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.

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.

I think the phone has to be in service for either 60 or 90 days (don't remember which) and then they'll give you the unlock code. You have to tell them you're traveling internationally. It takes about 24 hours from the time of the request for HTC phones and the code is sent in an e-mail. I just got the code for my G2 which I'm selling to get a G2X. The code for the G2X has to come from LG so I don't know what their turn around time is.

I've heard if you've been a customer for (60-90? days), even prepaid, they'll give you an unlock code even on a freshly purchased phone. I've got a T-Mo prepaid card that I keep afloat with minimum top-ups for my trips to the US, so if I do buy the G2x or another T-Mo phone I should be able to get the unlock from them.
I thought it was mandatory now. If you ask for the unlock code, they have to give it to you regardless. Guess I was wrong?
Anyone here work at t-mobile that can give any solutions to non t-mobile customers who don't want to open an account?
I suspect this device is carrier locked, but I would buy one if I could confirm that I could use it on AT&T out of the box.

Sorry nomisunrider, not trying to hijack your thread, but since we are already Hijacking the o2x forum
I have another question for Non-T-Mobile (AT&T) people.
My question is how compatible is the G2X going to be with AT&T's "4G"?
Also I am currently using Nexus One AT&T 3G, but I am thinking that I should be able to change that to the 4G service without altering my contract, or loosing grandfathered "unlimited data plan"?
Any input or info much appriciated

T-Mobile isn't in the business of selling phones. They'll only sell you a phone in conjunction with a pre- or post-paid wireless plan. As someone said, out of the box the phone is locked to T-Mobile. You can request an unlock code after 60 or 90 days of maintaining an account in good standing.

I have a friend on t-mobile. Can he call them up and request sim unlock codes?
I am also in this situation but I prefer not to buy from ebay. What about unlocking services? Do they permanently unlock the phone? Does flashing a different ROM on the phone affect the unlock?

Cant get it right away, but I am sure it will be available soon.
http://www.expansys-usa.com/lg-g2x-android-smartphone-unlocked-216928/
I believe the G2X is unlocked out of box I got to review the device today and it has at&t options under network settings like the Nexus One.
If you purchase out right you can get code immediately (meaning requesting the code). If its an upgrade/new activation must wait until buyers remorse is up and not be past due or had an unlock code in last 90 days. I'm not at work now but that's the policy, I believe not sure if its 90 or 60 though can't remember. Hope this helps

I've been asking around and several people have informed me that if you purchase the phone for full retail, t-mobile will provide you with an unlock code. I also found this on wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_lock#United_States
"One of the two national GSM carriers, T-Mobile,[43] will unlock handsets for those with active account in good standing for at least 40 days and no unlock code request in the last 90 days. T-Mobile will also unlock a phone if the full retail price is paid and proof of purchase is provided through a faxed document. "

There we go that's the policy takes 24 hours for the request to process and up to 7 days to receive the code.

Sorry to inform you, but you need to brush up on your company's policies.
I just got off of the phone with t-mobile customer care (1-877-453-1304). I called them because I wanted clarification on this before I purchased 2 full retail price phones.
The program is called the "Sim Subsidy Unlock Program." It is for anyone that purchases a phone for the full retail price from a corporate store or an authorized retailer and pays all of the price upfront.
You need to call customer care, explain that you purchased a phone for full price and request a "remedy request form number." They will then open this request and you then have 7 days to fax the following to the Sim Unlock Team at 1-813-353-6557 :
ATTENTION: SIM UNLOCK TEAM
Full Name
Mobile Number
Email Address
Readable Copy Of Sales Receipt
It takes 24 to 72 hours to process and they will email you instructions to unlock your phone.
Yeah, if you bought the phone full price, then you will not be required to wait any time to unlock the phone. The 3g and 4g frequency will not work well, or at all, because the phone uses 1700 and 2100 for 3g and 4g. The 1700 frequency is exclusive to T-Mobile.

If you're on T-Mobile and your account is in good standing and you have been a customer for 90 days or more, you can call up and ask for your unlock code. You do not need to provide a reason, and they will email it to you within 24 hours.
just call your carrier and give them the your IMEI number and they will give you the unlock code for free
I have also used HTCIMEI UNLOCK web site and literally I got my code in less than a minute. Used for sensation as well. I can uplod pics if you want me to.

