[Q] The Streak Order Page Looks Unlocked to Me !!!

What do you see? Here is my screenshot in case the page disappears. I see that it should be UNLOCKED but you get an additional discount if you sign with AT&T, right?

I went through the entire thing .. stopped before paying .. it NEVER says ANYTHING about AT&T only.
Maybe there are unlocked units out there for sale. Going to try and buy one and get the discount ...
THIS WAS THE FIRST PAGE I WENT TO I am typing this and now it says "early sign up no longer available." but I have completed everything EXCEPT, paying for it. The price changed back to $549 .. but still .. Shouldn't it be unlocked ??
Here is the ORDER LINK that does NOT say it is LOCKED .. If you began your order from there you never saw anything about LOCKED ... Couldn't you tell them UNLOCK MY PHONE NOW !!!

This was the second page .. still .. does not say ATT ONLY ... I got that order page from a Dell guy on Twitter ..

I think its still locked. I dont think Dell is legally obligated to spell out that the Streak is locked on every page. If it wasnt, it would be all over the net by now. Would be cool if it were true though. Try it and see

One more thing and I will shut up ..
I ordered from here - So did others that thought they were getting an unlocked phone for $549 ...

There was another order link ... That was for the AT&T only people ..
http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/mobile-streak?c=us&l=en&s=dhs
OK .. I am done .. I have traded my AT&T locked Streak for an UNLOCKED Beta. I am happy. STILL .. I want to speak to Dell again .. I feel that they owe me ..

I think some SPECIAL PEOPLE got the unlocked version. I really do. If anyone is thinking of ordering .. try ordering from there... Can't hurt.

Why don't you just return it back to dell and either get your money back or a credit to use when they sell the unlocked version later this week, month or whenever. I have a Texas beta and ordered one of these for my son thinking it was unlocked. I am just going to call them on monday get an RMA and send it back. No Harm, No Foul. If you need an unlocked one right now go to Ebay...What special people do you mean? The people in Texas, or just random special people other than you?

#1 Why don't I get an RMA and send it back ?? I spent 3 hours on the phone today trying to get an RMA. After being on the phone for 40 minutes and then getting transferred to the FINAL person I needed to speak with about the RMA I was on hold for 7 minutes and it disconnected. When I called back and spent I don't know how long with them I got to the Sales Return Specialist .. She said someone will call me back and discuss this with me within 48 hours. You may find that hard to believe but you will see for yourself what it is like calling Dell for anything.
#2 Special People. Everyone got an email saying CLICK HERE to pre-order your Dell Streak. On that page it says the phone is locked to AT&T .. On Twitter someone posted a Pre-Order link .. A different one. When I showed that link to one of those "chat support" people I said .. Was I or was I not on a UNLOCKED Streak order page. He went from the beginning next >> next >>> to the end and he agreed. My phone should be UNLOCKED ordering from there.
So that has nothing to do with Dell putting a disclaimer on every page. That order link was for an unlocked phone ..
I told my friend with the Beta to hold off a bit .. I am either going to get a Dell UNLOCKED Streak, not Beta, or I am going to return my phone and forget it. That is if I can get an RMA number .. Good luck getting yours. And yes, I totally believe there are people who got unlocked phones .. but I was not one of them ..

About 10 minutes on the phone, RMA issued and Prepaid UPS shipping labels emailed to me so I do not have to pay for that! They tried to get me to keep it by giving me $50.00 back, but have Tmo so I said no go.
See No harm No foul...easy. Good Luck!

Just finished talking to someone name Shaquellar in the Dell Mobility department. She confirmed that the unlocked Streaks will be out this week and she also said "we don't have a way of giving you an unlock code today but we will a little later this week." maybe if enough people call and speak to them in DELL MOBILITY they will put a rush on it .. But you gotta get to the Mobility department .. sales or orders are NO HELP AT ALL.

[tip] best way to get AT&T to give up a micro sim without asking too many questions

