i recieved a code from cingular that is supposed to unlock my samsung d807 phone. i wasn't sure where to actually enter the code, so i just entered it like i was making a call. after i hit the send button it said 'personalization canceled.' does that mean the phone is now unlocked?

I tried to unlock a T- Mobile Samsung SGH-R225M phone using the code posted in this thread. However I can only see the character - (i.e. hyphen) for every number I press after *2767* and after I enter the IMEI number & perssing #, all I get the wrong card message again. Does this mean the phone is already unlocked? The phone does not reboot or anything. I don't have the original sim card so I was using another old non-working sim card from my now canceled Cingular service. Can someome help me where I went wrong? I want to use this card overseas. Thank for your help.

Can someone please help me out here!!!

Hi,

Thanks for providing the unlocking instructions. It took me 3 minutes to do all that. But after unlocked the phone, I was not able to make a phone call when another company's SIM card was there. After the phone is unlocked I would expect the phone and SIM card to work together and I should have been able to make a phone call. When I tried calling I got a message "Emergency calls only". BTW, there is enough signal strength to make a phone call. It would be great if you can let me know about this.

Thanks,

Chandra

Hey, I'm thinking of picking up a Samsung D807 on ebay, but I'll need to unlock it so I can switch it from Cingular to Rogers.

Two sites I found gave the following method, can anyone confirm whether this actually works or know anything else I should consider before buying the phone?

"1. If you have changed your phone password, change your password back to the default 8 zeros (00000000).
1a. NOTE (Modification here by my experience): Goto SETTINGS, SECURITY, then SIM LOCK and disable this before proceeding.
2. 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)
3. When Incorrect SIM (I got invalid card and there was a sim card graphic spinning) error comes up, type *#9998*3323#.
4. White screen will appear with an exit option. Press the right softkey. (I ended up pushing the down key to get a menu)
5. From the menu that appears, select the Malloc Fail option. This will reboot the phone and the normal service screens will appear.
6. Type *0141# and then press the green call key. "Personalization" or "Personalized" will appear.
7. Turn off your phone and put the original SIM back in.
8. Turn on your phone. You will receive a prompt to enter a password.
9. Type 8 zeros (00000000) (This is because the SIM LOCK Mentioned earlier gets switched back on)
10. Completed. You have now unlocked your phone."

If you phone did not reject the sim card and card was from another carrier then phone is unlocked. To function fully it would have to be an active sim not just one you happen to have.

It looks like the SGH-D415 needs cable & S/W to unlock becuase i have been looking in all Forums and nobody knows the code. I need to unlock mine also, but I can not find the code. I tried other codes twice already & I don't want to freeze my phone.

Here. try this. It worked for me.

*2767*688(Your imei number)#

then do *0141# and yes, fone is all unlocked

this method for D415-D410-C200-C225-C315
Tested byme for C200.
