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

Why not just buy one there? I have an unbranded Asian version from Malaysia that was Sim unlocked already and it didnt have the T-Mobile bloatware on it
been looking for a good and cheap unnlocking website for a while but no success so far:|
It's as simple as calling t-mobile and telling them you need to unlock it. Tell them that you're going overseas and need to have it unlocked to use on other carriers. I normally say that we're going on vacation and are going to use a pre-paid sim overseas. Then they send me an email after a couple of days with the unlock instructions + unlock code. I've done this 3 times with no problems.

This is correct. We will provide an unlock code to you free of charge with no questions asked. Just ask to be transferred to our Sim Unlock dept. and they will be more than happy to assist you.
oooo, i see isee, there is no a software to unlock this phone?
if this phone is already s-off, it will be unlocked ?
T-Mobile will only unlock the phone for you once they can verify that you are a T-Mobile customer, or you paid full price for the phone at one of their T-mobile branded stores and can fax them a copy of the receipt. I just went through all of this with them on Monday. If you cannot do either of those 2 things, they will not help you.
The only way to get it unlocked if you are not a T-mobile customer is an unlock service. I used a guy on ebay that unlocked 2 of them for me and sent me the code within 5 mins. He charged $24.95 per phone.

I got mine in a trade so I didnt pay out of pocket for it. Not sure what they retail for in NYC, more than a T-mobile one that's for sure since unlocked phones are usually a higher price
TMO rep told me they can't unlock the phone yet, I'll try again in couple weeks or so.
After spending a couple hours on the phone with T-Mobile trying to work out my data plan in the wee morning hours last week, I received the unlocking code for my Sensation accidentally. After going through all the hell to keep my old rate for my data plan, and finally succeeding, they asked "Will there be anything else Sir". I said "Yes, one more thing. Can I get the SIM Subsidy Unlock Code for my HD2? And being so tired and half awake, I might have given the wrong IMEI number, because the next day I received the unlock code for my Sensation and not my HD2.
I called back the next day and told a tech supervisor that they had sent the unlock code for the wrong phone. The women on the phone apologized and said they would send it without the 24hr wait, and I should receive it within 2hrs. But when receiving the Email from T-Mobile a couple of hours later, this was the response:
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. We have received your SIM Unlock Request. Unfortunately, we are unable to process your request at this time. This subscriber has received an unlock code within the last 90 days. Per T-Mobile Policy only one unlock code will be provided per active subscriber every 90 days. Please submit a new request 90 days after the last unlock code was provided.
No big deal. I at least got the Sensation unlock code and just paid $20 online for the HD2 code.
gave tmobile a call. they seem to not want to give out unlock codes. they told me that i had to either pay for the price of the phone, the full price, or i need to use the phone 40 days. also got an email like this -
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. We have received your SIM Unlock Request. Unfortunately, this subscriber is not eligible to receive the unlock code at this time. In order to be eligible, the subscriber must complete 40 days of active service. Please submit a new request 40 days after this subscriber was activated.

However keep in mind that if you're in a different country the SIM network unlock code will not work, it would only work if you're still within T-Mobile's network coverage.

Huh? That is what the unlock is for, to use your phone with a different countries network when there is no tmobile network. I do this when I go on vacation.

That is correct but I just called t-mobile to ask for unlocking my HTC Sense 4G yesterday and today I received an email from the Unlock Dept saying that they could not process my request for unlock right now because I had requested to unlock once within the past 90 days...bla bla bla...and please call us back 90 days after the last day you requested. I don't understand why t-mobile policy prohibit unlock requests within 90 days like that. I doesn't make sense at all. I would suggest to unlock your phone, or in my case the HTC Sense 4G, @ other unlock websites for $6.49 with REALLY NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

The t-mobile version, as well as the Asian & European version, won't work with AT&T 3G. The Canadian Bell version works with AT&T 3G, but it cost CAD550 before tax without contract to buy one from them. So be prepared to pay at least $600 to get one.
Is there any reason that you want to stick with AT&T (e.g. no t-mobile reception in your area or on a family plan)? I paid AT&T about $200 to break my contract, which still has another year before it ends. Sign up a new contract with t-mobile and get the Sensation for $150. So in the end I paid $350 for the phone, still a much better deal than paying $600+ for the Canadian version.
Hey everyone,
Just wondering where people got their unlock codes that have a SIM unlocked Sensation.
I've been looking at http://www.mobileunlocked.co.uk/htc/sensation/ but it seems pretty expensive...

What phone did you try it with?
Cell unlocker . Net. $19.99 give code in 3 hours or less . Worked great , other one posted above was $14.99 but couldn't find code and and for another $14.99. Still haven't received refund from them from cancelling order

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.

The orig carrier wont give me the unlock codes unless I'm their customer.
Nice , i bought mine on Ebay, would it be OK to call T-Mobile to Unlock mine ?

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.
And this is to unlock the bootloader?

iirc you gotta wait 30 days after getting the phone to have it unlocked (or was that t-mobile?)

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.

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.
