I have a samsung SGH-D807 that was on rogers plan. My daughter upgraded and gave this phone to me. I need a sim card for it. Can anyone tell me what sim cards will work with this phone in Canada and also in the USA. I would also need a phone number and pay as you go plan. Obviously new to this kind of thing so your help would be appreciated. Thank you

Re: Samsung SGH-D807
You'll need to unlock the phone to use a SIM from another provider. You can get a sim from a pre-paid service when you sign up for it.
Here are the steps to unlock the phone:
- If you have changed your phone password, change your password back to the default 8 zeros (00000000).
- Goto SETTINGS, SECURITY, then SIM LOCK and disable this before proceeding.
- Put a SIM card that is from a network other than the one your phone is locked to (I used a TMOBILE card from my buddy Darin)
- When Incorrect SIM (I got invalid card and there was a sim card graphic spinning) error comes up, type *#9998*3323#.
- White screen will appear with an exit option. Press the right softkey. (I ended up pushing the down key to get a menu)
- From the menu that appears, select the Malloc Fail option. This will reboot the phone and the normal service screens will appear.
- Type *0141# and then press the green call key. "Personalization" or "Personalized" will appear.
- Turn off your phone and put the original SIM back in.
- Turn on your phone. You will receive a prompt to enter a password.
- Type 8 zeros (00000000) (This is because the SIM LOCK Mentioned earlier gets switched back on)
- Completed. You have now unlocked your phone.

Re: Samsung SGH-D807
Thanks John...I have used a sim card I got in Switzerland and everything you told me works. The Sim card bought in Canada (P/C mobile) says Sim card broke. Is it possible this card is broke or will it just not work in this phone...I understood you could get a card from any country as long as the phone is unlocked (which this one is). Also, how do I get a phone number assisgned? My daughter is still using the phone number she used when she had this phone....Thank you so much, Brenda
