How to enter SIM unlock code?

I got unlock code from Tmobile USA. After I put in a SIM from another network, Dash asked me to enter unlock code. The problem is it only allows me to enter 8 digits, while the code I got have 15 digits... I unlocked another Dash before and didn't get this problem. I'm using Kavana's 6.1 ROM. Any idea what's wrong?
Thanks.

Never mind. I think TMobile gave me a wrong code... My previou phone's unlock code is 8 digits..

Where do I enter the sim unlock code ?

Help ....
I've got a HTC S620 locked to BTMobile. Currently running a 3VOLUTION Series rom - which is way better than the usual stuff that BT give us.
Anyway - BT recently gave me an 8 digit sim unlock code, and told me to put another sim card in and enter the code when the on-screen prompt appears ... but with the above ROM it doesn't appear
Any other way of entering this unlock code - other than reverting back to the factory rom, and then flashing again ?
Cheers
Mark

I did mine yesterday "as in sim unlock" reverted back to BT ROM to do it know Kavana etc allows just seems the new 6.5's the unlock mobile screen wasn't showing up.

Help! Entering TMO USA TP2 SIM Unlock code, where do I enter it?

Guys I'm over in Europe and attempting to use a vodaphone SIM, I'm running NRG's ROM and radio 4.49.25.17.
T-Mobile had kindly provided the SIM unlock code for my TP2 prior to my trip but when I put in the Vodaphone SIM it doesn't prompt me for an unlock code?
Do I need to manually enter it somewhere?

I think its supposed to prompt you with a screen asking for the code, make sure the Vodafone sim is properly inserted and if that doesn't work you can try looking up the phones engineering mode.

Is the device booting into Windows Mobile & usable with the other SIM card installed? Where did you buy it? Sounds like it may be unlocked already. Anytime I put the wrong SIM in a locked device, on boot up I would get a message for the unlock code & device was unusable, would not progress past this screen. You had to either enter the unlock code or reset & remove the SIM card.

First, check if your device is unlocked by going to Start>Settings>System>Device Info and on one of the tabs, it should say unlocked somewhere. Or, you can check it by downloading ATCommander onto your device and entering [email protected]?40 into ATCommander. It should return 0 if you're unlocked. If it returns 1, you're SIM locked.
Now, if you are still locked, try flashing the Stock Tmobile USA ROM, and insert the Vodafone SIM then. Hopefully, a dialog should come up with an area to enter you unlock code. On the Kaiser, you supposedly had to be running the stock AT&T ROM in order to get the dialog unlock the device with an unlock code. Hopefully that will work. If not, TMobile tech support could probably answer this. Hope that helps

Unlock Tilt2 SIM after having flashed ROM?

Is it possible to use the ATT&T unlock code and procedure on a Tilt2 that has already been flashed with Energy ROM?

If you already flashed a cooked ROM (Like Energy´s) it means your Rhodium is already unlocked
So no need to do it again, now you can flash any ROM (stock or cooked) you want!
Don´t forget to vote!

yes, the ROM is unlocked. But I am asking about the SIM. When the SIM is unlocked then you can use the phone on any carrier, not just AT&T.

Sorry, misunderstood

I would assume so, just get the code and put in a foreign SIM card and it should ask you for the unlock code which you then enter.
I can't imagine changing the software will change the code which is always the same and based on the IMEI.
Which is why with the older phones, it was easy to crack the algorithm, now a days they have made it harder but I guess it is still possible. Mostly these days the cracks come from sniffing the code out using software on the device (you couldn't flash old Nokia's, so you had to break the algorithm) or buy injecting a hack (like the iPhone's unlock) that hides the real unlock hardware/radio/software and just always responds unlocked.

Thankx for the clear answer. I received the unlock code from AT&T and when I am in the foreign country and put the foreign SIM in, then I'll keep my fingers crossed that the phone will ask me to input the code.

You can unlock it now. Just get a T-mobile SIM and put it in your AT&T Tilt2. It'll boot up and ask for your unlock code.

Does HardSPL and flashing a new rom unlock the phone?

Forgive me, I couldnt find the answer to this question.
If it doesnt, what is the best way to do it!
Thanks!

Yes, sorry

There are various sites that will give you the unlock code which is based on your IMEI number, but you shoudl be able to contact the carrier that branded the device and ask them for the unlock code. Then just put the SIM card you want to use in the phone and turn it on, you will get a Network is locked message with a box for you to enter the unlock code you got from the branded carrier.

I havent been able to get an unlock code since the 90's - I use Tmobile and they wouldnt even consider doing it.

If you are unable to obtain the unlock code from T-Mobile then you may want to check this thread:
