Unlocked AT&T Lumia 920

[GZAZ]

Can someone confirm if they've been able to unlock the AT&T Lumia 920?
Was it through some paid service or through AT&T?

And if they have been able to test it on T-Mobile?

I am trying to make a decision really quick on purchasing the phone this weekend.

thanks

I don't believe anyone actually HAS an AT&T 920 to even try to unlock yet. I would say 99% of the people on this forum are getting theirs on Friday, and the other 1% are in Canada on Rogers.

AT&T will not unlock a phone they paid exclusivity for.

AT&T will unlock a phone if it is off-contract, though they're sometimes obnoxious about it. A quick e-mail to the corporate office, CC:ed to the FCC, tends to work wonders.

I have called twice to the AT&T corporate and asked if they can unlock the Lumia 920 if it's purchased off contract, and they said yes and asked me for the IMEI number.

So unless their policy changes, I am assuming AT&T will unlock the Nokia Lumia 920

The key is to call their call center, and if you fail, get a rep in store to help you.

I got my first 900 unlocked (before it broke) since I bought it at full price (no contract).

Yep, I am another fellow T-Mobile user just waiting anxiously to see if the AT&T version will support the T-Mobile bands.

Id be skeptical of att unlocking non contract phones.

Usually, they will not unlock a phone if it is an exclusive phone, once the exclusivity ends, your account is in good standing, you can probably unlock.

I think people with the 900 wasnt able to unlock an att phone until recently which was like 6 months after release.

ATT reps are not reliable, one will say yes others will say no.

I just came from the AT&T store, i asked the same question and was told no by the manager of that store. They said unlock codes wont be available until after the exclusivity ends.

I would definitely be interested to hear if you are successful....come back and tell us (no sarcasm meant)

maybe if we threaten them with returning the product, they'll unlock it.

Doubtful im sure a million people have already tried. Go ahead and return and fet hit with a restock fee.

I can't even pre-order the L920 online without being forced to buy a plan. This is even after choosing the off contract price. I am hoping Friday I can walk it and get the phone only. Might activate on Straight Talk until I can get it working on Tmobile.

I tried that with my Lumia 900. I just wanted to unlock it for international use. I started talking to the rep and asked if I could unlock it. They said yes and asked for the IMEI. I gave them the IMEI. They responded with, "I am sorry, it does not appear we can unlock your phone."

Essentially...they are clueless and just wait for the computer to tell them what is up once they have the IMEI. It was nearly impossible to get a Lumia 900 unlocked until October.

Unlocking AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 - The Saga begins..

Just brought my red beauty home to TO from Buffalo, time to unlock. I called the AT&T cs and talked to a very helpful rep (Vernon) who said that because the phone is so new, they do not have a process for unlocking it yet. He said to send in proof of purchase and a formal request via fax to him, and that I should get an unlock code within 3-7 days. According to him if you buy the phone for a full price, they have to unlock it for you.

What a great cs experience, makes me hate Rogers even more!!

I did the same thing. The CSRs from AT&T customer care told me positive answer, however, after submitting the IMEI, I was refused to be given the unlocking code. And I spoke to her supervisor, the supervisor suggested me to return it. While I was requesting a return in store, the manager of the store looked for method for unlocking it, but failed. I was told this phone won't get an unlock code at least until next March. So guys, buy an unlocked one, or wait.

UPDATE: Do not buy the AT&T! It is DEAD locked, trust me I tried everything. I waited for 7 days for AT&T and talked to like 5 reps all said that it should be no problem, but in the end thi is the answer I got:
