- Start date
the dude prolly works for at&t which is why he can't 'remember'.
I'm reaching out to all my contacts in the u.s.a. To see if I can get any inside info/help.
can't believe how adamant people here in xda-developers, its all because of you people I have hope in getting this at&t lumia 900 unlocked. Kudos to all xda-developers member.
Now here's hoping we can get to the bottom of this, I do hope this guy the guy remembers where he had his phone unlocked.

Called him today. He told that they do the unlocking for Lumia but server are not stable and asked me to give him a call in a week.
A part of me wants to give up as well. But im still pretty confident that it will be available in the next 3 weeks. In 3 weeks the exclusitivity period with AT&T will be over. Im waiting for my answer for my complaint I filed which I will be receiving in May 4. I actually bought one from an AT&T store with them knowing that I live in Canada. I wish they told me that it couldn't be unlocked. But what worries me is that even AT&T customers are claiming that AT&T won't hiv them an unlock code. They have good excuse. Better than me. I have 2 phones. I know Rogers Canada has them too but the reason I bought the AT&T model is because I wanted the cyan color.

Any update today? Hope the phone can be unlocked before the refunding deadline...
does not look like it. I was talking to a guy who claimed that he works for Nokia and said there is no way you will be able to unlock Lumia 900 on ATT before October. Well i don't know if we can trust him but certainly looks like he might be right.
Lets not give up
There is plenty of clever guys out there that can do miracles with anything that has software, a few weeks more and i am sure that we will see a solution to this and be happy with our phones
Keep on looking and searching, it will be out there!

I have already sent him a message with the IMEI. Will wait and see what they will reply
Asking at&t to unlock one of their flagship phones the first week or month it's out is probably not going to be successful. Wait a few months for the hype to die down and then call them up and tell them you are going on a trip and need to change the SIM when you get to your destination country. They've always helped me. You just have to give it a reasonable amount of time.
I've been sitting here watching their twitter feed after your post. And I'm a little worried, going by the formatting of each "tweet", that they're posting automatically based off of form submittals. The rate for the Lumia posts seemed to accelerate after the initial one. Which is good in one way, but makes me suspicious of the idea that they'd be able to rapidly obtain codes within such short minute spans. It makes me think it's just auto-tweets triggered by excited hopefuls.
If you go to check the tweets, you'll notice that every post has different writings for the model and the network. The form on their site asks that the customer type themselves the phone model number and a line for the country & network simultaneously.The later correlating with each tweet specifically saying "ATT USA" or "US ATT". There was one that also popped up that had a weird code RM-808, which I hope was someone testing the theory that I'm explaining. lol I was excited for a fix finally. If someone could be so kind as to post a confirmation of unlocking.
Edit: Also, I'd check myself but I'm at work and left my IMEI at home.
Edit2: Yeah, I just tried to submit one with an incorrect IMEI for a "Lumia9000". Yes, "Nine Thousand". I didn't have to confirm pay. I also accidentally double clicked and got them to double tweet my form.

While so far I've been skeptical of breakthroughs on here.. This one makes me a bit curious.
I submitted an order for the fun of it. However you have to select a "tool" to use which corresponds with the phone/network. I selected "AT&T/Cingular $12". I did now notice there was also one listed as "AT&T/Cingular USA Nokia Express (4-10 days) $35". I'll start with the one I already selected for now and see what happens.

Well whatever, I guess I'll get my $12 refunded shortly in that case.
I found another seller on eBay selling an AT&T unlocked Lumia 900. As usual it says it's already unlocked. It's up for bid and with 42 bids already with a few days left on it.
I messaged the seller asking for proof it's unlocked.
I'm just curiouis as to why there is a bad guy in this. This week is 1 month since the preorders arrived. This is the flagship phone. There was an exclusive contract. But there are still lots of complaining. They are only now starting to unlock some iPhones.
Are we victims of our own expectations?
I just got a refund from that site. Doesn't work. Waste of time

4Here is what i did.
when i called them i told that i have received this phone as gift from MS (this was true) and i have a signed contract with MS and i am suppose to develop software for Nokia Lumia ( now this was complete bull**** ) therefor i need to unlock the phone so i can test the software on different networks (another bull****). The lady on the phone said that they can not provide the unlock code then i told that they will have to send me mail so i can tell MS guys that ATT has refused to unlock the phone(another bull****). She put me on hold for like 20 mins or so and after that asked for my MS partner ( developer account) account details which i provided. again she put me on hold for some time and then i was told they have raised a spacial case request to unlock the phone and i should receive the code in 5-7 days. I got the code after 7 days which did not work and replied to the same mail saying it did not work they asked me to wait for 5-6 more days and i got the code yesterday.
Below is the mail i received

