I mean the lock they put on it so that you can't use it on a different network!
Henrietta wrote:They won't do it for me because with my plan you can't get any new phones, ever. I can't upgrade because I'm on my family's plan. So I bought a go phone for my network and tried to put my card in it (a friend had done it on a different network). Unfortunately, it's asking for a subsidy password. I think I might have found someone who works for them that will do it, I just have to pay him. Boo.

Instructions
Unlock Codes
Code 1: *2767*688 then your IMEI and then press #
For example *2767*688352708000828246# (Everything before the / for C225)
Code 2: *0141#
Code 3: 00000000 (8 zero's)
Entering the Codes
1. Switch your phone off. Remove the original SIM card
2. Insert another SIM card from an alternative network. Power up your
phone. You should now see the "Wrong Card" message.
3. Type Code 1 into your phone, if this is entered correctly your
phone screen should now turn black and reboot itself. (C225 doesn't go
black but does reboot)
4. After the phone reboots the SIM card will be recognized and your
SIM will work. Be patient while your phone reboots and DO NOT press
any keys. At this point the phone is "Temporarily" unlocked.
5. Now at your idle screen type in Code 2 and hit the call button.
This should give you a message saying the phone is "Personalized".
6. Power off the phone and insert the original SIM, then power up.
7. At the SIM code prompt, it will ask you to enter a password. At
this stage enter Code 3.
8. After entering hit "OK" and your phone should complete initialization.
Your phone is now Permanently unlocked.
Note: These instructions assume the default password of 8 zero's.