[tip] best way to get AT&T to give up a micro sim without asking too many questions
yeah, sorry to dedicate a whole post to this, its not such an important thing that it needs a thread of its own, but i think its something pretty important, and itll fall back to the later pages if others dont find it important enough to comment on, so i guess no worries.
if youre coming from pretty much any other phone youll have a normal SIM card. but if youre getting an SGSIII youll need a Micro SIM. now the tricky part is getting AT&T to give it up, without asking too many questions, and trying to get you to change plans (cause nobody wants to give up their $10/month unlimited data for a $30 limited, right?).
heres what worked for me
well speaking from experience, i tossed a few ideas around in my head, till i came up with one i decided to use, and without a hitch, AT&T gave up the microsim for my phone on a Media Net data plan.
1 first off, go into a store in person, dont order over the phone. AT&T call centers have a lot more pull over what goes on than an in store salesman.
AT&T authorized retailers have the least pull of all, since theyre only licensed to sell phones, they dont work for AT&T directly, and are least likely to care about corporate affairs. how can you tell the difference between a corporate store, and an authorized retailer? well authorized retailers normally dont have real display phones, but rather plastic models. however calling the AT&T store and asking them if theyre a corporate store or not will be the best and easiest way to save you a drive.
2 what i did, was explain to them that i bought a sim to micro sim adapter, so that i can more easily travel abroad, and use foreign simcards, because in japan, microsims are the new standard, and that for now i want to use get a micro sim, so i can keep my adapter inside the phone. i brought in a flip phone, and they checked the IMEI number, and gave me a brand new Micro Sim!!
its important to note theyre allowed to charge $30 dollars for a sim replacement, but if youre nice and friendly, theyll usually give it up for free, at least the times ive gone in they have.

I guess I don't follow.... we're pre-ordered, we'll get a Micro SIM for the phone when it arrives, they're not going to let us walk out without one to use in the phone, right? Furthermore, I think you forgot a step 3, which is to activate it over the phone with Customer Care or in store once the SGSIII arrives

Or you could just have a sim cutter shipped to your door for 5 bucks and not have to go out of your way at all.

The OP's statements were in regards to the international version, not the variants like your preorder.

Man... Sim cutters online are like 3 dollars...

I just walked in and said I want a micro sim. She asked to see my phone. She said micro sim won't work in it. I said i have this adapter. She said ok, scanned new sim, and gave it to me. I popped it in and was good to go. Ready for my S3.

Where do u live? Lol I've done this 100 times. They don't charge ****. And u don't have to say all that bs u just say I NEED A MICRO SIM CARD. Lol done. No charge. U have to go to a corporate store that's it

Yeah, you really don't have to jump through any hoops to get a microSIM card. Just go in and tell them you need one.

Thank you for this information. I plan to do just that to try and get a new micro sim card for my upcoming purchase of a Samsung Note 2. AT&T thinks I am using an old flip phone right now with unlimited data and I sure don't want them ot switch me over to a new plan.
Like some poeple said it may not be necessary to have a 'story' ready but thanks for providing a good one just in case.

htc evo 4g = threatens voicemail

I recently sold a metropcs andriod smartphone to an white man early today, he went to metropcs store and pay the $50 monthly bill to get the phone working. 2 hour later he called me and told me that metropcs internet is very slow and ask for his money back because he is very frustrated and angry. White man who is an AT&T iphone user and totally brainless about smartphone because the only phone he know how to used is a iphone. I told him no on the refund part, so he left some threatens voicemail that he going come to my house and do sh** to me, well he actually don't know where I live, he might go to metropcs store and get my address from them and come threatens me. Should I call the cops on his ass if he really do come and threatens me...lol..
Can anyone give me some inputs on this subject, the phone number that the white guy pay to activate is under my name, will he be able to obtain my information such as house address from metropcs? Will metropcs disclose my information to the white guy? if metropcs do disclose my information to the white guy and he came to my house to do whatever he say he was going to do to me then can I file a lawsuit and take metro to court for violating my right? I don't want to meet him again and give him a refund because he threatens me with some crazy voicemail..lol..

dude, wtf? is this a serious post?
There should be no reason any carrier can activate a phone under someone else's identity unless they have your permission, account info, etc. Did you sell someone an active phone?
If you are truly concerned with this and this is a real statement, then call Metro and have them cancel the account. If it is under your name, then you should have no issues doing so. Then have them remove your information from this account. You may have to do this yourself, I sold a phone under Virgin mobile and I called them and had them remove my info from the account. They may ask you if you are sure, lol but just say yes...
Dont ever sell an active phone...Always delete all personal information from the phone before selling it and reset it back to stock...

My card keeps getting declined.
I tried using my TD Visa Debit Card, - It Declines.
So I tried using my Fathers VISA Credit Card
It declines as well.
I live in Canada.
I have purchased many apps from the google Play store using my TD Visa Debit card no problem.
I don't know what to do

"Declined"? I would suggest you call your financial institution and alert them of your purchase. Are you entering the same/ correct billing and shipping address as on your cc files?

You can't buy a device from Google Play (U.S.) and have a delivery address outside of the US. Apps are different as they are not physically mailed out.

I had this as well when I first tried to order - just call up your bank to authorize the transaction, as they're probably blocking the transaction due to fraud measures.
I'm with Santander, and they're very cautious - I had to call them and give security details before they would allow the transaction.

