My Streak is UNLOCKED!!!

Hi Guys,
Thanks to the lovely people at AT&T, I'm not the proud owner of an unlocked Dell Streak
They gave me an unlock code over the phone
BIG THUMBS UP AND MANY THANKS TO AT&T

Nice. How did you get them to give you the code?

I just asked them for it, they were actually really helpful. I gave them my IMEI, they put me on hold and 2 minutes later my Streak was unlocked

That's great news!

...but, correct me if I'm wrong, other than ATT US and Telstra (who both use the 850mhz UMTS band), you won't get 3G on any other provider. Right? So what are going to do with it unlocked?
Sorry but I'm still lost as to why folks are selling (and buying) the Streak unlocked or trying to get it unlocked by their carrier. I usually ONLY buy unlocked phones and use them on ATT; but I didn't see the reason to buy the Streak unlocked. It's not a dual, tri or quad band 3G phone.

and rogers in canada. but it doesnt matter. you can still do 2g gsm with any provider and in any country.

I shall correct you...
The AT&T Streak runs 3G on tri-band 850/1900/2100. Yes, Telstra runs on 850. However, as the Streak was NETWORK locked to AT&T, if I put my Telstra sim in the phone would not work. Furthermore, Optus and Vodafone both run a 2100MHz 3G band here in cities and regional centres (even Wagga Wagga). So if I did switch carriers, I could still use it.
You ask what am I going to do with it... I plan on using it with a network other than AT&T i.e. Testra. In order to to that the phone had to be unlocked
I got this AT&T Streak unlocked so I could use it in Australia on the Telstra network. In Australia, Optus have an exclusivity deal with Dell so Telstra do not sell the Streak. Does that clear up with you why I got this phone unlocked? Because when it was locked to AT&T, I could not use it. Now it is unlocked, I can. Simple...

Got it!!

Thanks for that explanation! I saw you were ATT and I assumed that meant you were in the US. It makes sense for you to have it unlocked to use in Wagga Wagga.

Streak and Telstra
I am wanting to upgrade from my Telstra HD2 to a Streak. I was looking at using a my Telstra sim in an 'unlocked' optus unit.I see ATT/Dell US now sell 'unlocked' Streak's.
Did you import your Streak, or should I try to get the 850 working on a Optus?
If you have heard anything regarding optus units, please post.
Thanks

You can't just "get the 850 working" on an Optus Streak. The the frequencies that the phone will operate on is a hardware issue and no software can change that. The Optus Streak will ONLY use the 900/2100 bands for 3G and no amount of unlocking will make it use the 850 band for 3G.
The only Streak that is compatible with the Next G network is the AT&T version and I'm not 100%, but I think the Canadian version is also 850 3G.
I imported my Streak from the USA. If you wait until the 8th of December, you could get yourself either the Black or the Cherry Red unlocked directly from Dell.
http://www.dell.com/us/p/mobile-streak/fs
The only catch is, you need to find someone who is willing to do the ordering and post it for you. This also means that you need to be really confident in the xda member you're dealing with. I recently struck a deal with Killster on this forum, although I have dealt with him in the past. Personally, I prefer the white Streak from Best Buy over the cherry red but they aren't unlocked and you need to try your luck with AT&T to get an unlock code. I have unlocked two Streaks this way but I have no idea if they will unlock the Streak from Best Buy. I have a rebel sim so it's not that big a deal anyway .
Your best be would be to offer a trade for your HD2 plus cash in the Marketplace. Just be careful though, do some research on any xda members you deal with and ALWAYS keep everything public (no dealings finalised in PM).
Hope this helps,
Kris

Well there you go...
Either way, it's not hard to phone AT&T and ask them for a unlock code. I can't guarantee that they'll give you one but I have already unlocked two Streaks this way

Thanks for the info guys.
I saw the Engadget post a few days back,but was unsure about a US based telco giving me an unlock code.It's worth a try.
If I have no luck getting a Dell US unit, I believe Optus only has an exclusive for another month, so Telstra may offer it..?
Vodafone AUS were very forthcoming with a (sim) unlock code for a Legend I own, so it they get the Streak I could could give them a try..

