[Q] Any one get an unlock code from TMobile?

Any one get an unlock code from TMobile yet? Dont want to get into the same boat as Streak 5 where I had to wait for 3 months before ATT would let me unlock my off contract phone.

I tried. They won't unlock it, not after 3 months it seems. They have an exclusive in the device and they won't be releasing an unlock option for it.
I am thinking about returning mine just for this reason.

Not before three months or never? I think xoom wifi will be out before that.

To my understanding...they will never unlock it. Other people might have better experience. You can call T-Mobile and ask.

like everyone says 3 Months is the wait time... tbh youre better off waiting for the forum to find a way to do it lol, it took like 1-2 months for someone to figure out a way with my G2

No luck unlock t-mobile dell streak 7
Here was my response from T-mobile.
T-Mobile Sim Unlock Request
Sim Unlock Reference:
IMEI:
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. Unfortunately, we are unable to process your request at this time. Per the manufacturer this device was designed to be used in conjunction with a T-Mobile SIM card only and therefore, a SIM Unlock code is not available. T-Mobile does have other handsets available for International Travel that can be unlocked to use on other networks. Please visit our website at T-mobile.com
Thank You,

Unlocking
There may be some unlocks sites that are capable of unlocking it. Since T-Mobile may become AT&T next year, I'm sure it will be unlocked soon.

Can a Dell S7 be Sim unlocked and by who? Tmo or Dell

was considering getting into the tablet mix and i like the S7 in the Tmo store and the price is ok, but i was wondering if they would unlock it off contract and who would be doing the unlocking dell or tmo

I have yet to hear anybody receive an unlock code from tmo or dell.

I am trying on two different sites right now (both have money back guarantee). I will let you know if I have any success.

thanks, that Gslate at $749 is too much of a pill to swallow,

I unlocked my Streak 7
I went to unlockstreak (sorry, I don't post enough here to give you the URL)
Gave them the IMEI code from my Streak 7 box. Within 2 days I had a code in my e-mail. Popped in my ATT SIM. It prompted me for the code and... presto: I was on ATT's HSPA+ net.
Works great.

Just a heads up, I am working with streakunlock to get a code for my warranty replacement s7. It is slow coming, like a week now but he is working it. Just don't get worked up if you have a newer s7 and request an unlock code. Btw, I fixed my original but figured I would keep the newer one.
Edit...
Got the code today and it works like a charm, really brilliant and pretty damn fast, faster than my atrix if that is saying anything

I wanna unlock mine too to use with the ATT work line... or just be ready if the merge happens.. but 50$ is a lil steep.
Least I got a orig DS7..

Unlocking is a pricey convenience
When I was researching how to unlock my Streak 7, here's what I learned:
1) Dell provides the unlock code and *only* to the carrier (T-Mobile) when they request one. They will not provide codes to consumers.
2) T-Mobile will obtain an unlock code for their customers upon request. I'm told you call customer service, but I have always had excellent luck resolving other tech issues using the online chat support. That would be my first stop.
3) T-Mobile will provide you the code in about 48 hours, but I couldn't find out if there were any charges.
4) You must have an AT&T SIM to trigger the Streak 7 to prompt you for the unlock code.
I chose to pay for a service simply for the convenience, since it was guaranteed to work. But if costs are a consideration, I would definitely hit up T-Mobile's support site and request one.

No charge for equipment unlock reqs with TMobile...can do one unlock req per 12 months. You must be a customer for at least 40 days OR pay full cost for device

Tmobile would not unlock for me, paid full price, but not a tmobile customer. $40 unlock was cheaper than being a customer.

Call T-Mobile. No go.
Called Dell. My unlock was sent via email about 24 hours later.

Mine's unlocked

How I got my Streak 7 unlocked ...twice!

My saga starts a few weeks ago. In the end, I managed to get it unlocked two different ways.
I got a Streak 7 directly from Dell. I never had T-mobile service or planned on getting T-mobile service. My first attempt was by calling T-mobile and just asking for a code. No dice there... They said they did not have codes for that device yet and that I had to contact Dell directly. So, I found the mobility support number on Dell's website (1-800-308-3355) and called them. The lady I talked to told me that they were not providing unlock codes for the 7 yet. I raised a small stink, but decided to just try again in a few days/weeks.
Fast-forward to this week...
I had to unlock a different phone(for work) from Dell. I called the same Mobility support number above and got a very nice Indian gentleman, lets call him Bob. I told Bob I needed to get a phone unlocked, he asked me a bunch of personal questions and then only asked me for my service tag number. After giving it to him and talking for a bit more, Bob said he needed to put the request in and it would be 3-5 days. After hanging up, I realized I never gave Bob an IMEI. I got a little pissed. I figured it was a ploy to get me off the phone and I would never hear back from him again. Arg!
The next day I went back to google to find more info on unlocking both of these devices. I located a forum for a different Dell phone. Some of their users had luck unlocking their phone by emailing "unlockcoderequest at dell.com". I figured what the hell, emails are free, I'll give it a shot. So, I sent Dell a nice email asking them to unlock the device I needed for work ....and by the way, this Dell Streak 7 too.
20min later I get a call from Bob. I figured I screwed my self by putting in multiple requests. After a few min of talking to him, I realized he had no idea about the email AND he had my unlock code for the work phone. Woo Hoo! After unlocking that bad boy, I asked Bob if he would unlock another device for me, a Dell Streak 7. I gave him the Service Tag and IMEI. Bob told me he would put in the request and it will be 3-5 days. (First one took 24 hours)
Five hours after sending the email to the address above, (Four and a half after talking to Bob) I get an email back from the unlock team, with BOTH unlock codes! About 24 hours after I asked Bob for the Streak 7 unlock code, he also emailed me the unlock code. You rock, Indian Bob!
So, what did we learn this week?
You can unlock the S7 by calling 1-800-308-3355
You can unlock the S7 by emailing unlockcoderequest at dell.com
Indian Bob is the best Dell support guy I have ever had.
If you are running DJ_Steve's 1.2 AND disabled the RIL to save battery life, you may need to format. (It never picked up that I had a sim in. I played with re-enabling the RIL for about 10 minutes before saying, "Screw it" and formatting)
3G does work on the AT&T network. (YAY!!!)

