    Yes, I think that sprint can unlock you, they have the right software for that without cost I think [​IMG]

    and you can do it manualy if you are patient, but maybe you do not have patience

    good luck

    By default the lock code is set to the last 4 of your phone#. If that doenst work take it into a Sprint Store and they can extract for you at no cost. The mai reason of the lock code is exactly what youd think it would be for, to lock others out of your handset. It's also useful if you dont want all of your phone numbers in your phone book visible.

    Ohh yes, I forgot what lucky says, it is true, they put you the last four digits of your cell phone number for lock code if still does not work, try to enter 0000 and it still does not work, take it to sprint [​IMG]

    good luck

    Lock codes normally are

    1) 0000
    2) last 4 digits of your cell phone number
    3) last 4 digits of your social security number.

    If none of those work....then take it to a Sprint store [​IMG]

    G'luck to you

    I tryed it. First I tryed the 0000 that wasnt it. Then I tryed last four numbers of cell number it works. Now the question what the heck can you do with all of this I see. Explain it.

    Let's say you leave your phone in your coat when you go somplace... If you have shady friends ( like I do ) you might want to make sure they aren't using your phone instead of their own. Lock the phone and no one can make calls without unlocking it first. It isn't great security, but it might save you some trouble. This is just one example... TT
