It pushes it up one department to the unlocking department, apparently. The lady I spoke to on the phone (The only one I've talked to who knew anything about Lumias.) said I should get a email back in a few days with a code. We'll see what happens. Either way, there's only what, 18 days? until it's able to be unlocked. If I get in a few days early so be it, if not meh.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Damionix:
Awesome News. Congrats!!

Congrats to you. I will give them a call tomorrow on my end and see what they say this time. I bought these phones from the Owners who were gonna switch to the iPhone 5. Hope they do unlock it for me.
[Nokia Lumia 900] pk-air:
Data speed is slow and actually not that bad but I don't use data a lot so it is fine for me. I hope T-Mobile going to get Nokia Lumia 920.
[Nokia Lumia 900] sensboston:
Just sent email to AT&T and got reply:

FYI: I've bought my Lumia 900 at May 1, 2012

So, read the FAQ!

P.S. The good news is: at least I've got a date. The bad news is: at December my Lumia will worth less than $100 on ebay (currently is about $180-200) :(

puk is a different code. You can get a puk code directly from att's website when logged in. That lock happens with you try guessing the screen unlock pin too many times.

[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
I'm not one, and was rejected as such a few days ago. However, I paid for a code on cellunlocker. Will report back if it's a success or not. Said it should take about 5 days.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Damionix:
Thanks for taking the Leap

I was gonna buy it from them too, but was not in a hurry. I will buy from there if the time frame is indeed manageable. Those 20 days and months are just ridiculous.

Thanks.
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
Yeah. I'll be sure to let everyone know as everyone else has here. I ordered Thursday night, and 5-7 days was quoted, not sure if business days or any days.

Unlocked My AT&T Lumia 900

Hi all,

New member here. I've been following this thread sadly since I received a cyan Lumia 900 as a gift with the notion that I would be going to the states. I did not end up moving, and was left with a phone I could only use on WiFi. I recently got it unlocked and wanted to share my process and proof so others in my position don't give up hope.

Not wishing to trust any of the online retailers, especially since the majority categorically deny having codes, I tried my luck calling AT&T. You can imagine that the conversation was awkward considering I'm neither an AT&T customer, nor an American citizen. In any event, on the third try they took pity on this Canadian and sent me through to the higher level where an application was filed for my unlock request, as has been detailed elsewhere on the forums. It was denied.

Some weeks later, I was in a local mall at a cellphone store trying to escape my nightmarish contract with Rogers when I off-handedly asked the gentleman helping me if he might know a way I can get my Lumia unlocked (not much else to do while waiting on hold with Rogers in the store). He recommended I see an inconspicuous looking booth downstairs that sold phone cases and performed phone unlocks.

I went, I spoke to the man, he called someone who called someone else, and within five minutes I was told it would be $90 with a 5-7 day wait and a guaranteed refund if they couldn't get it done. I gave my IMEI and paid, feeling safe enough knowing that I could always find the booth again, and waited.

On the fifth day, he called to say they have my code. On the sixth, I went and had him unlock the phone. A simple reboot later, my dear Lumia was happily connected to Rogers, making and receiving calls and texts. In order to properly access LTE service and get MMS working I had to use the Network Setup app, but now it's totally smooth sailing, I'm happy to report.

Pictures attached of the phone. Tried to get shots that show both the ROGERS label on the phone app and the AT&T branding on the phone.

All of which is to say...stay vigilant, folks! It's not impossible!
[Nokia Lumia 900] karel_e71:
Impressive story man... Where is the place?
[Nokia Lumia 900] Mathazzar:
It's in a mall called Erin Mills, in Mississauga Ontario (just outside Toronto)!
[Nokia Lumia 900] karel_e71:
OT: What kind of weather live tile is it?
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
I placed my code order on CellUnlocker.net late Thursday evening (About 9PM EST.) and this just arrived at 3:30am EST.

For proof. (My new SIM card comes tomorrow morning, I only had a badly cut unactivated SIM card. Will update then.)

I believe he paid $70 (kinda expensive)
[Nokia Lumia 900] karel_e71:
I paid 80 and still waiting..

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 900] Mr.Saclo:
I just paid on cellunlocker.net . Still waiting .
[Nokia Lumia 900] geological1:
Even though AT&T says Oct 8th I stil see potential frustration.

Paid $70 to cellunlocker to just get it done hopefully.

I'll let you know.
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
Same reason I did it. I'll still call on the 8th and try to get a code, just to document the process for a non-att customer for here.

New MicroSIM just came. So nice to finally see this.
[Nokia Lumia 900] fika82:
Hi all! I want to buy an unlock code, so how to get it from AT & T is not really for me, I am not their customer and live in another country. I plan to order the code at the beginning of October, I think the prices for unlocking this model will drop by half or more, as AT & T will give them is free to their customers ... Maybe someone else has thought about this ...?
[Nokia Lumia 900] didi79:
I choose to wait till early October. I've called ATT some times but no success..
[Nokia Lumia 900] karel_e71:
Hard to say if there is any relation between the ATT codes and the codes from unlocking sites. I d rather say no.
[Nokia Lumia 900] tai4de2:
Just out of curiosity does an unlocked device end up with access to Nokia Network Setup app in marketplace?

Besides the fact that I notice that the app has disappeared from the marketplace again, the description for it specifically said that setting APN and MMS would not happen for previously locked devices.

EDIT: I see the app in marketplace only if specifically searching for "Network Setup" -- it's not in the Nokia Collection, for example.

The description text is thus:

"Note:

1) On SIM locked devices, even after unlocking, this application will not configure the Internet and MMS settings."

WTF? Sorta makes unlocking partially pointless, if the above is true. Do you folks who have unlocked AT&T 900's have proper Internet and MMS function?
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
Worked fine for me, as soon as I entered in the unlock code, Network Setup popped up asked if I had Simple Mobile or T-Mobile and set itself up. Both MMS & Data worked fine after. I think they mean it may not setup LTE which is why they weren't going to release it at first.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Ura535:

I paid 69.99 usd, for the unlock code...

I received a code on day 5.
[Nokia Lumia 900] blackmamba:
One can easily roam on another network (especially outside the US) and claim it was unlocked...so these pictures may not be the real deal either.
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDQe8sfv0LQ#t=99s

Donno, there's me booting clearly an at&t Lumia and entering the unlock code with Network Setup coming up and saying I have T-Mobile/Simple Mobile. SIM comes up as invalid just because it was old and unactivated... wasn't cutting up my sim before I knew the code worked. Can also see my locale on the Weatherbug tile. I have no reason to put up a fake video, heh.
[Nokia Lumia 900] mol14:
I think it's time for people to be a little more positive. There is a pinned topic here saying that there is no way to unlock the Lumia 900 from AT&T and we already know that this is no longer true. The user Exiva is a long time actively participating in the forum and posting valuable information without interest to help everyone, I do not think it's fair to suspect his honesty and even less of his initiative. So let's be more positive and to collaborate with the topic since the solutions are appearing and that's good for everyone.

What do you think of posting links from sites that already proven that unlock is possible?
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
I talked to sensboston about editing the sticky, but he can't edit it anymore. I'll have to message a mod later.
[Nokia Lumia 900] pankaj981:
Can you do some speedtests on the 900 on T-Mobile? Want to know the actual speeds even though if its Edge
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
Yeah, sure. Let me find an app. I know bandwidth was pulled because speedtest.net complained.

Not very good, but I suppose that was to be expected. Hopefully the 1900MHz refarm is done soon, I know they are working fast to get it done by years end.

nokia lumia at and t 900 unlck

Hi,

I went to Mr Unlock and he charges 18 pounds but i email him first can u unlock nokia lumia 900 at and t and he said yes, so than i paid now he is saying he cant bt will refund d money with in 7 days, what a crook...

do u think its worth paying other site to gt it unlocked?
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
It's hard... Codes aren't exactly cheap at the moment, and it's unclear how exactly the process will work on the 8th with at&t. I didn't pay for my phone, so that's how I rationalized spending 70 USD just to end the headache already.
[Nokia Lumia 900] didi79:
we should wait..

IMO, we should wait after this month. Then we will make the decision.

I buy this Lumia for 300$ so i dont want to pay an 80$ for the unlock code.

If after September, Att wont release the unlock. I will.
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
If you are planning on using the at&t Lumia 900 on anything but at&t I highly, highly suggest you go check out SuperSports thread for Lumia 900 roms, and downgrade your Lumia back to pre-tango (if you upgraded already) to enable the "Highest Network Speed" hidden setting and turn off LTE. Huge, huge difference in battery life when it's not looking for LTE all the time.
[Nokia Lumia 900] loquillo711:
HI exiva, I bought 3 codes on September 19th according your good news, but still no codes from cellunlocker. Can you help me? thanks a lot
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:

Can some one tell me if its alright to use lumia 900 without the sim card? i have been using the phone in India where AT&T doesn't work, so i used it for few days without any signals, but i felt the battery was draining a bit quicker than usual, i want to know if i can use the phone without the sim for few more days( till the unlock codes are officially available.)

or is it suggestible to use it with the sim only and wait till the unlock codes get released?..
[Nokia Lumia 900] didi79:
Of course you would. I am using it for a week with wifi only. And i do believe att will soon

Release unlock codea for us..

Still if they don't i surely sell it. Bcause i don't need a phone that i cant make a call or text message officially.;)
[Nokia Lumia 900] pankaj981:
Ordered unlock codes, now waiting....

I was too restless to have a beautiful Lumia 900 sitting on my table top useless (that doesn't mean I don't like my current HTC Radar 4G) so I ordered the unlock code from cellunlocker yesterday, now just waiting for them to come back with a positive answer. Hope it works out...the only thing that I will be missing is the 4G/HSPA+ network from T-Mobile, that was blazing fast and cheap for 60 per month, I guess since I won't be using the 2GB 4G anyways, I will have to downgrade to the 50 plan..I hope T-Mobiles refarms Columbus, OH soon...!!:)

Nokia Lumia 900 AT&T Unlock

:laugh: Don't use these cellunlocking sites. I got mine unlocked from AT&T. I bought the phone from eBay not knowing that its locked to AT&T (ignorance on my part). I called AT&T, spoke to the agent and explained everything to her. She took my IMEI and email address and other info. Two days after I got my unlock code. You can try the same and save your self 60$ / 70$. I can upload the screenshots of my phone to proof as well.

Nouman from South Africa.
[Nokia Lumia 900] didi79:
What did you tell her, the agent??

I have a locked Lumia 900 too. And i have called AT&T for 3 times. But i don't know what to explain for unlock code.
[Nokia Lumia 900] akulasub:
I called AT&T's Overseas contact number " 1-916-843-4685 "

Spoke to a sweet female agent. I told her that I bought my Lumia from eBay which I'm unable to use in South Africa as its asking for an unlock code. She was very helpful. She took down my IMEI number which she punched in her system to check if it's AT&T Lumia which she confirmed that it was. She then asked me questions like where I'm calling from, when did I purchase it so and so.

She then went to speak to her manager or something and came back after 2mins. She asked me for some other serial numbers found on the back of the box. She then took down my contact details and my full name. She said they will check on their system if this phone is ok to be released from AT&T network ( outstanding account, not reported stolen and what not ). If everything is in order I should get my unlock code within 7 working days. Which I later did. If you want I can post screenshots of the email and pix of my Lumia as well.
[Nokia Lumia 900] didi79:
Thank you. I will give a try today. But my problem is i don't have the serial box..:(
[Nokia Lumia 900] akulasub:
Just try without the box then. You can tell them you purchased without the box and provide them with the IMEI etc. Should just be fine.:fingers-crossed:
[Nokia Lumia 900] didi79:
Failed.

Ive just called her.And after 5 minutes of waiting. She angrily refused me. But i didnt' do anything wrong.
[Nokia Lumia 900] JaiCameron:
Meh, guess i'll give them a call and see if I can get a code myself, seeing how it takes about 5-10 days for a code they might as well allow me to get one today since they plan on releasing them in 1 week.
[Nokia Lumia 900] mol14:
I called AT&T today and the operator informed me that the path to unlocking the Lumia 900 is:

https://www.att.com/deviceunlock

Questioned if this address would not be just to unlock the iphone and he informed me that the address also serves to unlock the Lumia 900.

Maybe those sites that are providing codes are using this resource to have access to the codes and are charging for something that can be free.

I posted my request today. I live in Brazil, let you know if it works at all.
[Nokia Lumia 900] geological1:
Nope.

Did this 2 times in the last 2 weeks.

First they told me the fax was illegible/never sent - it was.

Second they just turned me down.

Both via email.

Waste of time until may the 8th of Oct..
[Nokia Lumia 900] JaiCameron:
I think I'm going to just pay for the code from an unlock site. Calling at&t may seem simple enough but it's becoming too much of a hassle if they are THAT determined to not release the codes for the sake of gaining profit from their "exclusive agreement". It doesn't make good business sense to release the codes for free if you can still make a profit from them.

3) My suggestion: Sell that phone back in USA, and recover your money, or wait till October is over and then you will receive your code if Nokia and ATT want to be nice to you. But the sad part is that Lumia 920 releases end of this month. So Lumia 900 just got obsolete. Ouch!

So you have reached that time, waste enough your money-time and now you sell your phone and buy Lumia 920???
