Anyone know if this phone is unlockable?
« on: May 30, 2009, 08:45:41 AM »
Well my sister lost this phone a while ago and soon got a replacement. About a week later she found it and gave it to me. Alltel said they would lock it, but there's no indication that it's been locked or anything else done to it. So I guess I'm wondering if I can sell this phone or should I try to unlock it first? And since I have no clue on how to unlock it, anyone have any ideas? (It's an LG Glimmer.)

i would test it first but it is likely that they have locked to phone out of the network as certainly in the UK all the carriers run a blackbook system where if a phone is lost or stolen and you report it to them they will lock it and black list it meaning it wont be able to make calls on any network in that country - as far as i know the system hasnt been moved worldwide so selling it in another country might work.

FYI i am working of knowledge i picked up about 4 or 5 years ago when i had several phones stolen from me

Just have your sis tell them she found her phone and unlock it.

Don't spam. I just said that, and you quoted me as well.
