anyone have a reputable site or a way i can unlock this phone? i called dell, they called ATT while i was online with them.. they say they have to open a case to get the code from dell and it will take 7-10days.. one ebay site i emailed said $41 to unlock it and will take up to 5days would love to start using this thing before 7-10 days.. any help would be appreciated
Save yourself the forty bucks and wait an extra five days! Lol.
There's very few sites out there that provide unlock codes for Streaks right now. And the very few that do, charge pretty exorbitant prices.
yeah that sux.. owell hopefully they will get it to me sooner then 7-10days!

Don't hold your breath. I've opened three cases with AT&T and none of them have been fruitful. I've also tried paying unlocking sites although they just refunded my money because they couldn't get a code.
At this stage, the white Streak appears to not be unlockable as there are no reports of ANYONE successfully unlocking one.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Others may chime in with success stories of unlocking the black Streak and tell you unlocking will be simple. All I will say is that I managed to get 2 black Streaks unlocked and was once of the first to get a white version, and I'm still using a rebelsim :-(

This is my first post in the forum. But let me tell you guys, I have a white dell streak unlock from att. This is what I did...call dell and tell them that I bought the streak from best buy and have them call att for a case. Tell dell rep that I will be using the streak over sea, and will be leaving very soon...So dell rep call att and told them to speed up the process and I got it next day

Anyone look in the nv_ram file? I know the galaxy s phones have the unlock code in plain text. Anyone try that route and see if it were possible?

does the rebel sim work with froyo 2.2? i was reading it wasnt working with 2.2 only 2.1? i mean i guess ill see what happens with att, they said id have the unlock code by new years day so...
The white one is unlockable. I am using one right now. I boughr from bestbuy for the pull priced. Called AT&T and asked for the unlock code. Was on hold for.about 5 minutes. Told me it wasn't in the system. That a case neeses to be open.and I needed to fax some over the receipt and a cover page to the unlock department. 4 days later I get a email from them with the unlock code. What's weird is that I have had two streaks that I got from dell and AT&T gave me the code on the spot.

I am writing now from the white unlocked streak. same procedure as always except for the fact that the unlock code needs to be issued by dell.

well thats whats happening now.. called dell 6 days ago and just got the email last night from at&t saying fax over the receipt and all.. problem is i bought the phone used, so unless i can just make up a receipt i dont see them handing over the code .. ive emailed a few of the ebay unlock guys and all of them said after checking my imei# that there is no code available.. so im kinda stuck at this point!

if you have searched and read the topics you've come to know that this is not possible yet. Unless you have an inside man or chick working as the assistent manager for Michael Dell.

What's wrong with using a rebel sim? all you do is cut the sim, stick it in the adaptor, plug it in and you're done, takes less than 5 minutes.
I live about 30 min from the dell headquarters in texas... think i should make a big sign reading "UNLOCK MY STREAK", put it on the roof of my car, and drive around their campus honking my horn and blasting music? maybe Michael will look down from his window and give in... or just get me arrested.
I am waiting...
I argued first with Dell for about an hour through 3 different people on Friday night.
I then called AT&T, because I am a current customer, and explained to them that I paid full retail (not subsidized on a contract) and that I travel internationally. I first spoke to a first level CSR. She wasn't able to help, so then I requested a floor manager. Spoke to the floor manager, and he was a bit more argumentative and much more resistant, saying that AT&T had a "10 month marketing exclusive" with Dell on this device. Not happy there, I pressed on (even though the floor manager told me that the supervisor I would be speaking to would tell me the same thing).
When I finally got a supervisor on the phone, he was very cool about the whole ordeal, listened to me carefully, and explained that he would be willing to create a case to have an unlock code requested. He was very clear that this was not a guarantee that they would give me a code, but he did understand that I needed it to be unlocked for international travel.
He created the case, took down all my info, IMEI #, and even added my Dell Order # as proof that I purchased it off-contract and told me I would get a response by 8/30, and possibly sooner.
Just a waiting game now. Hope this helps someone else. Please post here if you are successful in getting a code.
Thanks,
-Rob

I recommend you use unlock software.
There are some services around and you have to pay, check http://www.unlockbase.com/
I know they can unlock it. I originally bought an unlocked steak and had it warranteed. They sent an ATT locked one. Dell mobility created a ticket and ATT have me an unlock code.

