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

Once it is unlocked , you will be able to use the same phone any where in the world with any gsm carrier, also as 3g in Europe and in Asia, and also in canada with some carries
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.
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?

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
i unlocked mine via ebay couldn't wait because i can't use AT&T
if you want a link for the seller i used on ebay i will be happy to give it to you . feel free to PM me or ask here.

Hey thanks for your message, yes I would appreciate a link to the reliable seller that you used!

You'll need an unlock code, which you'll need to purchase. There are a bunch of reliable sites, I got mine from www.cellunlocker.net
there is no way we can do it for free ???
No one here has posted a mod or script to do it for free, and the question has come up many times. But I'm sure it's possible and maybe no one's really tried hard enough.
It's my understanding that if you live in the US and have AT&T you can get a free unlock code from them, but a lot of users have reported that they give you a hard time before they give it to you.
I'm just mentioning this because maybe it's the reason that there hasn't been a high demand here for a sim unlock mod.
Please lost back here if you do find a free way.

Is there a similar unlock method like the HTC One S where the secret is hidden in the root?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693491
I remember reading about a hex edit for the cappy. Maybe someone who is interested could look it up and see how different our nv_data is and see if the same principal applies. I might take the task on when I decide to reactivate it on a new carrier.
No free method.

That's where I got mine. Easy ordering, and I got my code within about 30 minutes, as opposed to the 1-5 hours they quoted me.

AT&T told me that becasue the Skyrocket is exclusive with AT&T a free unlock code is unavailable.

Tell them you are moving to Canada for 6 months, and want to use it with Rogers.
I just got off the chat with AT&T They said they can not unlock my phone because I am in contract. I told them I bought it out right, then they wanted proof of purchase. I yelled at them a little then they said I would have to call samsung to get the code. The reason for that is a updated policy.

I just got off the line with AT&T and they told me that codes are not available at all for the Skyrocket. Some line about Samsung being under agreement with AT&T and they haven't released the codes to AT&T yet. I smell the distinct aroma of bovine fecal matter on that one...
I think I will be calling them back soon and yelling at them a little bit.... It's amazing how often that seems to work when you're calling customer support and they're being belligerent....
EDIT: Well, got back on the line with them, and now they want my receipt. I bought the phone a year ago. If I have the receipt, there is no telling where it would be. A whole lot of run around.
I spent a week trying to unlock my skyrocket for free, gave up walked into a flea market, walked out 15 minutes later and $25 lighter.
Yes, you can unlock it for free through AT&T. I was able to do it. It is a pain, but it will work. You need to use the online help, ask for a supervisor, and ask for a "OKCQSubsidyUnlock" case to be opened.

Yeah, I've been thinking about just buying a code. The only thing that still ties my phone to being an AT&T device is the network lock. How Kong did it take you to get the code?

I tried to get a code from AT&T and they would have given it to me but said it wasn't available for SR. I have heard that though that if you push hard enough they will give it to you. I don't know. I use Straight Talk now and I absolutely LOVE it. You can get an ATT sim card from them and you don't need to unlock. I have tried several pre-paid networks and they have been by far the best.
I agree, I've had straight talk for over a year using my Nokia SIM and this is my third android phone using the work around. No problems what so ever. Just plop in my e-71 SIM and put in the new apn and I'm good to go. I've never had to unlock any phone.

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.
What would be the difference unlocking with 3rd party paying 10 bucks?

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.