New Unlocked Dell Streak! Froyo! TMobile USA 3G!!!!

Update: The three dell reps i talked to (one even being a supervisor) all claimed it would work with 3G, but ajftl on post #19 seems to have finally gotten a rep with a knowledgable responce, and after some research came back with:
12:19:31 AM Agent Donald T
yes we do have the unlocked version.. that can work with T-Mobile
12:20:06 AM Customer Manny
ok. work on t mobile 3g?
12:20:14 AM Customer Manny
or edge only?
12:20:58 AM Agent Donald T
2G with T Mobile.. 3G with AT&T
12:21:15 AM Customer Manny
ok .. thanks thats what i thought ...
SORRY! NOTHING NEW HERE...
Disclaimer: after my initial excitement of using this device contract free on TMobile USA with 3G and discussion in this thread, I have come to the conclusion Dell reps aren't usually the brightest when it comes to what they sell and the info delivered by them should be taken with a grain of salt. Given the fact that no rep would acknowledge the different frequencies used between TMo and ATT and would only refer to a phones "unlocked" status...
I just chatted with a dell rep on their website and they said the new unlocked streak will work on TMobile's 3G, HSPA+ even! Although i am skeptical it will be able to take advantage of the full speed... I tried to be as clear in my questioning as possible.
Here is my chat:

10:57:35 AM Mannilene_H Hi Mike!
10:57:44 AM Mike Yes i was wondering if the new "unlocked" dell streak could be used on TMobile's3g
10:58:10 AM Mannilene_H Glad you chatted in today.
10:58:21 AM Mike thanks
10:58:25 AM Mannilene_H Yes. As long as it's unlocked..
10:59:24 AM Mike So you are telling me for a fact that the new unlocked dell streak will work with Tmobile USA 3g network and not just ATT like the previous?
10:59:50 AM Mannilene_H Yes.
11:00:25 AM Mannilene_H Even with the other mobile network provider as well
11:00:26 AM Mike Wow cool I may have to actually get it then! do you know if it works with TMo's HSPA+ network?
11:01:31 AM Mannilene_H Let me check
11:01:34 AM Mike So sorry to keep verifying, but your saying the new unlocked dell streak will work with both TMobile 3G and ATT 3G? Sorry it's just blowing my mind because all the internet news is saying otherwise...
11:02:13 AM Mike and i've wanted this phone for a while but don't like ATT
11:02:26 AM Mannilene_H Oh I see.
11:02:47 AM Mannilene_H Yes, it will work as long as it's unlocked
11:03:02 AM Mannilene_H I've used the dell streak and it's a really great phone
11:03:18 AM Mike Ok! Awesome! I just might get one in the next couple of days then!!!!
11:03:32 AM Mannilene_H That would be great!
11:03:48 AM Mannilene_H You can place the order online..
11:04:02 AM Mannilene_H Or we could call you back once you're ready to purchase
11:04:39 AM Mike Thank you! I guess that is all! oh wait one more thing.. I read a rumore that dell is working on what i'll call the "streak 2" with a dual core processor have you heard anything about that?
11:06:05 AM Mannilene_H Not heard of that exact information yet. However the development team keeps on working on new products so sooner or later we might have that too.
11:06:45 AM Mike ok. Thank you!
11:06:51 AM Mannilene_H It's my goal today to provide you with excellent customer service. Was there anything else I could've done differently to better your experience with us?

these will be available within the next 2 weeks. nothing new here. its the branded devices that have carrier-lock.

Except it is available to order on the dell website and will work with Tmo USA 3g Everything i have read indicated it would most likely still only get ATT 3G only bonus was factory unlocked for faster updates etc... but if this works on TMo USA 3G its GREAT!!!

Are they refering to the white ones?

No. Black/Carbon

ATT Ruby Red also available..

Would be nice if true, but there have been no announced hardware changes for the the streak to work on tmobile's hspa+ network. Only a handfull of the 1000 beta streaks have the correct gsm frequency. For hspa+ to work, the streak needs tmobile's 1700/2100 aws band frequency. I think the dell rep is mis-informed.

