    Can anyone advise? I have been having problems with my Vodafone access.The screen just says "No Access" or now "Network Problems". I have phoned Vodafone helpline- but got little advice. I live in the West of Cornwall and this has happened several times before.Advice please.

    hello
    I need help.
    I have a Samsung SGH e800. I usualy use my romanian Vodafone sim. But when i want to change the sim card with one from Orange or Vodafone, or other sim (the netowrk is not so important - romanians network) i have this msg: "sim lock. Enter password". :( ok. I put back my vodafone sim, enter in menu, phone settings, security, sim lock, i select disable, and the phone ask the password.
    Pls tell me if it's a software or something else to find out that code. Some friends of mine, play with the phone, change that f*** code and they dont remember the new one.
    IMEI: 354160007535770

    I wait your answer here or via e-mail: cata_sc1@yahoo.com or cata.sc@gmail.com

    Thank you.

  • Hi I got the unlock code, but I don't have the sim card I want to use yet. My sister is going to Mexico next month and I want her to be able to buy a prepaid sim card there and use my phone. I tested it with a t-mobile sim card with a cingular phone, but I have no idea what she'll get down there. What should I do?


    Thanks

    The phone will work with any sim card when it is unlocked.
