So I was chatting with a dell support man and he said the Streak will be locked and AT&T won't be giving out unlock codes for the time being. I was wondering what are my options for trying to unlock it? Will rebel sims or anything similar work?
Anyone have thoughts/suggests on the US version if locked? Sort of seeming like even off contract they will still be locked to ATT. Wanted to use in Canada on Rogers/TELUS.
Whenever i need a phone unlocked i just call ATT. I've done this many times for a long time. I just call them up, say i'm going overseas for business, they'll pitch me the international data plan and i tell them i don't need that cuz i'm gonna use a local sim, give them the IMEI # and they tell me the unlock code. simple as that. I've done this for nokias, samsungs, motorolas and HTC devices.
Your account has to be in good standing though.
I was talking to a guy using their chat service and he said the Streak is going to be sold locked to AT&T and he said that AT&T isn't going to be giving out unlock codes like the samsung Captivate.
This is why I was asking about the sim addons because if AT&T doesn't give out the unlock code I doubt any of the online sites would have any to sell me.
Also koolin and myself live in Canada so we woudln't even have an account to be in good standing.

I don't think Dell will sell the locked version if you are willing to pay $549 US. The device itself is already network (3G) restricted to AT&T so if people really want the device they will have to sign up with AT&T @$299 US.
Who would then want to pay $549 US for a locked version?

Lots of folks are asking about the $549 version of #dellstreak. To be clear, it will not be unlocked. It is SIM-locked to AT&T.

The $549 version of #dellstreak is for existing AT&T customers who may want to switch to Streak or only want to use it as a Wi-Fi device.

Who knows who would buy it at 550 locked, surely not me unless we have an unlock.

Thanks for the updated info. I'm with you on this.
This is a sucidal business / marketing strategy going head to head against iPhone4 ... Streak soon become strike ... and then out.
Although I do indeed have ATT, I will not be purchasing another Streak untill Dell launches the unlocked Streak to the US. The last thing I want is ATT to have my device information such as IMEI number...
.
Well I just contacted two unlocking companies here in Canada. MobileInCanada said "Sorry no", and SNTraders said "most likely yes" ...need device to confirm.
So who wants to risk it
edit - to add SNTraders said they would be importing and selling as well but no date/price yet.

Unlocking is definitely already possible but who can do it? I'm using a Dell Streak right now in Toronto with Rogers. Am I missing something here? Were all Beta Streaks unlocked to begin with?
Yes the Beta Streaks were unlocked but the new ones coming out are going to be locked ot AT&T. But this thread isn't about if it is locked (it is for sure) but about what can we do to unlock the Streak once it hits the streets.

You realize that unlocked or not, if you're using a phone on the AT&T network, they automatically know your IMEI number.
I got the same next week for unlocked version
I also chatted yesterday with Dell
I got the same "next week" for the unlocked version of the US streak,
also they said that if you have a presale code it will be honored next week, so you get the $0.99 headset
Hope it's true

Yes I realize that. But does ATT know which IMEI numbers go to which device? If all of these locked versions have their IMEI numbers registered as a Streak to ATT, don't you think ATT will try to charge a 'smart-phone data-rate' specifically for the device?
I still have the basic phone unlimited data plan for ATT from several years ago. I would not want to mess that up with costs of mobile bandwidth these days.

I was all excited about this news and then I realized that the Dell Agent was too polite .. this is NOT a USA agent, right? this is NOT USA Dell, I suspect.
I noticed yesterday when giving several agents at Dell the 3rd degree about T-Mobile, they didn't say "The phone is locked to AT&T." They said "Dell only supports AT&T."
Maybe that was wishful thinking on my part ...

IF THE ABOVE IS CORRECT?
I was going to return my Streak unopened tomorrow, but if this above is correct, I think I will put my Tmobile sim in there JUST IN CASE and test it ... maybe they are all unlocked and Dell is CLUELESS .. What would be the point of having both locked and unlocked? When you order the sales person says "you want it LOCKED or UNLOCKED..." Makes no sense ..

I think you'll cost yourself a restocking fee (if they do that on opened product) as I'll bet anything it's locked, and the reps just don't know what they're saying.
Dell isn't a phone company, they don't really understand all the locked/unlocked on contract/off contract stuff.
Just my two cents...
called now DELL, a guy prob from India, told me that there will be no streak unlocked, huh, so prob we have to get the unlock code from at&t
I have a friend who has an AT&T Store. I spent 2 hours with him today while he called AT&T techs and customer service. They say they cannot provide the unlock code because the IMEI number is not in their computers. They said Dell needs to provide the unlock. So my friend got AT&T and Dell on a conference call. Dell said they cannot unlock the phone. They do not have a way of getting unlock codes . CALL AT&T .. AT&T says "I am AT&T .. the IMEI is not in my system."
My friend was saying to AT&T that "there is a customer in my store who wants to travel with her phone and needs it unlocked for travel in other countries." AT&T would FOR SURE have given an unlock code if the IMEI was in their computer.
So what's next? I put mine on eBay and if it doesn't sell I will return it Monday.
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?
I have one T-Mobile version 8G dell venue pro for 3 weeks (from ebay), but need unlock code to use it in other network. I tried to ask code from dell unlock request code group, but they said cannot provide it since it's a retail version. So I placed order from one ebay seller and then another, but both couldn't get code for me. Then I submitted order in unlockallcellular.com, but they said so after 2 days.
Can anyone help me out of this problem? Where can buy an unlock code by searching in direct DB or cauculating method or software method LIKE fastgsm.com(they said they can only cauculate Samsung Focus). Thank you sooooooo much.

