How to Unlock Pre3 ATT Locked phone

Hi

 

I got pre3 phone from one of my friend which is locked for ATT US.

 

I got the unlock code as well.

 

But if I am using the unlock code given by HP Retailer, it is throwing error and is locked.

 

Any help please on how to unlock this.

 

Thanks

RK

Re: How to Unlock Pre3 ATT Locked phone

IIRC, all you should have to do is insert the a non-ATT SIM card into the phone and it will prompt you for the unlock code. That being said, the lock codes come from the carrier, not the retailer. It's possible the retailer might have given you the wrong code. Try calling ATT. They should give you the code (as long as you don't owe them any $$$).

Also, it's been a while since I've unlocked a GSM phone. Anybody have more recent experience that can confirm/deny my suggestion?
