[Q] It's possible to Sim-Unlock Nokia Lumia 710 Orange?

Hello, I come from Italy and I got a Nokia Lumia 710 sim-lock on Orange
I wanted to know if there is any way to sim-unlock my lumia 710
If I flash the lumia whit the custom rom + interop will it become sim free?
I read on forum that some people suggest to call the Orange company for unlock it.
The telephone come from Austria and I don't get the orange sim card, so I tryed to contact Orange- AU for the unlock and they reply me:
"Dear Mr. xx,
thank you for your reply.
We could not find the given IMEI 3593xxxxxxxxxxxxx in our system.
Please contact the seller to find a solution for your issue.
Thank you for your understanding."
I try to call Orange UK also and that's their reply:
"Dear O2 Customer,
Thank you for your unlatching request.
Sorry, We are unable to process your request as the IMEI given on the
form has not been used on O2 network."

Flashing a rom or interop unlock will not remove the sim lock.
There are websites that offer sim-unlocking for small fee. Just google sim unlock lumia 610 etc.
>>But before you pay any money for the service, search for reviews about that particular site and confirm that it is legit<<
Also I notised you said the phone is from Austria, correct?
But you stated you emailed Orange AU. Isnt AU = AUSTRALIA, not AUSTRIA?

Yea, sorry I type it wrong... The one who sold me the telephone told me that the device has a Simlock Orange in Austria... so it's Orange AT the one I emailed

Then I guess paying would be the easiest.
I dont think it costs that much, 20 eur or so (havent looked at the prices in a long time).
Do a google search on what offers there are, then when you find one you like (site looks professional, price etc), do another google search to find people who have used the site with success. If a site is legit you should be able to find boards, like xda, where people recommend it. Most likely you can find people recomending sites here on xda, if so, go and see do they offer the service to Lumia's.
Also I think I saw Lumia unlocks on eBay too if Im not totally wrong (my mind could be playing tricks here), but check that too. If I dont remember wrong I saw it for 10usd or something. There you should get buyer protection and you could also check for feedback.

the reason no one is getting unlock codes from the suppliers mentioned for lumia on orange or tmobile uk is because the lumia is actually locked to a new hybrid orange/tmobile mcc+mnc network.
phones locked to this network are not locked to tmobile or orange, they are actually locked to both networks, try both sims and you will see for yourself, that the phone will take sims from both networks, but not any other.
T-Mobile and Orange UK have merged recently.
They have started locking newer NOKIA handsets to a new MERGED network MNC+MCC
NEW T-Mobile / Orange UK Merge Lock uses MNC+MCC = 2343300190233141
Older Standard Orange UK uses MNC+MCC = 2343300000000000
Older Standard T-Mobile UK uses MNC+MCC = 2343000000000000

Known models with hybrid lock

I haven't read really in depth on your problem or on the specifics on your phone.. But I just unlocked my Samsung Focus S from AT&T for $25 at cellunlocker.net and they were great... Just some advice for future unlocks ect.

Nothing compared to the official Orange AT unlock, they want ~200 Euros from you... ripoff.
I'm considering buying a cheap 710 with A1 (also Austria) SIM lock, and I'd be interested in a method as well. Besides bringing it to a shop.

Cheers bud, i just tried this and it worked a treat

I highly recommend an ebay firm unlockfusion. I have had them unlock a few units for me and family. Last one was $2 and had the unlock code with minutes - the longest I've waited is 1 hour in the middle of the night.
Pay with paypal. They send an email with a login to their web site. Leave the details and a few minutes later they email you the unlock code. What more, I have had no further spam email from them at all.
(I'm not at all connected to them, but their service is unbeatable for a couple of bucks)

Who can unlock those bloody TMOBILE UK handsets ?

I have a Nokia E6 from TMOBILE UK and nobody online is able to give me the unlock code for it... It uses some merged network or something.
Anyone ?!?! Unbelievable, first time in the world a company totally locked the SIM and no one in the world can open it.

