Cingular Badged SX66 locked to ATT network?

[jonliu]

I just bought a SX66 used and have been using it for a week with my ATT sim card. Since the SX66 had a cingular badge on it as well as a cingular startup screen i assumed the phone was unlocked. I then got a new cingular plan today and got a new sim. When the cingular employee stuck the sim in, it turns out the cingular badged sx66 would not accept the cingular sim. Well long story short I came home and unlocked it using the .exe file. Works perfectly now, but i just thought it was kinda strange that the phone is locked to ATT.

love the free easy unlock file!

Please, can you either tell me how to get the "love the free easy unlock file!" or send it along to me (jafe_poboxes.com)?

Thx. :?:

If your fone is the basic XDA2 or older, then go to this forum:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6963

and ignore the bit about the program being replaced. If on the other hand you have a fone that is newer than the XDA2, (XDA2i, XDA2s, XDA3 etc.) go to the forum above and click on the link at the top for the newer fones.

There are step by step instructions available on each posting, which explain how to do it. Take notice of the warnings given in the postings, as I believe unlocking the fone may invalidate warranties etc but it depends on the country your in, source of the fone etc. As allways, any modifications are taken at your own risk. Saying that, ive not had any problems, and this community has helped me out a lot. Enjoy

Hope this helps.

PS. it helps to search the forum, perhaps under the Unlocking section?

Hey I have the same thing i unlocked mine.
Do a search on the forum.
The tool you want is xdadev_all_unlock-V1.3 (or what ever the new version is) worked on mine.

Thanks all. Point taken about searching... It worked fine and all is well.
