Who did you buy the code from?

UnlockFrog

I am also waiting for my code from UnlockFrog. They said they expect to get it before the end of this week.

Wow. You guys don't give up, do you?

so got an unlock code from mobilefun.co.uk only for it to be the wrong one. The lumia phones have a code thats strictly numbers, no hashes, letters or stars. the code i got was similar to this format #pw+418636523456123+1# . Now have to wait for customer services to get back.

That code looks similar to the ones used to unlock the old S60 handsets

With all Nokia phones (apart from Lumia) you had to enter the following:
#PW+UNLOCKCODE+1#

To unlock your phone.

With the Lumia you only need to put in a non EE Sim Card and when prompted for a code type in 418636523456123
The code I received from UnlockFrog started with a 9 though so maybe the code itself is indeed wrong?
Might be worth a try though if you haven't tried it already.

I just unlocked using cellunlocker - it took about 2 weeks to get the code though.

Just enter the numbers - I got the same and tried just the numbers and it worked. When I say the numbers, I just entered the numbers in the middle of the + +.

In your example, that would be 418636523456123

Hi all,

Someone in the UK has successfully unlocked their phone through fonefunshop and the code only took 5 days to arrive (more info on the Nokia Lumia 920 thread in the Overclockers UK forum)...

Those who are saying they unlocked their phones.

What carrier are they locked to? At&t? Rogers?

I think the recent successes are from UK customers, correct me if I'm wrong?
It has been well documented that Rogers 920s are easily unlocked (by Rogers, for $50) - I'm one of them. Not sure about AT&T

You dont have to send the phone in. There is also the option to request code via email. Search under "View all unlocking services" on their main homepage

My friend works for a mobile accessory business and gets me unlock codes for my clients. I have asked him to find me one and his first request came negative. Still waiting to hear back from him from his other search since he has several databases he can choose from.

This is also for a Rogers Lumina 920
