Has anyone figured out how to carrier unlock it yet?

Order an unlock code on ebay. It is avaliable just about anywhere.

not so fast
I attempted to order an unlock for my ATT i9505 from a popular unlocking website. They were unable to provide the service and had to refund my money. If you want to attempt this at this early stage, use an unlocking service with a refund policy until more is known.

Eventually this will be sorted. However it's still very early... Patience is a virtue.

Yes I have. I posted it earlier somewhere. Www.fastgsm.com did it for me. Took them 24hrs $29.99 but they refund you $20 if you upload video of yourself doing it. 100% works and I did it on a upgraded line.
It was for i337 att but they have a few galaxy s4 options im sure one of them will work just ask them.

Motorola can Unlock Bootloaders all they want to, main problem there is AT&T Interfering and Locking the Bootloader by Default even if Moto themselves left it Unlocked.

Yep the bootloaders are more about carriers locking them up. I'm guessing AT&T wasn't too happy about the unlocked being leaked from Motorola, and hopefully the guy that leaked it didn't get into too much trouble...

Nope had it, but I don't spend all day searching for interesting things. Not enough time in the day for that.

Why is that? You'd think they'd supply unlocked bootloaders easily instead of sim unlock codes. Unlocked bootloader means we can just flash different roms vs unlocked sim means we can leave AT&T, correct?

Wow... OP must be a very slow reader because an unlocked bootloader has been stickied in the dev forums since late June.
Thread closed to prevent additional flaming at the OP.
So I've been debating on switching over to the S3, but I have grandfathered T-Zones. So in order to take full advantage of the AWS data speeds without getting the upsell message, I need to get the Wind Mobile T999V (Canadian model). I've searched high and low, no luck . Checked eBay... nada. Checked Google, even checked wind mobile's website...they don't ship to the USA. I'm soo sad. I've been wanting to jump on the S3 party for a while. If anyone knows where I can get the t999V, I will love you forever! Please help

I'm going to buy the AT&T S4. I was wondering if I can get it unlocked since I'm playing the no contract price.
Or if there is any way to unlock since I plan to use it on tmobile in a few months.
They'll probably have you fill out a form after 90 days.

Not true you can call them and get the unlock code. Ive done so from overseas with the s3 since I paid out right or you can purchase an unlock code.
This was done within 90 days of purchase for sure.

When I bought the S3 off contract I just went into the AT&T chat and they gave me the code a day after I bought it.

You could try using the free method posted on the forums here but it is not guaranteed to work. Your other option is to purchase an unlock code for $5-20 and be done with it.
I personally just bought a code.

I needed to get one unlocked, I managed to convince Telus to sell me the unlock code for $35. I was not in the mood to try the third party websites.
Your mileage may vary in convincing Telus to unlock the device.
I tried all the free methods with no luck so I took it in and got it unlocked for $30.

Those of you who were unable to participate in the $50 promo due to the abuse of others, you can contact Prizelogic and they may provide you a code.
I sent them an email and after verifying I was a legit owner (they'll send specific proof requirements), I was sent my $50 code.
Even though the other threads were locked I thought it would be good to give us actual owners one more shot at the credit we were supposed to get.

How weird. I did originally email them while the promo was still going, but they followed up to my email after the site said it was over. They sent me the $50 code a couple days ago.
I suppose this is very YMMV. Sorry to get your hopes up, but it's worth a shot.