I thought you need an unlocked bootloader first? To do that i did it with fastboot for further info goolg eit.

You can ask T Mobile for the code themselves. They charge £20 I think. But probably that's only £10 more than the net. Call 150 from your phone.

I thought you need an unlocked bootloader first?

[Q] AT&T unlocking ?

HI,
I'm thinking of buying AT&T 1020, but I from Europe and don't want to wait any exclusive period to over (like 920) so I can unlock the phone.
Did someone tried this already to unlock 1020 bought from AT&T ?

Evidently there are reports of people getting AT&T to unlock their devices, but not everyone has been successful so your mileage may vary.

I called at&t to unlock and the rep said the device can't be unlocked till 2014. I called back and asked for a manager, I explained to him that I bought it at full price and the phone is not on a contract. I was actually told if a device is bought at full price then yes it can be Unlocked. the manger put me on hold and then returned with the unlock code just fight the issue with at&t and ask for a manager even if you have to call several times that is as long as you bought it full price.

Yes, I tried
Yes, I tried. Got very complicated Code with easy instruction. Now At&t Nokia Lumia 1020 phone is Unlocked. Thanks for attphoneunlockingshop(dot)us site's Support team.

Yes, I've got the same problem. Have you solved it?
Phone was unlocked with code provided by ATT rep, but tethering isn't working. I know that AT&T phones from Microsoft stores were unlocked by personnel without problems.
https://twitter.com/bongiozzo/status/383679862638387200 here is my conversation Nokia Care US (AT&T admitted that phone fully unlocked in their systems) with no resolution.
I've got additional Russian keyboard - so it doesn't look like solution.
Actually I've experienced once this problem when was using Lumia 920 with AT&T SIM in USA business trip. When I returned to Russia I couldn't share internet with the same error message.
So I launched Access Point from Settings which sets parameters to Cellular, MMS and Internet Sharing. Problem was solved.
But I don't have Access Point in my Lumia 1020 setting. Moreover, firmware of ATT Lumia 1020 is older than official Russian firmware of Lumia 920.
What is possible solution to enable internet sharing? It's critical for me.
Does flashing solve this problem? What ROM can I use for Lumia 1020?

I think the tethering is set by the carrier and even though you have you're phone unlocked, you can't get tethering working unless you're able to flash a ROM that enables it OOTB. I had a problem with an HTC 8X from Rogers on ATT. Could never solve the problem even though ATT help desk tried to help me for hours.

Nokia 1020 AT&T Tethering unlock solution
I bought my Nokia 1020 from NegriElectronics unlocked (AT&T).
It worked very well in Canada (Rogers), Portugal (Vodafone), Spain (Vodafone). So no question it was unlocked. But Tethering was not working.
I got in touch with Negri and they pointed out this article: http://www.wpcentral.com/issues-internet-sharing-windows-phone-try-out-diy-fix
But I could not apply the workaround because the Cellular Settings did not allow me to add a second APN. I could only update the existing or delete it and add it again.
Anyway, I found this page: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/Nokia-Windows-Phone-8-App-Updates/td-p/1640082
They had a QR code on it to update the Access Point settings app (My Phone did not have it, probably removed by AT&T). Link to QR Code: http://imgur.com/ZLdL6
After I installed the AccessPoint from the QR code, it added to my phone settings an Access Point configuration. Then I could follow the original steps from the WPCentral article.
My Nokia 1020 is now unlocked for Tethering, and I did not have to call AT&T or dial 611...

I'm interested in this one too. I have one on AT&T that I would like to get an unlock code for. All of the supposed videos with links on youtube that I've tried with "unlock code generators" are full of crap.

Anyone ever find an unlock code for these? I have one sitting here that I bought on Ebay that was guaranteed to be able to be unlocked....LOL...Needless to say I did get my money back, but the phone is still sitting here in a box...

Yours that is sitting in the box, is it the US AT&T version? If so you might be able to contact AT&T and get the unlock code for free. www.att.com/deviceunlock would be the site you would use.
