How to get the unlock code prompt on AT&T Nighthawk MR1100
I have a AT&T Nighthawk MR1100 through OTR Mobile. They are switching to T-Mobile based service so I had to get the unlock code and a T-Mobile post paid SIM. When I put the T-Mobile SIM in and power i...
If you can connect to T-Mobile network without entering the code, your device was unlocked.
Thanks
Ha. As an update, OTR has charged my card for auto renewal while freely admitting they can't provide service as promised. They can offer a "credit" to my account but will only offer a 60 dollar refund if I cancel, not the full 120 they have charged. The customer service persons response was "our terms and conditions state that service may not work we would only offer the 60 dollars because of the situation. Unreal......
In other news, has anyone heard of this company https://neverthrottled.com/ ? Seems like they use ATT towers, devices and SIM cards.

I may be a little jaded and cynical after the experience with OTR Mobile, but...
I never heard of them 'til your post. Took a look. Their equipment prices are WAY high. And their monthly is 40% higher than OTR Mobile. But at least they're on AT&T, not T-Mobile. 'Course depending on whether they're legit or doing whatever OTR Mobile was doing that got them expelled from AT&T, they could go boots up any minute.
If you've got your own equipment so they can only nail you for $30 to activate on top of the $85/mo, it may be worth a try, but I wouldn't dump hundreds on equipment from another one of these places.
- Understand being jaded. For sure, I am too. But I don't have any real options at this point. And they're only 40% higher than OTR until May, at which point even legacy plans are increasing. At this point OTR has stolen $120 from me so the reality is, OTR'S price doesn't really matter since they can't deliver on a product. FYI, there is now an entire facebook page dedicated to people that OTR screwed over and it doesn't look pretty.
I looked at mobilemusthave.com and their plan for att devices (since I can't get mine unlocked) is $99 for the first month and $120 for each month after.
I also went to cellcorner.com., it seemed a little better than DCunlocker (which is based in Lithuania btw). Cellcorner.com was based in Florida and said they could get an unlock code for $32. If you believe their sales pitch it takes anywhere from 2 to 12 business days.That's the dilemma - you don't have any good options! Yeah, OTR Mobile is planning on increasing the price. It may happen, it may not. As tenuous as the connection people have with them at this point, a price increase, especially for service as mediocre as T-Mobile has been when I've tested it while traveling, may be the straw that finishes things.
And yeah, I've BEEN to OTRs Facebook page and it's NOT pretty...
I also looked at mobilmusthave.com and thought they were ludicrously high, but if they can get away with it, that's what they'll charge.
As for dc-unlocker, yeah, a quick look at their site should raise questions for a lot of people. And taking a look at the folks who haven't been successful unlocking and are now screaming it's a scam should be another warning. I haven't tried to unlock my Nighthawk yet, but I figure any day now AT&T is going to cut it off and I'll have to try dealing with some bunch of Internet scumbags and hope I get it unlocked.
Good luck finding someplace reliable.
Sadly I think I am done with OTRMobile. Going to TMobile was a bad idea. Past month I have been disconnected every weekend, and with these netgear hotspots it is a chore to get it back on the internet (Same with ATT) but I have been disco'ed every weekend for the past month, and now the past 3 days. Got up this morning and it was out again. https://gypsywireless.com/ is ATT reseller $75 a month. They just raised their prices $10 a month as well. Sadly for me this is my only internet, but unlike some of you I "should" have gigafiber by summer, so I am just putting up with it. On Sunday the outage was TMobile themselves as my phone went out as well, it's on TMobile. My problem with OTRMobile seems to be same as most of you. They can blame this on Covid-19 all day, but not answering calls or chat on weekends, making promises of unlocks they haven't done, and now spotty service, doesn't inspire confidence. Need chat expect to wait 3 hours if you even get in the chat queue.
