Just curious.
I would try as soon as your phone shows up within your online account which would mean they have it in their system. Like bayfisher1958 said 23 to 48 hrs.
Keep this URL handy https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/request/#/unlockstep1.
I just unlocked my S7E and got the Unlock code/response within 5 minutes! That never happened before with my iPhones!
so i can buy an att s8+ and att will unlock for me? so i can use it on cricket? i know cricket uses att towers but i rather have an unlocked phone

thank you!! i probably gonna pay it off cash.
I thought they wont unlock until 14 day from purchase date due to buyers remorse to return where bought from???

You can pre order it from Best buy and have it picked up in store it saves you on shipping. You will not get any of the deals like 100$ off because you are not activating a at&t line, upgrade,etc. Also just curious what does it matter being unlocked for cricket? Does the carrier read cricket instead of at&t or something when you see the provider if you unlock it? I am getting the at&t version to outright but didn't know if unlocking the phone did something or not.

Nothing to gain by unlocking other than using it on Tmobile, using abroad w gsm carrier and can sell at higher price.

SUCH BS!!! They should at least give you the option if you buy your device outright. This makes me never want to purchase a device from AT&T ever again. Will definitely be buying the unlocked international Samsung devices from now on. HSPA+ is fast enough.
SCREW YOU AT&T!!!

Hopefully not T-Mobile. Their the only carrier that matters now.
The only way this madness will stop is if the companies like samsung, htc, moto put their foot down and say we are not locking down our bootloaders take the phones as is especially samsung imagine if at&t and verizon couldnt carry the S4 or the S5 all the money they would lose think they would be singing a different tune with locking down everything.

I agree. If Samsung would adopt more of Apple's strict procedures, they'd make a lot more.
I'd love to get off AT&T and go to T-Mobile, but I just can't live with the spotty H+/EDGE coverage. Hopefully they'll get some lower spectrum soon, because their 1700AWS frequencies can't penetrate a paper bag.

and this is why att and verizon can pull this sort of crap cause they know they have the best lte 4g coverage and don't even think about sprint with their coverage.
THis sucks.... with the new added feature with paying every month for your device.... and having manufacturers making LTE unlocked devices... looks like I will be paying full price to avoid this crap.

Hello my questions is, I want to buy my son a prepaid moto G from Verizon... BUT I need to use it on ATT. I want to buy him a decent photo but also need a decent $80 price tag . He is 12. I have not used any moto phones yet and need to find out kind of quickly here if it can or can't be done and if so what I have to do to make it work on ATT.
Nope you will need to buy the unlocked gsm version xt1032 one... The Verizon is CDMA only...
---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------
Why not get him the boost mobile version... Cheap price tag at 80 dollars and 45 dollars a month for unlimited talk and text and 5GB of data...
I already have a line on Att for him. But I am trying to get him a cheap phone but a good one at the same time. What about boost will that work?

Not works on Boost
You Need GSM version, not cdma version, Verizon and Boost are cdma
OK I thought if unlocked that this could work on a GSM.
So I'm debating whether or not to pick up an S6. I'm not tied down by any contracts or anything, so I'm free to choose my carrier. Both carriers have pretty decent reception around where I live, so reception is also a non-issue.
I know that T-Mobile variants are generally easier to root and have a lot less bloatware on them, however I've been with AT&T for a while. Which one do you guys think I should pick up?
Pick the one which is cheaper.

Thanks for the input. I think I'll be going the T-Mobile route because I want to be able to root my phone. Also because AT&T got rid of their 3gb data plan option.
Hi;
I currently have Cricket for cell phone service. Yes, I know I do not need it unlocked ATT model to run on Cricket. I paid $935 last Friday, did not activate the ATT sim card that came with the phone but, rather insert my Cricket card and working like a champ. I went to ATT unlock device website but it does not recognize the imei of the phone either as an ATT customer or non ATT customer and thus unable to complete request to unlock it.
Reason I want it unlocked is because I jump based on best price offer for prepaid service available whether it is TMobile, MetroPCS or Cricket.
I called ATT customer service service and after explaining the above matter, they set up a case and said it would be unlocked by today Monday. Sunday I get a email that the feature is now available for my imei on my Apple ipad pro 9.7???? That email made no sense as it is a phone and not an ipad. I called 2x yesterday and they held their ground that I must have it on their gophone or ATT post paid plan for 6 months. I said I am not interested in ATT plans as Cricket is a better bang for their bucks.
Any suggestions how to approach ATT in a different manner to unlock it. I am thinking of just taking it back to BB and ordering the unlock version even thought they are slower on updates. My last option would be to just pay in ebay to get it unlocked.
Any any help will be appreciated,
Ian B

Maybe you should just suck it up and pay a service to unlock your phone, I would be scared to return and new one will have issues (red tint) ECT, after seeing the update speed for g935u I will never buy that unlocked us model, why dont you get the g955f ? Battery life and speed looks to be supreme
this makes no sense.
if you on cricket, what's the hurry to unlock it?
att phones work on cricket, no need to unlock

You have to activate the service on AT&T and then unlock it. The IMEI is not updated until you activate it. even if you bought it outright. You have to activate it on the plan AT&T gave you and then unlock it. After that you can cancel the AT&T plan and go to where you wish.
I have a AT&T store. If you need more assistants let me know.
If you wanted to pay full retail you should've just ordered from the Samsung website. They give you the unlock code from there. Or visit CellUnlocker and pay $24.99 for a unlock code. it takes two-three days to receive it.

