    I have a Lumia 900 and when i try to use internet sharing its telling me to contact AT&T to add it to my plan. I live in New Zealand which will mean I cant add it to my AT&T plan since they don't exist here.

    Is there anyway for me to unlock it? Ive seen a mention of 1 person who called them up and got a code but I dont know if it is possible. Would explaining my situation likely result in that or are they just going to tell me im stuck with it because im in a different country?

    I know its a long shot but is there any other way to access it? It's a feature I really want from a phone.

    It appears my brother did (he has a 800 and downloaded a bunch of apps that he said are good to have). So that means a call to AT&T wont do anything either?

    There are other threads on this forum which indicate that flashing the TelCel Mexican LTE variant ROM will result in a working Internet Sharing function, with no bloatware, refer the posts by tomcahill. I have read reports on these threads about some people successfully flashing ATT devices (with working LTE), while others have not, so YMMV.

    ive got a Rogers Lumia 900 rm-808 ( i know its not AT&T ) but you can try , internet sharing didnt worked either ( i use my phone on Fido network) ,
    1.i called my carrier to activate internet sharing in my carrier account (no cost )
    2. go to your phone: Settings , About , reset your phone ( it will erase everything on it ) and thats it! now it works even without network setup app!

    windowsphone must store settings from simcard on first time use, and keeps em! so you need to do a reset!

    well based on that thought one could throw in a SIM from a fully activated ATT account with sharing then pop in say a ST SIM that doesn't allow sharing but that is certainly NOT the case!
