Unlock V551

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.cingular (More info?)

I just got a V551 and it's locked. The Cingular person that helped me was
expecting the phone to be unlocked but I guess Cingular is going to locked
phones in some cases. Oddly enough, on that very same day I also got a
Motorola 220 and it wasn't locked...go figure...

Cheers

I think my new V551 is locked because a message said "SIM blocked" at
some point the other day.

I have heard a few different things on the 551,My friends came unlocked he
got another and its locked.
There is a place http://www.howardforums.com/ do a search on your phone and
you will find what you need to do it yourself.
its fun its easy I have a Cingular Sim and a T-Mobile that I use to check

so where did you shop? state? Cingular, Best Buy, or other? In the case
of the MPx220, if you get it from Cingular it comes locked, from BB it
is unlocked...

We bought it through Amazon.com. The phone is being shipped from
either Campbellsville or Lexington KY. I can't tell which is the
origin. Don't know who is actually sending it.

Got one last week from Cingular and it was unlocked. Popped in a Tmobile
SIM and it worked right away. Seems to be hit or miss depending on where
you shop.
