Cingular sells the Treo 650.
However, I was in a company store today and they said their world phones
are locked now.
Anyone here in usenetland purchase a 650 recently? Is it locked?
And if so, has anyone successfully unlocked one?
TIA

you can unlock the GSM version of the Treo 650 by entering the sequence
*#*#1234# and then pressing the center D-pad button.

I thought one needed a code (specific to the telephone being unlocked) from
Cingular.
Is a generic string like that sufficient to unlock?

From forum on Treocentral:
http://discussion.treocentral.com/sh...ad.php?t=79316
" This is not a subsidy unlock. It's called a PUK code and all it does is,
if I recall, undo the lock that occurs if you mis-enter the PIN too many
times. "

I bought one a month ago and it's locked. I haven't tried to unlock it
but have no doubt that someone, somewhere, someplace has figured it out
and will do it for me (for a price, naturally) should I want it done.

I just want to relate my experience from last week as regards unlocking a
Cingular phone. I called and explained that I plan to travel to Europe and
needed to unlock my phone so I can use a temporary sim while there. The rep
tried to offer me other options to access messages while traveling, but I
politely said that I wanted to keep my options open. She said "no problem"
and an unlock code would be forwarded by e-mail in a few days. I got the
code as promised.
