Hello,
I believe I have unlocked my phone but it not letting me make calls....
xda2s
ROM 1.40.00 WWE
ROM Date 03/10/05
Radio 1.12.00
Protocol 1337.42
Extrarom Ver 1.40.237
Was on the o2 network, have run the unlock which said it work.
The log file returned lots of answers as 0 or 00000000
Is the a program I can run which will confirm whether it is unlocked or not.
I have tried both my tmobile pay as you go and vodaphone pay monthly sim but not able to make calls.
I am able to pick up all betwork signals which are all of good strength.
I am not being allowed to select pay as you go in the start up section when selecting country. It does if I chose Germany.
Any help appreciated, thanks

Can someone please just tell me if I look like a complete novice ??
And that is why I have had no replies in 2 days regarding this....
Or is it because nobody knows the answer?
Thanks
Service Lock?
I am gettings signals from networks and my phone is seeing my sim.
As soon as I press talk the call ends.....
Am I locked to a network provider....?
And I have still not resolved the issue of whether the phone is actually unlocked.
I am not sure as it will not let me select payasgo on the set up?
This is my last post before I give up and give my hard earned cash to 02 instead of you guys....
Cheers[/b]
Re: Service Lock?
Sounds barred to me. If locked it would spit the sim back at you asking for the unlock code to be entered.

Hello !!!
Thanks for the response, but a bit concerning,,,, of course
Is there a way in which I can tell if a phone has been blocked?
02 will not give any details unless I have an account, for some reason.
You would think they could tell you so you could hand the phone back and return it to the original owner? etc etc
I need to know if it is blocked as I will not be able to use it. I can send it back to the person I bought it from... or at least have proof...
Thanks
Does it ring on incoming calls?
Calls
It will not allow any outgoing calls.
I just called it when it was switched off and it went to my voice mail.
Switched on it said " calls are currently not being connected to this phone"?
he phone is picking up all my virgin mobile settings and my number, plus it has virgin extras in the menus!!
Everything seems there.
I called 02 and they suggested going to their local shop and use an 02 sim card to see if that worked.
He said they can do an imie (whatever) check but it would take best part of 14 working days.
Surely there must be somewhere you can just type the number to see if a phone is stolen.
Or do all the service providers assume that after the 12 months are up in peoples contracts that they are goign to throw the phone away and not sell it
From what you've described, your phone has been reported lost or stolen, and has been blocked. I had the same problem with a Treo 600 bought from ebay. I phoned Orange, who looked up the imei on the spot, and told me it had been reported stolen.
I'd get onto the seller straight away, tell him it's barred, and ask for your money back.
IT IS NOT STOLEN
OK,
3rd time lucky, I always say if you ask 3 times the chances are you will find someone willing.,...
On my 3rd call to 02 the guy checked the imei number for me and the phone is not stolen or lost or had insurance against it. etc
So, square one again.
I do not understand how the phone detects my virgin sim with my numbers etc etc, it is picking up all networks, but just not letting me make calls..or receive them.
Could someone please confirm the settings I should use for a pay as you go...
Is it PAP or CHAP?
and class 8 or 10?
At least if I walk into an 02 store the SAS will not swoop in to arrest me!!
Thanks
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Have used various imei checkers which all say OK.
O2 will not help unless I have the original owner details.
I managed to get the name and phone number of the original owner who really sounds legit.... and I am a good judge of character.
One lady at 02 confirmed that that imei number was for his number but her system would not tell her why it was barred.
The orignal owner says it should be fine so I asked him to call 02.
I spoke to another lady at 02 who wants all his details before she will even press a button. (Obviously he is a bit reluctant to give me his home address and phone number etc... she even asked for his password, I said who in their right mind would )
Another person at 02 confirmed it is not lost or stolen. (This is the basis of buying the phone as I checked this before I purchased it.)
02 will not tell me why it is barred.....
I can only assume that it is because of an unpaid bill.....however, the original owner still has an account with 02 which is still up and running which I called him on,,,, which the first lady confirmed that the imei number was connected to that number...and they confirmed that the phone has not been used since june last year. It has only been used for Sat Nav since.
Any ideas.....
And they wonder why people look into having the imei number changed!!
Thanks
hey guys.. i got a 8125 from cingular off Ebay but the seller didnt tell me that he does not know the 4 digit user unlock code that is usually the last 4 digits off the person cell number or something ( im guessing ) so is there anyway to unlock it threw activesync or something? Any suggestions would be appreciated..
Mine is 17 characters, but US TMobile asks for 15 characters. I'm using Kavaran's 0314 rom.
the last 2 numbers dont count, and always compare your IMEI number from within Windows to the one on the sticker under you phone battery, they are sometimes different:/
ok. thanks.
Could some of you please share the first 8 digits of the IMEI #s for your AT&T Tilt2s?
I don't need the full number, only the first 8 digits.
Why are you asking?

we can check the model from the IMEI# online
I want to unlock my Inc, but it seems my MEID is only 14 digits, not 15 digits. called *#06# as well as looked underneath the batter cover and they are the same. Is the MEID supposed to only be 14 digits? And if so, is there a way I can find the last digit?
Mine is only 14 too.

Unlock as in SIM unlock? If so, the Inc doesn't have a sim. And can't be unlocked for international use. What you're looking for is an IMEI, which the Inc doesn't have.

My Inc is 14 digits as well. Are you sure you're talking about the original Inc for Verizon which is a CDMA phone?
