[Nokia Lumia 900] vamshivemula:
Same here

I too got same mail in less than 24 hours of my $69.99 refund. I was offered a special price of $9.99 and the mail read exact same as you, and when I tried on their Web site it is showing as $49.99. So, I sent them reply about this and awaiting reply. :rolleyes:
[Nokia Lumia 900] nav786:
Hi mate they sent me an email saying they will refund $40.00 back..so u have to pay $49.99 and $40.00 will be refunded
[Nokia Lumia 900] vamshivemula:
Can't believe it. My phone is UNLOCKED :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] loquillo711:
Could you tell me as you entered the unlock code(steps)? please .. I always got this message: SIM ERROR

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

after I entered ##782#, press the call button, or put it all together ##782#+UNLOCKCODE..?? thanks
[Nokia Lumia 900] vamshivemula:
AT&T is giving codes... no need to pay for the code.

I saved all this fuss by just calling AT&T as recommended by others in this forum and got it UNLOCKED. Only questions they asked was whether it is a contract or off-contract phone and whether I purchased it. I said that I was calling from India and I got this phone as a gift from my brother who is an AT&T customer. She asked no more questions. She just took my IMEI and gave the UNLOCK code immediately. Total call time was less than 3 minutes. :cowboy:
[Nokia Lumia 900] s0y:
My expericne

Nokia sent me a Lumia 900 back when it first launched but never used it because I have T-Mobile. Saw that everyone was getting codes yesterday and tried myself. Here are my results...

Call 1: AT&T - Can't you have to call Nokia

Call 2: Nokia - Can't you have to call back AT&T

Call 3: Can't, the IMEI is tied to a different Owner

Call 4: Can't because your IMEI is not generating an unlock code, but it says your eligible. Open escalation ticket, will hear back on unlock code in next 5 to 10 business days

Did anyone hear back from AT&T regarding the code not generating? I wonder if I should call back because it seems it's hit or miss with the reps.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SID_VARMA:
Thanks!

Thanks Vamshivemula!

Few other questions:

Does VODAFONE provide the microsim needed to work with this phone?

Since 4G is not yet there in India (correct me if I am wrong) can I use this phone on 3G?

What is the cost of this phone in India right now?

Thanks!
[Nokia Lumia 900] fham:
After seeing all the shocking posts about AT&T's mangles approach to SIM unlocking I tried my luck today.

1. Spoke to AT&T Customer Service, 1-800-331-0500

2. AT&T CSR was polite and helpful to a fault.

3. Told him that my Lumia 900 was bought off of eBay.

4. Gave him my IMEI #.

5. About 30 seconds later had the 8-digit SIM unlock code.

6. AT&T CSR led me through steps to input the code saying specifically that it can be done WITHOUT any SIM card.

7. Phone did not accept the procedure.

8. AT&T CSR connected me to Nokia, 1-888-665-4228.

9. Nokia CSR was very helpful too. Contradicted AT&T CSR and informed me that a Miscro-SIM card other than AT&T's has to be present to input the SIM unlock code.

10. Nokia CSR suggested I go to a T-Mo store, Radio Shack or ask a friend to lend me their Micro-SIM to do the procedure.

Now on to the next step.

Will report back soon on the success or lack thereof. But at least one hurdle has been overcome.
[Nokia Lumia 900] vamshivemula:
Info

Hey Sid,

Yes, Vodafone provides microSIM and charges Rs. 100/- for providing it. Alternative is you can cut your old regular Vodafone SIM with scissors. I did cut 3 SIMs (one Vodafone, one BSNL and one Tata Docomo) till now by keeping the AT&T SIM as reference template that is given while phone purchase and all 3 of them are working fine.

Coming to your 3G question, yes you can activate 3G on this device and it takes a maximum of 24 hours to activate 3G once a request has been placed with the customer care.

Lastly, the cost of Lumia 900 on official Nokia recommended Web site (http://nokia.indiatimes.com/nokia/10020/p_B10815) is Rs. 32,999/-.

Hope this answers all of your questions. Feel free to contact me for any further queries and I would be glad to help you. :good:

Vamshi
[Nokia Lumia 900] urtruelove78:
For me following.

1. Called at&t. They said eligible to unlock but don't have code. Call Nokia

2. Called Nokia. They said same as other poster said. We sent unlocked phone to at&t and only they can unlock it for you.

Got reference#. Nokia csr was ready to wait for conference call with at&t if I wanted to but I said I will call back.

3.called at&t again and explained what Nokia said. Csr said they don't have unlock code with them and will open a ticket for me. Texted me case# and said they should text unlock code within one week. If they don't contact with case#.

