Well, I'm not an AT&T user, despise them to be honest, but bought 2 Fuzes off eBay that were still locked.
Not necessarily a problem... so I thought.
I called AT&T, told them I'm not a customer, told them I purchased the phones off eBay, and asked if they'd give me the Unlock Codes. Well, normally the process would cost (for non-customers), but me being Military, she worked around the Pay-to-unlock system (so she said).
She input my information and created a fake customer account, pretty much, so she could create a case for the requests. Well, as soon as she finished inputting the information, she looked for the codes for my IMEI numbers, and found some odd results.
She found the phones in the system, but there were no unlock codes present. She put me on hold and did god knows what, came back and said the same thing.
Assuming that she was being honest, if there are no actual Unlock codes for the phones, would it still be possible to Unlock them? Software or Code purchased from a third party?
She gave me a Case-Number to call so I could check at a later time, as well as verified my email so they could contact me. Not sure what to do in this situation.
Any answers would help. Thanks in advance.
I unlocked my Fuze that someone had given me (I'm in Australia) using one of the internet Unlocking services. Worked fine, but did cost me $20 or so. Thread here where I think I listed the service I used near the end...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_SIMUnlock
how to unlock Touch pro
As someone already pointed out - for 20 bucks you can use a 3rd party service.
Interesting that those two Fuze IMEI are not in the ATT database - wonder if that means the units were reported stolen???
Used Olis Unlocker for one, success.
Just got an email today from AT&T for the other one, success.
Neither stolen, both were Registered with AT&T by the previous owner, then un-registered via phone service as he told them he had intent to sell them. Thus they weren't in the IMMEDIATE system, they were on file, but the Technical & Billing departments of AT&T were the only ones with access unless requested.
Everything is good though.

I bought a D2G at eBay. I love it but I live in Hungary and I can't unlock it. Can anybody unlock it for me in USA by VZW Support if I pay every cost of unlocking (and plus money for helping)? It has clean ESN. I can send it to USA if it's required.
Please somebody help me!

You can buy a TurboSim off ebay item #200539432676 and it should work.
TurboSIM
Thank you for your advice, but I read it has few problems with D2G, so I want to unlock it by VZW.
send it back to d seller to unlock it
I tried it
I asked the seller about that but she refused it.
The device has to be active on a Verizon account that's in good standing. And the line it's unlocked on won't be able to unlock another phone for 10 monhts. I don't think you'll get too many takers on your request. TurboSim is probably your best bet?
Unfortunately
Unfortunately, the situation is bad. But I really pay extra cost for unlocking so if someone can help me to take extra cash, please send PM me.
I think I will order a TurboSIM, it's very cheap so I can try it.
Anyway, I got from UnlockCarrier.com 3 codes. 2 codes of them are 8-digit and they're absolutely wrong. The third one is 10-digit and the phone is thinking so much if I type it, but then the phone refuses it. Has someone got experience about 10-digit code?
The code should be 8 digits.

