I NEED HELP!, Regarding A Cell Phone Options

[D-Man]

okay, so i'm kina a techno-nerd. I saved my @ss off for a Motorola A1200, and have had it for a few years.

Well; My wife goes thru phones like toilet paper, and she just busted up her Razr phone... She has Att and i have T-Moble.

A family member loaned us on of their old T-Mo Phones, a Moto V188 for my wife, but It's a locked phone. I've never had a locked phone from the time i opened my contract with T-Mobile.

So the only way for both of us to have phones, I have to give her my bad Azz moto A1200 (THAT SHE'LL BREAK IN A FEW WEEKS), and I have take that peice of Schett V188.

It's been 2 years sience i had a phone with buttons, and i dont know how to use em anymore...

For those of you that arnt familiar with a A1200 it looks like this (but mine is black not red)



So i'm not quite sure how to do anything on this V188, infact, i HATE V serise phones... I dont like the software, i dont like the interface, i dont like the menus, I DONT LIKE THE BUTTONS!

I HATE buttons...

Does anyone know the Unlock code or Subsidy Code for a Motorola V188?

Please help! PLEASE!!

I don't know if it's passed yet, but there's a bill in Congress that basically makes phones NON proprietary - meaning, you can use whatever brand of phone on whatever network you want, provided the technology is compatible (for example, I can't get an iPhone cause it's GPRS or whatever it's called, and I'm on Verizon which uses CDMA technology).

Definitely call T-Mobile, I don't think you even have to lie about anything, just tell them your situation and see if they'll help you. I'd definitely go that route before trying to hack anything. It's amazing how accommodating people are willing to be when you're honest and just say please.

Yeah hongkongerboy is right...

Unfortuenetly, i just relized that when he worked at pizza hut; He won the National Health Code Violation Award... Witch makes me happy to take his advice and trust him. He's won a National Award after all.

Pizza anyone

but really!!

It's a v188 so im not sure if it has any other bands (i cant check here at work) so i'll find out what country is compatable with when i get home. and try t-mobile.

Also; i posted up on howards fourms, i'll see what kind of fruit that bears when i get home. As for the unlock-a-phone.com or whatever, thanks for the advice, but they want 25 bucks and want me to mail it in... I need the phone NOW! lol.
