"thats because its past the date when ATT said it would be "exclusive" to them"
I don't think so. AT&T released the phone, what Feb 22nd? March 22nd? And thier policy was not to unlock until one full year after release on an exclusive phone.
So either AT&T has changed their formal stated policy or some reps are making accidents. Either one would be nice.

I received my Atrix back in late February, and called them a few days later for the unlock code. I was told that it would not be available for six months, so called them back in late August, and was told then that it would be available after August 31. Called them again a few days after that, and was given the code.

Just got my unlock code this morning.. no prob at all. And the Atrix isn't even the phone listed on my account, so they're obviously giving them out freely. I thought I remembered reading something about a sim-unlock messing up the wifi or something but I couldn't find the thread where I saw it. So I'm hesitant to actually unlock it until I really need to. Anyone with issues unlocking?

No wi-fi problems so far on mine. Seems to be working OK.

Then apparently they have formally changed their policy to 6 months from date of release.

And it typical AT&T fashion, instead of telling the customers about this...they'll continue to piss off customers who will spend money on commercial unlock services instead.

If LLBean or 3M started offering cell phone service I'd jump to them right away. At least SOME companies know what "customer service" and "valued lifelong customer" means. No one in the cellco business does, apparently.

Unlocked, then locked again?

If i have android 2.2 at the moment that is SIM unlocked, then update to the official gingerbread from A&T, will my my phone stay SIM unlocked?

atrix is not exclusive to ATT anymore
*facepalm
it only was for the past 6 months before August
they wouldnt' give out the codes before August so we had to resort to cellunlock; I did when I got mine around March/April~

ATT will give out codes now; its not cause your brother works at ATT, please for the love of god; read the previous posts

@kOrter: the code is working ! you are good

I found the problem lies on baseband radio. Thats why the phone not respond when i input the code. By changing the radio firmware , now the radio respond the code. Now.. it is successfully unlocked.. thank you

Just to let you know I used mobifreedom.net to unlock my atrix on t-mobile uk and the code cost £5 gbp, took 10 minutes to arrive, and worked.

Cheers.
