Hello:
Is there any way to unlock the phone for free? I got it almost half a year.
Try AT&T's unlocking site. It should work as long as you have had an account with them for 60? days.
Hi,
I don't have an account with them, I tried ti understand their web and didn't success.
I got the phone as a gift.
anybody have a good news for this issue?
Reminder that we are here to further discuss development... Not sell or advertise.
Final warning in here. Thanks folks!

I have a Nokia Lumia 520 with Vodafone Germany Sim Lock. Someone knows how to unlock it?- a tutorial. Or knows a Unlock Service?
Thx
If you're in a region that the locking carrier operates in, you may be able to just take the phone to them, explain the situation, and get it unlocked. If not, you could try asking Nokia directly. Beyond that, the unlock codes usually leak pretty quickly, and even the really sketchy-looking online unlock services have been surprisingly honest in my experience, but the 520 may be too new for them.
hey. have you managed to unlock it? or can anyone tell how to do it? the operators asks for more than 50 euros to unlock it...
SIM Unlock Lumia 520
same problem here guys,
a friend of my brought from US a Nokia Lumia 520, as my request. I´m in Brazil, by the way.
But It came SIM Unlocked from AT&T. The phone works well, the only thing that it does not is calls and sms. But the rest is fine.
I contact AT&T but they wont give me the PIN number to unlock. (tried several times)
So I need to find some way to do that. Either getting the PIN number, or even formatting the cell, to a "pure" WP8 (as should be an original unlocked device) - installing the original WP8.
About the warranty, I dont care. I´m Brazil and will never get acess trough, if i need it.
I really apreciate if someone can give me a help here.
Cheers!

Well guys,
I was able to format my Nokia Lumia 520, using the Nokia Care Suíte.
I downloaded the original firmware, with no Crapware from AT&T and using the Nokia Care Suite I completed the formatting.
The phone is working as it should be. Even the AT&T welcome screen has gone. But, it still does ask for the PIN Number when I put a SIM card from my brazilian carrier.
So, NO, formatting the Nokia Lumia 520 WON´T unlock your PIN Number, as I was hoping.
I need some way to get this code, if anyone could help me, I really apreciate.
Cheers

After 24 months since delivery you can get the code for free:

Just enter your IMEI and the wesite will tell you the exact date.
Before that date it costs you EUR 100,

You may tell them you going to go somewhere for business trip and wish to use the phone. Request them to unlock the phone for you. Try call to AT&T.

Afraid not, there are some people working behind the scenes to get an unlock procedure sorted but as it stands WP 8.1 is pretty locked down.

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 tried 3rd party services online like cellunlocker.net and others but still had no luck in unlocking since most of them pay through paypal which is currently not available in my country in Africa.

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.
Hello all,
Firstly appologies if I'm on the wrong thread I couldn't find one for the Ativ S neo.
I've just bought a Samsung Ativ S neo locked to AT&T, I thought I would only be a question of paying for the unlock code et voila. But the 2 unlocking company I have used so far could not get a code. I was wondering if someone here had similar experience and if they manage to sort it out.
Thanks in advance,
Cheerio
I thought the Neo was on Sprint only? In any case, have you tried talking to AT&T directly?
It was extremely recent.

AT&T release their Neo in November. I've tried to phone them but gave up aafter a while being sent from service to service, I try to send them an email but it came back saying that they don't deal with customer care by email anymore. I'll try to call them again, the 8hrs difference makes it a bit tricky ...

I have the exact same problem. I also tested with two different services and non of them was able to unlock my device both said that they couldn't find my imei in the database.
I've called them twice now and both time they told me I need to have an account with them to get te unlock code. If there is anyone with an AT&T account willing to help to would be appreciated, it's free for you I could reward you for your help...
PM me if willing.

I have ordered a at&t go sim from eBay hopping that when I register it I will be a costumer. Don't know if that will work but guess it's worth a shot.

Please let me know if you succeed. I had no luck with AT&T nor with unlocking website. I have a brand new phone that I can't use, very frustrating.

Of course, haven't got my sim yet. Expecting it next week.
Don't know if it's true but I read somewhere that you must activate the phone with an at&t sim before entering an unlock code or it will get permanently locked.

I've finally managed to get it unlocked through "theunlockingcompany.com" At first they didn't have the code and refunded me straight away asking me to check with them by email in 2-3 weeks, which I did and they now gave me the code. It cost me £18
No need for AT&T sim card.

Hi,
My brother was recently given a second-hand Lumia 625 but it is locked to a different carrier. He has asked me to help him with unlocking it because he doesn't really know anything about these things. Thing is, I have very little experience with Windows Phone. I have unlocked plenty of Android Devices in my time, but I cannot seem to find anything helpful with regards to unlocking WP devices.
I have noticed that the original carrier could possibly unlock the device if my brother asked the original owner to get them to do it, but the fee is extortionate and I am not sure they would do it if the contract is over.
So, I thought I would ask here since I know that if anybody is going to know this sort of thing it's going to be XDA Developers. Is it possible to do this? Are there any tools out there than can do it? Googling turns up very little that is useful.
pay for it
When users will understand, all lumias must be unlocked via pay-code or carrier. You can't flash or do anything about it.
Either the carrier unlocks the phone or you pay for it to an online service.
Hey,
I am from Brazil and was on USA for a week 15 days ago.
I need help. I got an unlocked phone on Best Buy (Google Pixel 7). Paid full, no benefits.
I came back to Brazil with the phone , a gift for my brother. We went today to activate it, but it is locked by T Mobile.
It was a Best Buy mistake, confirmed by bestbuy itself (on chat). The phone should be unlocked.
I contacted T Mobile, but they say they can only unlock if I activate with t mobile for 45 days. The problem is, there is no T mobile in Brazil, and that would be impossible,
Google says it can't solve it also. Best buy admits the mistake, but says only T Mobile can unlock it. Offers me to go to the store and exchange it, but that would require me to go back to USA also, is not something possible.
Can someone give me a light on this?
I only was able to contact T Mobileon apple chat (using my wife's iphone)
You can buy or get an unlock code on the Internet (mod edit and mod edit are good sites in my experience) and put another carrier's SIM in your phone. Enter the unlock code and you should be good to go forever after that (unlock the phone)
