Hi, i am in the US.. and i just bought a sony s710a by cingular. Im trying to get this phone unlocked but a dealer here is saying, "it can't be unlocked without damaging the software". Is there a safe way or a unlocker, that can unlock this phone? thanks
 
Hey folks,
I've simply called Cingular and told them that i travel overseas and i need to use my phone there.
In 4-5 days they called me with my unlock code.
 
the phone will definitely work in the philippines or anywhere in asia as long as it is a GSM phone and the carrier supports one of the frequency that the phone has... :cool:

---->once you get the unlock code, can you use them for any country with a different SIM card???
 
I just got it unlocked by freemycell.com. My phone still works perfect. Good luck in trying! :D
 
Just unlocked my s710a through Cingular!!

I called Cingular customer service, told them that I had purchased model "T637" in the past and had it unlocked through them. The service manager replied, "that is against our policy, and that it probably did not happen." - I replied, "I disagree, the customer service rep asked for my IMEI# and the provided my NCK code. The service manager then changed his story and told me that he could unlock my s710a as long as it was not still active, I told him that I had purchased the phone recently and was moving to Europe and would be changing providers, and felt that b/c of the cost of the phone that I did not wish to buy another one once over there. He immediately took down the IMEI# and provided the unlock code. Elaborate stretch of the truth but Cingular did give me the unlock code. Good Luck.
 
hey guys, I have a similar problem, only I am with T-mobile service and am trying to unlock the phone. Cingular is saying they cannot do anything unless I have an account with them. What am I to say to convince them?

Also once unlocked how do I enter the lock code if I do not have a cingular simcard?
 
Code is phone based, not country based.
So once you unlock your phone, it will work for any country and any SIM.
It's a one time thing.
 
Hi guys,
I just got S710a as a gift and I live overseas and its not working there becouse its Cingular and its locked by them. I have called Cingular and they send my to Sony Ericsson and Sony Ericsson send me to Cingular. No one wants to help me. What can I do?? How can I unlock it? Can it be unlocked?
Please please guys help me. Its the best gift I ever had. HELP HELP :sad: :(

Thanks
 
the frequency asia use is 900mhz and your phone is 850mhz its not gonna work. i have nokia 3595 this phone is dual band 850 and 1900 when i send it to my brother the phone got no signal. 900mhz asia, 1800mhz europe, and 1900mhz u.s and canada. your phone is 850mhz.
 
To Unlock the S710a you need a T28 Unlock cable (DSC-11) and a piece of software calledTotal Multi-Server which is extremely safe to Unlock and even unbrand your Cingular S710a. Unbranding the phone makes the phone alot easier to use on another carrier! the one thing about this software is that each time you want to unlock or flash a phone you'll need to buy a credit to do so.

If you want to purchase the DSC-11 cable or the credits that are needed then visit:

Good Luck everyone and let us know how things go!

ugh, i have no luck with convincing Cingular to give me the lock codes for my 710, if anyone could spare some time to help me, i could PM you with the IMEI code and see if you could give it a shot :)
