I have the same question as OP. I am about to order a MotoX and will be traveling in 1 month.
Who is RipCo?

For Motorola are more services available,there is a cheaper service that does not work for all phones,but tere is a service for not found phones ,which even if is a bit more expensive ( around 12$) should unlcok your phone

Let me see if I understood correctly, you bought your Moto X from motorola's website (in the Design Yours section), customized your phone and at the end you choosed Carrier -> ATT -> No Contract (that's 499$) and you got it to work in your country?

So you just called them and asked them for the code, didn't you?
What exactly did you say? I'm in the same situation and I'm about to give them a call, so I have to be prepared
Thanks a lot!

Just got myself an AT&T Moto X. I am in India right now and dont see any option to e-mail the guys at AT&T. For some reason they want me to register. Can anyone help me out with this? I need to SIM unlock the phone. How do I reach AT&T via e-mail?

This is the AT&T International (+1 916 843 4685) phone number.Can call that 1-2 times if you can and try to convince you to give you a code,but lately seems they do not give codes unless you have or had a contract with them and use the form from their website to request for it. If that is not working can just buy an unlock code should be around 12$

Anyone have a phone with imei starting 3532 that has had problems unlocking?

How To Check If Its SIM Unlocked without SIM?

Hello, im gonna trade my white vivid for a black one, but the guy needs it unlocked. When i bought mine, the guy said it was but i never made sure. I dont have any other sims to check and the trade is about to happen. Is there some sort of menu i can access to see if im unlocked?

On a tangential note, is ATT accepting unlock requests for this phone yet?

I was told by a store rep that ATT will NOT give unlock code until the entire contract finish...... Hope that's not true.

I have no information on sim unlocks and haven't seen any either. If I find stuff out I will let you know.

Isn't there another way to do it using RSD Lite or some other Motorola utility? I remember I have done it before on another Motorola phone and didn't have to pay anyone for it.

Insert your locked SIM card into the phone and restart the phone. You will be prompted to enter the unlock code once the phone reboots.
Hope that helps. I did it today using a code I got from www.cellunlocker.net

Hello Atrix hd forum.
I unlocked mine (bell version, Canadian) last night for $20. Took less than 10 minutes.
A little disappointed as mine was advertised as unlocked already when i bought it, but wasn't. No big deal.

I bought it unlocked. AT&T update locked it!
Hey there everyone!
I bought my Atrix HD unlocked from eBay, it all worked fine until yesterday a message from AT&T came to my phone saying there was an update. installed it and now my phone is locked!
I spoke on the phone to a customer service representative and he said that the contract Motorola has with AT&T doesn't allow them to give unlock codes (?) and that I should try calling in a month or two.
Is there anything else I could try before buying an unlock code online?? Please help
Interesting question!
Anyone here with the same problem?
Can you unlock the phone twice with 2 different codes?

You will get the unlock option by restarting your phone after putting in a Sim card other than the original carrier Sim.

Hi. I am from Argentina and I bought a Customized Moto X from Moto Maker(AT&T). I have to unlock the phone for use it in my country. The bands are the same so that isn't a problem.
What page is the better for unlock the AT&T Moto X?

Just go with the cheapest one you can find on eBay. I think I paid around $4 USD for my code. Most have money back guarantees so you don't lose anything if it doesn't work.

No, but I don't see how that would make any difference. An XT1058 is an XT1058. The unlock code depends on the IMEI and those are all different regardless of whether the phone was the standard store model or a customized MotoMaker one.
Im buying one from T-mobile just to get a custom moto x cellunlocker.net wants $25. Guess i need to look somewhere else
I believie that T-Mobile version is sim unlocked so you don't need to buy any unlock codes.

[Q] Unlocking AT&T Moto X

Hi there!
I'm having hard days trying to unlock my Moto X by AT&T. I've got the phone almost a month ago and the problem is that I can't get the unlock code from any service, they just can't find it.
I made a few calls to AT&T and as I understood operators can't give unlock codes anymore. They asked me to go to att.com/deviceunlock to fill the unlock request form.
The form includes field called "Wireless number" and since I live in Russia I cannot provide any US number.
Is there a kind person who could get the code for me, filling the form with his wireless number (I can pay for that)?
Or maybe anyone knows another way to unlock the device?
Thanks a lot!

IMEI Unlocking Code?

Hi,
I'm trying to unlock the "imei" on my Moto x XT1097 Telus Mobility so I can use a Rogers Wireless Sim Card but am having difficulty to find a reliable Unlocking Service online. Has anyone done this with their Moto x lately? And if they found one?
Any info would be much appreciated.

I just input the given unlock code they gave me and it worked on the 1st time. I do not live in the US, however my local carrier here pretty much uses the same bands as at&t. I've read that users have issue with trying to get it to work on T-Mobile network after updating it to lollipop. Might want to double check your APN settings or maybe there's a bad coverage in your area?

I cannot confirm a fix for that because i do not stay in the United States. Try downloading an app called secret phone info in the playstore. You will be able to switch the network from the default gsm/LTE to wdcma preferred. I found this that I'm able to get better cell reception. Maybe try calling T-Mobile or keep searching in google. If I'm not mistaken theres a slight hardware difference between the T-Mobile (pure edition) and AT&T variant regarding the bands it supports.

If you have an ATT XT1097, you can request an unlock code from ATT here:
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/
If you are not an ATT customer, you select non-ATT Mobility customer when requesting your unlock code.

Believe it or not, AT&T has been unlocking phones that are still on contract or are still on Next payment plans. There are threads about this in the iPhone forums.

I have only IMEI unlocked AT&T iPhones so I don't really know how it works with Androids, but I do know that people have IMEI unlocked their Androids that were still on contract by simply requesting the unlock through that link.
