    Hi , have found a code online to unlock this mobile ( samsung E900 ), which it does and works fine, but when the phone is switched off and then back on it reverts back to the tesco sim, and says invalid sim if i had already put my orange sim in.

    The code i used makes a new menu appear with an option called maloc fail which the poster says to choose, it then unlocks but appears noy to be permanent

    Hi,

    I've got a Motorola Razr V3 and have come to the end of my Tmobile contract. I've tried putting an Orange SIM card in it and it comes up with "Enter subsidy password" Does this mean the phone is still locked to Tmobile?

    If it is, I gather there are no free unlock codes available for this phone so I'll probably try the "man in the market" option - does this sound like the best idea?

    Also, Martin's article did confuse me slightly (v unusual) as the link in it, where it discusses unlocking phones, takes you to the Nokia only thread and it was not clear that there is another thread for non-Nokia phones.

    regs,

  • There is a link in the Nokia unlocking thread's first post that has the link to the other phones thread.

    Hi
    I have an LG U8330 which I got 2nd hand which I'm told is unlocked from 3. My f-i-law's vodaphone sim works in it, but my t-mobile one doesn't. Shall I just order a vodaphone free sim, or is there a way of getting my t-mobile one to work?
    Thanks in advance!

    I have a very old phone, a Phillips Savvy (Orange Phone). Is there any way of unlocking this?

    IMEI #: 449680564096340

    I tried to use a Virgin SIM card in the phone, but it asked for a SPCK?
    Can anyone give me help on this?


    Thanks!
