[Q] Issue getting sim unlock code - General Questions and Answers

I bought my wife a used Pantech Slate C530 locked to AT&T and have tried to get an unlock code from cellphoneorb.com and thephoneunlockers.com and have been unsuccessful. They have both tried but end up refunding my money. Any ideas as of why it can't be unlocked? I've given them both the correct IMEI.

[Q] Problems unlocking Rogers Samsung S3

I purchased an unlock code from Rogers, but when I enter it into the phone using the other service provider's SIM card, I get an error message that says "Network unlock unsuccessful". Rogers can't figure out why the unlock code isn't working. They've refunded me the costs, but I can't get it to unlock so now I'm without a phone. Anyone have any suggestions on what the problem might be?
Did you confirm that Rogers has the correct MEI number to that phone?
There are other options online too for getting the unlock code for your phone... since you're willing to spend money for it, you could try one of the respected unlock sites and get the code that way.. there is really no reason why the correct unlock code wouldn't work..

SIM unlock AT&T XT1045
eBay vendors are reporting they can't find unlock code for AT&T XT1045. Doe anyone know reliable place for unlock code?
TIA
Sorry, I appreciate this is a really old thread, but I wanted to share my experience of trying to SIM unlock a Moto G 4G locked to Tesco. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone to use TB and AdAway. I tried to get a SIM unlock code from various vendors on eBay but all gave refunds as they couldn't find an unlock code.
I paid £10 to Tesco but they couldn't get a code and said they passed it on to Motorola. I heard nothing so went direct to Motorola Support. They confirmed my IMEI was correct but said they did not have an unlock code, a subsidy code they called it. They were polite but constantly said they had no code. I pressed them and eventually they told me they couldn't help as I had rooted my phone and they couldn't access my SIM unlock code. I said I had applied to unlock the bootloader and asked had my phone told them what I had done to it? Did they not have records of each code for each IMEI? They ignored that and repeated they didn't have a code for me.
Now, call me cynical, but I suggest Motorola are refusing to help or deleted the SIM unlock code when I applied to unlock my bootloader, as to my understanding the two are not linked on the phone and unlocking the bootloader has no effect on the SIM lock. I have passed the matter back to Tesco but am not going to hold my breath.
My advice would be to look at SIM unlocking your Moto G first before anything else, then unlock the bootloader after that.
hey.
just a quick message for anyone else that runs into this issue. i also had problems unlocking my moto g 4g (xt1039) locked to tesco mobile. i had rooted and unlocked bootloader, and was buying unlock codes from various sellers on ebay, but each one said code not found for my imei and they refunded me.
eventually a seller messaged me saying that the regular server had rejected my imei, but that an unlock code could be obtained from 'motorola not found server' for £2.99. so i paid the cash and got the code about 1-2 days later. can't post a link as this is a new account, but seller is mnz technologies.
IMEI 355488060966817 Globe Telecoms Motorola Moto G. Thanks. Can you still unlock it?

[Q] AT&T Note Pro 12.2 SM-P907A Sim Unlock Unsuccessful

I sent in my note in for warranty repair due to blue screen freezes. They replaced the main board and reflashed the software. The tablet was previously unlocked and I was using it on T-Mobile. The tablet was sim locked when I received it from the service center. I went through the process of getting an unlock code from AT&T. The imei that I sent in to them is correct but the code didn't unlock the tablet. I recieved a network unlock request unsuccessful response. As a last resort, I went to Cellunlocker and for a fee they provided me with more codes but the unlock code was the same as AT&T. All of the code entering attempts resulted in an unsuccessful response. Has anyone had recent experience such as this? I ended up purchasing a gophone sim card and activated prepaid service for 1 month and the tablet has service with gophone (AT&T). This means that the tablet can get service but unfortunately my problem is network unlocking it.
Same problem
Hello my friend ! I have the same problem as you. I send my P907a repair, they changed the motherboard and locked out the GSM network. I bought unlock codes and no works, it is the same IMEI and as often happens to be the same code.
I do not know if there is a way to unlock GSM network, but whatever I have to do I will, for example change the IMEI. Someone who can help us? Anything is welcome. Best regards

Please someone answer. AT & T no longer supports this pileup, no OS updates, no Roms, nothing ... we are in limbo.

