Hi all.
I'm studying in Australia. I got my Samsung F480 from "3" from over there.
I'm here for 3 months holiday, and want to use my phone here.
Problem is, I was too kan cheong to use it, i inserted Hotlink SIM card inside and when requested for a code... I quickly typed in my PIN code.

Actually the phone was asking for an unlocking code. I kept entering my PIN code and kept wondering "WHY IS THIS BLADY THING NOT WORKING? DON'T TELL ME I FORGOT THE CODE!!!! ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!" *press press press*
Then I failed 3 times. Then I called my Australian service provider and they said "Uh oh, you have just permanently locked your phone. You should have called us and asked for your unlocking code. Now you are GG-fied, we cannot do anything, your phone is PERMANENTLY LOCKED."
WTF.
I wonder if anyone can rectify this problem for me? I'm not sure of handphone terminology here. Is this considered Unlocking a phone? IF SO, can my phone be unlocked by anyone here? AND ON TOP OF THAT, will I be able to use an Australian SIM when I go back in Feb?
*My Australian service provider claims that only Samsung will be able to do anything with it and the matter is out of their hands now*
What should I do? *cries*
That phone is my baby sad.gif
Hmm...
I am not quite sure what it meant by permanently unlocked but I do have the same problem as you last time. I subscribe for a phone from optus and unable to use Malaysia sim card. So I went to Lowyat PLaza and pay RM 10 for people to unlock it for me and they did that in 5 minutes. Maybe you can just go and try your luck in Lowyat Plaza and any Mobile phone shop.
CHeers, don't worry. I think it is just the software issue of the phone. No big deal
