$20 is a great deal when that is your only option. I used ebay to unlock my shadow. It took a little longer than normal but they eventually got me the code. I think it took 5 days total. I used the $20 one as well. Just pay the money because a free solution will probably never come.

Can you post the link please?

Any 1 can provide LG G2X Unlock Code ?

Any 1 knows from where i can get lg g2x unlock code ? i am new here waiting for your response ....
why not call/email T-mobile?
It depends. If you bought it directly from a T-Mobile store you can call them up or email them for the unlock code. They'll ask you for a proof of purchase. If you don't have an account with T-Mobile, AND you purchase it at some other retailer they won't give you the unlock code. This happened to me. T-Mo absolutely refused to honour my purchase through amazon, add that to the fact that I don't have a number with T-Mo, they were very stubborn to not give me the code, even though I bought it for full price.
So, I went online an purchased a code from unlockthatphone.com It's like $15 added to $510 (no tax+free shipping) from Amazon I thought it was a pretty good deal too.

There are lots of 3rd party unlock sources that charge about $10 for it. If you have Tmo and your account is in good stand for 3 months then they send you the code for free.
Pm me< I can help you to get the code

Actually if you pay full price they won't even wait for three months, you'll get it immediately. My problem is that I don't have an account with T-Mo at all. I'm moving out of the US, and the O2X costs way more than the G2X.
Thanks

Call tmo for the code or spend 3 bucks for unlock code.
Sent from my Calculator with Android.
where do you buy the code? I called T-mo, and they said they would send me an email in up to 8 days. It's currently 14 days later.
--For the record, I have searched the internet, and ended up wasting over 40 bucks trying to unlock a Touch Pro, which when purchased the guy claimed it was unlocked.

Call T-Mobile again tell them your about to leave like tomorrow or in 2 days work something out with them. If not try a trusted website and read comments before going ahead and purchasing an unlock code. Just giving small tips sorry I don't know any website off the top of my head.

I purchased an unlocking service from ebay when I bought mine in May. Took less than a day for them to process the order and send me my unlock code. Worked like a charm. I paid $10 but just checked and the seller I bought from has lowered their price to like $4.
Here's a link to the one I bought:

Got mine for 3bucks few weeks back, now its 3.88. It works for me.

[Q] Where to buy in UK?

Where did many of you buy your O3D from in the UK?
Looking on network sites I could only find 3, Tmobile and Orange offering the phone so far and all 3 of them on their websites say "coming soon".
I got mine from Handtec,they are UK based.
Got mine from earphone warehouse , should be available through orange direct in the next 2 weeks
I got mine from Carphone Warehouse aswell.
Try popping into the stores of the various networks rather than checking the websites. You might find the stores have it in stock even if the websites don't.
Tesco Mobile are also doing it too I believe.
I got my from http://www.mobiles.co.uk
they've good deals, usually better than carphone
Got mine from the link below free phone £25.54 a month with 600 mins and 500 texts and unlimited internet and you get £10 cash back also, this is the best deal I have seen, also looked at mobiles.co.uk but they wanted £99 for the phone on the same sort of deal.
www.buymobilephones.net/mobile-phon...e/T-Mobile-25-(24mths)-inc.-Internet/10035998
I also had a issue with my phone after trying lcd density on it played up after a few days and wouldn't boot up , I sent it back to them and I had a replacement phone sent out the next day, great service, but if you after sim free not sure.
double post sorry, couldn't find how to delete

I got from there also but chose the 18 month contract instead of 24 as I did not need that many minutes and it works out a lot cheaper in the end, even though I had to pay £29.99 up front.
Would have been cheaper still but I was in such a rush to order I forgot to check if they were on Quidco, which of course they are.
Thanks guys for the links, have to admit some great deals!
buymobilephones.net seems to have the best deal however mobiles.co.uk are slightly more expensive because the phone is apparently unlocked.
An unlock isn't an issue for me yet but what about after the contract? Would I be able to request from say tmobile an unlock? I heard they must give this to you by law once your contract expires?
And speaking of unlock, is there a software unlock out for this device yet? Would be very handy to get it on contract and then unlock it via software or something
My phone from buymobilephones.net was unlocked and the original I sent back was unlocked also and no branding on either, they don't lock phones there am sure others will say the same thing.
Just as a test for you I am on T-Moible and just put a O2 pay as you go sim in and it works fine.
The buymobilephones.net phones are not locked as far as I am aware. There is no T-Mobile stuff on the one I have.
Pete
Yes same with me phone is unlocked (tryed 3 sim), only mod i noticed was the homepage was set to t-mobile in the browser.
I purchased mine from http://www.gummobile.com/phones/LG_Optimus_3D_P920_Sim_Free.aspx
both carphone warehouse and phones 4 u have it here to buy...

