something cheers... and enjoy youre phone!!!!!

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.
Um, duh...

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
Hey all,
I'm a Canadian, living in Canada, drinking Canadian Beer. So I bought a DVP, locked to T-Mobile on eBay a few weeks ago. I was under the impression that ANYONE would be able to get the phone unlocked via Dells, "UnlockCodeRequest" email. I mean, seems simple enough right? shoot them an email with your IMIE, and voila, gold. But it didnt turn out to be the case.
So, once I got the phone, I sent them an email with my IMIE asking for an unlock code and they reply back saying, "Nope, sorry, Retail Version bro, cant unlock, Contact T-Mobile".
I'm thinking great... now i have to go to XDA-Forums and search on how to get this thing unlocked. So a week passes by and after researching SOO many forums, I come to a conclusion:
There are two ways to unlock the phone.
1) For free, through unlockcode request
2) Pay someone 80$ to get it done (theres only one service that can unlock the phone for now). the other shady places that charge $10-50 cant unlock the phone.
I didnt want to spend $80 to unlock the phone, thats like 1/3rd the price of what I paid for the phone hahaha.
Having nothing left to lose, THIS is what I did: (keep in mind, i've never been a T-Mobile customer)
Email 1 to DELL
Hi Dell Employee!
I was given this email address by Mark, a T-Mobile CSR who asked me to send you a message to get my phone unlocked. I am studying overseas in Canada and I dont want to spend more money on a new phone because I'm here for only a few months. Please help a poor student out!
IMEI: __________________

I reply: (because its true, the link they give is outdated)
The T-Mobile websites are outdated on the link you gave me. I called T-Mobile again and they said to send you an email again saying that Dell provides the codes.
Please help, its disappointing that I cant use your phone overseas. Once again, my IMEI is: _______________

I get an email from Dell the next day
Dear Customer,
Please contact nearest T-mobile store with proof of purchase/account information for unlock code.

I reply... once again, I have nothing to lose, so why not
Guys,
I'm not even in the US. I'm in Canada right now for an exchange program. The nearest T-Mobile store from me is 500 Miles away from me. I've called them and they keep on telling me to either call you or send you an email (this email address).
This is a little ludicrous, both of you keep on telling me to contact the other and yet the issue is not resolved.
Please advise,

And 48 hours later, I have the unlock code. The phone is now working like a charm.
Hope this helps!
Bottom line, carrier locked phones are the worst idea in the world!
it works, I had to nag and beg about the 4th or 5th time, he was going to give it to me, he gave in... but I just recieved it from unlockstreak.com so wasnt needed any longer.
why are they so damn unhelpful..?
just keep bugging em... they'll give in.
I know I emailed dell after purchasing the phone from them and I got a reply within 2 days with my unlock code. I was very surprised it was that easy. If only every company had an email address for services such as this.
My advice is if you have a DVP and need/want it unlocked, try and email them and give it 2 days or so and see if you get a reply with a code, you've got nothing to loose
I emailed Dell and they sent me an unlock code. Now just need to figure out how to get working with a hidden network and 3g Att, and we all good
Hi Im french guy , can you give me Email to contact DEll please thank you .
Worked for me too!
Got a T-Mo DVP unlocked in under 18 hours!
Here is the e-mail addy: [email protected]
Dear Customer Good day to you!
We are happy to provide you with the unlock code for the device that you requested:
Hope you love our products and services.
Thanks

It doesn't work that way, it's not on their account, it's on yours. You could probably purchase a code, or try a chat rep, they usually oblige.
Hi,
We recently had a customer trying to do the same thing (unlock S4 from Sprint) however, we quickly found out that we had to refund them and remove the service from our site.
The unlock prompt isn't currently appearing when a non-accepted SIM card is being entered, so getting an unlock code at this stage would be pointless for you.
I don't have an answer (yet) but just a warning I thought I should add. Hope it helps. At least you're not alone!
Can anyone please help me carrier unlock my device? Bought it a few days ago off of ebay. The listing said it was unlocked but it wasnt and ebay ended up siding with the seller so I cannot email/message him to have him call speint and unlock the device. Thwy said it is eligable but I dont have the account holders name or account number so I can't go that route. Is there anyone who can help me? It is locked to Sprint and I am wanting to use it with Boost Mobile. It is not rooted yet but will be if I can figure out how to unlock this device ao I can use it with Boost.

youre going to have to pay for one. I just got one for my S9 for $29. Ive seen sites offering unlocks for anywhere between $7 up to $50, but youll need to buy one. Of course, there is the off chance that someone will figure it out and have it on offer here, but you might as well wait for it to rain anvils. Sure theres a chance, but its a VVVEEEEERRRRRYYYYYYY small chance. Just pay the approximate $30 and be done with it
