AT&T has refused me on several occassions

shawnmccall9: Have you tried telling them that you plan on taking your phone out of the country? If you dont have a multi-band phone, you can tell them youre going to Canada. Good to know that we should stay away from ATT, if they treat their customers like "hostages."

hello,
it is not surprising that a cellphone company will refuse to unlock your phone. yes it may look like "hostaging" you phone.... to remain theirs until hell-dont-know-when. of course, we have a monthly billing plan to fulfill, and we all know that our phones are line-blocked to them before we purchased the phones, right? and we know well what the companies' capabilities, weaknesses, and limits are. we all agreed on that before you paid for your phone. so we are not in a good positon to complain.
but of course we also have a need to change lines sometimes. so, here in our country we have the so-called open-line cellphones. we purchase the phones separately from a phone company (unit only). and have our phone line purchased separately from the cellphone line provider. so it goes like this: if you want an open T68, we buy cellphones with warranties from cellphone companies (like sony-ericsson). and then we go to the cellphone line providers (like Globe Handyphone, or Touch mobile Phones, etc, here in our country.) and insert the SIM card into the phone, and there you go.
that way everything still works the way everybody like it, and you are also satisfied. all these transactions are legal, warrantied, and doesn't infringed on any agreement. if you want to change line for a certain area.... just do so by changing the SIM card. and the phone is still under the warranty. even the line too! no violations there.

ya'll are right on, here GSM is really jsut starting to take off althought it has been around for 6 years or more. I had never had a phone that used a SIM and didn't realize what I was getting into. I've definatley learned about unlocked and locked phones. ALso, some coutnries allow the consumer to take the phone number, here the service provider owns the number...sucks

Here in the uk i can go to the local market and get it unlocked for £25!! forget about dealing with the service provider and do it urselves. and its not illegal!!!

Hi
In Europe and Asia there are different ways too unlock your phones....
-Ask your provider for the codes, they should give the codes free after e certain time. In Holland after 1 year, but in Germany after 2 years...This is the cheapest way, but takes the longest, and usally the providers will take care that " unlock request forms" are not in stock anymore, or make difficulties because you dont have the original bill anymore.
-"Phreak - Hack - Crack" your phone self. This could be a tricky buisiness. Cause this could f * uk the phone. Ive had ALOT phones from my customers that tryed some themselves... Some programms may work but other could destroy the phone.
-Buy a unlockpackage, complete with guarantee support etc. This is very expensive, especially for people that only have 1 phone, or want to do it for hobby. On this moment a "standalone" T68 unlocker costs 7000$ for 1000 unlocks (cause it needs a original emma2 smartcard too give the bootpass
) For other phones it could be cheaper, Ericsson software is on this moment the most expensive. For info about buying software, and some indications goto http://www.gsmhacking.com
-Go to a local unlocker in your neighberhood. This man should be able too unlock your phone fast, with 100% guarantee for a fair price. Prices for unlocking are 15 ~ 25 dollars. For unlocking the newest phones like the Ericsson T68, he could charge up to double, since investments are high...
-Buy a "'remote unlocking" account. With this service you dont have to pay the high investment on mostly the hardware (only a datacable)
You will pay per phone (per log). There are various logging systems for the most GSM 900/1800 MhZ phones. For newest Ericsson series there is also a logging system, but the developer (Maxfron) from www.gsmhacking.com.ua will ONLY sell minimum 20 logs for 15$ each,..
For now there is NO "free solution" for unlocking these new Ericssons than with a "standalone unlocker" or the "logging solution".
If someone is interested in unlocking their Ericsson in "'small quantity", even 1, I can sell 1 credit accounts, starting new week. For more info email me, or try catching me on ICQ.

here in UK netwrk providers by in large charge to unlock your phone thogh the official OFTEL ruling is they shudnt as long as they have recovered all subsidy of the phone (pay as you go) or that you have fulfilled and completed your minimum 12 month term of your contract.
true

Orange where going to charge me £10 as long as my contract was up if tried to get it before then had to end my contract before they would give it and pay up front the line rental for the rest of my year.

I can provide you NSC, NSCK etc. codes for all versions of t68 and t68i for a small fee but you have to show me proof that you legitimately own the phone. I am from the Philippines. I do not do remote unlocking. I do not do stolen phones. Interested parties can get intouch with me at opent68@yahoo.com

Anyone know what the T-Mobile UK unlocking cost is? (after the contract has finished)

Hi!
I know there is a few programs for unlocking ericsson t65/t68,
but they are very hard to find :>\
I don't own a copie but I want to! Is it some one who got it?
Thanx!

Hello.
Purchased a T68i today, it's got an AT&T sim in it and I'm with Voicestream/T-Mobile. Voicestream will be happy to give me service for it, but I need to unlock it.
Instructions http://www.logosunlimited.co.uk/unlocking_ericsson.htm there tell you to do a series of keystrokes "<**< " to find out if the phone is unlockable or not. I do those keystrokes, and I get to the menu they are talking about, but there is no number next to the NCK:. Am I screwed?
On a side note, anyone know of someone in the Atlanta, GA area that can hack this beauty? I'm looking into just about any avenue.
Thanks for any help.
Posted by rentboi
Manderso, when you see "NCK:" there won't be any number next to it. Here you are supposed to enter your unlock code -- do *NOT* enter anything unless you know what you are doing.
On the same screen, the title should say "Unlock (Net) 1", which means you have one try left to network unlock your phone -- you enter your unlock code after "NCK:"
There was a post a while back referencing this site: http://www.logosunlimited.co.uk/remote_unlocking.htm which do remote unlocking (you need to purchase a data cable). I have no personal experience with this site. This is only FYI.

Hi everyone!
I just got my new T68i from AT&T. I would like to unlocked because I want to use it in Spain with another service provider.
Could anyone tell me the webpage of a good place where I could send my phone to unlock? Is there any place in the Dallas (TX) Area?
Thank you!! I think this forum is GREAT!!
OM

So am I safe in saying:
Unless you get the unlock code from your sp;
or you get it unlocked at a sevice centre (which ain't going to happen!);
You can't unlock the phone yourself unless you use one of these logger/internet services unless you have an Emma II card.
If I'm talking rollocks, let me know cause I'm trying to get my head round all this...(More used to dealing with Nokias
)

I am not sure if this question has been answered. I have searched this forum and there seems to be conflicting answers to unlocking sims. I have a Voicestream T68m. I go to greece often and while there I bought a Vodafone prepaid sim card thinking it would work in my phone. But it didnt. Is this because Voicestream (now T-mobile) has progamed my phone only to accept their sim? If so is there anyway my phone can be reprogarmmed to accept other sim cards and if so does anyone know anyone in the USA that can do this for me? I have no problem paying for this service.
