I have t-mobile's code... now what?

[eschlene]

I've not seen a post on how to unlock the XDA if you do have the unlock code from t-mobile. I sent them an e-mail, they responded, quite quickly I might add. Gave me the number for my phone.

But without a non-t-mobile SIM card to insert (which would force it to prompt me to unlock... as I understand it) how do I get my PPC to accept the unlock code?

thanks

Just use the XDA developer xda-unlock tool :wink:

When you insert another SIM card, it'll ask for that code. That's what I am guessing.

you need to get a sim from another company. they do not sell them at the stores. i was fortunate to have a friend who lent me his to unlock mine. check with friends to see if they have a different carriers sim otherwise i would check ebay.

You are correct. When you insert another carrier's SIM, you will be prompted to enter the unlock code. Best bet is to borrow a SIM from a friend who is an ATTWS GSM subscriber. My understanding is that you only get prompted for the code the first time (but I'm also unsure whether this will survive across a cold reset).

This is indeed what happens. I am a T-Mo customer and requested my SIM unlock code. They never actually sent it to me, I had to call back and the body of the email was there in the support log... anyhoo... when I took it to Canada I purchased a Rogers AT&T SIM card and sure enough when we put it in, it asked for the code. Simple as that!

NOTE: Rogers AT&T service is absolutely TERRIBLE in Halifax, NS and its surrounding area.