Yeah, I'm not sure either... I'm definitely stopping by my local TMo (which just so happens to be the only cell phone store that can actually hold a conversation with me regarding cellphones!!!) and ask them if they know anything...

hmm.... I am still skeptical, I want to believe it, but I will have to see it for myself.
A lot of the reps are mis-informed, noticed how she kept saying "as long as it is unlocked" I think this person has no clue about the different frequencies used by Tmo and ATT.

Exactly. I've been using a Beta Streak on TMO but just because it's 'unlocked' doesn't mean I get 3G. Please, original poster, or anyone else.... show us all in writing where the unlocked Streak will work with TMO's 3G.
You guys here in this forum on XDA should be smarter than to believe some random rep. Dell has been screwing us before. I won't believe it even after I see it on an official Dell page... only if I see them for sale and out in the wild!!

Yeah... I didn't manage to get over to my TMo like i wanted... but i just got off the phone with a dell customer support supervisor and he kept insisting the it would work with Tmobiles 3G... But you're right... I probably jumped the gun with this post. I appologize. I am still a little skeptical as well because they don't seem to ever recognize the fact that Tmo and ATT support different frequencies. They just keep saying "as long as it's unlocked"...

got a question for the unlocked streaks, will att know what device you are on...im asking because i have used unlocked devices as the nokia e71, and nexus and att doesnt kmow what device im using..for me thats good cause the imei comes up unknown...i would like to know this before i go ahead and get the unlocked version...also wht are the advantages of the unlocked over the branded ones other then updates faster and no att bloat ware...

mormegil83, just FYI, I talked to a buddy of mine who works at TMO (I worked at corporate store as well for 4 years)... they haven't heard anything about the Streak. The retail reps are usually kept in the dark. They would have only gotten any communication from the company if TMO were launching a Streak. So don't beat yourself up that you didn't make it down to a store today lol.

If anybody ever gets their hands on one in person, you can check the frequencies available by entering the engineering mode unlock code in the dialer, there is a radio band selector app among the engineering mode apps.

just got off the phone with dell and got the new baseband its going to be the 1100 one so no I dont think it will have t-mobile 3g in the USA this sucks to because art is starting to piss me off with over charges....

wow can someone get the gsm frequency from Dell Iv tried from the Dell mobility people they are so stupid couldn't get to the page they needed....

well .. I just got off the phone with a local guy selling me one of those unlocked streak i asked him if it works on tmo 3g... he says yes.. i asked him r u sure and he says hold on im gonna double check gonna insert my friends tmo sim card...tic tia tic tac he said yes it pick tmo 3g it says 3g on top...i told him ok im willing to meet u but here is the deal im going to insert my tmo sim if it picks tmo 3g u got a deal..he says ok np

Wow how could he have one of the new unlocked ones already they just got put up on the Dell website today I think this might be one of the beta ones Dell gave out... There is only like 1000 of them that Dell put t-mobile 3g gsm frequencys on.... Good buy if it is.... PS is it 2.2

Damn! I much more likely to believe your guy than the three i spoke with... I guess it is same ol' story then... just slightly faster updates... that also explains why tethering is "free" With ATT 2GB data cap there is no reason to charge us for tether. We will just continually get hit with overage charges! So the only advantage for paying the xtra $30 is slightly faster updates -probably same updates the Euro version gets- and no ATT bloatware. BOOO!!!

Trade T-Mobile N1 for AT&T N1?

I bought a used N1 on eBay. I totally wasn't even thinking about the fact that there are different models of the phone for different carriers. Turns out I have the T-Mobile N1, but I have AT&T service currently.
I assume that there is no kind of mod/firmware to get it to use AT&T 3G, and that it's the hardware that limits me to T-Mo? Probably more than some custom firmware or something could fix?
That kind of sucks, if so. I doubt anyone would have an AT&T model, looking for a T-Mo model, eh?
Thanks for any help, if it's even possible..

Have you looked at the seller's return policy?

No returns accepted, as stated on the item page.
I can live with it (in remorse)..
The seller didn't mention what model it was at all, either.
I don't suppose Verizon uses the same bands as T-Mo?

No, they don't. T-Mobile and Verizon use totally different radio technologies.
Go onto the Marketplace forum on XDA, and trade/sell it through there.

