Just picked up an L920

[ROne21]

Hello all,

I picked up a yellow L920 last night from a AT&T authorized dealer with the plan of getting in unlocked. I got the phone alone, no contract and no pre-paid plan...just the phone. So right now, the phone is basically just like a tablet. I can connect thru wi-fi but cannot make phone calls. I paid $420 + tax, which I think is a very good deal. The lowest I've seen the price is from Amazon for $449. I just finished my contract with T-mobile so I am free to go with another service provider. I would prefer to stay with them for the unlimited data plan they have and the no contract deal but the L920 is the phone that I like at the moment.

My plan is to see if I can get it unlocked and use it through T-Mobile. I've called and inquired on a couple of places to get it unlocked but so far no luck. Is it possible to unlock a AT&T L920? If not, I can always return it and buy a factory unlocked one. Advice please. Thanks.

I've read that and whatever that came up with my search....in short...no solution.....I may be returning the phone back and just may pick up a factory unlock one.

Not for a few more weeks at any rate. You'd have to judge if it is worth waiting or paying the extra price.

While you're waiting to get unlocked, you can get a prepaid sim from an att mvno if you want to make calls.

I chatted with AT&T support. I was told that May 9th is the date AT&T can unlock Lumia 920. I asked the tech support to escalate it to next level and she did. I will post on the other thread after learning the result.

This was my plan but according here More Images Surface Of Nokia Lumia 920 Running On T-Mobile's Network | TmoNewsTmoNews , the AT&T L920 won't have the AWS bands in order for the phone to work with T-Mobile....any thoughts on this?