If dell doesn´t provide the unlock key I think you need to take a contract with T-mobile.
Or wait 2 days.

I assume you want a carrier unlock? IE you use another sim than the one that was provided? If so then...
email [email protected] and say this:
Hi, I am travelling outside the US, and I need an unlock code
My IMEI is: _____________ (your imei)
Thanks!
______________________________
The IMEI is found under your battery. Also make note of the service tag as they will probably want that too.
If your trying to sideload apps, then I hear the Chevron tool works great.
yes, I've sent mail to dell. They said it's a retail item, cannot give code.

you might have to call them then... I still havent recieved a response, and meanwhile I already travelled to the UK, so I am phoneless. Cheapest cheap phone here is 20pounds, but Virgin Mobile gave me a free SIM card to try out so I think I will have a friend in the States call them and give em my info so I can get this unlocked promptly. Their mobile support number that you should call would be 1-800-308-3355
Same problem
Hi there
I am having the same problem, did you get this resolved?
Thanks
im having the exact same problem here. even worse, i figured getting the unlock code would be pretty easy so i swapper out the 8gb card for a 32gb sd card which means the warranty us no good anymore and i cant send it back to the ebayer i bought it from.
i got in touch with dell anyway, same thing, its a retail device to contact tmobile.
but its not possible at the moment because i need to know the phone number of the sim card that came with it to sign up to the tmobile website, and i cant find out the number.
so does anybody have an email address for tmobile i could use it would be a great help?

Successfully unlocked my phone
Communicated with Shallow Blue to obtain unlock code for my windows phone and was pleased with the service. Quick and accurate. One code worked first time for a fair fee.
Since I travel a fair bit, I usually only buy unlocked phones.. but this time I got a locked Note 4 so I'm looking a place to unlock it.
I came across this for the note 3

I've used cellunlocker on most of my devices in the past and I used it again for my Note 4 but for some reason, it took them about a few days to get my unlock code because they said they weren't able to get it for due to some database issue. They said they would issue me a refund. After the 5th day, they eventually were able to get my unlock code.
Note 4 (Vodafone UK)
I can confirm
that www.cellunlocker.net
yesterday after 8 hours sent me the NCK
for my Note 4 (Vodafone UK)
so finaly I can use any SIM card from now!
The price for this was $39.99 (£27.19)
which is great
compared to North London street guys (£40-£45)
or to Vodafone (£19.90)
who was unable to give me this code
because they don't have it for my IMEI in their database!!!
Well done www.cellunlocker.net
Good job, I am happy.
I just purchased a code for my Vodafone Ireland Galaxy Note 4 because I also travel a lot, so I'm hoping for the best! I'll report back
I unlocked my EE PAYG Note 4 yesterday for £8.99 (the unlock code was bought from EE) it is now unlocked I have a vodafone sim working in it. However, the 3g/4g is not currently working and I do not know why??? I even went into the vodka shop and the guy has just swapped the sim but I really do not know what is happening. We suspect that vodafone had updated it computer systems and I have come into logger heads with it; or my ee software on the note 4 is causing the problem??

Look up the Vodafone (UK I assume) 4g APN on their website as that might be the reason you're not getting 4g. I know my provider has a specific APN for 4g.
Also, enjoy your vodka.
My problem is a little more complicated at the Vodafone server end as they are having difficulties even giving me a working sim card, as my phone number has become corrupted as I swapped my sim card in the shop, this is viewable on my phone info where I have no phone number visible and when I go through voda help line my mobile number is not recognised. It is a complete mess, but I will be receiving a new sim this week and by that time my PAC should have swapped over and hopefully it will all be fixed????
Purchased mine on OfferUp. Was told paid off but two months later when I requested unlock from T-Mobile, Rep told me there is still balance on it. Could anyone recommend a reliable and safe unlock service for the T-Mobile 6t?

It seems to me your phone has been blacklist by Tmo for an unpaid account so I dont think any of the sim unlock services can do anything about it. Is your phone working with Tmo network now?

Well, the balance is not on my account, I can't do anything about it. T-Mobile don't even want me to pay it off since I don't know whose account it was belong to
My main carrier is ATT. I wish I could use the rebranding method to get it sim unlock but I guess I am out of luck
As long as the balance is not paid off, you don't own the phone, T-mobile does. If and when the original owner stops paying it, you're screwed. Btw, T-mobile has a tool to check the IMEI and balance status: https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
I think you got scammed.

In the thread for converting a T-Mobile to International. Someone used cellunlocker and said it worked, here is the post. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78691393&postcount=645
He made a couple of post after that one answering questions about the service.

Unfortunately I got scammed (I'll tell you at the end why lol) as well. I knew the phone had a balanced on it because it was my cousins and he assured me he would pay it off. He was just a little tight with money right now so I went for it. I knew I couldn't get it unlocked since it had a balanced owed. There's a thread on here to sim unlock. Wasn't very difficult to do but you have to convert it to international rom first just like the previous post said. It took me less than 30 minutes to do it. After 8 months ..Welp, he didn't pay it off! The guy totally changed his number and blocked me on social media which I thought was funny. Moral of the story **** happens and never assume they will pay it off.
