Unlock nokia lumia 521

how can i unlock nokia lumia 521???

Hi, phantom77. Thanks for posting your inquiry in the community. What do you mean by 'unlock'? Are you referring to your phone's password or the restriction code that enables you to use another SIM card from another operator?
If you're looking for the restriction code, it is only provided by the operator to whom your phone is tied up with. If you're referring to your phone's password & you forgot it, you may need to perform a reset to be able to access it again. However, do note that this process will wipe all your phone's data. Here's a guide on how to reset using the hardware combinations: FAQ - My Lumia phone does not work or respond as expected. The link is applicable regardless of your location. Hope this helps.

    yes,
    from metroPCS :
    "MetroPCS GSM phones can be unlocked after 90 days of continuous activation with MetroPCS service. After this criteria is met, a request can be made to MetroPCS for the unlock code. Hope this helps. Thank you, LM"
    "You did not complete the necessary compliance to request an unlocked code for your phone. Thank you, LM"

  • Unlock code for Nokia Lumia 521

    Need unlock code for Nokia Lumia 521 bought in USA to use in Europe please.

    Hi, ToT2.
    Welcome to the forum.
    Your phone was sold at a subsidized price as part of a network package. Whether you brought directly from the network operator or from a 3rd-party retailer, the price you paid was subsidized by the network operator in return for using their services. Only the operator concerned can legally provide the unlocking information to you. It is possible that your network operator may charge a fee for this.

    Interestingly, I have a Lumia 520 also which works perfectly fine on 3G network in Asia. So, if both 520 and 521 are based on the same hardware, why shouldn't 521 work on 2100 network outside US.
    Because the 520 is a global variant while it seems the 521 is exclusive to T-Mobile US only

    Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!

  • How to unlock Nokia Lumia 1020? Please Help Me.

    Hi! How do you unlock Nokia Lumia 1020 w/c is locked with AT&T? I just bought mine in the US a couple weeks ago, but before I bought the phone I asked the AT&T Customer Number (1-800-331-0500) that I am a non-US resident and I bringing the phone to my Country. The lady on the other line told me there's no problem as long as I am buying the phone with no obligaation / pay in full price of the phone and call them again thay can unlock the phone. When I bought the phone and called again, the person on the other line told me he can't and the only way is thru website www.att.com/deviceunlock. Now, I've been trying to unlock my phone since Aug. 31 but no avail. So, are those people in AT&T customer service didn't really know what are they doing and if it is really in their hearth to be called a customer service representative? Because, if they knew what are they doing this should have not happen and I should not bought this phone. Now, when I blog thru their website somebody emailed me and telling me different policies again, here is the last email he sent me.
    Thanks for taking my call today. As discussed, after further review your device is not eligible to be unlocked for the following reasons:
    The person requesting the unlock must be one of the following:
    a current AT&T customer
    a former AT&T customer who can provide the phone number or account number for the account
    Customer-Specific Requirements
    Postpaid Smartphone Customers: Account has been active for at least ninety days and is in good standing (i.e., it has no past due amount or unpaid balance owed AT&T.
    We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. If you have further questions or concerns, please let us know.
    Their apologies cannot return my $700 bucks w/c I paid for the unit for the wrong information of their Customer Service.
    Is there anyone here can help me to unlock my Lumia 1020? Thank you in advance.

    It does seem slightly hit or miss although users buying via Microsoft Store seemed to have better luck if this is anything to go by: http://forums.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-1020/235805-nokia-lumia-1020-msft-store-att-unlocking-%5Bmy-...

  • Nokia Lumia 521

    Guys,
    I got a Lumia 521 from US for my own usage and unknowingly to me without getting the Security code taken care of there itslef. Now I am stuck with a beautiful toy which I cannot  use. It was my fault no doubt but now how do I get it working.. I have already talke to Nokia Support guys here in India but they told me they cannot do anything about it
    Is there a way out ? Need help pleazzz..

    are you asking about a security code, or the unlock code?
    if you bought the device new, then you shouldnt need a previous owners unlock code. my guess is you need an unlock code.

  • Nokia Lumia 521 - WiFi connected, but no internet ...

