Motorola Atrix HD MB886 Subsidy locked!!!! CANT GET ASSISTANCE HELLPPPP!!!
When I turned my Motorola Atrix HD on first time it asked me for a unlock code, which I understood, was related to the SIM card PIN, so I entered it many times until I got a "Phone is subsidy locked. Please contact service provider. Only emergency calls are allowed" .
I call Motorola customer service and they confirmed the device they sent me was locked by AT&T (not unlocked as it was mine) and that the phone was asking me for the network code (not the PIN) unlock code. As I entered a wrong code too many times, my phone got "subsidy locked". Obviously, my phone company is not AT&T wireless.
I've been trying different options but so far no good results.
So I'm writing the case here with the expectation that somebody from AT&T (who are supposedly the owner of the blocking mechanism) can help me unlock the phone and/or take it to the original state so I can go and enter my code to unlock it.
Can you help me? Thanks,
Luis (Argentina)

It sounds like this phone is locked meaning that it can only be used with AT&T and cannot be used with another carrier.
You can try contacting support http://www.att.com/econtactus/ to see if the phone is eligible for unlocking but it may not be.

Do you think buying a AT&T SIM card can make it work? Thanks for your answer!

If you are able to get and use AT&T service, yes.

I have the same issue. Atrix HD is locked and does not provide the unlock code entry screen. I have an active ATT SIM and waiting 6-12 hours does not help, per Motorola suggestion. Can any one from ATT help??
