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.

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.11-20-09 09:53 AMLike 0 - 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.11-20-09 09:55 AMLike 0

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.11-20-09 10:22 AMLike 0

Just call up and say you need a network subsidy unlock code and if you have a good standing account then its the law for them to provide a code for you, but worst case just buy one on ebay and I've bought some legit ones for under $4 so even if u call a few times and no one knows wtf they are doing and wont get you one, then its alright because they are not the only ones who can give you one11-20-09 10:25 AMLike 0 - Ridiculous. They're just trying to milk more money out of you. 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.11-20-09 11:24 AMLike 0

PS I would suggest anyone wanting an unlock to do it through their provider, no sense in paying something you can get for free

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.11-20-09 03:25 PMLike 0 - 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.
