It is true o2 will not unlock them yet because they are the only ones selling them locked so will not unlock them so you can use there device on another network. I know dell sell them unlocked but o2 cannot do anything about them.
Once the device is more available there will be a way to unlock it its just so new, I have read about people getting data on the rebel Sim did you go to rebels website they have a section just for the streak

Pleased for you mate glad you got it working

Glad you got it working....ive bought a rebel sim and it wont even boot. Their website is useless as there are no contact emails or phone numbers that i can see - i fired up a online chat with a presales guy but as soon as he found out i was having problems he cut me off, just before he left an email address which i contacted but was then left a return mail saying bluntly "read the FAQ" which i did, which still didnt solve the problem or come anywhere near it. So from what i can currently see....its useless and so is their site. Personally i hope this thread appears in google if people are searching for info on their site. The guy that i bought the streak from has filled out the unlocking form but it looks like its 50/50 whether a number will be returned. I have also heard that they will unlock it for 50 quid....if i do get a code back ill post.

I have a streak and today i managed to get the data connection with a rebel sim. The point is that post putting in the streak , put the sim in another phone and use the internet, then put the sim in streak nand remember to spell the APN correctly, even the upper and lower cases should be kept in mind. Now my streak is giving good data speed on 2g

are you able to use the android market properly? Mine only shows up free apps and doesnt show any paid applications...
Says ''no matching content in android market''
anyone else experience this? i am using the rebel sim card also with 2g only and wifi running...

Will O2 unlock a dell streak bought as a PAYG phone,i bought one off ebay,and i am using a O2 PAYG sim card in it that i have had since 2009 i have filled in the unlocking form on the O2 web site with details of my O2 PAYG sim,date last topped up,two phone numbers most dialled,IMEI number of the dell streak etc,but i have not had a reply from O2 yet only thing that worries me is that the person i got dell streak from on ebay,got the phone from O2 as an upgrade,so will O2 know when i fill in the unlocking form with the IMEI number that the phone was for a contract upgrade,and wonder why it is being used as a PAYG phone has anyone on here had there dell streak unlocked on PAYG from O2, as i read on here that they will unlock it in 3 months from purchase,if you buy it outright from them just wondering how it goes if purchased from ebay thanks for any help on here

O2 will not be unlocking any handsets for the forseeable future...period

Is anyone actually working on an unlocking solution?

I see a lot of people working on a lot of other things, but is anyone actually actively working on a solution to unlock the Streak?
How did people get their Nexus Ones/Desires unlocked without going to their Telco?
How do these websites get unlock codes for phones? Have they hacked the phones and come up with some kind of keygen?
Or does every unlock code, whether its from a Telco or an independant websirte, ultimately come from the Telco/Hardware manafacturer?

I am looking everything few days at loads of "unlock" sites ...other forums etc.. Still nothing. Expect things start after the streak launch in the US.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought those unlocking sites got the codes direct from the carrier?
Also, i believe those with unlocked Nexus's (myself included) have unlocked ones because they got them direct from Google. All the others are locked down to the different carries. As far as i'm aware, the only way to unlock a phone is from these unlocking sites or via the carrier, and as O2 have said they wont be releasing the unlock codes until next year, it will be a while before the option becomes available.

Unlock sites don't always get unlock codes from carriers. Plenty of people who are able to develop an key generator. Willing to develop one is another matter, guess its all about ROI.

ROI? Republic of Ireland? Why? Is there where most of the key gen devs live?!?!

I've had enough of this unlocking business.
I've tried for three days now, going to over 10 local stores, malls, and other places to see if they can unlock my Rogers Dell Streak. I've tried countless websites only to be disappointed too.
Seriously, what's with carriers locking their phones? If people want to use their network, it should be because of their plans and customer service, not because of what phones they have.
Oh well, I'm selling my Dell Streak now. Very frustrated, because I actually like the device. But until there is a freakin easy way to unlock it, forget it. Not worth the hassle and headache.

Just use a rebel sim, it's only snobbery when people say it's not unlocked with a rebel, when you can do exactly the same thing.
The going rate for a streak code unlock is $100 or £45

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DELL-STREAK-W...MobilePhones&hash=item1c16256efb#ht_500wt_922
they charge 90 pound to unlock !!! I am really doubt you paid for that...

