[Q] Asking for SIM Unlock Code

[illdill]

I am running the 'stock' HoneyComb from Dell on the 4G US version (Not wifi version). Recently it has been asking me for the SIM unlock code upon waking the device. Normally I can just exit out of it but sometimes I have to reboot the device. Any idea what is causing this? Is my SIM card going bad? Is it a rogue application?

Thanks,

I emailed [email protected] to see if they had any suggestions. I wonder though since I have a valid/active contract with my carrier if it is a good dea to unlock it?

It shouldnt be a problem to have it unlocked.

Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using XDA App

send an email to dell : [email protected] with your imei number and say you are going out of the country for some months and need to get the unlock code. It only took a couple of hrs to get mine straight from dell.

Since my device is under contract with my carrier, Dell told me to get it from them. I called them (my carrier) and they are supposed to be sending it to me via email, I was really just wanting to know why my device is suddenly requesting it...?

Is it because of the Dell OS that was not issued by T-Mobile?

Received the unlock code from t-mobile and it unlocked fine. I would still like to know why it was requesting it though...?
