That's an ATT phone right ?

ATT phones even if you use the universal samsung unlock code, it wouldn't work for me.
This was specific to X426 and X427

If he has had the service for a while, he can just contact Cingular customer service and tell them his plans to go overseas. They will probably unlock it if he's been a customer for 3 months or more.

You're Ma Beotch 🙂

1. Switch OFF your phone.
2. Put in a SIM of a different network provider.
3. Now turn your phone back on. You will see an error message saying "Wrong Card".
4. Type *#9998*3323# in to your phone.
5. If you've entered the code correctly as outlined in the Step 4, you shall see a screen telling you to press exit. So hit the right soft key.
6. Now you will see a Menu of choices. Scroll down and select option 7 (?Jump to Null?). As soon as you select option 7, your phone will turn black and reboot itself. After your phone reboots, the SIM will be recognized and your SIM will work. (Please be patient while your phone reboots and DO NOT press any keys.)
7. Now, at your welcome screen type in *0141# and hit your call button! This will give you a message saying your phone is Personalized.
8. Power OFF your phone and insert your original SIM.
9. Once done, power ON your phone.
10. At the SIM Code prompt, it will ask you to enter a password. Type 00000000, (that is 8 Zero's). After you enter the code, hit "ok" and your phone should power up.

Try it ONCE. if it doesn't work the first time do not attempt it again.
You do it wrong 3 times I believe the phone will lock you out.
 
are you sure it's going to work on his phone? he has firmware 1.7, seems like there have been problems with this

Not crapping.

HOW the hell do people know this stuff? 😕 The steps outlined above could probably pilot the Space Shuttle remotely, via a Nintendo controller pad. Who finds this stuff out? I have a Samsung VGA1000. I'd love to be able to find out it's really a dual-Xeon server or something that just needs "a few codes" punched in. :beer: How do people find this out? The odds of stumbling on sucha complex code series by accident is about a quadrillion billion to one.
