Bought one from a friend and I'm trying to use it on AT&T...I know that I can have a friend call T-Mobile for an unlock code, or I can pay a site online for it...But I'm looking for something software related that would avoid both of those situations. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey guys,
Looking for some help here.
Im not sure if I can post such things.
I just purchased an AT&T Blackjack II, and need to unlock it.
Te catch is, Im not an AT&T customer.
Can anyone give me the PIN, so I can unlock this without having to pay someone?
I do appreciate any feedback, whether it's useful or not.
Thanks again

First of all, you can't just get a PIN from anywhere. Unlock Pins are created by using the IMEI number on the back of the phone. You can also see the number by dialing *#06# . You need to call ATT customer care and see if they will unlock it for you. They willa ask for the IMEI number. This is the catch though. Since you are not an ATT acct holder, they wont do it for you. You can however have a friend with ATT call and say that they just bought the phone via third party means and will be traveling international and need the device unlocked.
Option 2...
Find a reliable seller on e-bay that will provide you with an unlock code for a fee.
or option 3..... Search around xda and maybe you will come across something. I love to search, it make life so much easy because when you search you find what you are looking for, plus on top of that you find more stuff that you can come back to. Just a little hint and advice..... Anything is possible.
I just bought a cheap att android phone. Its the prepaid zte avail. I called att for an unlock code, and they said prepaid phones are not unlockeable. Anyone know if this is true? Thanks.
All phones are unlock-able, if could possibly specify your phone in more detail, then I could find a cheap site for you
It is a zte avail. Model z990. Thanks.
Figured it out.........
I have the same problem
You said you figured it out, what did you do, I have the same problem with my at&t avail.
I was trying to unlock it to port my number to straight talk. For that there is no need. So i didn't ever get it unlocked, but didnt need to.

Hi,
I'm hoping that someone can help me with this. I recently purchased Motorola EM326G from Net10 as a prepaid phone. I only needed it for my parents during their 2-weeks visit. Now that it's not needed anymore, I want to give it to my friend, who is using a half-broken phone because he cannot afford a better phone. He is on AT&T. So, naturally, I called Net10 and asked for the unlock code. Well, first of all, I spoke to like 4 people from there, and none of them seemed to truly understand what I was asking for. Even after I explained to them what the code was for, they just kept giving me BS answers such as "We don't have that feature" "We don't have the capacity to do that but you could call the manufacturer to see if they can do that for you." So, I called Motorola, and they told me that only Net10 was able to provide the unlock code, which I agree with. Motorola also confirmed for me that this phone could indeed be unlocked and that all it needed was the unlock code (it can't be done my ass Net10).
So, as you can see, I'm stuck, which is why I turn to you geniuses on XDA. I tried using those online paid unlock services, but they don't list Net10 in their provider lists. Can someone please help? Perhaps, if it's not possible to obtain the unlock code, is there a way to hack/root this phone or install a different firmware that may allow for it to be used with AT&T? I'd appreciate any help/advice I can get. I'd rather not just toss this phone when my friend can benefit from it.
Sincerely,
GT
Hi everyone and thanks for the time to read this.
So, recently I purchased a Galaxy S7 from a co-worker. After bringing it to my house I realized it was SIM locked to the T-Mobile carrier. He bought it already used and sold it to me, so I can't unlock trough the T-Mobile customer service.
After an extensive search on the web I found a few paid solutions (unlock sites, Chimera Tool, some android apps). But since I live in Brazil and not the US they end up costing three times their original value due to money conversion.
I found out that you can extract the unlock code from the phone itself through some softwares ( i.e Chimera Tool). So I ask you: there's a free way to do that? I appreciate any help, thx.
Tl;dr: Need a free way to unlock SIM without contact to carrier (T-Mobile)
HI.
I a having this same problem expect. I am however from the usa. I moved tmoblie has no service in new area. They refuse to unlock my model is sm-G930T. Please anyone with any odeals on this problem let me know...
After searching a lot I found a website that fixed the network lock for me. It was also cheaper than the competition. unblockmysamsung.com
It took only a couple days to fix and I did through Paypal so if it didn't worked I could have asked for a refund.
Unlock method
Hi, can you share how you/they unlocked your S7? I was suppose to avail or their service i dont want anyone to remotely access my computer. Did you root the phone or something? Is this something i can do for free or i really have to pay for their service? Thanks!