did her posting indicated the phone is unlock n can be use world wide?
or it is locked phone?
ask her to call on ur behalf to get the unlock code, provide her with d IMEI n IMEID
I can help, pm me..
Thanks guys
haroldz123: I ask her but she refused it again but she said she can refund my money if I send back the phone.
wirelessprofessional: I sent a PM!
"A hope? A chance!"
Hi everybody,
wirelessprofessional can't help me but he tried it (Thanks for it).
But the seller wrote a message to me on eBay if I want to send back the phone she refund my money. I was thinking so much on this offer, and I want to accept it but she wrote another message. In message she wrote that she may can help because she started to work part-time at VZW.
Can someone tell me, would it work if a verizon smartphone user got the esn for the phone, activated it on their line online for matthewKER while he still has the phone, then call verizon from some land line or still active phone and ask them to unlock the phone for a valid reason, then get the code, give it to matthewKER, he unlocks it, then reconnect your own smartphone back to your verizon line? I assume he wouldn't get service or be able to call or anything given that the phone is in hungary, though if it can that's the only risk I see in doing this.
Very interesting...
This situation is very, very interesting... After I sent a video to wirelessprofessional about my bad codes to refund his and my money (because he got same wrong codes), he sent an e-mail. He wrote in the e-mail that he activated my phone on his account and he got an unlock code from VZW. And there is surprise: this code doesn't work, too.
But it isn't end of the story... The seller is also trying to take an unlock code from VZW (she said she works part-time at VZW now) and she wrote me different things than wirelessprofessional. She wrote that she need the pre-installed SIM-card number to unlock method, and today she wrote that the assistant at VZW Global Support wanted to do this method step-by-step with her, but the phone is in Hungary so she ask the assistant how does she do it at home, but assistant said her that call him again if she can use the phone while she speaking on the other phone.
My advice if you want to buy D2G outside USA: DON'T TRY TO BUY LOCKED D2G. To buy an unlocked one with bad ESN is better choice than buy a locked one with clean ESN...
ben7337: Thanks for your post, I hope someone can unlock my phone finally.
same problem, who can help pm please
Santiss, I had a similar problem and ended up selling the phone and buying and unlocked one. I een got the unlock code straight fro ma Verizon Wireless representative and it still didn't work. I initially thought it was because I had to be within reach of the Verizon network in order for the code to work but that was not the case; the code simply didn't work.
My advice? Just get rid of the phone (sell it, return it...) and get one that's already unlocked. The unlock codes are apparently a matter of luck and not a safe bet.
I have unlocked two D2Gs myself online. I know of 3 others that were unlocked using the same site. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SITE! I just have used them myself for several different phone models and they always work perfectly.
One of my D2Gs is a very recent new model, the other one was an early phone, both unlocked fine.
I strongly suggest that people try this site before giving up.
mobileunlockstoredotcom
I think it was around the $10USD mark the last time I looked. I got my codes within an hour.
Both my D2Gs are used worldwide on GSM networks and are behaving well. I just did the edit of the radio image that should remove the band locks when I am next in the US in a couple of weeks, that should be interesting!
Hey everyone,
I will be traveling to Italy this summer for several weeks and am interested in using the phone for emergency calls within the country.
I understand there are prepaid sim cards sold within Italy however the phone must be unlocked in order to use another carrier's sim card.
So to sum it up, is it possible to unlock the HTC One X to be used abroad and if so, where do you guys recommend I unlock it? Is it possible to do it on your own?
This will be my first time unlocking so yes I hate myself.
On a side note I had an At&t sales associate tell me that I won't be able to unlock the HTC One X until six months upon activation and also that international sim cards won't fit into the HTC One X. I'm guessing neither of those are true but what do you think?
Can't unlock the AT&T phone yet. You'll have to borrow/rent another phone. Sorry.
Err... I was speaking about unlocking the bootloader, which isn't even relevant to your question. I'm going to sleep.
Sent from my HTC One X
There is currently no way to SIM unlock yourself (for the typical user). Many paid unlocking services are failing to unlock the AT&T ONe X so far, but apparently, the service on the following post can do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25758468&postcount=2
I have no personal knowledge of this particular service, and cannot vouch for them. Read the whole thread if you want more info.
I saw something similar on another post "htcsource. com/2012/05/how-to-sim-unlock-the-att-htc-one-x-for-free " where you can get a code generated for free through At&t but I am not sure if that will totally work out.
There are also a bunch of sites that claim to provide a code as well but they don't look too reliable and have several comments claiming the codes did not work.

AT&T will not supply SIM unlock codes for any "exclusive" phones for a period of 10 months after the phone's release, and I think that includes the One X. And the article mistakenly said "you must have an account in good standing (60 days of active service with a pre-paid account)" but it should say post paid.
I think the 10-month exclusivity period is what the sales associate was attempting to refer to.
You can try to call AT&T and ask. I'm guessing they won't give it to you, but if you call, let us know the results.
Also, according to the following webpage, any European carrier that has the iPhone will also have MicroSIMs. So they should have them in Italy, but it wouldn't hurt to do a little more research on this.

Hello All,
Recently got an ATT branded 8X and so far, with a few minor issues, I love it. That said, I have a bit of a problem with unlocking. I purchased an unlock code from *htcsimunlock.com and then inserted my TMO UK sim. Phone booted up and then it asked me for the unlcock code. I enter it and it comes back as a sim error. I tried this with a TMO US sim too and had the same result. The company will not return my emails either so I am not getting much luck on that end either (buyer beware).
So, I thought I would come to the one place I always seem to get answers, whether I like them or not :crying:
Ideas please? Cheers.

