Alright, basically I bought my Sony Ericsson W600i Cellphone for $300 CDN and I want to throw it up on ebay to try and get more for it, although I've been using it for about 3 weeks now, anyways, I have a Rogers SIM card in it and was just wondering how to tell if it is locked or not...

what happens if i sell it to soemoen in the USA and they have a card and it ends up not working...?

Can I unlock it somehow using the USB/Data cable that came with the phone?

Thankyou for any help!

where did you buy it from?

Posted by: LiquidCell

a seller on the redflagdeals.com message board...

why was $300 not a good deal?

also, this phone has no branding on it (ie, rogers, verizon, etc, etc.), however, probably because my SIM card, it sais Rogers and displays the rogers logo for a few seconds when i turn it on...

ok. turns out for some reason the fido card isn't working....

HOW do I go about unlocking this phone w. my PC?

Do the following button combination:
> * < < * < *

go to service locks and check that the provider lock icon has a picture of an unlocked lock.

Sounds like you already figured out that your phone's locked to Rogers, you'll have to either unlock it with DaVinci or have someone else unlock it.

Meant to say "network", my bad, haven't used a SE in a while.

Anyway, yeah, your phone is locked to Rogers.

will this phone work for someone else who is on rogers or does it need to be unlocked completely to allow another sim...
