Hey all,

So I am in Greece and bought a local sim card. From reading your posts, it seems that you need a unlock code from AT&T wireless to use other networks simcards. I obtained that number from my provider. The problem is I am unsure how to enter it.

The sim card works...a friend lent me her phone and after entering the sim card pin I could use it fine . When I place this card in my treo, however, I get a screen asking me for the pin number. I enter the pin of the sim card and it comes up as incorrect. I know I need to "unlock" the phone first, but when do I enter the unlock code? I tried entering it in the SIM card pin window but I get another "incorrect pin" message. Plus the characters are obscured so I am not sure if my keypad is even on the right setting. HELP.

Tom