Do samsung.com send unlock code automatically or is it something I have to request to their customer service?
I just bought AT&T S8+ from Samsung.com. It will be great if I get the unlock code from Samsung once it is shipped out.
If I'm understanding what you said correctly, AT&T's database does not have IMEI of unactivated phone registered. Am I right?
Do you know if inserting an active SIM card from a AT&T customer will activate the phone with AT&T and update IMEI in their database? Opening an AT&T account just to get it unlocked seems too much.

I am in the same situation as you and would like to know the answer to this too. Thank you
Same issue here, I paid full retail for Verizon version first but had a ton of issues with the phone switching to 3g for calls and missing calls on it. I exchanged for AT&T version but cannot get the unlock code. I have tried the online portal, called AT&T and Samsung with no luck. I pretty much stick with cricket so I'm not in a hurry to unlock, it's more the point that I paid $945 for my phone and want the code for resale purposes or if I decide to switch carriers.
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/252902295417

Had the same issue with mine. Bought it from Samsung and I'm a ATT Prepaid Customer. ATT unlock device portal didn't work. So i went to ATT Community forums, and sent a Private message to @ ATTMobilityCare there. Mention my details, IMEI and the issue. They got in touch with me and my unlock request is processed immediately and got the code.
Something happened to me but if you contact AT&T tech service they were expedit the case and email you an unlock code it take about three days. That's what I did, but I couldn't wait on AT&T because I had to travel that week so I paid fastgsm to unlock my phone and it was only $20 it took 24 hours. Fastgsm and AT&T were the exact on lock code.

They declined my request again using the forums. They said it was because I didn't buy it directly from AT&T they couldn't do it. Said I have to contact Samsung to get it unlocked. Why is this such a pain in the @ss...
Annnnnd Samsung told me it's AT&T s job to give the unlock code... wth. Is unlocking phones like something new? I actually thought I read somewhere it is like law now to unlock phones... smh... bought phone outright from Sammy, now using it with AT&T and have been a customer with them for like 12 years. I'm stumped...
So I had the same issue as the last 2 posters. I bought my ATT version direct from Samsung. Right after I got it on the 20th, I applied via the ATT portal for an unlock. I got rejected at that time. A couple days ago, I called support and I was told to call Samsung by ATT. Of course calling Samsung results in them telling you to call ATT. So I called yesterday, talked to tech support again, and this time they re-did the request for the unlock. I assume he used the same portal, because I got the standard email saying I need to hit reply to the email within 24hrs, or the case would be closed. Today I got the unlock code. Not sure if it was because I needed tech to submit the request, or the phone needed time to show up in the database.
Bottom line, Samsung cannot unlock the phone, only ATT can.

Wow soo I finally got my unlock code as well. I had to call the AT&T tech support, they had no idea why my portal request was denied and supplied the unlock code to me over the phone. So if anyone out there is in a similar situation just save yourself the hassle and call AT&T support.
I have the LG X Charge that I got from Comcast on August 8. I wanted to root it but can find nothing on how to root it. I looked but found nothing that tells how to root it. I tried flashing SuperSu but couldn't find a custom recovery for this phone. While searching, I did find that this phone was released in Europe a few months ago where it's called X Power 2. Under settings / about phone / phone name it says LG-M322. Also under settings / about phone / software info it says the version of Android it's running is 7.0.
When I got the phone, I was surprised to see it wasn't loaded with crapware. Right now I mainly want to root it so I can do something about the restrictions placed on using the sd card.
Does anyone know if someone has found out how to root this phone? Is there a version of twrp or some other custom bootloader for it?
Thanks
I have been searching all over for root on the x charge and honestly I can't find one. This phone is pretty new and will take some time for a developer to take notice. As this phone is only available on Xfinity and one other company not many people use I would say it could take some time.
Has anyone tried this to unlock the bootloader? http://www.simnetworkunlockpin.com/unlock-bootloader-apk-code-generator/ wondering if it will work for our device. It says LG is supported but I have never heard of it before. If we can get the bootloader unlocked we could then worry about twrp and root would be easy after that.
Xfinity just started offering this phone for $1 (and you own it) for their free verizon talk/text plans. Its hit the 'hot deals' sites and people are ordering by the thousands...so I think its going to be pretty popular and available quite soon.
The other phones (galaxies and iphones) are being given $200 discounts as well.

xfinitity also does trades but i haven't tried them yet. probably offer pennies through some 3rd party ))). i just bought x charge. not sure where $1 shows up, unless it's spread out into 24 months/$0.04. taxes and fees $2.26 (monthly?). still not bad for unlimited talk txt + 100mb data. i'm not familiar with this phone. would be interested in unlocking bl and root. would be amazing if possible. not sure if there's a limit. would like another one for a clock.