Unfortunately, they sent you the wrong unlock code. The code is associated with the IMEI of the phone, not the SIM card.
Keep trying to contact them.

Thanks drtolson. I realize that the the IMEI is the basis for the CU. My problem is after it asks me for the unlock, I get an invalid sim error message. I think you may have misundertood my question.
I have tried repeatedly to contact them but they just ignore me. Not cool I know but thats the fact of it.
The only thing thats related here is the fact that both sim's have been TMO. I can't imagine it being an issue and it has not been with all the phones I've unlcoked before... I'm stumped.
The reason that you are getting the invalid sim error message is because the unlock is not working, then it detects that the sim is not an AT&T sim and says that it is invalid. You need to get the right unlock code. And get a refund for the wrong one that they provided you.
Never use any imei unlocking services!
99% of operators lock the phones by themselves due to a huge leakage at the manufacturer's side.
So i, as an unlocking expert for last 20 years, advise you all guys NOT to use any IMEI based services.
Most of the unlocking websites are offering a wide range of unlocking services based on your IMEI number, but for last 3 years, the amount of successful unlocks via IMEI is greatly dropped down to 1%. So if you got your phone unlocked by IMEI today it does not mean that the next phone will also be unlocked.
Moreover - nobody will return you the money before they earn enough, most of them are buying the codes same way you do but in bulk and before they get enough to cover what they have spent to get it - no returns Sometimes no returns at all.
It's a huge cheating and a gamble. The feedbacks they leave on their websites are written by themselves. And there are lot of tricks you guys don't know.
So just DON"T USE IT!
Use online unlocking solutions where you can see what is happening and for sure there is a person behind the unlocking software, so at least you have a chance to return your money.
Spread it.
Regards
Certainly seems like I'm the victim of a scam here. Now I have to decide if the $15+/- I've paid is woth all the aggrevation and time of a charge back. I hate being rooted if you know what I mean...
I've tried to contact these guys three more times since this post all to no avail. Please guys, keep this in mind if you're looking for an unlock. Don't use w.htcsimunlock.com/.
Perhaps we should have a sticky of unlock guys we know to be legit. What about you maxrfon? You have any way to unlock an 8X?

The chance to get the right code is based on the professionality of the service you use... a good service offers you fully refund if you send in Video with the missing functionality of the code.
There are a lot of cheaters on the customer-side too...
Also got scamed by *htcsimunlock.com , but i have called my bank, their money gateway and posted a complain. I hope they dont get the money, because its only reserved. Shame..

You know, now I'm not so sure... I also had a Lumia 900 and the battery went. ATT replaced it with a refurb and since my original phone was already unlocked by them they gave me the unlock code for that one too. I could never get it to work so I got on the phone with customer service. They took me through the steps and they could not get it either. They sent me another one again, warranty replacement and gave me an unlock code for that too. That didnt work.
Today I read this post on the Lumia forum; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056808 I tried it and it worked. It unlocked my Lumia. I think I'll try the 8X tonight and see. If it does get unlocked, I'll let you know.
I have nothing to lose by doing this now.

Yes, there are many Note5 owners using at&t who purchased from T-Mobile (model SM-N920T), got it unlocked and using on at&t without issue. getting it unlocked is the painful part; T-Mobile uses an app embedded in its ROM to SIM unlock their phones. 3rd-party unlocking sites won't work. T-Mobile unlock prerequisites (summarized from website and my conversations with customer reps): (a) paid full price for phone, (b) phone is used on T-Mobile w/post paid account for 30-40 days or (c) open a prepaid account, deposit $100, use phone on T-Mobile for at least 3-days (so it shows up in their system). some of us have been lucky enough to get the SM-N920T SIM unlocked without meeting criteria (b) or (c). a coworker purchased the T-Mo Note5 and used a post-paid account for 1 week, called in to cancel service and the rep got his device permanently unlocked. search this forum for more details. i requested and received a temporary unlock approval within 48 hours of getting the phone, but for some reason it wouldn't work. 4 days later i called in to complain, got connected to a tech rep who couldn't get it to work and finally got a manager to authorize a permanent unlock (vs. the approved temporary unlock granted). Good luck!