Both the more expensive option buymobilephones.net is still the best offer around.
I bought mine from Carphone warehouse yet there's no mention of T-Mobile branding anywhere on the box or on the phone's software. I might see if I can borrow an O2 sim card tonight just to try it out and see if it really is locked or not.

AT&T wouldn't give me the unlock code???

So this is weird...
I travel out of the country a lot for work, so I called AT&T asking for the unlock code and their response was "Sorry the Atrix 2 is an AT&T Exclusive, and we see that you just renewed your contract yesterday, so we can't provide you with the code"
I'm very confused? I've been an AT&T customer for a number of years - NEVER been late on a payment, and I JUST renewed my contract for 2 years. I don't have any plans of leaving AT&T, so I don't get whats going on?
I see that I can buy the unlock code for $25, but I figured AT&T would be cooperative with this? Any ideas or experience guys?
Thanks!

They won't give anyone an unlock code, but you can buy one off ebay cheap enough or other websites. They want to sell you international travel plans, not allow you to use a sim card for that country!
According to this original Atrix thread, people were calling and AT&T was giving them the unlock code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288194
AT&T will give you the unlock code .. you must have the phone in your possession for 6 months from the time you renewed.
And this is to unlock the bootloader?
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
Believe he is talking about the sim unlock
iirc you gotta wait 30 days after getting the phone to have it unlocked (or was that t-mobile?)

Many thanks!
I had asked for it and was told no, but I'll try again in 6 months. I travel and having the sim unlocked is what I need. You saved me some cash, thanks!
Thanks guys! Six months seems like an awfully long time LOL whatever, guess I just have to wait!
You do NOT have to wait 6 months, you have to wait 30 DAYS. They don't want you unlocking the phone inside of the 30 day window. So wait 30 days and call back. If you get a no, hang up and call back in 15 minutes until you get a yes.
Go find unlock seller on ebay
You can search ebay for " motorola atrix 2 unlock " or " atrix 2 unlock " you will find alot of sellers that can sell you the code for around $20

The coupons only applies to these phones listed. How did you guys buy the phones to get the discount? Also does this only work with 2-year contract or can it work with EDGE? And what's the BOGO deal?

I added mine at checkout and it automatically adjusted the price.
I bought it at store with the bogo. They weren't able to apply either of those promotions.

oh wow, woops thank you!
I just ordered the M8 as an upgrade with a new 2 yr contract. i made this order over the phone, is it still possible to utilize this promo code and get refunded on the difference?
You can cancel the order and make a new one. They won't price match it just because of the coupon
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Not sure how many others know about this, but this is what i plan to do. i only want the 1 M8, but with the BOGO, it doesnt make sense not to buy it. I'm just gonna add a line to my current account to get the free (+$100 for new line activation) and then switch that 2nd phone off and put a basic phone on. The cheapest plan they have is $15 a month, so thats 360$ for the life of the contract.
I had my one M8 ordered then saw this BOGO, so i called and cancelled the shipment. Hopefully it returns soon so i can reorder.
According to Droid life it looks like you can also use "VERIZON30" 30% off or "VZWDEAL" to get $50 dollars off

I seen this after ordered phone. It just showed up and I called Verizon and they gave me 30 percent off the phone credit on next bill. Thank you very much. 60 dollars is worth alittle wait.

I'm guessing this can't be used on retail price purchases? I tried it yesterday and it did work, but when I went to make payment the website booted me with :
We're Sorry!
We're sorry! The transaction you are attempting is not available online at this time. If you feel you have reached this message in error, please call us at (800) 922-0204.
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and would very much like to help you resolve this issue.
Ever since, none of the codes work on the retail price.. 50 bucks less would have been nice, but the 30% off would have been even nicer.
So do these coupons only work for 2-year contract then? Anyone done an EDGE plan or full purchase?

Wondering the same thing. I bought it full price $599. Would like to know if it would have worked before I call and try to get a credit.
