I bought one Atrix at&t and it came locked. I bought the unlock code with a seller on ebay, bearcodes, and did not work. I tried the site FastGsm and got the same codes and did not work. I've heard and the IMEI is correct. Always the same message is displayed: "Network unlock request unsuccessfull"
Can anyone help me?
The Codes:
Submitted IMEI 3536************ has unlock code 06555628 13077919 4002829336
Thanks
PS - Sorry for my english
Can't you just tell AT&T that you're going abroad and that you need it unlocked?

Cool, I'm just going to block your IMEI or steal it and clone your phone..
I believe it was said that AT&T isn't unlocking the Atrix until August/Sept timeframe
Guys,
Please have a little patience.
the friend is from Brazil and bought the phone from a person here who said it was easy to unlock and it is with this problem on their hands. This person bought the phone from AT & T.
Can we help you?
Why would you ever want to broadcast your IMEI to the world?
Guys,
he probably did not know the danger of spreading IMEI
bless him. anyway, bought my unlock code from ebay for £10. it was locked to AT&T. the ebay username is freedomobile-com. you have to be patient though. it took him 2 days to get me mine. best of luck
Get ready for an insane phone bill this month my friend.
I think it'll be over 10k. Pay per use data... Download 5 gb files..

I think that was in reference to Motorola unlocking the bootloader. This thread is about unlocking the AT&T network restriction (which prevents you from using a non-AT&T SIM card when traveling overseas). Thirds parties, such as the one used by the OP of this thread, already offer codes to do that.

no, he is talking about network unlocking. AT&T's policy is 6 months after release, which is august.

Criteria for Unlocking with AT&T
http://www.informationweek.com/blog/229202590
1) Customers with postpaid accounts who have completed a minimum of 90 days of active service and are in good standing and current in their payments.
(2) Customers with prepaid accounts who have provided a detailed receipt or other proof of purchase of the handset.
(3) Customers who own handsets for which AT&T has an exclusive sales arrangement with a manufacturer of less than 10 months will have to wait until the 10-month period expires before they can receive an unlocking code.
I think you're also only allowed 5 unlock codes per month.
The alternative is the overseas excuse, but I don't know the success rate of that excuse.
Generally the phone has to be 10 months old since release date and you need good standings.
The only exception is the iPhone.
Hope this helps =]

Alas, the question that is asked by many... finally answered.
People, please do NOT give in to scams such as these.
You can unlock your phone, for FREE by calling T-Mobile.
Dial in 611 and when prompted say "representative".
You will be prompted for the standard account authorization (last 4 digits of the primary account holders social), then be transfered to an eagerly awaiting T-Mobile customer representative, who will be more than willing to hand over an unlock code for you.
That's it. It's that simple.
As for unlocking in foreign countries, I'm not sure how that would work out for you guys. Get in contact with a T-Mobile customer in good standing, and I'm sure he can unlock it for you with no problems
Now that it's been posted, please STOP POSTING UP FAKE "HOW TO UNLOCK" TUTORIALS.
No one wants to buy your "new advanced revolutionary technique."
Knowledge is free.
Lol. Or yu could just flash jf's rc30.
Btw. One of the criteria for calling tmoh is that you have to have been with them for 3 months.
so i can call the # say representative my last 3 #s of my s.s.# and do i have to ask for 1 or do they just say it?

jf rc30 is not for sim unlocking which is using the g1 on other networks like att. etc..
To get an unlock code call 611 then ask for representative they will ask for the last 4 # on your ss thats is on file for that account. Then they will ask you why you want to unlock it just tell them your going out of county and you would like to use your phone there.
They will put the order in and it will take 24hr-14day because they submit it to htc.
They will need the imei of your g1 go get that number dail #06#
Thats what i did and i got my code in 2days free of charge.

1. Dial 611.
2. Say "English"
3. Say "Representative"
4. Say/Enter the last 4 digits of your social.
5. Wait for rep.
6. Tell the rep you're leaving the country and want to switch to one of the local networks over there while you're gone. (they might try to sell you a roaming plan, but emphasize the fact that you are going to be using a local SIM and they'll understand)
7. Rep will now guide you through unlocking your T-Mobile G1.

i rang up t-mobile (UK) and they said they charge £15 to have it unlocked!
Also when calling in to tmo for your free sim unlock code make sure your bill is paid up to date.
It's not a scam if you're not a t-mobile costumer. I don't understand why this keeps coming up. T-mobile won't just send me a free code since I'm on ATT.
T-Mobile has to send you a code, try calling 1-877-453-1304.
oops! double post- browser issues....
so t-mobile HAVE to provide you with an unlock code if you ring them? What about if you aren't a customer and bought the phone off ebay? Can you get a friend with a t-mobile contract to ring?
u know u dont have to think about this if u buy one in Vietnam? I got mine for $464 with unlock code provided right at the couter desk. Errrhh... Do i miss something?

I think there is a US law that's come into affect that all Carriers must allow customers to unlock there phone free of charge.
In the UK though carriers are allowed to charge and will.
If it is a UK phone then they don't need to give it free.. but if it is a US Phone you can call the US number or email them and get a free unlock code.

USA has a new law that requires all cellphone providers to unlock your phone (free of charge). It's your legal right to unlock your phone, in the United States.
UK may be different, and like I said, you may need to check with your local policies.