    I have a brand new Lumia 521 on T-Mobile. I set up the wifi connection and it shows connected. However, there is no internet connection. Cannot download any app or anything.
    Trouble Shooting: Rebooted the phone couple of times. Turned on/off wifi. delete/re-connect wifi.
    Reboot wireless router couple of times.
    Turned off the data service on my phone and only wifi is on now. Checked my router that there is an entery for my Windows Phone, but could not get any logs.
    Nothing helped so far...
    Loaded my sim with funds, thinking if something no fund is blocking it somewhere :-D
    Everything is fine on my other smartphones.
    Did I receive a faulty device?

    At least you have 8.1. Those of us with 521 not updated yet, no real answers. Someone at Nokia going to close thread cuz no one posting. What to post, you should've been a politician with the no answer answer. Whole experience makes me rethink Microsoft and Nokia altogether. Both companies I used to believe in and support. Even word and excel don't sync well from phone to desktop. Backup for what? Only if you reset phone. That is backup even DOS using command lines would have been ashamed of (honestly so long ago don't remember if it had backup but I know my 386SX did) Pictures duplicate, triplicate and repopulate after deleted and I have backup to cloud turned off. seems Microsoft thinks differently than I about this issue? It continues to bring back a pic of EX that i hate...Great reminder!!!!. Phone storage eaten and not accessible to delete. Not allowed to delete certain apps that came with phone. Now I delete apps I prefer and no space becomes available? Do not use Nokia cinemagraph. Can't be viewed anywhere but on phone without converting. And what phone/camera has no flash? My parents old 110 (I think) at least had a cube. Poloroid built in...just saying that was the early 80s. Now lock screen and theme (ugly muted colors, btw) not working, can't get space back even when hooked to desktop, use cloud 6 now to keep phone and cloud from changing between app and desktop, have to convert all Nokia files, and most apps not available from what I can gather because Microsoft limits us. Nokia and Microsoft, get your acts together before marketing with one another. And, have answers to these questions. If you can't do it right, don't do it all. Maybe best to walk away from one another. Although, other than poor apps and flimsy phone, I am more disappointed in a guru conglomerate that doesn't care about the user. You keep trying to catch up with Mac and Droid...not at this rate. Excel fave program to use and love outlook. But this is crap on a stick, SOS and plain junk. And, the mighty do fall. I remember original Apple having market, commodore 64 and Tandy? Two of the three no longer exist. IBM was a typewriter back then, as far as I was aware. For Nokia, Here doesn't usually get me to correct place with full addy and zip entered) Not a good platform or flimsy phone. Can't wait to go back to Droid....so, I suggest every time I can't find an answer from one of your sites, you stop asking what I think. Here it is. And, I could keep going and going....atop asking if you don't give a hoot.. and, I'm sure this will never be posted cuz Microsoft determines what I can and can't do with this thing

  • Unlocked Nokia Lumia 920, there are sone things I'...

    I'm 14 years old & I do independent schooling, so twice a week I work with my mom. I plan on buying a nokia lumia 920, but since tmobile doesn't have it, I understand I should purchase an unlocked one. My only concern is whether it'll work with T-Mobile's data plan, calling/messaging, and the internet. I dont know if this is a silly question, but I never learned about this kind of stuff in school, can anyone please help me out? Thanks!

    However, after looking at price on second-hand market for a Lumia 800 here in Germany (40 €), you might be better-off with another phone. In Germany, MyDealz.de and Geizhals.at/de might be resources to start from.

  • SIM-unlocked Nokia Lumia 820 in New York, US?

    Hey guys,
    Would anyone, especially those from Nokia, know when SIM-unlocked versions of Nokia Lumia 820 will be hitting the shelves in the US, particularly in New York?
    Since dealers here in the Philippines keep telling me that the new Lumia phones will not be available until 2013 comes, I assumed that SIM-unlocked versions will be arriving earlier in the US so maybe I can just have one bought from there.
    Thank you!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Okay, thanks for the reply. Just received some unconfirmed news that Lumias will be arriving at Singapore this December. Hmm, I've always thought that US was one of the first countries to receive the goods.
    Well apparently they did, but only carrier versions. Maybe it's about the market there who prefer free phones from carrier plans over buying retail phones (I don't mean to generalize though).
    Anyway, thanks again.
