Free but it's not always the easiest thing to get. Sometime you just have to bite your teeth and go to ebay and get a code. THere is a couple posts on here with credible places to get unlock codes if T-Mobile wont give it up. Also make sure to mention you are going out of country and need the unlock code to use other cell phone companies in said country. Also I believe it's the law that they have to give it to you so also try to mention that.

Yes, T-mobile will do it for free if you call them and ask them that you need your phone unlocked.

Call T-mo, tell them "I am going to Japan (or whatever) next week and I need my phone unlocked so i can insert a foreign sim for two weeks."
Psychoace was correct.
They might try to tell you they have an international plan but be firm and they will email you an unlock code within 48 hours. I've done this on my wing and then my g1 in previous years. no hassles.

No you no need Generate the own Unlock code,You can unlock it simply using the unlock code purchase from this online site Mobile-unlocker.com/samsung-vibrant/rs2wp9/ and Unlock Samsung Vibrant.

Cool good to know.

Try calling again and ask for a supervisor. I know it sounds corny but I had the same thing happen and I had to call more then 4 times and then I asked for a supervisor and actually got one that I could understand and she was very nice and within a week I got my unlock code. They said it would take up to 14 days but got it in 7 so I was happy. Give it a try it can't hurt...
There is one on ebay for 9 dollars or so.. A bit pricey, but if you need it instantly, then it would be your best bet.

Thanx!! I got 2 devices within 5 months unlocked by calling 611, and HTC doesn't want to provide me another one until May of the next year. And I kind of need to unlock my device now. If you take Samsung for instance, you could find an app/tool for your PC that will generate you an unlock code from IMEI number you provide. HTC is big enough company to have some sort of same apps out there. Does anybody know of any?? Thank You

AT&T X10a Unlocked

i have tried many places and none of them were able to provide unlock code for AT&T's X10a. but my last hope (the code) came in today and unlocked my X10a right away. am i the first one who has unlocked AT&T's version by code instead of cable?
edit: 12/18/2010
hi, guys
in order to get unlock code i need correct info to be filled out as a note/message, when you make payment at paypal.
please do not PM me with any info, it is very easy to lost track of PMs you are welcome to notify me about your donation though.
1. IMEI and S/N (serial number) under your battery
2. exact model and which network your phone is locked to
3. your XDA ID (to notify you when your code is ready)
4. i can only send code to paypal verified email address, the one when you register/make payment with paypal.
please note, it takes 7-10 days to get code.
thanks
Can you provide more info and/or explain more, thanks.

X10 Unlock
From my side.. it's three weeks that I'm trying to unlock this damn piece of cell phone, but no way.
At first I was quite confident wit cellunlockers.net, but after 10 days they refund my money saying -no way-.
Then I tried mobileincanada.com who where really very fast, they refunded my money after only 40 minutes
Last try with unlocking.com, after 10 days they were still looking for excuses, they did not find any code (on their web site they promise a next day solution!) so I asked for a refund, that they did not want to give me !!!
I opened a debate on paypal and after a couple of days I had my money back, but the cell phone is still locked..
So if anyone has a solution, please help ! AT&T supplies the unlock sequence (for free) only after 90 days from the purchase....
I too am having no luck with my X10 from AT&T so if theres not development I am going to go ahead and sell the phone....
Update: Got it Unlocked from Cellunlocker.net (Cable method)....

flashing a new firmware won't work. I have nordic 2.1 and while my att sim works, a tmobile one doesn't. the phone is hardware locked, and that's why it need the code that's based on the IMEI and the S/N

It's even easier to get an unlock code from them if you're not a customer. Just call and ask for it.

There is a 90 day waiting period. And even then, they can use the exclusivity clause and not give you the lock code.

just out of curiosity, have you guys unlocked your AT&T's X10a?
i'm X10a owner and have been trying hard to get a code. fortunately, a friend of mine happen to have THE connection.
you can either get your code or just ignore it.

Agreed. I have tried to get the unlock code for my AT&T X10a for 2 months with no success. Gave Lancez my S/N and IMEI and 10 days later received my unlock code as a PM. Inserted a different SIM card in my phone, entered the code and VOLA..! The phone was network unlocked! No pain, no hassle.

[Q] Can anyone unlock phones?

I need to unlock my HD2. I need to get the 25 digit activation code. Does anyone on here know how to do this or could point me in the cheapest direction for the newest database? i know mine needs a code from the most up to date database.
thanks.
:]
There is a lot of threads on this exact subject, please use search next time.
Now as for your question yes you can simple unlock your HD2 as well as most other smartphones that require a simple card to work. I see your carrier is listed as T-Mobile so all you have to do is contact T-Mobile And tell them you need a unlock code cor your HD2. Tell them you are going to have to go out of country for business or a vacation and you want to be able to use a local carrier's services while there. Or if you want just tekl them you are going to terminate your contract with them and switch to another carrier, but still want to use your HD2 and not have to buy another phone. I recommend the first suggestion myself but hey sometimes honesty is the best policy. Your other option is to go to Ebay and buy a code. they are not expensive at all. It is up to you how you want to go about getting your code. Be advised though using your HD2 with another carrier. You will only get Edge signal for your data signal. This is because of the hardware in the HD2 not the software. If you are switching to AT&T the Australian HD2 can use AT&T's 3G Signal but no other HD2.
contacting t-mobile isn't an option. ill just save up money and buy one on ebay. i knew i was gonna have to do that but i was just seeing if anyone on XDA could unlock phones.
is there a way to unlock my phone for free without calling t-mobile? like how do the people on ebay/other sites do it?
guess not....? :[
unlock code
I just got the phone off Craigslist, I didn't waste time spend little $, went to three sites, try and get codes, no luck, waste times, n hope I ll get my $ back. After 2 weeks, I finally got unlcok code from the seller, who's carrier is tmobile, since I asked him I can't get the unlock code from different sites, so he finally forwarded tmobile email w unlock code to me. So especially u r with t mobile , and why not hv they give u code?