Legally, if you are a T-Mobile customer for 3 months (or just a customer in good standing), you have the right to unlock ANY (T-Mobile) phone you'd like.
Regardless how you got your hands on it, as long as it isn't stolen, you are guaranteed an unlock code.
This article explains a little more about unlocking laws. (It speaks mainly about the legality of unlocking, but is aimed at the iPhone)

if you buy a phone off ebay, you cannot get the code from T-Mobile. If you buy a phone at full cost with no discount (subsidy) for signing a contract, you can have the phone unlocked immediately.

Not true. T-Mobile has to unlock it. It is the law by the FCC that any phone you buy can and must be unlocked by the original company on request.
i have tried many places and none of them were able to provide unlock code for AT&T's X10a. but my last hope (the code) came in today and unlocked my X10a right away. am i the first one who has unlocked AT&T's version by code instead of cable?
edit: 12/18/2010
hi, guys
in order to get unlock code i need correct info to be filled out as a note/message, when you make payment at paypal.
please do not PM me with any info, it is very easy to lost track of PMs you are welcome to notify me about your donation though.
1. IMEI and S/N (serial number) under your battery
2. exact model and which network your phone is locked to
3. your XDA ID (to notify you when your code is ready)
4. i can only send code to paypal verified email address, the one when you register/make payment with paypal.
please note, it takes 7-10 days to get code.
thanks
Can you provide more info and/or explain more, thanks.

X10 Unlock
From my side.. it's three weeks that I'm trying to unlock this damn piece of cell phone, but no way.
At first I was quite confident wit cellunlockers.net, but after 10 days they refund my money saying -no way-.
Then I tried mobileincanada.com who where really very fast, they refunded my money after only 40 minutes
Last try with unlocking.com, after 10 days they were still looking for excuses, they did not find any code (on their web site they promise a next day solution!) so I asked for a refund, that they did not want to give me !!!
I opened a debate on paypal and after a couple of days I had my money back, but the cell phone is still locked..
So if anyone has a solution, please help ! AT&T supplies the unlock sequence (for free) only after 90 days from the purchase....
I too am having no luck with my X10 from AT&T so if theres not development I am going to go ahead and sell the phone....
Update: Got it Unlocked from Cellunlocker.net (Cable method)....

There is a 90 day waiting period. And even then, they can use the exclusivity clause and not give you the lock code.

Good morning
I dont know what device you bought, however, I bought mine from ATT (sim locked), and got the code from cellunlock for 19$ (with 50% off coupon), and it worked great. Im from Israel and already changed a cellular carrier, so I know for sure that my Atrix is now sim-free.
here is a link for the unlock site:
http://www.cellunlock.net/Default.asp
Hope it helps
I'd advise you to double check the IMEI before sending it to unlockers. It sounds like you've missed a number.
I bought a used phone,and get the unlock through at&t live chat,It didn't work first time, I refresh the gb rom, enter the unlock code, worked.

Hay man,
Here is a thought- from where you bought your Atrix? was it from a person or directly from ATT? The only possibility I can think of, as you said you double and triple checked the IMEI, is that the person who sold you the Atrix declared it stolen and ATT locked it (I know that in Israel it happens, why not in US as well... ), that is why your IMEI appears to be incorrect...

The device that you currently have is not eligible to be unlocked. AT&T is the exclusive carrier of the device and under the existing exclusivity agreement we are unable to provide the device unlock code. In addition, some devices for which AT&T Mobility has exclusive marketing rights are permanently excluded from unlocking obligation.

Called ATT customer support line and hit 0 a lot, got a guy on the phone and said I bought this phone, not in contract, out of exclusivity period and dont have an ATT account, can I get the code to unlock it so that I can use it where I want to...he took about 5 minutes and got me the code.
Phone is on a Tmobile network in my friend's hands right now.
I wouldn't pay some site online and give them your IMEI number. Just seems sketchy to me.
Yeah as people said just call AT&T why pay when they will do it for free, when my friend sent me my Atrix i had to call them from the UK To get it unlocked and it was pretty simple and painless
I did, i called at&t but he said he cant give the code and that i must let the person who bought the mobile ask the for the code..i bought this mobile from someone in Lebanon ..any hacking way to unlock it? I tried the unlocking sites they sent me code but none of them worked..can any call at&t for me plz and try to get me the code? I will be verry thankfull..thank u

You got lucky that AT&T gave you the code without you being their customer.
I tried it in the past with Verizon and they basically told me to bug off.
The general rule is that they give out unlock codes only to their customers after a couple of months since phone release date.
No contract phones at full price already come unlocked, so that excuse rarely works.
Anyway, some people still get lucky and get the code, but the majority isn't. It all depends on generosity of the customer rep.
I unlocked all my phones through online services, and there is nothing shady in your imei being requested, since the unlock codes get generated based on imei. AT&T will ask for you're imei as well in order to get the phone unlocked.

Agreed.
As to the OP's question of "is there a hack?", I assume that there is not. Those providing codes are likely paying insiders for some private key.
To the OP, why did the person you buy the phone from not get it unlocked? If he was an ATT customer who was in Lebanon it would have been a no-brainer to do such. And it would be free. I have had no issue at all unlocking my last 3 ATT phones (via ATT) so that I could travel internationally.
Think perhaps he might not be the rightfull owner?
I really do not like the entire "locked phone" concept, but given that it exists one should know how to avoid pitfalls. Do not buy locked phones from 3rd parties unless you know what you are doing.
Yea its th first time that i buy a locked fone..i loved the atrix thats why i bought it..neway thank i guyss..
