How to get phone to ask for SIM unlock code? - Networking

my phone is definately locked and when i put in a SIM from another carrier, it does not ask for a SIM unlock code.. it just says SIM Locked with a dismiss button.
How can i get my phone to ask the unlock code?
Is this some setting in the build.prop file? i went through the whole file and tweaked a few ettings relatd to PUK but no luck.. any other settings you can think of?

ok, so i used lokiwiz and i got my code thingy. After that i put in a tmobile sim card and it went but didnt ask me to enter the code, so i tried making a phone call. It went through, and also stated under something that i was using tmobile..... was my phone unlocked from the beggining? Also, how can i find out if it is unlocked? thanks
bump..... anyone wanna tell me?
yes you did unlock your phone otherwise when you put your tm sim in it would ask for the lock code.

unlock sim by imei

where to find the codes to unlock the sim card.
through IMEI number.
that you can find it for free,,not pay
not your sim is locked, its your phone.
unlocking it for free is afaik not possible, beside its not legal.
buy your unlock code.

Unlocking ATT Atrix 4G question.

I called ATT and gave me my unlock code for my Motorola Atrix. I used a Tmobile sim card, entered the code. And it said Network unlocked successful. So do I need to enter the code every time I use a non-ATT sim or it is unlocked forever?
And if I do an update, would it still be unlocked, or would I need to re-enter the code.
Thanks.
It is permanently unlocked.
Your good to go

930A Flashed with 930U Unlock Question

I have a ATT 930A that I successfully flashed with 930U and it works great. I was thinking of making sure it was SIM unlocked in case later I wanted to sell it, so I made a request of ATT for the unlock code but when I try it it tells me the unlock was unsuccessful. Do I need to go back to 930A to make the code work?
Probably yes
I don't think so. Just put in a non AT&T SIM and it's gonna ask for an unlock code

I did but the code att gave me didn't work.
So did the phone prompt for a SIM unlock code and you typed it in, got an error? What is the error? SIM lock should not change when you flash different ROMs yo the phone.

Yes, after entering the code it says "incorrect network unlock code entered"
I had this problem with my S7. I had paid off my contract however every time I tried input my IMEI number to the AT&T unlock device website it would tell my my IMEI is invalid. i contacted AT&T customer service directly and gave them my informatio. They had to put the case in for the unlock code themselves. Reason was since i didn't finish the 2 years even though i paid off my contract it got lost in the system hope this helps

T-Mobile Sim Unlock??? Is there no workaround?

Soooo I have a N20U via T-Mobile and obtained a Sim Network Unlock code. Tried to use another carrier's sim card to enter the unlock code when prompted and was directed to the Network Unlock in the Mobile Network settings. I chose permanent unlock but T-Mobile wasn't going lol. Denied! Is there not a way around this to sim unlock the phone without going through T-Mobile??
Thanks for the help
