Dear All,
I have just purchansed a CIngular 8125 locked phone.
I stay in Asia and I can only insert a non congular SIM on to the phone.

So when I install a non-cingular SIM and switch on the phone, I think I will be presented with the "enter unlock code " screen (correct me if Im wrong).

My question is with the help of "Lokiwiz03a" will I be able to get the unclock code or please help on What will I have to do to get the phone unlocked.

Many Thanks,
Kumar.

Unlocking code

I'm a Cingular customer, and I recently called them up to get my unlocking code. First I got the Atlanta helpdesk and had to bump my request to a supervisor who then tried to transfer me to Technical Support when the call mysteriously dropped...then I called back and got the Northwest call center, and it took about 3 minutes to give them the information required. I got the unlock code two days later via email.
The caveat is that it only works 5 times before it's permanently locked to Cingular, so I guess you have to make sure when traveling that you always use the same prepaid Sim card...

I don't know why you guys even bother with cingular...the above customer support proves that they ... suck? Your situation above is actually a lot better than my experiences with them and that's saying a lot. Anyhow, nothing beats the companies here in Canada however

Edit: Nevermind what I said yesterday. Today they overcharged me...

I just got the cingular 8125 (ROM 2.25.0001) and I used Lokiwiz03a to unlock the phone. works great for me, as I use T-mobile service. just follow the instructions on the post (you have to search for the post...)

good luck!

If you're from Asia, I suggest you stick to using phones that are meant for Asia. This will lessen your troubles for sure. I don't suggest trying to unlock it by yourself unless you really know what you're doing. But if you do unlock it, post it asap so we'll know if it does work!

I had the easiest time unlocking my phone when i was with tmobile they were very helpful all i did was call tell them the model and gave them my email the same day i got an email directly from motorola with unlock instructions. Cingular was a pain and never gave me the info so i'm no longer with them. There's a lot of sites with unlock code info but if you want to get more visitors to yours i suggest reading the google magic formula it helped me out a lot.
