Welcome to the forums.

unlock codes.
--------------

The unlock code to open the device to all networks is available thro your network provider, but is normally only available when the contract is up or at leat 3 months has gone by on a payg contract. Also be ready to pay a fee for this code.

The security code which allows the user to lock their handsets to stop other people from putting thier own sim cards in etc is normally in the instruction manual that came with the fone. Although the user can change this to one of their own so if this fone is 2nd hand and the codes been changed then speak to the original owner to get the code. The instruction manual can normally be downloaded via the manufacturer's website in pdf form.

If the above does not resolve then you can have the fone flashed to return everything to default although you will lose all downloaded data. This process can be actioned at certain carphone warehouses. Check www.carfonewarehouse.com to see if your nearest has a repair centre in it. It does not matter if it was purchased from them as they do this under the warranty. You must however show proof of purchase.

Good luck.

Sable,

Thanks for the info.

I borrowed someone else's T-Mobile
SIM and tried to enter the code,
when it asked me for Network
Password. It did not unlock the
phone. Perhaps it has to be a
virgin SIM??

Let me know.

Thanks.

Diametrix

Typically their is 4-5 unlocks codes for each handset.

This is why one unlock codes works for one but not for another.

I called AT&T, twice. Mind you, I am an
AT&T customer. The first time, they denied
me to the unlock code. The second time,
as I was a customer of theirs for some
time and in good standing and because
the mood of the person must have been
good, they were very cooperative and
gave me the code, which I think is only
good for each individual phone. They
needed the model # and IMEI #.

It worked and here, it is, though I doubt
it will work for any other phone. Of course,
I may be wrong about that.

27276838

1. Take out your SIM.
2. Replace with other SIM (other
than your provider).
3. Power up.
4. When Network pin is requested,
enter code and then the Enter key.

You will, then, see "Pin Unblocked"
and that is it.

You have this unblock code. You
have the other one, from Sable,
up top, which might possibly work.
I saw another code that was given
to another c168i owner and here
it is:

210856302

Incidentally and of course, these
did not work on mine. However, if
you want to try them, I do not
think it will damage the phone but
do not hold me to that.

As an AT&T client, you should be
able to obtain the unlock code, as
long as you are in good standing
with them and that translates into
90-days of solid service.

Just ask for it, for the purpose of
international travel and you should
have no issues and you should not
any, rightly, as it is your phone.

If they deny you, call the next day
and talk to another tech and re-
member: sugar is sweeter than
vinegar. In other words, be nice.

;-)

Good luck and thanks to all.

D
