Menu 073887* to unlock T-Mobile sim NOT WORKING HELP !!

I have a unbarnded V600 with a T-Mobile sim. I got the sim unlock code from T-Mobile and have been trying for some time to input MENU 073887* but nothing . I have been doing it very fast and still nothing. Any help please

The unlock code should be 8 digits, are you sure you got the right one?

I cant even enter the MENU 073887* yet that is what is bothering me

Suga,

I have the same exact issue with my v600. I received the email from tmobile with the instructions and the unlock codes and nothing works. Were you able to get it to work? If so, can you let me know what you did?

Thanks in advance...

Guys, turn your phone off, insert the sim card, upon turning on your phone, it will ask for a subsidy code that's when you need to enter your code.

Tony,

Do you need a SIM card from another service provider or can you use the one that's already in the phone?

Thanks for your help....

If you use your carrier's sim card it will not ask for the code since the phone is already branded for your particular carrier...

So yes, you need a sim card from another carrier for your phone to ask for the subsidy code.

Tony,

I appreciate your help. One more question.......How would I get another SIM card. Do I have to borrow a friends SIM card who belongs to another carrier (i.e. cingular) and will that SIM card fit in my phone? Are they all the same size? Can I goto the store and buy one?

Thanks again...

The easies is to borrow a friend's who uses a GSM carrier, Cingular in your case, and insert their sim card into your phone, and yes the sim card will fit, they are the same size, even Nextel's are the same.

Thanks for all your help!!

Don't mention it, let us know if you are able to unlock your v600, nice choice by the way..

If you cannot do it I can unlock it,but would need the phone.

I will try and unlock it next week. My friend has cingular so I will try and use his SIM card to unlock it. If I can't, I may take you up on that offer.

Thanks...

You don't need to send your phone anywhere, you can do a remote unlock through a website service...

Hey guys,

Well it worked. I borrowed my friends Cingular SIM card and placed it in my phone. I used the unlock code T-Mobile provide and "BAM", it worked!!!

Thanks for all your help!!
