I purchased a new Storm 2 from a Verizon subscriber.He indicated that the phone is unlocked however after putting my t-mobile sim card and trying to make a call.I receive the message that the phone cannot be authenticated.Does this mean it is still locked?T-mobile says they cannot unlock the phone.What is the best method for getting the phone unlocked?
View 7 RepliesI've had my 9530 since about September. Today I was snapping a few pics, and the phone just locked up. Did a battery reset, and now it won't do anything! Keeps going from the black screen to a white screen with the little spinning clock and back? WHat happened?! I don't have insurance on the phone, but I don't think its an "insurance" issue as I didn't do anything. Is it still under warranty since I've only had it since Sept?
