Hi, i am in the US.. and i just bought a sony s710a by cingular. Im trying to get this phone unlocked but a dealer here is saying, "it can't be unlocked without damaging the software". Is there a safe way or a unlocker, that can unlock this phone? thanks

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.

the phone will definitely work in the philippines or anywhere in asia as long as it is a GSM phone and the carrier supports one of the frequency that the phone has...

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

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

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.

hey guys, I have a similar problem, only I am with T-mobile service and am trying to unlock the phone. Cingular is saying they cannot do anything unless I have an account with them. What am I to say to convince them?

Also once unlocked how do I enter the lock code if I do not have a cingular simcard?

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.
