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.

Unlock lumia 520
I have been trying to unlock my nokia lumia 520 phone bought from AT&T with no luck. My region is blocked from paypal and so, I can't use ebay. Other sites are either too damn expensive or use paypal. What can I do?

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.
