Question on location while unlocking ATT Tilt

Hi,
I am just new here, and I am so glad that I found this forum.
I might sound stupid, but just wanted to check if I can get some help on the dilemma I am facing. My dad just bought ATT Tilt as a gift for me. I live in India so I need to be able to unlock it so that I can use it with the local service provider. I was thinking of buying an unlock code based on the IMEI.My question is should I be physically present in US to be able to unlock it this way?
Thanks,
Stevens

I don't think it matters where you are calling from. The important thing is to call the ATT customer care and tell them your dilemma. And depending upon the person that you speak, they may give you the unlock code over the phone.
If you call and do not get a favorable reply, hang up and keep trying. Eventually, you'll run into someone that will help you.

You dont have to be here
When you insert a foreign SIM, it i will ask for a code and all you have to do is punch it in...won't matter where you are.

[Q] Help me pls ! can't find code...

Hi Ya
Pls help me looking everywhere desperately for an unlock code for my G1
My uncle bought me a G1 in England and i live in Greece..... So i really need an unlock code....
If someone could help me giving me my unlock code i would be very very happy.
BTW i will PM my IMEI to the one who can find it for me...
Or if nobody can find anything can someone tell me when the will be a program coming out to unlock the G1 like they did for the Iphone ....

Hello there,
This isn't the answer you're probably looking for, but you'd need to get back in contact with T-Mobile UK. As they will be the only ones that hold the unlocking code for you. Root'ing will not be able to unlock you're phone so there is no program for this. Not to sure how much unlocking codes cost from t-mobile, there is no information on the website. You could try and call +44 79539 66 150 which is the roaming number (it'll put you to the front of the queue and you can ask an agent there)
Hope this helps!

Hi again
Thanx a lot for trying to help me. I will phone them monday at 12 o'clock (greek time) ....

Not to sure what the time difference is, we're BST at the mo so thats GMT+1. Opening hours are 8am till 9pm.
Hope they can provide you with your code!

Ye ok thanx ...
Any ideas what i should say ???
I phoned T-mobile US and they say with out a T-mobile account number i can't do anything... Is that true ???
I really want to try my G1

T-mobile is not necessary, it's just the free way if you are already with t-mobile. There are several 3rd party websites which can aquire an unlock code for you. Most guarentee you a code almost instantly, my understanding is htc charges them $10 and they in turn charge you $20, thereby earning $10 for a simple email/money transfer to htc. Afaik some company needs to contact htc for you, I don't think you can deal directly with htc tho that would be nice. Unfortunately I can't really recommend anyone to go thru as I've done all my unlocking thru t-mobile.
Edit: also if you know someone with t-mobile every 90 days t-mobile will unlock a phone for them. The phone doesn't have to be registered to their account just tied to t-mobile. As a matter of fact to actually unlock the dream you must put in a non-tmo sim. Your 'friend' may need to tell t-mo they intend to leave the country or something, your friend may also require a few bux for the trouble lol

Yeah usually just stating that you plan to use the mobile abroad is sufficient enough for them to hand over the code. If not then keep pressing for it and hopefully they will get a manager or someone higher to deal with the issue. The joys of support
I know in the UK certain vendors (Vodafone) offer all of their phones unlocked to begin with but I don't know what it's like in the states.

Hi guys
This morning i phoned T-mobile uk with NPerry number. LOL it was funny i waited like 10 min. Then someone finally answered but he couldn't hear what i was saying (i was on skype) so i lost 2 euros calling and i didn't have what i wanted....
So i decided to buy an unlock code. So pls tell me which site is the best and most secure ???? www.htccode.com ? (looks like it doesn't word anymore it says "This Account Has Been Suspended" ow well) what else http://www.modmygphone.com/ ???
pls anwer
And BTW thanx for the others that answered me before

