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
Go to ATT.com/unlock I personally called ATT CS said i need to get my ATT branded netgear night hawk unlocked, gave my email address and a day or 2 later got a unlock code. BE WARNED with Covid-19 still going on ATT has reduced staff and pretty seems as tho they don't answer calls right now. Best if you can to use the automated route.
That is sometimes a workable option IF you have an "ATT Branded" unit. As far as I know, for anything else, say a Nighthawk that's locked to AT&T but purchased from OTR Mobile, you're screwed. AT&T won't help.
are you saying your nighthawk is not ATT branded, but locked to ATT??
Also if bought from OTR they will unlock it
Have you ever actually TALKED to OTR Mobile in the last 6 weeks? Even by chat? And gotten a person to provide you with an unlock code to a Nighthawk THEY sold? 'Cause there are thousands of OTR Mobile customers out there who have been told to go to dc-unlocker to get their devices unlocked. OTR Mobile will not unlock your device. The company they "contracted with" isn't doing it. The SECOND company they contracted with quit. And OTR Mobile sent an announcement to everyone TELLING US they would NO LONGER BE UNLOCKING DEVICES. "Go to dc-unlocker"... Which is a "company" in Lithuania that takes the money and in SOME cases provides an unlock code, and in other cases just takes the money.
So, if you KNOW how to get an unlock code from OTR Mobile there are a bunch of people out here that would like that information. So please elaborate.
As for having AT&T unlock it, good luck. Many have tried, most have failed, myself included. The "normal" procedure of going through AT&T DOES NOT WORK. It says the "device is owned by someone else"... So again, if you have a guaranteed method of getting AT&T to unlock a Nighthawk sold by OTR Mobile, please elaborate... A bunch of extremely pissed off OTR Mobile customers (or former customers) would love the information.
I'm not saying that, OTR said to call AT&T to unlock. That, of course, was not a good answer. Didn't work. OTR is sending another unlocked device and we should get it Wed. We will see. I will use dc-unlocker now that I know about it if I need to.
