so, recently, i made the decision to sell my old focus since i got the S when it came out, and i went to unlock it
At&t gave up the unlock code fairly easily , which amazed me, but every procedure they gave me to unlock it(dialing in both with and without sim) via the unlock code failed
so finally they told me that i Absolutely needed to have a non-at&t sim card in it and when it promted for the unlock code to just put it in, no hastle
"well, that sounds to good to be true"............and it was
i went to pick up a chap 10$ tracfone for its generic simcard, registered it, and popped it into the focus and was greeted with a "invalid sim:emergency calls only"
really? Seriously?
so i called up samsung to be told the same thing, with absolutely no other helpful information given to me, and now i dont know what to do
id like to sell it, but im not going to if its at&t branded,and i cant give it away to someone i know, because the few people i do know that may have wanted it dont have the money for data
so, anyone know anything about whats going on here, because i have no clue
thanks in advance for the replies
Edit : nevermind, if you access the diagnosis menu and hit the network lock codes with an old at&t sim card , you can use your unlock # from there, much easier that way