Oh wow, thank you for that informative response. I had no idea third party sites wouldn't work. I just came back from purchasing my T-Mobile Note 5. I purchased it from Craigslist and the seller showed me their Costco receipt. I have a friend who works for T-Mobile, but I doubt he'll be able to assist since he works in the actual store (sales rep). Do you think I have a chance at getting b and c bypassed? Not sure what kind of excuse to use.
Thanks again for your input.

Yes, i always get the T-Mobile version for use on at&t so i can root and enjoy!
did the seller pay full price for the phone? personally, i'd ask the seller for a receipt. best way to find out if it can be unlocked is to call t-mobile and tell them you'd like to unlock for overseas use. the fact that you don't have service may help get it unlocked. they should ask for the IMEI (to confirm it's T-Mobile and that the phone is not blacklisted) and then submit an unlock request. if you're lucky, maybe they can unlock over the phone. good luck!

Haha, I don't blame you.
Well, it looks like they used the Jump! service. They gave me the service agreement sheet (I took a picture of it) where it displays the IMEI, plan, store location, etc. Should I refrain from mentioning I'm an AT&T customer? I don't think I'll be able to say I need it for international use because I don't have a T-Mobile account for them to look up.

i'd open the "Device Unlock" app and if you're presented with 2 unlock buttons - one for Permanent and one for Temporary - then the phone is SIM Locked. if you open the app and a message says the device has been permanently unlocked, you're good to go. pop in the at&t SIM and you should get connected to at&t service.
if it's SIM Locked, when calling T-Mobile, i wouldn't say anything about at&t, maybe mention it was a gift. before calling T-Mobile, however, if the phone is a Jump! purchase then you/seller needs to confirm the phone has been paid for in full, e.g., there's no outstanding balance due. if there's an outstanding balance, you might not be able to get it unlocked. i'd ask the seller if the phone has been paid off.
I tried that, but it said "Unlock Failed" (for obvious reasons I guess).
I spoke to a T-Mobile rep and he said they would need the original owner's account information to verify everything, which I obviously don't have. I asked if a manager can override that and he said no. I searched Cell Unlocker and they gave me a quote surprisingly (http://www.cellunlocker.net/order-code-step-2.php). It's at $49.99, which isn't cheap, but I think it's my best option. If they're advertising it, then it should work, no?

i tried them as well and got a refund. don't think it will work. did you see this message on the website: WARNING: Your device must prompt for a network unlock pin after restarting with a non-accepted sim card. If your device does not prompt then you do not require our services. If your device has a Device Unlocking App installed (T-Mobile/Metro PCS) please.
i think your only option is to contact the seller and let him know the circumstances (you want to unlock for T-Mobile) and ask him to help you out. Good luck, bro...
Ok, I got a review unit of the LG Wing 5G, great device (sadly LG out of business now), it's locked to AT&T, but I'm not in USA.
So far I have tried these:
- Paid the service to unlock with Movical, great service but the code received didn't work, they refunded me.
- Requested the unlock code to AT&T, but I'm not a consumer, I don't have an account on AT&T and also, the phone was never activated in the AT&T network and, because it was a revew device, wasn't "sold", therefore, not manually added to the network, so, no code from them because the third party company who runs the Support on AT&T can't add a device or even see this one.
So, my actual options are:
1 Send back the phone to USA to be activated on AT&T and request the code, sounds easy but it's hard these days and also it depends of someone without any problem on AT&T and with more than 60 days in order to request the code no problem and then send it back here, it's expensive, hard and takes a lot.
2 Paying another service like Movical and pray to have a code that works, but you have only a certain amount of chances to write the right code or it will be locked for good.
3 Doing some kind of unlocking by USB, not sure how it works, someone suggested me that because DoctorSIM does something of that, also, here is a post which I think I can't do because I don't have the Bootloader unlocked (or I don't know how to do it), I really don't know if it might work.
4 Buying a phone in USA and changing the IMEI to mach this one and activate it in USA as I would do in the 1 option.
I would ask some stuff to the community, what are the options you can see viable? is there another you know? to do the 3 & 4, can you point me out in the right direction to perform any of those tasks? can you recommend me a service to unlock it? what do you think of DoctorSIM's option?
some cellphones can be unlock remotely over internet...