You can get a friend who uses tmobile to do it for you? You get one unlock code every 90 days. I've unlocked two phones already including my HD2 and they don't care whose phone it belongs to.
All they ask for is the IMEI, the phone model, and an email address to contact you to send you the code. At first I got a confirmation email a day after calling, then the three days later they sent me the code.
they dont look up account info?

Not from my experience, I previously had a Samsung phone with TMobile and when I called them and told them I wanted to unlock an HD2 they didn't ask any questions and just asked for phone info. They even offered me free unlimited internet for a month as a promotional offer, lol.
Just make sure your bill is paid, they won't give you the unlock code if your bill is outstanding.
TMobile has some awesome service, I'm going to miss them.
yea, i have an outstanding bill. i tried calling them and just saying i bought the phone off of someone. they said they needed the original owner to call them. guess ill just get 1 off ebay.

Your best bet is to get it from the orignal carrier. Other then that you can pay a few places to get the code and sometimes they will have it. But remember that it is illegal now without the carriers permission.

Can it be done? Yes. The only 100% way is to get the unlock from the carrier. Any GSM phone CAN be unlocked. Some research would have told you that. What does a theme have to do with it?

I think what he was trying to do is teach you how to fish for yourself...... instead of just giving you a fish. This way you can find your own answers and do some reading and learn while doing so. Most of the devs on XDA get frustrated because people do not try to get their own answers and just want someone to figure it out for them instead. These usually are the people who brick their phones and don't know how to fix them. Then they post here about how urgent it is and need someone to help them un brick their phones. I have seen this so many times here......
I was contemplating purchasing a phone from a seller on craigslist. I am an AT&T customer and my account is in good standing. I called from my ATT phone and connected with a customer service representative. After about 2 minutes of establishing rapport and explaining that this phone would be for my wife for mother's day and I wanted to be certain it wasn't reported stolen. I also explained that we will be traveling in the next month to go to Cambodia. She said no problem, and I received a text with the unlock code. Total time on the phone was under 3 minutes.
if you pay full price for the phone from a carrier (meaning the off contract price), they are legally obligated to provide you the unlock code. if you didn't you have to use a website's services

i had the s3 for att unlocked yesterday i sold my s3 to get the s4,call and say you want the network sim unlock code they will ask for imei and then youll wait while they search to make sure its not stolen or blacklisted and if its fine they give you code and instructions how to do it ,but idk if they will for the s4 just yet,had it unlocked for tmo
Why not unlock the phone for free with the hidden menu option?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285431
ATT sucks
I fought with them for hours to get an unlock code and they told me i had to cancel my contract and pay the fee to get the code. I canceled my contract and fought with them until they credited my fee and they said in 24hrs you can have an unlock code fromt he protal on ATT.com. I waited and tried and tried and tried and it didnt work they said it couldnt be unlocked at this time.. So i called them back and after about 45minutes on the phone with another rep he said that they told me bad information and you need to fully complete your contract to be able to get an unlock code then offered to start me back up and give me a free month. Thats not what i wanted because im goign to tmobile for a pay as you go plan but in the end, ATT screwed me and then kept going on about how it wasnt their fault but it was and they werent going to do anyhting about giving me an unlock code. Now im using Unlock-Code-World.com and they are taking forever to give me a code and probably wont even work anyway because they replied for me information saying they could crack it with what i had given them. Unfortunately the free way also doesnt work anymore because they locked it down in 4.3 or even the mf3 in 4.2.2 but who knows, it doesnt work.

dont you think i already asked? i not only asked, but they cant even do it in store. i need to call them to do it. and you need a rogers account as well so they have somewhere to take the money from. thats what they told me.
ps. just got another email from cellunlocker.net stating they are still working on it and to please be patient
pps. and another one. money was refunded. they cant unlock it.

hmm. only 15 dollars doing it from their website. lets see if they get a code for me.
edit: they finally got back to me:
"I'm sorry but we could not find an unlock code for your phone in the Rogers database. There is a second option: to search for the code with Samsung supplier. This second option costs $ 29.9 and it takes about 20 minutes."
edit 2:
ok. works now. a little more than i wanted to pay but at least its less than the 50 that rogers wanted.
edit 3:
sigh.. unlocking wipes the phone and you need to redo EVERYTHING.
