Unlocking cell phone..How to?
 

I have the unlock code for our ATT Samsung SGH-i617 Blackjack

I followed the directions found here:
Unlock your mobile. Unlock Nokia, unlock samsung, unlock motorola, unlock sony and more

No luck as the directions are vague at best and the cellstore support is completely worthless :rolleyes:

Anyone here know how to utilize my unlock code specific for this model cell phone?

I have done this successfully on other cell phones but this one is a biatch :mad:

Thanks in advance!!!

You sure they gave you the correct unlock code?

Who gave it to you?

I bought it as I have several others from the cellunlockstore online...

The others have worked perfectly, I can't get this one to work b/c I don't know how to use the unlock #

The instructions are the issue.. they instruct to use either a non-compliant sim card or no sim card at all.. then input the unlock #... But where? The blackjack has multiple places to "put a # in" :rolleyes:

How about a google search?

Hopefully one of those does it for you.

I did several google searches, however I missed the one above...

WHICH WORKED!!! :D:D:D:D:D

It was the sequence of #'s needed to enter the network lock entry page in the Blackjack...the rest was simple :)

THANK YOU Masraum, thank you!!!

This saves us $80 a month!!

Cheers

I had my BB World unlocked before I went to London a few weeks ago. I bought a local SIM card and phone # and could call back to LA for about 12 cents/min versus $1.29/minute with the Verizon international plan. How does unlocking a US phone save $80/month if calling domestically? Do you buy a pay as you go SIM card here to use locally with a new phone #?

I have 2 lines at Verizon, one for my BB and one I got for my 18yr old daughter. She lost her phone (for the 4x) and I refused to replace it for the 4x. So I have an extra line un used...my wife's contract expired with ATT so were dropping the worthless ATT and switching over her cell# to my extra line at Verizon.
Btw on our trips out of the country we use pre-paid cards as well as there the best deal...

You back from London? If not have safe travels!