I don't think it's available yet on the Canadian Google Play so that's why I thought he was trying to buy it on the U.S. site.

It's available in US and Canada and Germany and now UK stores.

Make sure the delivery address is the same as the address on the credit card as that could be a reason its denied. And if your using your Father's CC then the order would have to be in his name, with his billing address info (if different from yours) as Visa would deny it if it was in your name not the name of the person on the credit card.

I called Google and they pushed it through. They said it was an error in their system.
Got it working with my dad's credit card.

I'm in Canada. I just called Google customer service and they manually pushed the order through for me. It was some security thing on their end. that blocked the order from initally going throuhg.

WOW, they said it couldnt go through cause my shipping and billing address's arent the same? But my billing adress is a PO box so i literally cant make them be the same. This feels wierd. Especially because it asked for the shipping and the billing, its like, if they have to be the same why have me fill both of them out? I buy things online a lot, probably too much, and have never ever ran across this issue.

Yeah, which is fine and fair, its cause UPS wont ship to them, thats normal. Most my purchases i cant ship to my po box and thats fine. But this is the first time a place wont let me buy without shipping to my billing adress, which is a po box.
But thanks for the comments guys, my sister ended up being nice enough to purchase it on her credit card and ship to her house, so i got it

[Droid Turbo 2] BL-unlocked XT1585 is being sold on taobao.com, so there's a way?

I ordered a Droid Turbo 2 from Motorola yesterday. Before that I searched on taobao.com( I think you guys should have heard of it) and found BL-unlocked Turbo 2 being sold.

I asked the seller about the bootloader thing and she told me that these phones were not unlocked by her. These phones came in with BL unlocked and she doesn't know how to unlock the bootloader.
So I assume that there's a way to unlock it and we just haven't find it, right?

We are ready to pay .. Of some one found the codes or method.. Last time we did the same in case of droid maxx by paying 45$ ..

If a method truly has been found that would be great, however there could be a not so great explanation as well:
1. Unlocked by a Motorola Employee using official software/hardware.
2. Fake Droid Turbo 2's. Someone mentioned that the price for these was pretty low, so its possible these are just knockoffs that are unlockable. I mean... You know.... China....
Still I hope its legit and the person is willing to sell the method, or perhaps reverse engineering the exploit would be possible even if unlikely.

I bet on #1 being the case.

Do they have Verizon Wireless in China? It is an exclusive VZW phone. If they do not have Verizon there then maybe its where it is built? If no to both it might be a fake. China is starting to get scarily good at knockoffs lately.

Droid turbo 2 is factory unlocked .. So it can use anywhere .. I'm using here in India with local CDMA / GSM networks .. So ..

We're talking about bootloader unlock, not SIM unlock...

So here's the deal. I'm willing to put up the cash to buy one cause the selling price is sort cheap. I'll pay via PayPal and so if it's scammy wammy timey wimey, I'll have buyer protection. My Chinese coworker can help me navigate the site tomorrow. Then after a billion years whatever it is will arrive here in NYC from China. Now, if, and that's a big If, if it's really a BLUL DT2, that will mean I have a second phone with an unlocked bootlader. I am the guy who googles for how to do basic stuff. Among my family I'm the tech guy, but were a family of artists. The last time I did any programming was basic on a PC in 1992, so, I have no means of transforming this hypothetical bootlader unlocked phone into an unlock/root method for the community.

OK Google was giving me bad price translation. This is about $700.00 USD so legit price range, but realizing this its too much for me to risk the cash. I was thinking this was about $38 dollars US. Google converted for Japanese vs Chinese yen from USD and I didn't catch that first pass.

So here's the deal. I'm willing to put up the cash to buy one cause the selling price is sort cheap. I'll pay via PayPal and so if it's scammy wammy timey wimey, I'll have buyer protection. My Chinese coworker can help me navigate the site tomorrow. Then after a billion years whatever it is will arrive here in NYC from China. Now, if, and that's a big If, if it's really a BLUL DT2, that will mean I have a second phone with an unlocked bootlader. I am the guy who googles for how to do basic stuff. Among my family I'm the tech guy, but were a family of artists. The last time I did any programming was basic on a PC in 1992, so, I have no means of transforming this hypothetical bootlader unlocked phone into an unlock/root method for the community.

There is one option for $478, 32gb-unlocked but doesn't say if it's New, the other options are in like new condition.

Seems fishy.
Price is to low. And the pic they show is of a device made with moto maker. Im guessing knock off. The screen on that phone looks lower res. Could be the pic but it dont look right to me.

my guess is that these were internal development/test models. There are usually a few that leak out here and there from Motorola with every new phone release.

We can hope some one I'll unlock the bl
