Unlock Code from AT&T denied?????

[aximtreo]

I submitted a request to have an unlock code for my 950xl so it could be used on T-Mobile. After 3 days with no update, I entered my request number and was advised that Microsoft no longer supported this device and AT&T could not get the code.

WTH: Has anyone else faced this?

I resubmitted and will see what happens. Scary stuff.
:devil:

Wait, which phone? No carrier has the 950xl directly, but if you mean the 950, I would suggest doing what you did already. Hopefully it will work this time.

The reason I even requested the code was so a buyer could activate on T-Mobile. When we put his SIM card in, it did not recognize it leading me to believe the phone was locked to AT&T; hence the request. I was shocked at the response. I am giving it another shot. Will update.

Hmm, my only possible guess is that maybe you registered the IMEI with AT&T and that might be why it is acting odd. Can you call AT&T and ask them to remove that device IMEI from their system.

I bought it used and never used it on AT&T. I used it on Cricket. Both are the same company I would think.

Hmm, that's odd. Wait, have you ever registered the IMEI with Cricket? If not, I have no idea what the issue can be.

Since I used it for a few weeks on Cricket it had to be listed with them otherwise the SIM would not have worked. Frustrating.

No, they are not the same company when it comes to device locking. An AT&T locked device will work on Cricket, but a Cricket device will not work on AT&T.

What if it just took unlisting it with them?

Is it a 950, or a 950XL?

If 950XL, those were never sold locked to any carrier in the US, you have some other problem (bad SIM maybe).
