Nighthawk MR1100 -- Yes you can unlock on AT&T
Sorry -- this is a repost with a better subject line: Hi Everyone, FYI, I was able to get AT&T to provide me with an unlock code for my MR1100. You cannot use the web form or myATT app to u...
So I just contacted AT&T to get my 2nd (I use these devices for work) unlocked. The 2nd one I didn't even bother activating on my unlimited plan (one because why, and two my unlimited plan is maxed out and I can't add any other devices). I called in to the 611 number and explained what I wanted to do, the woman entered some details, and took the IMEI number, and asked if I could e-mail her a copy of the receipt showing I paid "full price" for the device, simple since I purchased from Best Buy and have a PDF of the receipt.
Theoretically I'll receive the unlock code in 48 hours. ha... If this process was actually this easy people wouldn't have all the issues reported in this forum... I figure I have about a 30% chance of getting that code in the next 48 hours....
So I did recieve my unlock code from AT&T. The orginal e-Mail I recived said "unfortunatly we can not unlock your device.", I called and after bouncing through 15 different people I made it to a tier 3 person who was able to give me the code right over the phone.... boom, unlocked.
