OK, Got this great deal on a locked Lumia 800. Have searched for a month now for someone who can provide an unlock code ( at any reasonable price ) with no luck. Not sure if it is specific to Claro Puerto Rico or not but I can find people offering to unlock this thing for most carriers except for them. Thought I would ask this community for guidance. I haven't been on since the windows mobile days , but used to find XDA users very helpful. I have the locked down bootloader, so I can't try flashing my way to a Sim unlock. If this is a lost cause I need to get this thing back on Ebay to find someone who can use it.

Thanks in advance, gentlemen and ladies

I'm in the same boat -- we probably purchased from the same eBay seller.

I just called Claro to see if they would give me an unlock code, but I struck out. I don't speak Spanish, and the customer service agent I was connected to spoke with a very strong Spanish accent / broken English. I don't think he really understood what I was asking for ... despite 'speaking to his supervisor'. I told them a friend gave me the phone, and that I was trying to use it in the US, but that it asked for an unlock code. I think he tried to say I should just go down to a T-Mobile or AT&T store to try to get them to unlock it. I think if I was a native Spanish speaker I would just call until I found a rep that knew what I was talking about...

Yeah I have the Claro Puerto Rico 710. Whati did was downgrade to the qualcomm bootloader. Then flash the new Rainbow v 4.2. The I use the NSS sim locker to unlock. This forum has help me all the way to getting my 710 unlocked. Hope this help.

Thanks....Looks like Lumia 800 users are not as fortunate as Lumia 710 owners as far as the downgrade options. Oh well I guess it goes back to Ebay where it belongs.
