    [bold] #pw+326656543333143+7# [/bold]

    Your code:Try this ONCE and ONCE only. Remember,
    you only get 3 to 5 tries.
    [bold]If you enter the same code two times[/bold],
    that is [bold]two tries.[/bold]
    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.

    Thanks, Initially I thought it had worked, because I saw the message, "Phone restrictions off", pop up on my screen, and equally as fast, dissappear, however, after inserting the sim card and waiting for the phone to automatically select the network, i noticed it didn't. I then did a manual network selection, and the only network that the phone was interested in selecting was the digicel network, however, I need it to select the Cable and Wireless network or the b mobile network (both are the same), as i am using a b mobile sim card. Please HELP! Even when i select the digicel network i'm getting a "no network access" message. I'm guessing that this is because i'm using a bmobile sim card. no other networks are showing up for selection.

    You are not making any sense.
    If the phone was locked to TSTT in the first place, It will not work on Digicel anyway. Wrong Band.
    The 1600 is a duel-Band on 900/1800Mhz with TSTT.
    Digicel is 850/1900Mhz.
    In any event, if it was from TSTT, it will always work on TSTT even if it is hardlocked.
    Try another TSTT SIM.
    You need to activate the bMobile SIM before it will work.

    No, I've moved to Barbados and I am trying to get my phone to work on the cable & wireless network - b mobile, and yes the bmobile sim has been activated, it works in every other phone that I have tried it in.

    C&W Barbados is GSM 1900MHZ.
    Your phone from TSTT is 900/1800Mhz.
    It won't work on C&W Barbados.
    That's why you only see Digicel.
    It's the other way around in T&T.
    You'll have to go with Digicel in Barbados.

    Thanks Joe, you're a giant. Guess I'll just get another phone.
