Instructions for unlocking from ATT

[Stuart Wilson]

My wife talked to a tech at ATT and he gave her some instructions for unlocking her SX56.

1) Insert a blank SIM
2) Power up unit and enter the 8 digit unlock code.

I think these instructions were either incomplete or bogus. When we put in a blank SIM the SX56 asked for a PIN number and not an unlock code. The unlock code did not work in the place of he PIN number.

Is it possible to unlock this way?

I dont know what you mean by a blank sim, just put a sim from any other provider. I think the pin you were asked for is your sim card pin number, if you enter this wrongly too many times it will block the sim. You need to enter your pin, then you will be asked for sid code, that is where you enter the code.
