I've searched the internet and can not find anything showing how to get to the service code on this phone. If anyone knows how please let me know. Thanks

You mean the lock code when you enter the manual programming? The SPC 000000?

Well, I'm not sure what exactly that is. I had before this phone a LG 8300 that when I hit the OK button and hit 0 it would ask for a service code. I then would punch in 000000 and it would take me into another part of the phone. From there I was able to customize a little and even unlock the mp3 player from that menu. Is there something similar on the Venus?

Yes, the LG had changed the programming. Instead with your phone, press
# # P R O G R A M 8 8 0 0 +Send or
# # 7 7 6 4 7 2 6 8 8 0 0 +Send
This is the new way of pressing Menu+0

I have an LG venus that I bought on ebay, and just like half of everyone out there, I bought a phone on the lost/ stolen list. I have given up on activating it, I would still like to use the phones camera and music capability though.
(it came with a charger and USB cable)
When I turn it on, It says LOCKED so I was thinking someone would be able to help me out here, I just want to use it for the features, not for calling. Any help would be appreciated.

If it starts up locked, you'll need to dial *228 and press option 1 to reset the lock code to the last four of the phone number. Problem is that device you have won't have a mobile number and *228 will fail, so only at a store with the tech can you unlock the device, but that's an "if" situation and may not work. I would try to get your money back.

Is unlocking a phone the same thing as making it available to all networks?
meaning. if I unlock the phone can I use the verizon phone with sprint?