Now wait till one week

security code

Hi. I get my unlcok code from AT&T but the phone asks me to put PUK code!!?? Someone can help me to reset all security codes from my Lumia 900. I bought it in ebay and I can't return it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] xuninc:
Is it on screen that you haven't seen before? Like, not the dialpad screen, but a screen saying something about your sim card being made for another carrier? I got that same screen when I tried using a sprint sim card.. I just entered my unlock code since it said I had like 10 tries just in case and it said it was accepted and everything was fine after that..
[Nokia Lumia 900] didi79:
Try to call AT&T again and ask for the PUK code then..
[Nokia Lumia 900] sankeerth1991:
can we unlock the lumia's even if they are under contract?

i know AT&T won't give the codes for phones under contract.. but is there ny other way i can get it unlocked?
[Nokia Lumia 900] raysugar:
I haven't the original ATT Sim card. I have just buy the phone.

UPDATE: Reporting SIM Unlocked Joy

Update:

On my earlier post about SIM unlocking AT&T Nokia Lumia 900.

1. Went to T-Mo store and CSR allowed me to use a Micro-SIM card to check the unlock status.

2. Popped the Micro-SIM in the Lumia 900.

3. Powered up the phone.

4. Screen appeared asking for an Unlock code.

5. Input Unlock code acquired from AT&T.

6. No indication appeared saying "Code Accepted" which is how most earlier generation Nokias would behave.

7. Went to "Settings" on the Lumia 900.

8. "T-Mobile" appeared as the cellular network.

9. Back to the main screen on the Lumia. Indicated "T-Mobile" on the top left tile.

See attached image.
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
That's not true. You only need to survive through 90 days on the contract and you're eligible for unlock code.

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

You probably still need to use Network Setup app from Nokia to switch the carrier in order for MMS to work on T-Mobile.
[Nokia Lumia 900] zilab:
try your luck

Guys, just to tell you my experience, its actually a hit or miss, I called the international number

First call

- Unlock codes will be released in Decmber

Second call

- CSR said I have to be an ATT customer to be giving unlock code

Third call

- Told CSR that I'm not an ATT customer and that I want to request an unlock code, gave the code to me, but given a different procdedure, something like #***. But what you really just need to do is just pop in a non at&t sim, and it asks for the unlock code.

So basically after 3 tries, I finally got my unlock, difference of first call and second call are days, difference between second call and third call is just one hour. So I do hope you guys try at&t first before getting unlock codes from the third party.
[Nokia Lumia 900] fham:
Confirming that there is no need to input the #*** code. This is what ATT CSR told me to do. FAIL

Just put in a Micro-SIM different than AT&T's and the screen will allow you to input your code.

Coverage with T-Mo SIM:

Couldn't really ask T-Mo CSR if I could take their test Mirco-SIM card for a spin, so had to be restricted to moving about the store and its immediate vicinity outside.

Can confirm that got both Edge and 3G on the Lumia 900.

Miscro-SIMs are $20 at T-Mo but once you get a Micro-SIM you cannot use it in a handset that takes a regular SIM (unless you use a non-standard tray to insert it into the larger SIM card slot) Thus I will not be getting a Micro-SIM since that means giving up my Galaxy Nexus (my daily driver).
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
There are adapters you can buy for like a dollar on eBay that let you use a microsim on a regular sim.
[Nokia Lumia 900] fika82:
...

You probably have used all 10 attempts to enter the code, thus complicating the task yourself, call customer service AT & T, they may be able to help you. Good luck!
[Nokia Lumia 900] foxbat121:
No, PUK code is entirely different thing. It is a sim related security code that you have to ask the carrier of your sim card. If you are currently use an AT&T sim and it asks PUK code, you can get it directly from your online account management Web site.

[Nokia Lumia 900] Satyrös:
I've got unlock my Lumia 900 at 8th oct. Just I called and the only thing that I said was "My dad brought me this phone few days ago and I can't use it in my country". Then, the Att operator told me "Ok, let me know your IMEI Code." I gave her and then 30 sec passed by and she told me "Ok, here's your unlock code. Do you know how to unlock your model?". And that's all, no complicated to get it.

Cheers!

P.D: I'm from chile.
[Nokia Lumia 900] godashram:
Unlocked in 5 minutes via chat.... just told them I'm leaving the country for a few weeks and they gave it to me.....do I need it now? No. But it's nice to have when I do.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Picard_8525:
Worked for me too!!! ..on the 2nd try.

Called their international support (1-800-335-4685) on Oct 9th but the CSR gave me a case number and told me I had to wait 7 days for the unlock code.

