[Q] Unlock Dell Streak 7 outside USA

[manjulapra]

Hi,
I am from Sri Lanka. I have received a used Dell Streak 7 from my sis which is locked for T Mobile. I tried to get the unlock code from both Dell and T Mobile but they are asking either the purchase documents or details of a data plan, both my sis does not have as she has stopped using the tablet some time back. Currently the tab is in Sri Lanka.
Can anybody give some clue as to what should I do to get this tab unlocked?

Thanks in advance,

Manjula

You'd have better luck asking this in the Dell Streak 7 forum. This is the Dell Streak 5 forum.

However, if your sister doesn't have the proper information, you'll have to pay someone for an unlock code.

To get an unlock code from dell or t-mobile you have to be/show that you are the legitimate owner. And if not your only option is to buy the code from a reputed seller.
There are some web sites as well as ebay sellers that exclusively offer the s7 unlock code. it range from $30 at ebay to $55-$80 in web sites. Yet success rate is not known. Web sites like look more promising than ebay as usual look more promising (as well as the price) than ebay as usual

Normally I cut noobs some slack on their first post, but this post is just ridiculous. My recommendation is to sell your units, since you clearly don't have a clue what you're doing. After all, you managed to figure out how to quote what I posted, yet not actually read what I posted.

I'd have to agree, for the fact that the S7 CANNOT MAKE CALLS,
it's been asked dozens of times on the S7 forum.

The hardware is (likely) physically incapable of making calls.

the hardware is not likely .. it is physically incapable of making calls because thats the way it is being designed ...
however, there is this bluetooth hardware that allows you to make call using s7 ... i have seen that and even ipad or ipod can also make calls using it...

By make calls I mean cellular calls, the modem is incapable of making the connection.

I'm not talking about voip calls as it can do it natively.
It has a mic and speakers
