    Help with w580i!

    I bought this w580i from ebay. and it's got a lock code in it. And none of the seller or att customer can help give me the unlock code to make it works. i did do that left and * 2 times and left again. and i see a "network, network sub..." i did tried the code att gave me for more than 5 times aready and it's still got lock code on it.
    i'm wondering is there a software or something i can do to unlock my phone?

    Of cuz w580i can be unlocked by your provider, and you don't need to change the firmware.

    Since you already have the unlock code, simply follow the steps below to unlock it:

    1. For the unlocking of a locked Sony Ericsson no sim card is required.
    2. Turn on the handset. Display will indicate “Insert SIM.”
    3. Press the left Arrow (<) button.
    4. Press the star (*) button twice.
    5. Press the left Arrow (<) button again.
    6. You will briefly see one of the following messages listed on devices display: “Personalized with MNC2” or “Personalized with MNC3”.
    7. Wait approximately three seconds.
    8. The display will indicate “Network” and a picture of a closed lock.
    9. Press Select.
    10. The display will indicate “Unlock (Net) 5” and “NCK:”
    11. Enter the 16 digit NLCK4U code (unlock code we provided you) and press okay.
    12. The handset will display “Network unlocked” and the display “Insert SIM” appears.
    13. The handset is successfully unlocked.

    If AT&T is your provider, you can simply call them and request the unlock codes.

    It depends on your mobile provider. This service is free for US AT&T customers.
