It takes a lot of patience; however pursue an AT&T telephone number that is manned by a live person; then follow a trail of phone numbers until one of them connects with a helpfull live person who is familiar with the problem and who then furnishes a very simple solution.

You will need to find a local cell phone dealer who will unlock it for you. Try searching for used cell phone dealers. I had the same problem with the AT&T scoundrels. The dealer near me charged me 20.00 and threw in a car chrger too.

I think it will be easier for you to read their directions than for me to try to explain this.

I hate to beg, but so many people don't rate solutions. We don't get paid for this we just like trying to help. If you found this information helpful I hope you'll take a moment to rate this solution.
