Unlockable??

[nomad005]

I see people nitpicking over the barest detail with their phones, while all I want is to have the Atrix, a fast and so far from what I've heard is a reliable phone, unlocked so I can use it over seas.

When will unlocking be available??? It's killing me. I don't want AT&T ****ty plan when I can have Virgin's pay as you go plan.

[EDIT] Is GSMLiberty Legit???

And why isn't there a Stick Thread for Unlocked confirmation. I thought people would be interested in that.

cellunlock.net can unlock it according to a tweet they posted a day or two ago

 

[nomad005]

There still should be a sticky thread for confirmations and photos, so people can know.

Ive used cellunlock.net for previous unlocking when selling phones. If they said they can, it is true. You can always call them as they do have customer service support to verify it. Unlock Blackberry & Any Cell Phones Remotely by Code | CellUnlock.net

In the past I've called ATT support and told them I was traveling overseas and they would walk you through the process of unlocking. Used to do it with my Blackberry. Try that and let us know what happens.

 

[nomad005]

I was handed a line of bull**** about doing it. Even though I actually do go overseas.

Might want to call back and deal with a different CS rep, I've found in the past it depends on who you talk with.

AT&T reps often lie. Or, are misinformed.

AT&T's corporate policy is that ANY phone can be unlocked. Usually you have to be an AT&T account holder for more than 90 days (the account, paid 3 bills and posted, not just owning the phone) and when you call, they may take 48 hours to call you back with the code.

If anyone tells you they can't unlock, repeat after me:
"I need to speak to your supervisor."

I called 4 different stores and got no help. I am not going to bother with a CS rep that has been brainwashed into saying only no.

 

[nomad005]

cellunlock.net...

Can anyone else confirm this???

 

[ggong5150]

It's $39.99 on their site for the unlock code.

I've never dealt with a ATT store. Dial 611 and deal with a Support rep. Associates at stores are clueless.

same place... they probably charge by the model.

I just spoke to an AT&T 611 rep and she says they have a NEW POLICY:

No unlock codes for new phones until they have had the phone for one full year.

The store reps should have been able to tell you the same thing: NEW POLICY.

Now, is this legal,changing the policy without notifying the contract holder...that's something else again. But if you want to unlock code right now, you're going to have to pay a cracker.

40 dollars is a big cracker...

That sucks!! What happens if you upgraded your phone and were going away on business or a vacation. Shouldn't matter to ATT, since your on a contract. I would try talking to another CS rep.