Put your sim card in it

Post it for sale locally on craigslist to finance a unit with the AT&T radio.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Also if you have trouble locating the AT&T compatible N1, you may also consider the Telus version of HTC Desire. Largely the same hardware, AT&T bands, but no Euro 2100 band.
Possible bonus: AT&T does not know the IMEI of Telus Androids, and might not force you to a higher cost smart phone data plan.

Thanks for your input, guys.
I'll try first to sell it locally via Craigslist.

I really think that it will be much more difficult
since they discontinued the Nexus One, and provided it through the developers only,
it has always been the T-Mobile version which is quite disappointing....
the AT&T version seem to just disappear from manufacturing all together
point I am trying to make is that it the AT&T version should be much rarer and possibly worth more on the market since there are less quantities of it
it sucks my friend I feel for you...

How is the T-Mobile N1 different from AT&T model?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Different radio frequencies and limited availability. Otherwise identical.

I've done the exact opposite...got myself an ATT N1 while on tmobile...hahaha

hahah. I've since sold my T-Mo N1 on eBay and bought an AT&T N1 from Craigslist.. got a sweet deal, too!

wait wait a sec
If you Unlock the S off on the nexus one Tmobile. You can use a At&t sm card with out a problem. I UnloCked the S off ON the mytouch 4g AND IT works on At&t s network. HMMMM. Wondering if it works.

Yes, it will function on the network. The issue is that the radio hardware is built for specific frequencies, which differ between the T-Mobile and AT&T models.
You can use one phone on the other's network just fine as a phone, but you will be limited to 2G data speeds, as AT&T uses 850/1900MHz for their 3G data and T-Mobile uses 900 1700/2100MHz.

Umm, nobody uses 900 MHz for cellular in North America... that spectrum is not allocated for that purpose here.

You're right, my apologies. The fact of the matter (that the hardware is incompatible between the AT&T and T-Mobile networks) remains intact though.
Correct 3G data frequency information, as best I can make it out:
AT&T uses 850MHz and 1900MHz.
T-Mobile uses 1700MHz and 2100MHz.
900MHz and 2100MHz are used primarily in Europe; a phone made for European markets will have a better chance of being fully compatible with T-Mobile's network in the states based on sharing the 2100MHz band.

Closer but still not quite
Read up on the AWS band. European phones will not get T-Mobile 3G at all without 1700.
But in the specific case of the Nexus One, models sold in Europe do have AWS.

I just got the mytouch 4g and i wanted to sell my nexus one. But i wanted to double check and see if i can sell it to someone on the at&t network. I currently have tmobile. I thought the S-Off was to completely unlock the phone. So u can switch between carriers. Didnt know the frequency would be different. thank guyz. Damn u HTC.

What kind of shape is your T-Mobile N1 in?
I'm actually in the process of switching to T-Mobile, and I have an ATT model that I would potentially be interested in trading, but it's definitely not mint.

Cincinnati Bell has the tmobile streak

I just read on Modaco that the streak 5 being sold by Cincinnati Bell has the 1700 frequency that allows you to get 3g on tmobile. So all you guys that want to use it on tmobile there you go.

Unlocked AWS Dell Streak
I have several Unlocked AWS Dell Streak's that I am willing to sell for $495. If anyone is interested please PM me. These are very rare and hard to find AWS Dell Streaks that work on T-Mobile 3G bands (UMTS 2100/1700/900 GSM/EDGE 1900/1800/900/850)

No offence taken, but you cannot buy one from them unless you sign a 2 year contract. If you try purchasing one without a contract you need to be an existing customer, and I do not think may people here are Cincinnati Bell customers.

I have several Unlocked AWS Dell Streak's that I am willing to sell for $495. If anyone is interested please PM me. These are very rare and hard to find AWS Dell Streaks that work on T-Mobile 3G bands (UMTS 2100/1700/900 GSM/EDGE 1900/1800/900/850)

It really depends, eBay is a gamble sometimes. I've seen AWS ones sell for $400 plus but they were buy it nows, Its difficult to guess how much an auction will go to. Unless you get lucky, buy it nows may take a while to find the right buyer
