I don't know

Call at&t and ask for the code?
Thanks for your reply, I can't actually contact AT&T, I'm not even in the US, i bought my phone from a guy (semi brand new ,, used for a couple of weeks), he used it with AT&T and unlocked it using the free apps on market (when it was GB 2.3.6) and sold it to me.
Now as you know when i try to upgrade to JB 4.2.2 it gets locked .. thats my story :)

I read that .. "in-app billing to unlock" .. its not free .. but thats not the main issue .. the main issue is even if i wanted to pay i couldn't over the internet .. haven't got a payment card for internet

thanks alot for your replies
I think the one on the market you pay for, the one in the thread is free.

You try to upgrade and it gets locked OR you upgraded and it gets locked???
I'm unaware of flashing custom ROM causing the sim-locked.

I upgraded to 4.2.2 CM10.1 rom and it got locked .. also tried the 4.2.2 AOKP rom and it got locked .. all 4.2.2 roms that i flashed caused the simlock ... also the shostock3 rom (4.1.2) does the same as dsmboost mentioned



I think the one on the market you pay for, the one in the thread is free.

both the one in the thread and the on in marked are free to download (apk) ... but when you install it and start it (press unlock) (it asks for payment)

Hi BeenAndroidized, I was looking for the number then thought if it was even ok to ask for unlocking a phone from the operator whom inteded to lock to their network in the first place .. i'm not an AT&T client, never been actually .. so i'm thinking will they help me unlock my phone promoting their users to sell the phones they bought from them ?!

Explain to them the situation. I think they should not have any problem giving you the code. Especially since the phone is more than 2 years.

hi knighted4, the link you shared is not working, But anyways Galaxsim Unlock was shared before .. its NOT free .. it requires over-internet payment which i have no way to do.

Thanks alot though :)
Is free if you download from xda and DON'T update it from store.

Hmmm, that's odd, maybe I'm behind the curve but still weird flashing custom ROM causes sim locked.
Can you revert back to the previous OS? 4.1.2 maybe and see if problem still there?

Anyway, where do you get the AOKP 4.2.2?