That's one of the theories of why many people, like myself, got "used" Streaks even though we ordered new. When Dell blew out the unlocked Streaks for $199, they ran out of stock. So the theory is that they took locked AT&T Streaks, opened them up and unlocked them while feasting on KFC. Makes since since most of us ended up with Streaks made 8 months ago or older while the people that ordered earlier got newer streaks made this year. The older streaks came with double seals, opened and resealed, the newer streaks had single seals.
Hello i have a couple of questions. First i am thinking about buying a rogers dell streak but would like to use it on bell. I called omega cell in edmonton and they said they cant unlock it can it be unlocked online? Also what is everones opinion of it?

i love this phone having had a dozen or so in the last few years. mine is at&t unlocked so im sure the rogers one must be unlockable as well.
I just ordered one from dell after reading what froyo 2.2 can do on the streak which makes the streak a perfect device for me. The only downside is that it's locked to rogers, althought I'm on rogers network but i would love to have the flexibility to use other carriers in the event I am traveling aboard. I read somewhere that unlocking service is available but it's expensive - over $100. I checked with dell before I ordered and they said they don't offer the unlocking code. Now the last resource is going after rogers which I have not done yet, and I probably will do and just have to wait a little bit because it's still new until rogers put up the streak on their website.
I plan on using it on bell and rogers and just switch sim cards. My galaxy s is buggy as hell it will be sent away for 4 or 5 weeks for the second time and rogers doesnt work where I work but it the only other phone out in canada that I'm intrested in. well I don't mined paying 100 dollars to get it unlocked. What unlock site can be trusted.

I ordered one from Dell Canada on November 9 and the scheduled delivery date is this Thursday, November 18. When I read yesterday that unlocked Streaks are coming to the US in a few weeks with Froyo pre-loaded, I called Dell customer service (located in India) and asked to cancel my order. My order was still showing as "Not shipped" as of yesterday. The CSR told me that my order has almost gone through the manufacturing process and it is too late to cancel it now. He said I could refuse to take delivery when Purolator delivers it to me and that my money will be refunded. That's what I plan to do. I don't know if or when Dell Canada will sell the unlocked Streak, so I may have to get it from Dell USA.

I read about the unlocked version will be available soon in the US but I doubted that the unlocked version will be highly for T-Mobile users which is not compatible with rogers / at&t. Dell has exclusive contract with at&t and thus would not sell unlocked version compatible with at&t/rogers.

You brought up a very good point about proven unlocked site. I guess we just have to wait and I'm sure more unlocking service sites will pop up soon and feedbacks from users.
You might be right.

Hey guys, I am also in Canada and ordered a Streak from Rogers. I have used these guys before to unlock all the phone that I have had in the past year or so. "http://www.mobileincanada.com/?l=en&u=all" I have emailed them the IMEI # of the Streak and they said it would be no problem to unlock. They have a great satisfaction clause. Give them a try. BTW Rogers unlock codes are only $20.

$20 is a very good deal. Thanks for the info, I will unlock mine when I received it. Please provide feedback if it worked.

Unless things have changed in the last four days since I wrote to those guys, they said they cannot unlock the Dell Streak. It even says so on their website for the Dell Streak. I am not able to post the link, but when you go to the link you provided above, click on Rogers (it is at the top where they show the wireless carriers), then scroll down and click on 'Streak Dell of Rogers'. At the bottom of that page you will see where they say they cannot unlock the Streak. As I mentioned, to cross-check on that, I wrote them four days ago and they wrote back saying "No, sorry", they cannot unlock it.
When will rogers carry them in store i need the phone ASAP and can't get it mailed to me?
hmmm, thats weird. My email was sent today once I got confirmation of my new Streak being shipped. My email also included the IMEI, so maybe they quickly ran it. ????? Since they offer a good refund clause, I will try it when the phone shows up and let everyone know.

Rogers is selling outright for $599 and Dell is selling only $549 ........ Interesting. I bought mine from Dell and it will take weeks to get the phone but I could save $50.
I bought mine from rogers outright to use on fido.I got a rebel sim to unlock it and it worked.
I just went to the Mobileincanada website, put in the IMEI #, click on the button "Check if We can unlock your phone" and it gets back "Yes we can unlock your Dell Streak". At $20, I think this is a good deal ! Maybe I'll unlock it ... but then, I don't have any other Carrier's SIM to test.
If you put your IMEI code and it said it could then go ahead cause when i enter mine it says they can't unlock my streak at the moment. So i'm stuck with the Rebel sim card and there is no way i'm send it through the mail.
Rogers is providing unlock codes now

