If you are sure it is a USA phone, borrow a T-Mobile SIM and try it. It could also be from Canada. Most of these phones (USA)I have seen are from T-Mobile. It'e best to try a T-Mobile SIM. How do you know it is locked? JG
OK. If it is from the US it might be Cingular. Is there a chance it came from Canada? Where did you get it? J
As you say USA T-Mobile does not work then that is a Canada Fido mobile. Back to you Joe Click on banner for 24/7 unlocking

If you enter the same code two times, that is two tries. To enter code: Make sure battery is charged. Remove sim first. Power on. Ignore “Insert SIM” Press the # key. then press the "star" key (*) quickly to get the P and W and + Press * 3 times quickly for (p) \ Press * 4 times quickly for (w) IMPORTANT Press * 2 times quickly for (+) / and the rest of the code--- Begin with # and end with #. IMPORTANT!! Verify code before pressing the last #. Pay attention. You only have about two seconds. "Phone restrictions off", it's unlocked. "Error code" wrong code. STOP tell me. "Not allowed" or "Can Not Undo Restriction" it's hard locked. Used up all your free tries!! If it does not work, tell me: What happened? What message you got. What codes you tried. Above all, answer.

Error code is what I got what happens if i try to many codes will the phone be useless? is there a way that we can find out who the phone is locked to with out gussing?
STOP!! Let's figure this out. If you hard lock the phone, it will only work on the original network. Since you do not know the original Network, you will not be able to use it unless ou have it unlocked with "The Box" hard ware solution. Code Error means that that was not the right code. The only way to find out the Network the phone is locked to is to try all the Network SIMs. You said you tried Cingular and T-Mobile SIMs. The only other Network I have come across with this phone is Fido. Try this ONCE. it is for Fido. Read the instructions carefully. #pw+923762445130222+7# J
IMPORTANT!! Verify code before pressing the last #. Pay attention. You only have about two seconds. 2 secounds to check the code? I got the same error message same message!
Sorry to hear that. Unless you find out what network the phone is locked to we are wasting time. Sorry. JG
