used Cingular Treo 650 won't take my Cingular SIM - Treo Forum

handelhirsh · 04-17-2007, 10:26 PM

I lost my Treo 650 on vacation (long story) and bought a replacement on eBay. The new phone is definitely a Cingular phone (little orange guy welcomes you when you turn it on, etc.) but the Treo won't take my Cingular SIM card. We tried several SIM cards at the Cingular store. Cingular (I mean the knew AT&T) customer service is trying to get me an unlock code but say it will take 3-5 days if they can get it. The former owner says the phone worked fine for him and that he did not lock it. Does anyone know why this happened or how to fix it (in less than 3-5 days?) I'm not feeling very confident that the Cingular folks know how to fix this problem.

Hopefully you've got this figured out by now, but if not the answer is a non-Cingular supplied unlock. For $30 and couple HotSyncs the 650 will take any SIM you put in it.