http://www.gsmfast.net/order.php2FYI people, AT&T HAS the codes but either lower level reps don't have required access level to see them or they are not allowed to do so because they are always reviewed by their superiors. But AT&T does have the codes.
It is impossible that Nokia manufactured these phones without providing unlock codes for them as these unlock codes are paired with the phone as it is finished being manufactured. AT&T has the codes, but you will only get it if you try hard enough. But making up different stories every time you call will definitely put you into a black list.
There is no such thing as free cheese. As for me, I am planning to call AT&T as soon as I exchange my Lumia for another.2Dang, I blocked sitizenx's posts but now I have to read them in other peoples quotes
The guy is a legend in his own mind and he isnt worth the trouble.
I think he is one of those people who believes that he will get the last word in, repeat it often enough that everyone else will capitulate to his superior intelect.
I have chosen not to play his game anymore and I suggest those of you up in arms over his posts do the same.2
What?! What law school did you go to? If you have a contract it doesn't matter whether you are a buyer or seller. The contract must be honored. Get a refund on that mail order law degree.
What?! Where do people get this stuff? If a sales representative of at&t makes a contract with you at&t is responsible. When I've had issues who do you think gets my certified letter some BS manager? No man, that thing gets mailed directly to the CEO and it is the corporate office that mails me my check.
I have these problems from time to time and you know what? I turn them into big business' problems. I have a 100% success rate on refunds. Actually it's higher than that to be honest because they often give me back a lot more than I asked for originally.
You will never make any headway dealing with trolls. Do you really want to know how to solve your problem and get a FREE phone? I'll tell you because unlike trolls I actually have knowledge and want to help.
Here is the procedure. I hope you bought this phone with a credit card like Mastercard or Visa. If you did it's simple. File a dispute with your credit card. Check your credit card's website it should have the information on there.
Before you file the dispute you need to make a paper trail. First look up who the CEO is and what the corporate address is. This should be in the 10-K filed with the SEC. It can be found in the SEC EDGAR database. Next write a very succinct objective letter stating the FACTS and what you would like (ie total refund or unlock code). Include a copy of your receipt and some supporting evidence that you live in Canada. Maybe a stamped passport page. I don't know if they do that for you guys or not. Maybe a copy of an id card with a Canada address if you feel comfortable sending that. Keep a copy of everything you send with the letter and the letter itself. Send the letter with some kind of delivery confirmation or via certified mail. In your letter ask for a response within 15 CALENDAR days so they don't BS you and tell you it was Arbor Day so they couldn't get back to you.
Now that letter may very well get you what you want. If it does not send a copy of it and all the documents you sent at&t to your credit card along with a polite OBJECTIVE dispute letter. Tell them you paid nearly $500 dollars for a phone they were giving away for free because you were told by paying that amount of money you could get it unlocked with no contract. Where ever possible include names dates and addresses. Send this letter to your credit card with some kind of delivery confirmation. You must first make a good faith effort to try and resolve the issue with the company. Unlike what some trolls were suggesting do NOT call. You've tried that already. Besides at the end of the phone call you have NO proof the phone call actually happened. Anyone that tells you to call at this stage is an idiot. You need to send certified letters or at a minimum letters with delivery confirmation so you can establish a paper trail. Email is acceptable as well. By which I mean you may include your email address in the certified letter to the CEO. Do NOT send an email to so BS person in customer service at this stage. You want to escalate this to the top.
Assuming you follow all my instructions to the letter and you write a professional polite OBJECTIVE letter you should get what you want. If they do not give you a 100% refund or unlock code your credit card will issue you a 100% refund. You won't even have to send the phone back to at&t. This has happened with me with other products and services. You will get a free Lumia 900. Then you just have to wait around for someone to come up with a reliable way to unlock it.
I am not making any of this up. The problem with America is the public is totally passive... unless it comes to bombing innocent unarmed women and children half way around the world. Then it's all flag pins and rah, rah. When a corporation decides to screw them it's "corporations are people" and they deserve our sympathy.
"Buyer beware." Yeah, F that. How about corporation beware. Don't get mad, get even. Seriously research your Canadian credit card contract and make sure it works the same as mine does in the US. If it does you will get everything you want without even having to go to court. If all else fails THEN go to small claims court. Frankly I wouldn't even mention the whole lawsuit angle in your initial letter. Let them turn you down and then dispute the charge. You will get a free phone.
Now you may say this seems like a bit of hassle. Really? You get a $500 phone for free at the end of it best case scenario. How long does it take you to earn $500? How many hours worth of work would you do for $500? You think internet trolls make $500 in a day? Doubt it. Ignore them.
