I just got it unlocked by freemycell.com. My phone still works perfect. Good luck in trying!

good luck!

Just unlocked my s710a through Cingular!!

I called Cingular customer service, told them that I had purchased model "T637" in the past and had it unlocked through them. The service manager replied, "that is against our policy, and that it probably did not happen." - I replied, "I disagree, the customer service rep asked for my IMEI# and the provided my NCK code. The service manager then changed his story and told me that he could unlock my s710a as long as it was not still active, I told him that I had purchased the phone recently and was moving to Europe and would be changing providers, and felt that b/c of the cost of the phone that I did not wish to buy another one once over there. He immediately took down the IMEI# and provided the unlock code. Elaborate stretch of the truth but Cingular did give me the unlock code. Good Luck.

Hi guys,
I just got S710a as a gift and I live overseas and its not working there becouse its Cingular and its locked by them. I have called Cingular and they send my to Sony Ericsson and Sony Ericsson send me to Cingular. No one wants to help me. What can I do?? How can I unlock it? Can it be unlocked?
Please please guys help me. Its the best gift I ever had. HELP HELP

Thanks

To Unlock the S710a you need a T28 Unlock cable (DSC-11) and a piece of software calledTotal Multi-Server which is extremely safe to Unlock and even unbrand your Cingular S710a. Unbranding the phone makes the phone alot easier to use on another carrier! the one thing about this software is that each time you want to unlock or flash a phone you'll need to buy a credit to do so.

If you want to purchase the DSC-11 cable or the credits that are needed then visit:

thank you very much in advance...i will really appreciate any help...

you can find unlock cables on ebay. just search for sony ericsson data cable. make sure its not the usb version and you should be good to go. i bought a no name brand one to unlock my friends t306 and it worked perfectly. i read somewhere that the cheap cables work better for unlocking then the official sony ericsson ones, but i dont know if that is true or not. all i do know is that my cheap cable worked like a charm.

Hey folks,
I've simply called Cingular and told them that i travel overseas and i need to use my phone there.
In 4-5 days they called me with my unlock code.

---->once you get the unlock code, can you use them for any country with a different SIM card???

Code is phone based, not country based.
So once you unlock your phone, it will work for any country and any SIM.
It's a one time thing.

thanks a lot dialbat...i have been waiting for this question of mine to be answered for several days now...thank you so much...

glad that i could help,
good luck getting that unlock code.
