So I got the new torch when it released and now I got a perfectly good 9700 with a bunch of accessories just sitting around doing nothing..my first though - sell it!..my second thought - unlock it (logically) well I'm with AT&T (which I personally like) so I called them and asked for the unlock code and gave them the phones info and the rep said that since I used an upgrade on my account on dec 28, 2009 my phone won't be eligible for an unlock until dec 28, 2011.....wtf?!?! That has to be total bs! Am I still able to get an unlock code somewhere else?

There are lots of places online, I believe there is even a section here on CB dealing with unlocking phones. These places are not free but hey a few dollars to make a few more dollars is not bad.

AT&T just does not want to UNLOCK until the contract that you bought it under has run out... it's BS.

There are a lot of Unlocking sites. Just be careful. I would search the main Crackberry.com site as they have recommended a few places.

I would NEVER trust someone off Craigslist or eBay for a code.

BerryReview.com will do it for $9.00. I've never used them, so proceed at your own risk...

I have used them for my 9700. No problem unlocking.

[pshift]

Yup. Use one of the vendors here. Cheap and reliable. I've used one of them myself ...

[Username00089]

Search user cellunlocknet here on CB. PM them. I had a problem with this once and
this person handling it for me was quick and responsive and had an unlock code for
me within 10 minutes. Great service.

[JeePak]

Awesome, yea I was thinking about getting one off ebay. I figured att was telling me that because they didn't want me unlocking it
Thanks for the help crackberry nation!

I got my 9700 in March (upgrade, free phone through Lets Talk), called AT&T around May or June for unlock because I was going out of the country, and had the code in less than 4 hours. I guess you just fell on a moron who doesn't know better. Luckily, the number of morons in AT&T is small because in general I am extremely happy with the customer service I am getting from them and the knowledge of their reps. Try again.

Hmmm, funny! It appears it depends on the rep, I got mine around the same time and AT&T refused me last month, I told them I was going to Europe. They told me to put their world roaming plan on for a month! I have been a customer in good standing for at least 2 years.

It cost me a $1.99 here in the unlock forum.

[dLo GSR]

JUST KEEP CALLING. it's never taken me more than 2 different CSRs to get the code. Some are unhelpful, some very helpful, some completely clueless. Just be persistent. Don't waste your $5 on a code, because you CAN get it from from AT&T and I have ALWAYS gotten it from them. I unlocked my 9700 a week after getting it in 11/09. Save your money and go buy lunch.

My excuse is always "I'm going abroad to ____, and I have a local SIM card that I need to use there."

[barrist]

just get one for a few bucks off ebay.. if they have high feedback pretty much guarantees they're legit. if not you lose a few dollars, whoopdee doo.

�By law after having service for 6 months the phone company MUST give you the unlock code. You are allowed 1 unlock code every 90 days per line. This is a fact! Get a manager on the phone & tell them you travel to Panama & would like to use your phone as a backup. Really the reason doesn't matter. All that matters is that it is a Federal law that cell phone companies cannot hold ypu hostage after having the service for 6 months. I ALWAYS unlock every phone I buy just oincase I decide to sell high & buy a new release. Pin me for detail pin:2164DE76
