yes sim unlock, maybe there is a way to free DIY unlock like some samsung phones?
Seriously? $7.99? And you're looking for cheaper?
I paid 20 on the first site I found that seemed professional. I would have paid 50....just wanted q reliable and quick code.
IPhone is usually over 100 bucks....for comparison.

When I purchase the phone without contract will it be unlocked or will I have to pay to get an unlock code? Does anybody know? Also its 500 to buy without contract. what sort of taxes will be added to that?
Cheers guys

I bought it from Tmobile off contract and I think it was like around $40 taxes. Probably still need to get an unlock code because it's a Tmobile phone
Edit: 41.60 to be exact

It's locked to T-Mobile. Either wait 90 days and T-Mobile will then provide the unlock code free of charge, upon request within 24h or pay to get it unlocked now.

Do you know how much instant unlock is?

Depends from site to site, shop around but unless they jack it up ( it's a known fact the device has AT&T HSPA+) it should be cheaper than the HDMI cable, strangely omitted from the package.
I've been asking around and several people have informed me that if you purchase the phone for full retail, t-mobile will provide you with an unlock code. I also found this on wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_lock#United_States
"One of the two national GSM carriers, T-Mobile,[43] will unlock handsets for those with active account in good standing for at least 40 days and no unlock code request in the last 90 days. T-Mobile will also unlock a phone if the full retail price is paid and proof of purchase is provided through a faxed document. "

If we wait long enough they may even come up with a way to unlock the phone without an unlock code, kinda like how they did with the mytouch4g. Root brings some great things with it

The only other way is to call AT&T and have them unlock it. Last time I tried they wouldn't do it yet since the phone was still exclusive to them. That might have changed by now so you might try that. As far as the best site, I've looked around and eBay by far has the best prices... I've seen some listed for ~$5.
I bought my unlock code off ebay for 3.98...only took about a half an hour and i had my code
Hi people!
Any way of unlocking a sim locked phone yet?
Thanks
Nope not as far i can find anyway. Tried loads of sites and also repair shops.
Damn as Im on Orange and cheapest option for me will be buying on pay and go on vodafone but it will be locked! I dont want to buy and not be able to use until a few mounts go by and unlock method comes.
Doubt it will be months. 3 will do mine after 30 days.
Its just the codes aint on the servers yet for the unlock sites.

Pushes price up to £495 then.
Might be quicker to get from Three but cheaper on Asda with MediaLink HD and case for £465 sim free after my voucher.
It seems all the sellers of unlock codes for lumias on cricket on ebay are now saying 640 not supported.

Ditto, I also cannot get my Cricket 640 SIM unlocked.
You 'aint kidding!
I bought it to play with for $30 a few days ago...at the same time I was porting my number to another carrier. I've been a staunch Android guy for years. Who would have thought that I would LOVE this thing! Then of course the port goes through and my new love is a paperweight. I've tried 3 or 4 unlock places, all with the same results "Unable to provide Unlock Code". I have spent hours trying to find a way to unlock it. God I hope someone on here figures it out, I'd hate to have to sign up for the $70 plan for a month just to get this thing unlocked!
Search on ebay : Cricket Lumia 640 unlock code 1 - 48 hours Price 15$
Well, I gave in. After trying a number of free sites, and more than a few paid sites including:
UnlockBase
UnlockLocks.com
Code-Unlock-Store
UB Software
Ping
All of which had the same result (sorry, cant unlock this, here is your refund). I finally signed up with Cricket at the $70 plan. I called them to unlock it a few hours after activation. So well are those suckers locked, it took Cricket 3 days to get their own unlock code. Finally, after all those hoops, time wasted with other companies and hours looking online, I have my unlocked Lumia 640. $30 for the phone and $70 for one month of service to get code...still...could have been worse. That being said, lesson learned, Cricket does appear to be harder to unlock than any other provider out there!
Hi Other than the $70 plan has anyone been able to get unlock codes? I tried and most say that for Cricket Lumia 640 the success rate is quite low and most said Unable to provide code.
As of December 9th still no luck for me. Anyone has update please post
Thank you

Ya no one seems to be able to unlock this specific device. All sellers I asked tell me this : you need to be active on cricket network or take the 70$ plan to be able to unlock this. If anyone has been able to successfully unlock please share details!
Finally found a person to unlock via windowscentral forum. Worked perfect and is really fast. Cost $20.

I'd like to save 30 bucks if I can sim unlock my phone myself, and if wifi tethering won't turn on I'll need to root it anyway. Trying to use it on cricket.

From what I've read rooting doesn't do it. However there's someone on XDA that'll do a remote usb SIM unlock for free if you have rooted your device. I paid $20 to have mine unlocked — let's unlock and at&t unlock codes were the two cheapest and honest I found when trying to get mine unlock, just fyi.