is it true or just prank?

True! I get my unlock code in less than 24hrs! I call and send the email!
From my CM7 Glacier

Thanks for the tip guys! I got my unlock code from Dell 24 hours after requesting it via email. How cool is that?
Ummm... now I'm a little embarassed. What the heck do I do with the unlock code? Where do I enter it?
Edit: Nevermind. I powered off my Streak and put in my SIM card from my iPhone, and powered it back up and it asked for the code. I entered it, and BAM! I was on AT&T's 4G network gettin data off my unlimited iPhone data plan.
So... will AT&T get upset with me if I swap that SIM card back and forth between my iphone and my streak? Will they even know?

Has anyone tried this with a Streak 5?

Hey Tom, You can swap sims back and forth without issue. I have 3-4 that I use for testing and have never ran into an issue. Dont know if they are "happy" about it, but I have never gotten a call from them.

Thanks, Mobile. I checked with a guy I know that works for ATT, and he said it was no big deal to do for short and small data tests. But anything more than that and you risk ATT changing you billing over from iphone data plan to a tablet plan. Since the iphone is a work device, im not gonna mess with it unless it. Its not worth getting in trouble.

Ok heads up. The email method didnt work. The said they couldnt cause its a retail device.
Now CALLING them, that worked. However.. was lil of a pain. 1st she tried to claim after asking me if I was on a t-mo contract that she couldnt till the contract was over. I told her T-mobile told me to contact Dell for the code, she put me on hold, talked to Tmos unlock dept, they said it could be released. So she gave me one code over the phone. (Didnt work) so now I am waiting on my email within 24 hours now to get it.

Ok got my tablet unlocked. =) The phone method does work, if you have patience. Free and worked with my ATT Sim, saw 4G too. =) While I plan only to use my TMO one, least its good to know I can now use my ATT if needed.

Help me please with unlocking
I've tried to buy unlock codes from two different companies - both returned 'not found'.
I've tried also e-mailing to unlockcoderequest at dell.com - the answer was about 'retail piece'.
Guys, can anybody get the unlock code for me by calling 1-800-308-3355??
I would be very thankful (I can thank you via PayPal if you want)!
All information (tag, IMEI) can be found in attachment

I emailed unlockcoderequest this weekend and they sent me my code right over monday morning after I sent them my service tag off my invoice, my order number, and stated I paid full retail, even though I don't even have my streak yet as FedEx has yet to grace me with its presence.
I did buy the T-Mobile version of the streak at full retail price from Dell EPP as I work for AT&T and I am going to be using it with AT&T service. I just hope the unlock code works, as I have yet been able to test it. Will find out Wednesday or Thursday.
So for those having no luck, maybe the reason you aren't having luck emailing is if perhaps you didn't buy it at retail price, and got it with the T-Mobile contract discount, they don't give codes? Or maybe has something to do with me purchasing from the business EPP department?

Well you need to call dell. One question they ask is if you bought it outright or retail. If its retail, they have to check with Tmobile and your service if you are allowed to unlock it. But since you bought it from Dell direct. They will give you the code.

T-Mobile US frustration getting SIM unlock

I have a new C6606 from T-Mobile US. I purchased it directly from T-Mobile, they shipped it to me. When I ordered it, I specifically told them I required it be SIM unlocked because I travel frequently to China for long periods of time and I use a China Unicom SIM while there. My previous T-Mobile phones all worked great there, T-Mobile never gave me any problem giving me the unlock code. So, I requested the SIM unlock code for this new Z. I just received an email from T-Mobile telling me that they cannot give me an unlock code because the IMEI number for this phone is "unknown". They claim this phone must have been purchased from another carrier or source, so they don't have it in their database and thus they are unable to give me an unlock code. Seriously???
I'm about to give up on this phone, and maybe even T-Mobile, even though I've been a customer of theirs for over 9 years, now.

Yeah just pay to unlock is it that much expensive?

I paid $25 for unlock code from http://www.cellunlocker.net/ even though t-mo told me to wait for a few weeks before they can give me unlock code.

well, good job in buying the only nexus 6 thats sim locked(from att only) to use on verizon. all the other nexus 6 are not sim locked. att will give you the unlocked code after you fully pay off the nexus 6, or you can pay an online site for the unlock code.