I decided I can't wait any longer and attempted another call today and chose the "iphone unlock" option. I simply told the CSR that I needed to unlock my Lumia 900 and I don't have an AT&T account. I gave my phone's IMEI and without further questions i was given the unlock code.

I guess your chances will depend on the CSR. So unless there's a certain red flag on your phone's IMEI, there's no reason why AT&T can't give you the unlock code.

I got my At&t lumia 900 unlocked via ebay. I would have posted the item number here, but the seller no longer has it.

Couple of other sellers have the unlock e.g #120999140321 and 271078208297

Hope this helps
[Nokia Lumia 900] radwangon:
Yey!!!

I just called international support +19168434685 and got this really nice girl who only asked me if i had an account with them, i told her my phone was prepaid and that i didn't remember my number and since i was back in mexico my AT&T card did not get a signal for me to use it. She put me on hold for like 3 minutes after just asking for my first name and my IMEI and she came back with the code. Guys, DO NOT buy the code, you can totally get it for free :)

Tethering / WiFi hotspot on T-Mobile Lumia 900

Hey guys,

I've got a question for anyone with an unlocked Lumia 900 now on T-Mobile. I'm going to get the $30/month prepaid plan with unlimited data as soon as my Lumia 900 gets here.

I'm wondering if it's possible to use the Lumia for internet tethering or as a wifi-hotpot.

Hoping you guys have some experience with this.

Thanks!
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
No. Tethering is locked down by at&t and haven't found a way to remove that yet.
[Nokia Lumia 900] raysugar:
Hey loquillo, you have a solution? I've the same problem!!!
[Nokia Lumia 900] simpl3lang:
it might be possible with a tmobile sim. using an at&t sim....is a no no. but with a different carrier sim, it could work. i was in the philippines last week and i was able to turn on internet sharing multiple times. but when i got back to the USA and plugged the at&t sim back in. no matter what i do i couldnt turn on internet sharing.

do this with the tmobile sim. turn internet sharing on. if it doesnt work, turn the device off and turn it back on. once you get signal back, turn on internet sharing. it should work. at least it did for me while i was in the philippines

---------- Post added at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

just plug in the non-at&t simcard and try dialing something (if it doesnt automatically direct you to the enter PIN LOCK screen), it should kick you to the screen where you put in the PIN (unlock code). then enter. no need for the mumbo jumbo directions at&t reps gives you.
[Nokia Lumia 900] zilab:
guys after you unlock, can we flash this to non-att firmware so basically we can get a non-branded version?
[Nokia Lumia 900] fuzzy3000:
I think you should check in the development section for this information.

Case made by at&t

After I called the international customer care number(1800-335-4685) for the fourth time, they made a case number and told me to wait till october end for the case to solve. Is there any other option I can get my phone unlocked from AT&T?

Should I call them again and ask for it? It has been four days since I am calling them, and none of the CSR seems to help. One of them took my email ID and told me they will mail the code, but that didn't happen either.
[Nokia Lumia 900] aquanaut88:
i too am stymied by a consistent chain of refusals (at least 15 now since the 8th and several before then). Even commercial unlockers have returned payment multiple times after no success.

Lots of theories.

Phone came with a gophone card (a promotional gift). Activated mid-May. One of the ATT CRS's said unless could produce 'proof of purchase' I'd have to wait until mid-November (6-months after phone activated). So I may have to wait another 4-weeks...

Running out of ideas...

Tethering is not locked down. I was able to use it on tmobile.

[Nokia Lumia 900] wardoc22:
I am just done with this, time 2 get an iPhone. Better support, and more community driven hacks. I am no big plan of apple or anything, but I am just done.

Please follow up with the original question, it was whether one can use tethering on an ATT unlocked Lumia 900 on T-Mobile, which I answered yes...
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
It seems you can use tethering if you don't use network setup. So you lose MMS, but gain tethering.
[Nokia Lumia 900] zilab:
I've reset my Lumia 900, and didn't use network setup, just add apn manually, it still gives me an error to call 611/at&t.

Hey guys,

Is there anything like an email address I can contact AT&T international customer service and ask for the unlock code for my lumia 900 ?

If you use Skype or magic jack via WiFi , the call to their toll free number is free. I am assuming you live outside of the USA.

[Nokia Lumia 900] ballanda123:

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

Unlocking my Lumia from ebay

Hi guys,

So I bought a new Lumia 900 from ebay that said "Without contract." When I called AT&T, they told me that this phone was previously on an AT&T contract, and without the contract's information, the phone is ineligible for unlock.

I've contacted the ebay seller for the information (if he has any). In the meantime, what should I do? Keep calling them and see if I get lucky?

Thanks.

