I have got my son a sony w850i but it is blocked how can i unblock it?

Answers:

Is it asking for a PUK code?? If it is then you need to phone the service provider for the code. Dont try and guess it because eventually it fries the Sim card. But if its saying blocked already sounds like you%26#39;ve already fried it and you%26#39;ll need to get a new sim. Should state that in your user manual. Pop down to your local market tomorrow .. there is bound to be someone there who does it .. in Glasgow its ￡10 to have your phone unlocked.

Sorry - I mis-read the Q- the lady above is correct...I thought you wanted your phone un-locked - not un-blocked.. return it duhh YOU HAVE BOUGHT A STOLEN PHONE SIMPLE Did you buy this brand new from a shop? If so, it may be blocked and asking for a PUK code. You need to phone the service provider and they will give you the code to unblock it.

If you bought this second hand, it could be blocked, as the owner before has had it blocked as it could have been stolen. Or, it%26#39;s been a contract and has been blocked by the service providers due to unpaid bills, and the pay as you go has been put in to sell it.

I hope it%26#39;s the first one, as that is a brill phone, and once you get it sorted, your son will enjoy it.

Don%26#39;t think I%26#39;m being rude asking if you bought it second hand, it%26#39;s just that 4 months ago I paid ￡100 for the same phone from someone I trusted, only to get 2 days out of it. I took it to my local phone shop, and they checked it for me, only to tell me it was a stolen phone, and there was nothing they could do to unblock it. I was gutted. depend on what service your on.

call up your sim provider or call sony.

they will give you a PUK code to unlock your new phone. It could be one or all of 3 things.

1.The the phone just needs a PUK code.Put the original sim and ring orange customer service for the code.

2.Your orange sim is out of date, try another orange sim card, rather than buy one borrow a mates that works and see what happens.Dont do anything that will block their sim.

3.If your phone was bought from a person rather than a retailer there is a possiability that its dodgy and you have lost your money.

Good luck.
