Sim lock When I put my sim card in this phone, it says sim lock, enter password. I don't know the code or password so I called cingular and they tried to help me using different codes and it didn't work. They said someone had to change the code, but no one in my family has done that. So I went to the cingular location and they told me to contact samsung. I would like to use this phone because I think it's one of the best phones I've had. I tried a few other ones and came back to this one. Can you please help me with this?

my cellphone is frreze what i have to do hello?

Is the Nokia 5300 even compatible with a Cingular SIM card?? I want that phone, but I don't know if my family is staying with Cingular or moving to T-Mobile..

SIM cards can only be unblocked by the Service Provider (cingular, t-mobile, etc). They have a specific code based on the SIM card number. If you have entered the incorrect code more that 5 times, you will invariably incapacitate the SIM card. Contact your providers support department, or go to the store and they should be able to take care of it for you. Best of Luck.
