Great news! At&t Lumia 920 (and 820?) Users can Now Unlock Their Phone

One of the woes of buying a phone on contract these days (at least in the US) is the fear that you can’t use the phone when you decide to travel abroad, since it’s rudely locked to your carrier provider. Well great news for anyone who purchased a Lumia 920 (and I guess the same applies for the 820) from At&t, since the 6 month exclusivity period is officially over you can now unlock your phone to use on any network. Simply talk to your At&t people Via phone, or chat or in the store and ask for your unlock code which hopefully they should provide straight away.

The At&t rule-book for unlocking phones:
