Try only once but the IMEI you have here doesn't look like USA T-Mobile. Please make sure before entering the code.

You'll hardlock it to the original network.

It will only work with T-Mobile only if that's who it's locked to unless you take or send it to a professional for unlocking.

What makes you think it's locked to T-Mobile? I understand the Cingular sim doesn't work but I need to know what sim will work in the phone. If it's possible to get a T-Mobile sim from someone, put it in the phone and see if it works. I really don't think it's locked to T-Mobile but I'm not positive.

Yes, if you have entered 5 wrong codes and got any message that says code error or you are seeing phone restricted after you enter the code, it's hardlocked.

1. Insert a non accepted sim, most times it will show "Phone Restricted"
2. Press the UNDO option
3. You should see a box that says enter restriction code.
4. Enter the code given and then press (OK)

It's not the sim that gives you the chances, it's the phone. It only allows 5 chances and after that, it will only work with the original network. You can take or send it to have it unlocked directly and that runs about $20 to $30
Keep the sim you have because nothing is wrong with it. You just need the phone unlocked to work with Cingular and codes aren't going to work since so many have been entered. Sorry but I don't have yahoo and the reason for the slow responses is because it's storming here and my DSL sux when it's lightning.

It's not going to work. The phone will have to be hooked up diretly and flashed and cleared and unlocked. If I could make it work, I would but there is nothing else I have for it.

It's about $300.00 and they have different brands but only a couple can be trusted for support. If you can do without the phone for maybe 4 to 5 days, I have someone you can send the phone to and it will be all done for you and sent back to you Priority Mail. 2 days there and it will be sent back same day and all together it shouldn't be anymore than 5 days unless the weekend comes in the middle.

You also have the option to look for someone local in your area to do it but as for Cingular, T-Mobile or any place like that, they won't have one. They don't even have one for their own store. It will have to be some type of privately owned electronics repair shop or you might just have a cell phone repair shop where you live. If you do, they should have the box to do it with.
