I purchased my dell streak directly from dell at the cost of $549.00 (UNLOCKED), before making this expensive purchase I contacted dell in reference to this device being an unlocked device which I was assured it was at the given price. When I received the device I have an account with at&t as well as with t-mobile for my son, when I placed the t-mobile sim card in the so called unlocked device, I received a network locked message and it would'nt allow me to have the services of t-mobile, yet once I placed in my at&t sim, it worked just fine. Why would dell indicate unlocked when in fact its really not. I have samsung, nokia and htc unlocked devices which works on ANY carrier with a sim card. Whats the deal here on this dell streak device.
All Streaks purchased from Dell in the U.S are locked to at&t, you can request a lock code from at&t which they should give you free of charge.
I read on the Dell forum that they will shortly be selling unlocked streaks in the U.S
Like the previous poster said AT&T will provide you with an unlock code. Just and FYI though using that unlock code will not get your phone the Froyo update any quicker as it appears only factory unlocked phones will get it first (along with UK devices) The AT&T locked phones will start getting the update on Dec 3rd according to Dell.
I just bought my Streak last week and will be returning it and reordering an unlocked unit from Dell which should be available in a week or two.
Nice this thread already answered one question i had:
If i buy an ATT streak and unlock it will FROYO come faster? NO.
Second question you guys may be able to help with...
Does anyone know if the upcoming US Dell factory unlocked streak will be compatable with T-Mobile? I'd love to not have a 2GB data plan...
Thanks!
From what I understand they will but only on their Edge network, they won't be any different hardware wise that the current AT&T locked devices they will just be unlocked from the factory. All that means is they will have a different baseband version classifying them as unlocked.
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?
Took chance to ask att for unlock of my friend's o2 streak and it didn't work. They said, they would love to unlock it, but there is no such imei in their database...

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 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.

sometimes its possible to get the code free by contacting 02
however when they dont give a code then its still but possible to read the Streak unlock code via software
go to unlockstreak.com. it is cheaper
Been trying those software unlocker and they dont work for me.... ive followed instructions to the t but it just hangs on "Trying to get phone info" then it does nothing.
If you unlock your streak, you won't need a rebel sim surely? The point of the Rebel sim is to bypass carrier locks so you can use other sims.
As long as you are an O2 contract customer, you should be able to get the code for free from O2.
I was able to get mine unlocked quite quickly using this o2 unlock form
I can't post the link as I am a new member! But google will help you

Yes try it....it worked on my streak .......... The nextgen software unlocker did not work for me but the rebelsim software did.
You shouldn't have to be on contract with the carrier, they should be able to give you the code for free. I had absolutely no troubles getting my code from AT&T, the carrier my Streak was locked to. I literally just had to ask for it and give them my IMEI so they could look up the code for me.
Hi all,
I have been playing around with my STREAK that I got from DELL website unlocked. First, it was stuck in the Dell Logo after upgrading to 2.1 Got it fixed by installing O2 1.6 then upgrade to O2 2.2 Howevever, now it ask me for a network unlock code. Even when I am having it build 12332 baseband GAUSB1A131500-US.
please help.
Did you buy it unlocked or unsubsidized? Unsubsidized is buying the device full price without the carrier discount for extending or creating a 2 year contract with them. Unlocked is when you can use it with any networks SIM card.
Either way, call/email dell and tell them that you bought it unlocked and they should send you the Unlock code.
I called At&t and just told them that i'm gonna be traveling overseas and need the unlock code and they sent it to me right away
good luck