Yes, I am looking for unlock code for my Streak too because it's an engineering sample and AT&T doesn't have the unlock code in their comuter.

It would be nice if someone could actually do something about this. Most AT&T folks have it easier since AT&T readily gives out the codes over the phone. Us unfortunate souls stuck with O2 locked Streaks are effectively screwed until O2 decides to change their stance on the unlocking thing. And most of the solutions found online are exorbitantly priced too.

att is giving out unlock codes for the streak. infact they are giving out unlock codes for their other phones too. dunno whats possessed them of all people to start doing that. if you have a rogers streak you can call att, they may have them since i dont think anything is really changed from the att one. i believe o2 is giving out unlock codes for the streak too. if not, you can always try the rebel sim card. it costs money and doesnt work with 2.2 though.

I can unlock without any problems.pm me if you need an unlock. Att only gives them out for SOME existing customers.

Yes: judging by the results of folks on the modaco forum keep pestering o2 until you get a result.

unlocking my Streak
I have a Streak which bought privately and an o2 sim only contract
If this is of any help, hear is the way I just unlocked mine free of charge and a day later (yesterday) my upgrade to 2.2 came through, bearing in mind this has taken about 10 days. you will understand why, as you read!
I emailed o2 and simply asked for an unlocking code, knowing the reply I would get setting in motion my already written response thanks to adzman over ad Modaco
o2 replied
Hello
I'm sorry the Dell Streak can't be unlocked by us as it's an exclusive phone and the manufacturer haven't given us the unlocking rights. Please contact the manufacturer to get it unlocked. I hope this helps. If you need any help, please email us or you visit our online helps centre on, (unable to post link)
I then replied
Hi
My understanding is the streak is no longer exclusive to o2 & therefore should qualify for unlocking. Other people have successfully obtained an unlock code for their streak from o2 The streak is now available on orange & vodafone (unable to post link) Also the streak is available sim free directly from dell or via tesco & argos (unable to post links) I understand that when first released this handset was exclusive to o2 & therefore not available for unlock. But as I’ve demonstrated this is no longer the case. I have no intention to leave o2, I like O2 that's why I came back to you, It's the fact that I bought this O2 Dell Streak privately and am using a sim only contract from you. Besides the dell streak is now available for unlocking via 3rd party companies (unable to post link) Please can you provide the unlock code, obviously I would rather deal directly with yourselves, but if need be I can get my device unlocked via the 3rd party. as i say, I’m very happy with O2 - please don't ruin the relationship I have with O2. If required I’d be delighted to talk to an O2 representative from your service management team to ensure my needs as a customer are met Thanks & regards
o2 replied
Hi
We don't have the code for this one on our database & will need to request this from the manufacturer. I'll have this requested & pass it on to you as soon as we get the code back.
Kind Regards
I replied
Dell Streak, and my IMEI number is= 354************
After a while I replied
l seem to be still awaiting my unlock code, is there a problem?
o2 replied
Hello
Thanks for your email. I'm sorry you haven't received your unlatching code yet and for the delay in getting back to you. Unfortunately, we're having trouble getting the codes for Dell Streak devices at the moment but we'll keep requesting the code you need. I'm afraid I can't tell you how long this will take, but as soon as we have the code you need we'll let you know. If there's anything else we can do for you just drop us an email. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Kind Regards
I replied
Re my waiting for my Dell Streak unlatching code. If you haven't got my code on your database and have to retrieve it direct from dell, does this mean that I will also have a problem with the O2 Android 2.2 upgrade which is due out today?
Next day I received my unlatching code
Hi
We have receive unlatching code for your Dell Streak handset however we haven't receive unlatching procedure for the same. The code you require for your handset is "02******"
Kind Regards
The procedure is simple take out your sim and put in a competitors, Tmobile, Vodafone etc. it will then ask for the code when you switch back on.
All this was over a 10 day period
Hope this is some use to somebody

I got an unlock code from calling AT&T. They said to enter another carriers SIM card, to get the prompt for the code. I do not know anyone who has a service with a SIM card in my city, besides T-Mobile. And no one here uses crappy T-Mobile.
My question is: how else can I get the prompt to unlock without another carriers SIM card?
(Dell will call AT&T on your behalf to get the code as well if you are scared of the AT&T techs)

sim
you can get a free pay as you go sim from the Tmobile site, don't know how long it will take to come through or maybe get in touch with somebody local to send you an expired one.

