I ordered the K790a off ebay and didnt think anything of getting the phone unlocked in order for me to be able and use my t-mobile sim card with the phone. When i recieved the phone this morning i started off by calling t-mobile they told me to call rogers, rogers then told me to call Sony Ericsson because they didn't have access to the unlock codes and then SE told me that they couldn't help me.. Someone please help me figure out how to get my phone unlocked its driving me CRAZY..

Thank you!!!

I saw a few places that are offering code unlocking for the k790.
The person says it won't re-lock if firmware is upgraded.

The code unlock seems a lot simpler compared to the Da Vinci team method.

Anyone one have an opinion on this? Is it possible or is this just a scam?

Thnx.

Honestly the K790a is a pain to unlock, you can't just use a code. its one of the new DB2020 phone and they require more work to unlock. 2 months ago when I got mine Davinci Team was the only one that could unlock them fully. Others can Partially unlock them but not like Davinci Team. I used the Davinci unlock and it worked perfectly, it costs $67 but it was well worth it. Good luck!

i decided to hell with going through the hassle of unlocking it.. i went ahead and sold it and bought an unlocked one.
