Sprint and Alltel will not activate unlocked CDMA phones "CDMA phones technically can be unlocked but not in the same sense that people think about GSM and iDEN unlocking. Since CDMA phones do not use a SIM card, they are sort of "hardwired" to the provider that sells them. Therefore, they can only be unlocked by the provider with a special code that they absolutely will not give out over the phone.

This contrasts how you might call Cingular and have them give you an unlock code so you can travel overseas and use your GSM phone with a foreign SIM card. GSM phones can usually be unlocked remotely, but CDMA phones require a bit of 'reprogramming' to unlock, and it's not as simple as calling your provider and getting a code over the phone. Generally, CDMA phones are NOT considered unlockable because it is usually impractical to do so.

Sprint, my provider, will not under any circumstances activate a non-Sprint phone, so an unlocked CDMA phone would be useless to you if you use Sprint. Even if you get an unlocked CDMA phone and by some chance are able to have it activated with your provider, many of the features will not work correctly unless someone with quite a bit of technical knowledge reprograms the phone to your provider's specifications. "So, you can see where this is a very confusing subject.

Even if you can unlock your CDMA phone, who is going to activate it for you? I suggest you call your CDMA provider, whether it's Sprint, Verizon, or whoever, and ask them if they will activate an unlocked Treo. Don't be surprised if they either act like they don't know what you're talking about, or even laugh at you for asking.

You may have to ask for a level-2 tech person before you even get an acknowledgement that CDMA unlocking is possible. Your best chance is with a prepaid service, as they generally do not care where the phone comes from as long as you are buying their minutes, but I would still suggest calling them and asking before you spend the money on a phone. "The bigger CDMA providers like Verizon, Sprint, and Alltel won't reprogram another carrier's phone for their network.

They often give excuses like, "It wouldn't work correctly on our network" or "that phone will roam all the time and give you poor reception". These statements are debatable but generally considered true, since each network operates on slightly different parameters and they might not have the correct programming for a model of phone they don't actually sell. "Also, your Q will not work with T-Mobile or Cingular because their networks are GSM.

If you really need to here youare... Here is the easy steps: 1. Download and install Device Security Manager Powertoy for Windows Mobile 5.0 from Microsoft. This is a nifty utility to show what security policy is in effect.

If you connect your Q to your PC, you'll see two tier security policy is in effect. 2. Download and copy secpolicies.

Cab to your Q (using ActiveSync, Total Commander, or just browse this site via Pocket Internet Explorer). I got this from Telus support, after following a post on qusers.com. 3.

Run and install it. This allows you to install third party SSL Root Certs. 4.

If you run Device Security Manager Powertoy for Windows Mobile 5.0 now (it is listed in Start - Programs as "Security Configuration Manager", you'll see now you are using One Tier Prompt. Select Security Off and click Provision. It will install tool.

Cab to your device and then provision the settings. If you want to do it the hard way, you can also change registry keys: hkey_local_machine\security\policies\policies'> "0000101b"=dword:00000001 "00001017"=dword:00000090 "00001007"=dword:00000040 "00001005"=dword:00000028 "00001001"=dword:00000001 to the same effect. Interestingly, on many forums, value for 1017 is set as 090 (hex, originally 080), where as the above tool sets it to 10.

Also 1005 is set to DE, where many articles I read sets it to 28. The rest is the same. But right after step 3, I was able to manually edit these keys via Resco Regedit or PHM Regedit (HTC Signed copy) Yippie, no more restrictions... Sources: http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=157 .

I had a password on my cell phone I forgot it so how do I unlock my Nokia x2.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
