AT&T rep claims they dont have unlock codes for the Bold?
I called AT&T to get my phone unlocked and the rep told me that along with the iPhone they don't have unlock codes for the Bold. Is this true? Anyone here that has gotten their Bold unlocked through AT&T? Please verify.

Not true.. I got my unlock code from them. Call back and talk to another CSR.

Some of the reps don't know what they are doing or don't know anything or arn't of any help because they are new.
But call again and try. It worked for me the second time. The first time some guy didn't know how to do it obviously and gave me the run around with transfers. The second call to 611, luckly i got a better rep.
If it helps, try saying your going out of country and you need it to use a 3rd party sim.
I have a business/premiere account with At&t so that might have helps.
Good luck and hopefully you'll get it sooner or later. - 11-20-2009, 09:55 AM #4
I had no problem getting one recently. Basic plan, new customer, only had the phone for about a month at the time. You just got someone lazy or not-fully-trained.

Why bother just get one from CellUnlock.net Wireless-Your #1 Source for Accessories, Parts, Repairs, Service & Unlocking!
- 11-20-2009, 09:58 AM #6 Why bother, because the unlock from the carrier is free. Lets compare prices.....

Call back and speak to a different rep.
I got my unlock code free by calling AT&T. No questions askediTouch & EVO 4G - 11-20-2009, 10:10 AMThread Author #9
He also said that I needed to add world roaming to my account at an additional 5 bucks a month? Do I need to do that? I want to have my facts straight before I call again.

Calling AT&T to get hassled out of unlocking your phone is a waste. But you can easily tell them, by calling AT&T that you are leaving the country and need it unlocked, and they will do it too. But if that's too much, just buy it. What does $8 do? it unlocks your phone. Stop being naive. Originally Posted by JD914 No thanks!
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 11-20-2009, 10:25 AM #12 thats complete BS, because if you would be really unlocking it to go to another country and use the phone then you wouldn't be using an ATT sim anyway and thats only a carrier thing they were talking about because the bold is quad band for world use anyway.

They must give you an unlock code for free, it's none of their business why you want it and you don't need anything additional to get it. If you get a CSR who has no clue what they're doing (actually it's tough to find one at AT&T that does know what they're doing) just ask for a supervisor. It's absolutely foolish to pay for an unlock code when you don't have to. Originally Posted by JD914

It's actually $14.99 not $8 but anyway I got it unlocked for free via ATT the second time around with no hassles. Thanks to everyone who provided me with info. Originally Posted by fabuloso

AT&T has been known for, well, screwing me over, with the OS 5 just restarting and restarting on ATTBB Bold 9000
ftw
but its on AT&T :l - 11-20-2009, 01:24 PM #18
Yeah if you have the option to call in and get an unlock code from your carrier, I would go down that avenue before paying for a third party service.
- 11-20-2009, 03:25 PM #20 Screw that bro! Call back and talk to a different rep. I've gotten an unlock Originally Posted by JD914
code from them 3 times. Two Bolds and an 8900 Curve. You do not have to
get their roaming plans. It's your phone and you have every right to the code. - 11-20-2009, 07:28 PM #21
I was going to call ATT to get my unlock code for my bold but when cell unlock was running that free unlock codes for 2 days the first time, I got my unlock code from them.. I refuse to pay for an unlock code when I can get it free. Originally Posted by JD914 It's actually $14.99 not $8 but anyway I got it unlocked for free via ATT the second time around with no hassles.

Yeah but if you cannot get it for free from your carrier because you do not meet their requirements that's where our services come into play and with no hassles or objections whatsoever.
