Model : LG KU990 Viewty

1. insert original sim card and turn phone on.
2. Press telephone icon at bottom of screen to bring up the phone keypad
3. Enter 2945#*990#
4. A menu will pop up, select sim unlock
5. Enter your unlock code and press ok
6. The phone will then reboot and the unlock is complete.

For item 5. you need to buy the unlock code as I haven't found a program to do it yet, but im sure there will be one soon. look on google unlock codes are about a fiver

Maria.

Cheers hunny!!!

Im just sturggling to find anywhere that can generate step 5 for me ... the actual unlock code!

I'm waiting for a couple of emails back...

thank you for your help!

If tht works what a reply

when i had mine done at the local market stall.... i was amazed to see some of the phones they were unlocking for Ł20 just needed to be turned on and off a few times and a couple of buttons pressed.

Maria.

It will work, as soon as i can get the actual unlock code from somewhere!!

You're right, I had a quick look around and prices are high for the viewty unlock code, will keep looking!

Maria.

Oh bless ya.

I just paid a fiver, as one company said they could unlock, only to send me an email saying they cant! But not to worry as im in a fivers worth of credit with them next time i want a phone unlocked!!!

I think im gonna have to resort to going to a little shop and paying silly money to unlock it!

Having the same trouble with my 6300

Maria.

Ive called 4 little shops in Ipswich, and not one of them say they can unlock it!

I think im screwed.

That phone looks cool as, how much did it cost?

Especially liking the Youtube feature where you can upload vids directly from the phone(operator dependant)

Maria.

I got mine for Ł30 as an upgrade on T-Mobile....... shame i want to use my friggin orange sim card and cant though.........

Sorry to hijack but i got the same question, but for the Nokia N95 Locked to Vodaphone.

Is it the same sequence as above?

Cheers

BM08

If you got it as an upgrade then surly your with T-mobile already, which means you should already have a T-mobile sim unless you joined T-mobile purly to get the new phone for Ł30?

Maria.

Billy_RST - Its completely different mate! go to: www.gsmhosting.com and you might be able to find the solution there!

GTi_iTG - I have had the t-mobile contract for years, but dont use the sim..... i have an orange contract for my daily used!

BM08

Fair enough, hope you get it sorted

EDIT, maybe worth going to your local market and finding "Malcom" with the dodgy mobile phone stand, they might do it for ya

Maria.

Cheers fella, but tried that already... apparently he doesnt have the software yet!

BM08

well if Malcom dont have it then what chance have you got

All you can do is look around the net and use your other sim for now, at least you'd be able to use it instead of it sitting pretty on the desk doing nowt

Maria.

The thing is, there are people that are saying they can do it, but it takes 7 days and is Ł35!!!

Why 7 days?

And do i have any comeback if the unlock doesnt work?? Im just impatient thats all!

BM08

Fck that i wouldnt want to wait one day let alone 7

I cant help any further im afraid, ive never had to unlock a phone.

Maria.

Oh well its done now!! heres to waiting 7 days and using my t-mob sim while im waiting!!

BM08

Is the T-mobile contract really THAT bad then?

XR Dougie

as for a comeback huni, not really got a leg to stand on with that unles it was done through like a proper company?!?!

Because its a newish phone there still working out codes etc

Maria.

GTi_iTG - no not really, but i need the number that ive got with my orange sim...... and im halfway through a contract so cant transfer it to t-mobile

XR Dougie - as in unlocking it will invalidate my warranty? yeah that suck big time!

c.h.r.i.s

Can't help with the unlocking but i wouldnt mind knowing what the phone is like? upgrade time in a month and i want one. Are they any good?

scottbrown

May seem silly but why not go to LG? or ask T mob? explain that you use 2 sims etc. operators get issued with the unlock codes from the manufacurers or they certainly used to

Maria.

c.h.r.i.s - from the small amount of time ive played with it, its bloody brilliant!! the touch screen is fantastic and doesnt miss a trick!!

scottbrown - LG said they couldnt do it and t-mobile said they could for Ł15 but it would take a minimum of 28 days to get the code!!

BM08

wtf, why is it a military operation for a simple code, loads of people must ask them the same thing, so why not just give you that code

Maria.

Mental isnt it!!! oh well.... i have put my t-mobie sim in for now so that i can have a play with it, and i have to say, the phone is bloody brilliant!

The only shite thing is, when you have downloaded music onto it, if you want to delete the music, you have to use the LG software that the provide for you pc! so you have to go to your computer to delete it! other than that, its fan bloody tastic!

BM08

Oh that is abit shit having to go on a pc just to delete music but still thats a small gripe what with all the things it CAN do
