  • Hi all, I have a Samsung F700V from Vodafone and i am trying to use it with AT&T SIM Card in USA. When i put AT&T Sim card, it actually accepted the card and does not give me any error. But it is UNABLE to pickup signal. It is always saying no signal or no service.

    Can anyone tell me if i need to UNLOCK it to acquire more signal? or is it already unlocked, but there is no signal reception. Please let me know

    Another one by user Impulse

    Hi,I got this info to unlock some newer samsungs without running into the problem of it resetting the imei to 00000000,

    Have tested it on a e250 and a d900i,both unlocked easily. Checked imei,it is still original & phones appear to be fully functional....

    PLEASE BACK UP YOUR FILES BEFORE UNLOCKING
    This will also bring the phone to default settings
    1. First do a CUSTOM reset: *2767*2878#
    turn off the phone
    2. take out the battery and sim and put wrong network SIM and insert only a half of it,
    Very important so it won't ask for network password and shows "Insert SIM" message.(possibly in a different language)
    Now put the battery ,and switch the phone on .(phone shows "Insert SIM" message.)
    3.push the sim fully in at this stage the phone is still asking to "Insert SIM"
    4. Make a FULL reset: *2767*3855#
    5. The phone should reboot working with "wrong" sim inside.
    6. Make a Change the NCK password to 8 zeros by typing: *7465625*638*00000000*00000000#
    7. Now Disable network lock By typing: #7465625*638*00000000#
    Phone is unlocked

    I couldn't get the sim to go only half in for step 2, so I turned it on with no sim in and then inserted the whole sim once it was turned on. I also didn't understand step 6 onwards, but it works fine after only completing the first bits

    I 'phoned Vodaphone (dial 181) from your mobile, give them your details (EMEI number etc) and they gave me instructions on how to unlock my 'phone and a long number to input. They didn't ask how long I had had the 'phone. The instructions didn't work, so I emailed them and was told that if the 'phone was more than 12 months old there would be a charge of £19.99. I shall try again.

    BEWARE of unscrupulous unlock sites such as 'unlocksearch.com' who charge a fee, only to then give advice such as 'Phone Vodaphone' or 'contact an online retailer'. I thought I was paying for an unlock code.