Possibly silly, somewhat urgent question - re custom ROMS

I'm selling my X1, and the buyer has requested that it be unlocked beforehand.
Will any of the custom ROMs floating around work as an unlocked generic one (will work on Bell, Telus, Rogers)? I can't seem to get rapideshare to work for the NA generic ROM ("too many users, please register" etc) and she needs it by noon today before I swing by work.
Judging by her asking me to "jailbreak it" before she gets it, she probably won't notice if there's a generic, custom, or branded ROM on it anyways if that's the case.
THANKS!

sounds like you want the sim lock removed
flashing your device (independent from stock or custom rom) doesn't remove a sim lock, you need to read here
and you only "jailbreak" an iphone

Just call up your provider, and tell them you are going abroad and need the phone unlocked. They'll give you the unlock code, and instructions as to how to unlock it.
As for installing non SE ROMs, I wouldn't as that voids the new users warranty, and most cooked ROMs are too buggy for the average person unaware of XDA (and thus unprepared to troubleshoot).

Thank you. I suppose I'll have to paypal me an unlock code for her tomorrow.
Haha and I'm well aware that jailbreaking is iPhone specific. Just noting how unaware the person I'm selling it to.
And Sonus: I work for bell ( they bought out the source/radioshack here in Canada). I called NCS, our in store support centre (who btw is just as useless as 1st tier customer support), under the guise of having a customer with a debranded phone that wouldn't sim unlock. Of course since it was a Rogers imei, they wouldn't touch it.
And Rogers of course want 250 for me to be able to leave the country.
Anyways, hopefully this all pans out.
Thanks for all your help.

If you still want to download the NAM stock ROM and don't have a premium account, use rapid8.com

Rogers really should do it for free if you are a Roger's customer and the phone is a Rogers branded phone. If they won't ask for a customer service manager. If you aren't a Rogers customer, ask one of your friends who is a Rogers subscriber to call as if the phone was theirs.

Rogers support = extra$
shayne122, are you going to try the Rogers route again? I'm on Rogers and told them how I'll be overseas and wanting to use the phone with the local system for the 2 months. They tried to talk me into a Roaming package. Very interested if anyone finds a way with out having to cough up more cash on top of the over charged Canadian Roger rates. Otherwise going to read up on about flashing and other options that won't brick my phone like my Blue angel ended up..

[Q] HOW-TO? moving from Canada to Europe

Hi
I'm new to this forum and got to admit I am a bit lost in the gigantic amount of relevent information on this forum.
I own a captivate locked to Rogers. Moving to Europe for 6 to 12 months soon and I guess my best option is to bring my phone as I'm stuck with a contract anyway.
What do I have to do ? I guess first step would be to unlock my phone. Does rooting and unlocking mean the same thing ?
When my phone will be ready and I move to Europe, are there specifical steps to follow ?

Hi
You need to call Rogers and get them to walk you through the unlock process. Rooting is not the same thing as network unlocking. The captivate's exclusivity lock was just lifted in the US(with AT&T) so hopefully you should be in the green for Rogers. Just call their customer care/international line if they have one and ask around, someone will help you.
I'm travelling to Europe in August so I'm trying to find more info about this as well, if I find anything else out I'll let you know

Heads up the captivate has a tri-band 3g radio so you may not get complete g3 service in Europe

Need Help unlocking my USA T-mobile lumia 925. after purchasing the phone months ago in the US with no luck getting the unlock codes from tmobile because I'm not a customer I still cant find any other way to unlock the phone as I have left the country.

I'm in the same boat. After searching just about everywhere, I find it funny how its this difficult to unlock this Lumia 925 from T mobile. What seems to be the reason can someone please shed some light. Will flashing it somehow unlock it? Someone must know. Thanks.

Code is the only possible way at the moment, and probably will be for a long time.

I'd continue to pester T-Mobile or try to get help from someone who can.
Flashing any device will not unlock it unfortunately. I flashed my ATT 920 with the French ROM and it only added some ATT-removed features, no SIM unlock.
