Has Anyone Successfully Unlocked their Nokia Lumia 920 through 3rd Party Source?

[christopherbarran]

mobileincanada.com $20 USD (rogers 48/2012), took roughly 6 hours to get my code.

are you in the us? did you buy your rogers 920 off their website? i went to their website to try to get one but seems you have to get a contract with it, even though you select month to month.
i don't know if i should just buy an ATT 920 and sit on it till it can be unlocked. from amazon wireless you can get a locked att 920 "replacement" phone for 450.

Ordered mine from mobileincanada.com for my Rogers Lumia 920 for $20. I got my code about 16 hours later.

mobileincanada.com really works and its cheaper.

Devil Insulted: I am in the same boat as you. Let me know if you get a reply. I filed a dispute through Paypal already to get a refund. Its already January and in another 3 or 4 months AT&T themselves will unlock the phone. If these guys are not able to do it now, no point in paying them and waiting for them to do it.

As far as they can give me code within next 1 month i think its worth the price.

Just got 2 codes from FoneFunShop the first one failed but the second worked took 6 days very good considering its Christmas, phone working fine on Vodafone!

Same here, put my phones4u 920 down as from EE, took 6 days to find the unlock codes, two codes supplied first didn't work second did.

Does anyone else find it stressful typing in these codes, with the threat of only having 10 tries?

These people can unlock the 920 , you pay more and it does take about 9 days ....but if you bought the phone (white) in mint condition on Ebay for ?320 who cares. https://www.facebook.com/mobileunlocked?fref=ts

Heh guys. Here's my story.
Bought my phone from AT&T store in FL for $450.00. I don't live in the states. (Bahamas, twice the price here). Tried to get it unlocked throught some cell phone shops here, but always came n=back rejected. Called up AT&T customer service and they said my phone is available for unlock sometime between July & December. What a joke. Can anyone help??

Flashing different firmware will NOT unlock the phone for use with another sim card.

 

[Great deal]

Yep - same - got mine unlocked from same place in same way on Orange contract from P4U

Incorrect, I had an EE branded L920, flashed it with unbranded CV_GB ROM, Voda sim now works in it.

you were lucky to get an unlock phone in the first place, nothing to do with which brand/ver you flash afterwards. The sim lock is not even in the wp system.

 

[VegaNovus]

Phone wasn't unlocked. . . only EE/tmo/orange sims worked.

After a flash, all sims seem to work.

I have a 920 which was originally EE firmware, flashed generic CV and still locked, waiting for Fun Fone Shop to send a code through (7 days and counting). Flashing a new ROM does not affect the lock/unlock SIM status.

No luck with cellunlock, that site is a SCAM beware, I'm still waiting my money back :-S

Att sent me one code but it didn't work, and like 800 calls later they don't wanna sent me the other code, still trying tough

And I'm gonna try funfoneshop one of these days to see if I can finally get lucky :-]

Got my code from Fun Fone Shop, came in 8 days, they guy were great to talk with, would recommend!

They must get phones unlocked in batches as I got mine this morning too. Sent my request in on Friday evening.

 

[JoJoUK]

I think your right, when I emailed for an update during the week they said they were waiting for a batch to cone through. Perhaps they go to the carrier with a list? I can't figure out why else they would have to wait for batches.
