[Q] unlock codes (cellunlock.net seems best bet)

[franciscojavierleon]

if anyone knows of a site that will sell unlock codes online please comment. I live outside the US and want to buy this phone online but will need an unlock code.

I have already contacted some sites but they don't have an idea yet if/when they will get them

EDIT: supposedly swiftunlock.net and gsmliberty.net work, but no proof yet rather than words from users.

EDIT: pictures of atrix running under Bell operator unlocked

EDIT: most users report that cellunlock.net work, 40$ but with a 50% discount using the android50 code.

To find your IMEI, type *#06#

Hi Guys, I believe the Atrix will come unlocked. It is a world phone which I think means you will be able to insert a SIM card from over seas and it will work. Also I have heard that if you buy the phone and call ATT and tell them you are going over seas to use it they will give you the unlock code. But then again these are things that I have heard and wont be able to verify until I get my Atrix in the mail.

no phone from a carrier sells unlocked. i already tried att twitter account to get an unlock code but got a friendly no. maybe if i buy it a month later i could call att from venezuela with gmail to try and score an unlock code.

i have seen lots of sites:

mobileunlocked.co.uk supposedly sells it at 15$
unlockitnow.com supposedly has it too.
gsmliberty.net at 10$.
globalunlock.com seems serious and admitted they don't have it.

For the over seas thing to work with att you needed to have been in contract with them on that phone for 6 months or something

no phone from a carrier sells unlocked.

In central europe 95% of the cariers only give you unlocked phones .
And on top of that you can use almosst every phone with every carrier.

mobileunlocked.co.uk told me that all motorola codes are either 8 or 16 numbers and just rely on the IMEI and not the specific model.

find it on ebay

I'd also love to see this baby unlocked. I traveling to the US in 1 month and expect to buy one.......I'm crossing my fingers until then hoping for someone that guarantees to have an unlocked atrix

 

[franciscojavierleon]

find it on ebay

748$ on ebay, no thanks. And sadly, with my venezuelan credit card i need to buy the phone on a site that allows me to ship to a different address than on my credit card's billing address.

That leaves only amazon i think, but i may be wrong. If people know of other sites i would like to hear about them

 

[franciscojavierleon]

unlockitnow.com just answered my email saying that they are selling the unlock codes right now. don't know if they are trustworthy

This is completely incorrect. An AT&T world phone merely allows you to use the phone with an AT&T SIM outside the country at exorbitant rates.

Please don't post your guesses or misinformation, it only confuses people who are in need of help & then gets parroted elsewhere to other sites.

Ok, starting to freak out a bit here as a friend will buy the phone and bring it back to Germany for me this week; is there a risk that there might not be a way to remove the sim lock from the phone? I mean, all phones are eventually unlocked, aren't they? Even a guy at one AT&T shop I called on Saturday said that it shouldn't be a problem, just to go one of all the companies that are providing unlock keys on the web.

Don't want to be stuck with an unusable 400-500 $ brick..

 

[franciscojavierleon]

according to the info i am handling motorola's phones are one of the easiest to unlock. if you are that desperate try the links i have posted and write to them.

i have posted a link on the pricing thread that lists the phone at 550$ unlocked over at mobilecityonline.com

Well...that's not quite right. Because AT&T uses GSM tech, if you can unlock the phone, you absolutely can take out the AT&T SIM and swap it for a local one. I do it all the time when I travel: I buy a (local to where I happen to be) rechargeable SIM and I pay local rates rather than getting gouged by AT&T.

You must unlock the phone to do that, though.

i use theunlockr.com.

 

[franciscojavierleon]

i use theunlockr.com.

that site sucks. they don't have a link on the home page to buy unlocked codes, i had to go to "unlocking 101" under "wireless 101" and from there visit the "unlock for free" which tells you to call your provider after 3 months and at the end says "we sell them too", i tried the link: http://theunlockr.com/store/unlock-my-phone/ and it doesn't even load.
