    I'm an AT&T subscriber, purchased my Lumia 1520 from other than AT&T & they refused to unlock my phone (going thru the unlock portal). Called 611, pointed out to the CSR, I did NOT purchase it from them, paid full price elsewhere, I had the unlock code in a day.

    Key is I'm currently on their network, postpaid - you have to be a current or former subscriber.
    What was their reason for refusing ?

    I didn't want to start a new thread to ask this...

    I upgraded from a Lumia 920 to a Lumia 1520. I was able to keep my 920 and want to sell it. I requested an unlock code from AT&T and they sent it to me but the instructions say I have to insert a non AT&T SIM card to do the unlock process. Is this true or can I just unlock it with my AT&T SIM or no SIM?

    Any non AT&T SIM should suffice. You need some form of non-native SIM in to pull up the unlock SIM screen easier.

    Can I borrow someone's sim? I don't have one from another carrier.

    If you dont use another sim card, just type ##7820# and the screen will prompt to you place the code...