I had a horrible nightmare when I got mine with att. there's something in their system that prevents any new device even if its off contract from being unlocked for 60 days. many reps do not know about this. you might have to wait 61 days and then attempt to unlock like I did. I know it's just a new board but the system doesn't know that. I bit the bullet and got a month to month plan for 2 months. luckily I kept calling in throughout the 60 days trying to solve the problem. so finally on the 61 I explain to the rep what was going on and they refunded my money for the previous two months.
will the unlock code unlock the bootloader too ?

sadly its just a Sim unlock not Bootloader
Is there any way one can contact at&t and pay for them to unlock the bootloader? By now all contracts related to this tablet and warrenty are long gone, i don't think they have anything to loose to unlock it for us, even against a fee

AT&T M8 - Unlock code not accepted

I have AT&T M8 with WIN10 preview for developers.
I recently ordered unlock code from eBay. Order was processed and in 15 min i got unlock code(s). Two of them to be precise.
Upon inserting T-mobile SIM phone booted up and asked me for unlock code. I typed in first code and got error "incorrect code" and same happen with second code.
I tried each code once more with no success and by that time my counter was down to 6 available tries.
Then I ordered code from different source - HTCUNLOCK.com and received only one code - identical to first one received from eBay purchase.
I decided to try my luck again and rebooted phone with T-mobile card at which point I realized (to my surprise) that unlock counter was back to 10 tries.
My question is did anyone had luck unlocking AT&T M8? What is possibility that WIN10 preview prevents proper code entry? How likely is that two totally independent sources would provide same unlock code (both of them being incorrect)?
Any help or suggestions are welcome, I just want to unlock my phone
Thanks
I sent a request directly to ATT granted the phone i refurbished after it was recycled and given to me. I got an unlock code rather quick. I used two websites prior to going to att's unlock website. One didn't give me a code yet and the other the code did not work. Looks like I'll have to work on getting my money back as the att unlock was free.. who would have thought
I unlocked my AT&T device using this link: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/
I also ordered a code online (sim-unlock.net) and I got the same code as AT&T sent me.
Cheers, T.

unlock code lg stylo T-mobile

hi Lg stylo H 631 t-mobile
ihave code for unlock network but when inter 2945#*631# show nothing
try device unlock for t-mobile to unlock till me is faild
how how can enter code to unlock ??
i have to code NCK & SPCK
You should have an app to request a carrier unlock. If the T-Mobile and the MetroPCS devices are essentially the same I don't see why this would not be the case. My MetroPCS LG G Stylo has the app on the home screen in the folder which contains all of my MetroPCS apps. I've actually been fighting with support about getting mine unlocked prior to the 90 day policy for use when I am in Germany.
I have problems unlocki ng my phone i bought someone off craigslist with a lock. On it cani get some help to google unlock this acct so i can activate my phone
Good luck trying to unlock the Style H631 with T-Mobile. They are a bunch of lying manipulating thieves. My mother bought the phone from T-Mobile 2 years ago, she was paying $65.00 a month ($15.00 included for phone payment). I told her to go with H2O, Cricket or AT&T, which have he best reception where we live. I told her to unlocked network her Stylo, we tried by codes by purchasing from online unlock companies, didn't work. I told her to contact T-Mobile and asked for an unlocked code since she was with them for 2 years and never miss a payment. They told her that she needed to pay the remainder of the phone in order for them to give them an unlock code. She did, it was around $120.00. At the time, they gave her a receipt and gave her a number to call. She called and told her that it can't be done because she already unlocked 2 phones in one year, and they only unlock one phone per year. It doesn't make sense, it was her first time unlocking a phone with T-Mobile, she then replied to them, if you can only unlock one phone per year, then how come it shows 2 phone in one year?
If you are with T-Mobile, you are simply out of luck, and the app to unlock is just an app that will display "device can't be unlock" or something along those lines. Best of luck.