EDIT: Never mind, got it unlocked on the second call :D
[Nokia Lumia 900] urtruelove78:
So today I received text message from at&t that my case is resolved. But did not see unlock code in email or message.

When they made case it said by 18th afternoon they will have unlock code.

So called at night on 18th that i did not get unlock code as they promised and i'm really upset.

They gave $$ credit towards the bill and I asked some rollover minutes and I was going over.

Told them I'm going overseas which I'm so it's kinda urgent.

CSR was helpful and escalated case for me.

After receiving case resolved text message called att again and they had my unlock code which i plugged in my lumia and it worked.

Long story but in the end, I came out ahead as got credit on my account and those roll-over will same more bucks in few months.

So another Happy Ending.
[Nokia Lumia 900] mol14:
I have the same problem i have a phone that is elegible to be unlocked but code not found i am not custumer and i don' t know what to do.:confused:
[Nokia Lumia 900] fuzzy3000:
Try one of the paid unlock solution stated in the previous posts.
[Nokia Lumia 900] mol14:
I do not think it's fair to pay for something we can get for free.

I think it's just a case of outdated database. In a few weeks I will try again and see what happens.

There is also the possibility to open a case and request the code. It's a little more complicated since I am not customer.
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
Use Skype and call them. (Skype has a promo going for a free month of unlimited calls. Google the promo.) If it comes back code not found, tell them to make a case. They'll collect your details, and make a non-customer account for you and a case. Take it from there.

help~~

hello guys well this is my story...

I bought the Nokia Lumia 900 trought ebay months ago... I called AT&T and they not could help me... I already payed 3 services for unlocking on ebay and the refund my money because they cant....

what can I do??

anybody willing to help me?

thanks in advance!!

:((
[Nokia Lumia 900] fham:
Keep persisting.

Be firm but polite.

Explain the circumstances of your acquiring the Nokia Lumia 900 (i.e. via eBay) and tell them that you want to use the handset overseas.

Good luck.
[Nokia Lumia 900] mol14:
It seems that the newer models do not have the Unlock Code in database of AT&T. When the attendant search for Unlock Code in the database the answer is "Code Not Found" then the attendant says he has no Unlock Code available and that there is nothing to do.

What annoys me most is the indifference. I think they should at least give satisfaction, for example give a deadline for the customer to call again. I would be pleased if there was a little more willingness to help, but they are cold and do not seem interested in helping.

They just say no "Unlock code" available:. Translation: Get out! :rolleyes:
[Nokia Lumia 900] licbeto:
well...

Guess what? finally AT&T respond me and send me an email with the "unlock code",,,,

Guess the unlock code is wrong because is the same imei number...Do you think is some way of **** with me?

I even try it 3 times and yes... Thats not the unlock code....

I am willing to paaaaaaay!! somebody please help meeeee hahaha

unable to unlock

I called ATT and they provided me the unlock code in less than 5 minutes, now the big issue started right there. I have a white lumia 900 and its impossible to input the code, if i insert an invalid sim card the input dialog box doesnt appears, it just shows the no sim/invalid sim message, i tried 3 different sims, also, ##782# doesnt do anything, the phone tells me invalid sim cant make calls, also there's no way to write PW + code as the PW cant be written, no matter how quick or much i press the star sign, is there any other way to unlock or to get the input code dialog box, need help, thanks.
[Nokia Lumia 900] DownloaderZ:
Non AT&T customer here.

Called AT&T gave them the IEMI, they said unlockable but could not provide the code. I asked to speak to the manager, he agreed to unlock it.

Transfered me back to the operator. She took my info down and opened the case.

A few days later the unlock code was in my inbox.

Inserted the T-Mobile sim, input the code and we're good to go.

[Nokia Lumia 900] fenizer:
How i did it, and im not ATT customer

Yep, i called the first time, to the international number, i speak spanish so first tried in spanish, after a 15 minutes conversation with an ironically very helpful csr, he told me he could not locate the code. Ok. Waited 5 minutes and called again, this time to the iphone unlock in the english help, just said that im out of country and need to unlock my lumia 900, csr asked me the imei and in less thatn 30 seconds he gave me the unlock number, which succesfully unlocked my lumia.

The csr that helped me is called Douglas, last name i think its Scott but not so sure, so i will advice calling several times and in the iphone unlock option, good luck!.
[Nokia Lumia 900] rush_ad:
No luck again. They started a new Case but that didn't help either. They responded saying that the device is not eligible for unlock code.

I have the white version which was launched a little later. Do you think that has anything to do with that?

Anyone been able to get unlock code from ATT for a WHITE Lumia 900?
[Nokia Lumia 900] fenizer:
Yes, mine. White Lumia.
