Unlock a Phone Lock Code for a Sony Ericsson W350
Originally released in May of 2008, the Sony Ericsson W350 was sold by AT&T Wireless in the United States. The phone was discontinued and is no longer in production. The tri-band Global Systems for Mobile Communications (GSM) cellular telephone features Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel digital camera, a Web browser, messaging and a speakerphone. The Sony Ericsson W350 is also a fully functional MP3 music player. AT&T sold the Sony Ericsson W350 with a carrier lock that prevented using the phone with another cellular service provider's Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. If you would like to use the Sony Ericsson W350 with a non AT&T SIM card, you will need to unlock your cellular telephone.
Instructions
1. Call AT&T wireless at 1-800-331-0500 or dial 611 from your cellular telephone and request the unlock code for your Sony Ericsson W350. AT&T policy is to provide the unlock code free of charge provided you have a current AT&T wireless account that is in good standing. If this is not the case, you can also purchase the unlock code from an online company that resells unlock codes. Provide your IMEI number (located in your battery compartment). Write down the unlock code.
2. Remove the back cover from your Sony Ericsson W350 and carefully lift the battery from the battery compartment. Under the battery, you will find the AT&T Wireless SIM card. Remove the SIM card. Replace the battery and back cover of the Sony Ericsson W350. Power on the cellular telephone.
3. Press the left arrow key on your Sony Ericsson W350 keypad and then press the "*" key two times. Press the left arrow key again. The message "Personalize with MNC2" will appear on the Sony Ericsson W350 display.
4. Enter the unlock code you wrote down in Step #1. Your Sony Ericsson W350 is now unlocked. You can now use your cell phone with any compatible GSM carrier's SIM card.
