Hi new with a question.

[michellejones]

Hi i bought a mobile out of the yellow paper (Ad Trader) its a Samsung U700. I switched it on at home and as its vodafone but a unlocking code into it as its a present for my partner. the phone was ok until i did this and now it says "phone freeze sim unavailable contact service provider). Why would it say this and how do i get it fixed!?! Or can i get it fixed..............? cost £150 in cash upfront of this guy!! Please help! Michellejones :confused:

Hi,

Where did you have your unlocking code from? If you've entered it incorrectly then you may have locked your phone from unlocking altogether and this has other implications.

Is it possible that the SIM you put into the U700 is not a connected SIM, perhaps try another SIM card that you know works into it and see what happens then. Does the Vodafone SIM still work?

Your Sim cards validity might have been expired or you Sim might be damaged. Try a different sim card would be your best bet

Hi, I got the codes off ebay! I have tried a few different sims all have been connected...
I have been on phone to Samsung and Vodafone now and samsung said they could fix it for a charge of around £25.
Then Vodafone said they would give me the unlocking codes at a charge of £20.....
This phone is getting alot more expensive by the day! Havnt fixed it through samsung yet, waiting to see if anyone off here can help or give advice.
"What if i was to get a Cable and software to unlock it on pc?"
"Or 1 of those phone clips?"

~Help!!~ Thanks for the replies! Michelle

That might work with the software for your PC. I would just keep looking around and you will eventually find the key to unlock it.

hi,I have the same problem,i've been desperate and really like this phone.Bought this phone from a friend here in chicago for 3 months now (T-mobile USA)used to be working fine then just all of a sudden i get EMERGENCY CALLS this past 2 weeks ,i suspected my SIM bec. it has a dent (switching phones) and have already changed my SIM couple days ago.I also tried calling SAMSUNG USA TECH SUPPORT but unfortunately they found out that my IMEI is from middle east and not US.I also tried calling T-MOBILE TECH SUPPORT and still couldn't do anything . i have another old phone and my SIM works ok except with SAMSUNG U700.SAMSUNG USA TECH SUPPORT gave me the code for HARD RESET for factory settings and my phone accepted the code.Up to now,my phone is getting emergency calls but the funny thing is i can surf the net through the phone.My phone is unlock and i have another ROAMING SIM and tried but still no luck.I don't know what to do anymore.PLEASE HELP,would really appreciate your time reading my post.
Thanks