You should be on 7.0 not 6. My x charge came with nougat not marshmallow.

You're right. My mistake. About the dispute whether the phone is $180 or $1. The $1 price is a special that runs out in September. At least that's what I found at xfinity.com/mobile
It really pisses me off that the companies that sell the phones have this idea that we are too stupid to be allowed to do what we want with our phones. We shouldn't have to fight with rooting our phones. But lots of things should be but aren't. Politicians should always be honest. Relative humidity should never be over 20%. Daytime highs in summer should never be over 80. You get the idea.

It's a very good phone i'm surprised it seems faster than my e4 with same sd425, but $180+tx is too much. We should demand bl unlock code. By force. It's the only way. verizon/moto and xm/lg.
Sorry to say. It's a dollar. They are out of stock. Just ordered 3 more for a dollar. After taxes I think it's 3 and you own phone outright

But you get billed for 3 lines right away? Can't just keep them unactivated indefinitely? I ordered 2, refused one. XM says i have 2 lines. I won't get billed if they receive one. If i could keep this phone for $1 and never activate i'd get 3.
Thought I'd switch data off activate them and not be billed for anything but activation fees. And use Sims in note 5 and 2 note 4 . See if everthing works. And then sell each for 100. I was surprised to see it available this morning maybe and got impulsive thinking I had 30 days to cancel or keep it to my benefit. Maybe I'll cancel 2 and play around with one for myself. I have a note 4 with verizon and unlimited plan. But paying 230 after 25% employee discount and if I can get it down to under 150 would be great. Thanks for the heads up

And my son switched and there was no activation fee but he took his number he had with verizon. I ordered three new numbers.

@davekaz, even if you are not using mobile data, you will be charged (for each account) for taxes, FCC charges and other sh... stuff. For example, AT&T charges $8.24 extra per account (see list below):
Surcharges and Other Fees
3. Administrative Fee 0.76
4. Federal Universal Service Charge 2.45
5. Regulatory Cost Recovery Charge 1.25
Total Surcharges and Other Fees 4.46
Government Fees and Taxes
6. 9-1-1 Service Fee 1.00
7. MA State Sales Tax - Telecom 2.78
Total Government Fees and Taxes 3.78
So, be prepared to get billed $33/month for the four accounts And you can't sell these phones now, you should stay 24 month with 'em (read your contract properly!).
P.S. I've also bought one extra line (with free LG X charge - BTW, very good phone!) and I know how to recoup extra $8/month
After you've cancelled serviceWe're all about being fair. When you cancel your XFINITY Mobile service, you only pay for the data you've used between your last paid account statement and the date you cancelled. If you have more than one phone line, we'll charge you for the data you used on each line and reimburse you the difference based on your cancellation date.If you still owe a balance on your Device Payment Plan and you've cancelled service, you can either pay it off all at once or make the remaining monthly payments until the phone is all yours.

xfinitity also does trades but i haven't tried them yet. probably offer pennies through some 3rd party ))). i just bought x charge. not sure where $1 shows up, unless it's spread out into 24 months/$0.04. taxes and fees $2.26 (monthly?). still not bad for unlimited talk txt + 100mb data. i'm not familiar with this phone. would be interested in unlocking bl and root. would be amazing if possible. not sure if there's a limit. would like another one for a clock.

If you already received your phone you can request a price drop to the $0.04 they are offering. I just did this, the only downside is they claim it takes 30 days to start receiving the lower price. We shall see what my bill is next month.

I have the LG X Charge that I got from Comcast on August 8. I wanted to root it but can find nothing on how to root it. I looked but found nothing that tells how to root it. I tried flashing SuperSu but couldn't find a custom recovery for this phone. While searching, I did find that this phone was released in Europe a few months ago where it's called X Power 2. Under settings / about phone / phone name it says LG-M322. Also under settings / about phone / software info it says the version of Android it's running is 7.0.
When I got the phone, I was surprised to see it wasn't loaded with crapware. Right now I mainly want to root it so I can do something about the restrictions placed on using the sd card.
Does anyone know if someone has found out how to root this phone? Is there a version of twrp or some other custom bootloader for it?
Thanks

Just wondering what restrictions to the SD card you are talking about. I haven't noticed any.
I just ordered another one. I was waiting to add my son until you could bring your own phone. I should be able to use the sim card in his phone and keep this one as a back up. It cost a whopping $2.96 after fees.

I guess no root possible ever for this phone? Does it have enough GSM bands to be useful for tmobile/att?
