Display shows "SOS calls only"

A co-worker purchased a Pantech U4000 on Ebay. The description stated that it was unlocked and compatable with T-Mobile, ATT and another carrier. When I insert my SIM the display shows "SOS calls only." Does this mean that the phone is not unlocked and if so, is there an unlock code available?

Yes unfortunately it means the seller was dishonest when they said unlocked, but the other probability is that this phone for made for Europe only and is only a Tri-band GSM so it will only use one US frequency which means the phone isn't very useful here in the US. You can google for sites that offer unlock codes for a small fee.

I just got my pantech u4000 and it asking me for a puk code. I have no idea what that is.

hello
puk code is provided with your sim card. when you buy a line they give a small card where you find your pin number, also there is a puk number on it which is necessary if you lock your pin number.
feel free to contact me here under your topic if more help needed
regards

When you place a new or a existing SIM card from another phone provider into a different cell phone and it asks for a Security Code then :-
(UNLOCKING SERVIECE IS NOT FREE)
1)GO TO http://www.unlocking4u.com/unlocking-services/rs6wp6/
OR
2)GO TO http://www.unlock-zone.com/
NOTE:
*#06# It will then display your IMEI number and you may also get a unique global serial number. Your IMEI number should be 15 digits.

My pantech matrix got wet and won't stay on or make calls.

You can try to let it dry out in the sun for a day or so. Take off the cover, battery, sim card, etc. so water does not stay trapped. Try again in a couple of days. If it still doesn't work, it's not going to.

I just bought a pantech u4000, whenever i try to use the text mesage feature , sending, recieving, or reading, my phone restarts will not let me delete any messages

This phone is only Tri-band and made for Europe only, it is not Quad band which means it has the 2 European frequencies but only the one odd US one so you probably cannot get access because the phone is missing the frequency. Anytime you buy a phone on-line make sure it is either 850Mhz/1900Mhz for US or that it is QuadBand. 850/900/1800/1900Mhz which means it works in all countries on all networks.
