[Q] how do you think: will US streaks ever be unlocked?

so no one should beg att or dell for an unlock code?

I hope one day I can buy an unlock code online as I did for my t-mobile G1....
I am happy to pay for it.
All this SIM free stuff but still locked is really annoying.
The network provider should have a published fee for unlocking a phone.
Imagine buying a car that you could only drive on toll-roads; -)

Go on eBay and search for your phone model + unlock code. This will set you back up to $30 but you will get your code within 24 hours and voilà! You now can use your T-Mobile phone on at&t network.

The above can be done & does work just fine but i would call t-mobile before you did that. You can ask then to give you the unlock code for your phone so you can use on a different network & they'll give it to you free of charge.
I was able to get an unlock code for my old phone & it only took about 5 mins. I've heard someone say that they had problems doing this because the phone they wanted to unlock didn't have service with t-mobile any longer but i was able to have a phone unlocked that I hadn't used in a long time. Best bet is to try this 1st then go to ebay if they cant/won't do it. I have seen unlock codes as cheap as $10 for the hd2 but up to $25-$30.

I used it fore my HD2 just a day ago.
Use the tmobile general unlock for sale at $20 then put in the coupon ANDROID50
It will be $10. Got my code 4 hours later.

Just keep in mind you wont have 3g... you will be stuck at EDGE speeds, as their 3G bands are not compatible... so things like browsing or syncing contacts, etc, etc, etc will be awfully sllllooooooowwwwww....

worked great for me.

try a site called mobifreedom.net
cost £5 and unlock code in 5 mins.

I have done it for $2.89 on ebay. here is item:190583241256

Got the code less than hour

If its an ATT atrix, I got mine for free by just asking for it via online support chat.

Contact at&t for a sim unlock code or you could just buy one on the internet.

Yea I actually just unlocked an Atrix today. 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..