i bought a dell streak (full price) from BestBuy usa. Then i returned to VietNam. But i can't use my streak because it requires unlock code. I tried to contact with many code provider, but they said that my unlock code is not found. they asked me to contact with dell to get information.
today i called for dell, at&t and bestbuy. But i were very disappointed. they said that can not to find unlock code for me. i'm look like a unlucky guy. because they got some problems with my dell streak. they request me to give my streak back for them to check in 30 days. you know, i live in vietnam and i can't fly to usa just to give streak back for them. it's not fair because i paid full price for that thing.
Now i got pda streak without phone. I don't know what I have to do with it. I took much time for it, but i got nothing. It's not fair.
There are many websites where you can purchase unlock codes.
Fairly pricey, but a reliable website (or so i've heard) - http://www.unlockallcellular.com/dell-streak-unlock-code-p-62157.html?affiliate_id=1239
I called AT&T and they gave me my unlock code
My Streak is in the same situation. I purchased an used one from ebay, DELL claimed it's beta test one based on the service code that I provided. It works with AT&T sim card, but not T-Mobile, which I am using now. AT&T CR said no unlock code for my IMEI number.
PM me your EMIE # and I'll see if I can get AT&T to provide me the unlock code for your Streak. They are pretty nice to me(could be the business account)
I agree, there are some phones that ATT has on the "no questions asked" SIM unlock, and the streak should be one especially since they don't even carry it. All I did was call 611 (customer support), and said I was going out of the country on business and needed an unlock code so I could use a prepaid SIM card and they gave it to me no questions asked. They do need your IMEI as previously stated, but after that, they should give it up like a cheap prom date!
I'm having the same problem at the moment. I've unlocked 2 black streaks by calling AT&T. But when I called to unlock my white Streak, they told me that their system tells them that there is no unlock code available
I can use it with a Rebelsim though and since Steve has started releasing his froyo builds with the old baseband, there's no real need to unlock at the moment.

Hi, I just sent my Dell Streak IMEI number. Could you please try to see if you can get unlock code for me. Thanks a lot!
Who can help me?
Hi all,
I'm starting to get the idea that my Streak cannot be unlocked. Before all of you with the black Streak chime in and say "I called AT&T and they gave me an unlock code", I did the same with two other black streaks.
AT&T are more than willing to give me an unlock code, although no matter how many times a call and ask for it I get the same response. Their system says that there is no unlock code available. I have opened three cases with AT&T and each case has gone past the date I was supposed to hear from them with no call.
I've also spoken to Dell a few times. Every time they say, "you will need to obtain an unlock code from AT&T".
Has anyone out there managed to get their white Streak unlocked?
Thanks,
Krisbo
I am in the same boat as you. I bought my white streak out of contract. A case was opened and I have to send a copy of the receipt tomorrow to get the unlock code. Did you send in a request to the unlock team and tthey never responded?

Yep, no response
When the streak first came out people would get the same response as dell hasn't released the unlock code generator to att.
What I did at this time is to ask the att rep to escalate it and open a case then I just waited and about 2 weeks later I got the email with the unlock code.
For my second streak I got the code right away over the phone.
i guess all you can do is wait till att's code generator app is updated to include the white streak.

So after 10+ plus calls to att for the unlock code and them telling me "not found" then getting an email asking for faxes for this faxes for that I bit the bullet. I purchased the rebelsim unlock reader and to my surprise and 20 minutes in "seeing permissions" it came back with the unlock code. Threw my simple mobile SIM card in there and viola I got service. I did a ton of research but not much info is available...not even reviews for that matter. just letting you guys know.
This is already my 2nd Streak, both got the unlock code from At&t. Just wondering why others were not as fortunate as I am in getting the unlock code for their Streaks.

Where'd you buy your streak from? I got 2 at best buy (bricked one and swapped for another), called at&t and got code 5 minutes later. This was back late dec/early jan.
I bought it from a guy on craigslist and he says he got it from best buy. The att reps all confirmed that it was an att phone but told me that the unlock code was not found. They all filed out a case and gave me the case number. Two to three days later I would get the same email requesting I fax in proof of purchase. I originally thought maybe the phone was stolen but att reps assured me that...that was not the case. So I went this route.
Quick question, does your Individual displayed on screen match the one printed on the inside of your battery case?

Individual? You mean IMEI? Then yes, with 2.1 yes, with Steves rom no... It showed a different IMEI.... But I always told att the imei that was on the sticker.
