Hey guys n galls, this has probably been asked many a time already. I need to get my streak unlocked from O2 uk so I can use my T-Mobile SIM
What I would like to know is there any way to unlock this without calling O2 or Dell I.e. by an IMEI unlock code generator or even an app I could use on the Streak?
I hope there is something I can do myself
Thanks in advance and merry christmas.

Just called O2 spoke to a guy who said "yes I can do that for you today sir" but once I gave him the IMEI he then told me there was another 6 months till they will provide me with the code. Ohh well will have to wait a week till my rebel sim comes.

Perhaps someone with a little more tech knowledge should respond... but there is no reason to believe the Rebel Sim would not continue to be an acceptable solution, regardless of OS.
The function of the Sim is independent of the OS.

Based on the installation instructions for the djsteve froyo Rom there appear to be rebel sim issues. My first streak was an o2 plus rebel simply, I sold it and bought an unlocked one. Get yourself an unlock code is my recommendation.....

No !
I just update my streak O2 UK in 2.2 and it no longer recognize my sim card.
But it worked well with my Rebel sim II in 1.6 and 2.1
It won't work, already posted that on the other post before you posted this one
There's also about 300 links on google warning that with 2.2 they knowlonger work
Here's another question:
After you upgrade to 2.2 can you still log into the market with no simcard card?
As when i upgraded from 1.6 to 2.1 i could not log in to the market using just wifi, i had no credit on my sim card and had to top up so i could log in using 3g first then log in using wifi after.

hi
if you get a pay & go sim then youll be an o2 customer
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...-just-sent-me-unlock-code-for-my-dell-streak/
just take no as an answer, keep emailing them back until they say YES, and address your email to SAGAR.
(also tell them that there are HEAPS of forum members got the code from them already)
ps. i got mine unlocked and i'm in AUS
GL
I hve tried a lot, n even sagar has declined my request

I live in greece, i have a locked to O2 phone, and they deny to unlock it because i am not an O2 customer!!
Sagar send me the mail... they told me to find the first owner of the phone!!!! stupid....things!
I don't see why o2 should unlock the phone for you. As they say, you're not an o2 customer, you're not contributing revenue to them and never have. Why should they unlock the phone for you to use on a different network? No-one forced you to buy an o2 streak after all

How unsupportive.
How about paying $20 and getting an unlock code from one of the online websites?

I'm sorry for not being supportive, but as an o2 customer I would effectively be subsidising his/her phone being unlocked. o2 are running a business after all, which makes them very unlikely to start giving stuff away for free. I feel more supportive towards o2 for protecting their revenue stream and (hopefully) in turn keeping my costs as a customer down.
My suggestion for the OP would be to sell the locked Streak and get an unlocked version, or to pay a commercial site to unlock it as suggested above.

tried quite a few of them...none of them worked for me
which one unlocks O2 locked ? I can't find one!
As you all know, the cost for unlocking a Streak locked to AT&T can vary from free to well over $50. I want to use my Streak with T-Mobile, so in researching, I found an excellent solution for only £5. Go to imeicodes.co.uk and find the item for unlocking any AT&T Wireless phone. I purchased this yesterday (through Paypal) and about an hour later, I had my unlock code. It worked great!

Or you can just call AT&T and ask for unlock code

Once AT&T *unlocks* the phone, can you upgrade it to Froyo (or Honeycomb?)?
Yes. I called and after explaining to them what the streak was, they put me on hold for five mins and then came back with tge code. I have bussiness care though...ymmv with the regular 611 chimps.

you dont need to unlock to get froyo, and unlocking wont automatically get you froyo. honeycomb isnt on any devices yet.
Because I don't have access to one. I'm considering selling it.
Thanks in advance.

To the best of my recollection, in order to use the unlock code that you got for the Streak you have to put a SIM from another carrier into the phone. Find a friend with T-Mobile and borrow his SIM for a minute to unlock your phone.
Dell will give you the unlock code no questions asked...just call.

You did not buy the phone new? If you did and you got it anywhere except Dell then it probably carrier locked.
I would call Dell and give the phone info, they can probably tell you if it was sold unlocked.
once my streak unlocked one time, do I still need the code for future, if I need to switch to switch carrier again. thanks in advance.
No.

I've had 5 different dell streaks so this is from my experience... if you're on AT&T and get "H" data, then your phone is unlocked. If you only get "3G" then your phone is locked.
H and 3G is rom dependant and has nothing to do with the lock status per se
at&t roms have the H icon disabled so it only shows 3g.
All other roms show H when HSPA is available and 3g when only UMTS is available (which is rather rare now)
