Default Unlocking? Sony w600i & Sony w900i

Anyone know how to unlock Sony Ericsson w600i and the w900i phone?

For free at that.

Or Do you think Cingular will unlock the phones for me if I take it in? I've been with them for years now so... if it's the 90 day thing I shouldnt have a problem.

I'm going overseas in th summer so it be nice to have them unlocked ^^

thanks

Hello Yunnie and WELCOME to WA. You cannot walk into Cingular and get your phone unlocked. If you call Cingular and tell them that you need it for overseas use they are supposed to give you the unlock code within 5 business days. I have to warn you though that sometimes they don't, but generally speaking it has worked most of the time.

it worked for me with my v551, but the girl had a hard time understanding what it was that i wanted. after talking to her superviser, i got it.

good luck.

Well what about the w900i? I dont think Cingular can unlock a mobile that is locked to a different server. The w900i is locked to Vodafone.

Yunnie, you are correct, Cingular will not unlock a phone locked to a different provider. If you search on the web you can probably find a paid unlocking service that will work for you.

Good luck