It's within 14 days but usually 24 hours, just for clarification. I called a few days before leaving to Armenia last summer for T-Mobile to unlock a MyTouch 3G Slide and it literally took 14 days to get the email. Other times, I got it the next day.

If you sim unlock the phone, then you can put a sim card from any carrier worldwide and it should work.
htcimeunlock is amazingly fast and worked perfectally every time 4 me. or u can just call tmo and get it 4 free, thats what i did
As glhturbo had pointed out in another thread, cellunlock.net does it for $20/phone but with this code crackb50 you get 50% off. Worked great for my T-Mobile Sensation. Enjoy! =)
Get a buddy with a sensation "native" carrier to make the request.

No canadian carrier does this. Thanks for the input though.
OP: use MobileInCanada.com. Hands down the best service. $20 a phone, regardless of what it is, with very few exceptions.
I have a Virgin Sensation 4G on Telus now, I used this process, and I'm up and running full blast. You will not be disappointed.
Some notes in the process: Bell has a general policy to NOT SELL MOBILE PHONES TO PEOPLE WITHOUT BELL SERVICE. It's a dumb policy, but they're pretty firm about it. Luckily, their resellers are not bound to this same policy, going to T-booth, Wireless Wave, etc. any place that SELLS bell/Virgin phones but is not Bell/Virgin, you'll need to buy from. mobileincanada has been known to take as much as 4 Hrs to produce an unlock code, but it will come, and they will email you about it. they take paypal (and you can complete the transaction on a mobile device, such as an android).
Also, the phone will not have the APN for Telus, you'll have to add it. Google Telus APN, and you'll find all the relevant settings you need, or look up "using a non-telus device" on telus' webpage and they will give you basically the same settings for setting up data on a "non-telus phone".
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.

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

Well, WIND are beginning to scare me. Before, when I needed my BB unlocked, it was as easy as sending them an email. Now, I need the G2x unlock code, not only I have to call them, but also to pay $10.
WTH? I'm still not that poor, but there's a matter of principle here - I have the phone, I'm paying for it since the beginning, I feel like someone is getting money for nothing. Would you pay if you were in my case?

When I signed up I was told that after 3 months WIND would supply the unlock code at no cost. I didn't want to wait 3 months so I paid for an unlock code. Here's where you can get an unlock code for 99 cents US through an Ebay seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unlock-Code...s=63&clkid=2846801209278919181#ht_2270wt_1037
Make sure that you give the correct numbers because, if there's an error, the unlock code won't work and there's a limited number of attempts allowed before the phone is hard-locked so that it will never be able to be unlocked from WIND.
WIND's customer service totally sucks.

Just wanted to inform everyone that AT&T won't give us unlock codes to use our phones with an international sim while traveling until 11/06.
I bought my phone on May 6 2012 (launch day). So maybe they added a 5 month waiting period?
Not sure what to do now other than paying the $5-10 to get it unlocked unofficially. Any recommendations for sources would be great.
This might be an HTC thing. My friend just bought his samsung galaxy s3 and he had no problems getting an unlock code within 2 weeks of purchasing. I know with my previous HTC phone (windows phone) i also had to wait to get it unlocked.
Thanks a lot HTC. Another thing you and AT&T screw us over with.

A rep told me when I got the phone that because I was on a contract I had to wait and be in good standing, ie. no delinquencies on payment.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
The official AT&T unlock policy is:
(1) on contract for at least 90 days
(2) Account in good standing
On top of that, almost all the new AT&T smart phones, not just HTC phones, now come with so-called exclusive period which starts from the day the phone was released and typically ends at 6-month mark or later. During this period, you won't be able to get the unlock code.
HTC One X isn't the first phone to have this policy and won't the last.
Must be an individual account thing, because my friend got his gs3 unlock code 2 weeks after buying.
I was able to get my GS2 unlocked the day I bought it (no contract price) but others are not so lucky. AT&T has all the code. They just don't want to give them out per AT&T policy unless you met a helpful or clueless CSR.
If AT&T refuses to give you a code for what ever reason, you can PM me, I'll give you the code.
