hi got a samsung galaxy s of a friend it has a superchip 3.5 g simcard in it and on vodaphone when i try to call it says calls are restricted when i put another simcard in it says enter network lock control key i took it and got it unlocked but it keeps saying the same with other simcards is their anyway of sorting it thanks

Sounds like it may be blacklisted...

[happy_highlander]

As jim says but also possibly messed up imei caused by someone trying to unlock it previous to your attempt. Does your imei start with zeros

no it does not start with 0

[happy_highlander]

It is sounding like jim is correct then. It will work abroad as imei blacklist is in uk only

[john2k5]

definitely blacklisted, sell it on ebay outside the uk, will work fine there

THE ONLY TIME A SAMSUNG WILL ASK FOR A NETWORK KEY IS WHEN ITS LOCKED, IF ITS BEEN UNLOCKED VIA NETWORK KEY AND YOU HAVE THIS KEY STILL. TAKE THE SUPER CHIP OUT RESET THE PHONE TO FULL FACTORY AND PUT AN ACTIVATED SIM A NORMAL ONE WITHOUT THE SUPER CHIP WITH IT. IF IT ASKS FOR THE NETWORK KEY INSERT THE CODE IT WILL SAY ACCEPTED IF CORRECT CODE OR ASK FOR FREEZE IF TOO MANY TIMES.

A LOT OF PHONES CAN GET MESSED IF A DODGY SIM IS IN WHEN USING CODE.

THE PHONE MAY ALSO BE REJECTING CALLS DUE TO THE SUPER CHIP THATS WHY I SAID RESET FIRMWARE AND AS YOU SAID YOU HAD THE CODE ITS JUST SIMPLY EASIER TO TEST WITH ANOTHER SIM THATS WORKING AS THE VODA SIM MIGHT BE CORRUPTED......................................... ...........

STILL NO CALLS THEN SIMPLY CALL ANY NETWORK AND TELL THEM YOU BOUGHT PHONE ITS NOT CALLING OUT THEY WILL CHECK THE IMEI

hi i do not have a code for it i took it to a shop to get it unlocked went back got it and the guy said it was uncked but it still asks for the unlock code should i have got a code of him when he unlocked it thanks

You would only get a code if the shop read the phones codes rather than use the direct unlock solution.

Give Voda a call so they can check the IMEI, then take it back to the shop if Voda says the IMEI is OK.

You can get Samsung unlock codes from ebay. Usually around ?7