I have a bunch of expired tmo sims laying around if you need one.

Unlock Dell Streak - Rogers

I just had a chat with the live help on mobileincanada.com (a site I have used for unlock codes in the past) and they said for $20 they can unlock the Dell Streak. They claim it's just an unlock code and that it does not need to be running any specific version of the OS in order to do so.
Has anyone else tried this? I'm hesitant after reading here about how it cannot be unlocked.

I got an unlock code from AT&T on 1.6 running on Rogers. Updated to 2.2 and did not have to rekey the unlock.
Get that unlock code!

Just to clarify, you got AT&T to give you an unlock code for a Rogers locked device?

I can get the unlock code cheaper. Just pm me. I just unlocked mine via imei with no problems.

Already tried them and got the refund. I think they are collecting a dollar an attempt though, through some kind of paypal fee.

If you bought your dell Streak locked to Rogers direct from Dell I have been told that it may not be unlockable. Rogers and every website I have tried has not worked. I am currently returning mine and going to buy an unlocked one.

Has anyone succesfully unlocked a Rogers Dell Streak? Has anyone tried the RebelSim to see if that might work? Please let me know.
I'm not a Rogers Customer, so if doesn't work, I will have to return the streak to Dell (if possible).
Please let me know guys.
Cheers,
Pat

Yes the unlock codes are being released now by Rogers. It's not cheap. $50 for the code (plus tax), but you have to be a Rogers customer to qualify to get the code. That's another $10 (plus tax) to buy the sim card. Once you buy the sim call Rogers and they will hook you up for free and give you a $10 credit. Don't know if that credit can be used towards the unlocking amount. My Streak is a Rogers lock Streak bought directly from Dell.ca.

I use the rebelsim and its quite nice, only issue is, the rebelsim is NOT compatible with 2.2 at the moment. The only way to make it work is to get the rebelsim beta update, and in order to do that, you must purchase the firmware loader in addition to the rebelsim which will cost the same as a rogers unlock code. If you get the rebelsim though, you can load it with any firmware to work on almost any phone in the future.

If anyone can get an unlock code for my rogers dell streak, let me know. my email to my phone is [email protected] . thanks in advance!

i need help !! unlock dell streak

hey guys, anyone got any idea on this. after i upgrade to official froyo 2.2 my phone become locked. how to unlock it =.= please help

i'm assuming it was unlocked before?
Have you tried using the same unlock code you used to unlock it?
or if you bought it unlocked i'd say email/call dell.

If you were hsing a rebel sim to unlock thats more than likely the reason.

If your locked to O2 like I was then fill in their online support form and ask for the unlock code while giving them your Imei. If they come back to you saying no they can't, just reply insisting they can as they did it for others as reported on Modaco forum. It took me 5 reply emails before they caved in and gave it to me

Sagar's the guy you want to reach. He seems to be the one who gives the unlock codes without hesitation.

you have to downgrade to v2.1 or v1.6 and use v1.2 rebel simcard II
or can use postal unlocking service

Dell streak Unlocking question US

Okay have a dell streak i bought that is locked to att. Ive been looking around and it SEEMS that the only way to unlock is to get unlock code from my carrier or maybe a 3rd party website. Otherwise the rebel II card and other unlocking sim cards. what im wondering is there any way to be able to unlock it without that stuff. I generally root my phones and then unlock them with various different methods i find on xda. Anyone know of a way to unlock this without going and buying anything additional?

Call at&t and tell them you are going out of the country and want to use a sim card from there. they should give you the unlock code.

This is correct. You shouldn't really even have to say you're leaving the country. If you have an account in good standing for more than 90 days, they will give you the unlock code for any phone except the iPhone.
