Cellular Phone Forum / General / GSM / March 2004Verify unlock.
I bought a T68i with AT&T branding, supposedly unlocked. I have an AT&T sim and all my friends are running Sprint PCS. Is there a way to verify that the phone is unlocked without another sim? I want to be sure now - before I leave feedback - not later when I'm in a foreign country cursing at an Orange sim. > I bought a T68i with AT&T branding, supposedly unlocked.

Visit a Cingular or T-Mobile store, and ask if this is unlocked for use on their service. Fido if you're in Canada. Ask to borrow the salesman's activated SIM, or even a functional (but dead, unusable, to the billing computer) one from the service technician. Any non-fried SIM of another carrier will do. You may write me directly, after deSPAMming my address. John C. Mike <spamtrap@zbuffer.com> wrote: > I bought a T68i with AT&T branding, supposedly unlocked.

If all 4 or 5 are open (take a close look, gap is only 1 pixel wide), then the phone is unlocked. HTH, M. > Mike <spamtrap@zbuffer.com> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > M. Wow.

Works on every (Sony-)Ericsson phone since ages, btw. Was it unlocked or not? M. > [To see whether a S/// phone is locked or not] > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > M. Yes, it was unlocked.
