 In the last decade, mobile phones have stopped being juts a
device for voice calls but have become a gadget for data communications. First,
there was SMS or Short Message Service, a service that allowed people to send
alphanumeric messages to mobile phones using the GSM network. Now the mobile
phones have been packed with so many features including full keyboards,
multi-media support capacity, internet connectivity and other mobile
applications.
Palm Inc. was among the first to introduce Smart phones with
emailing and internet connectivity and full keyboards that made it easy to use
the mobile phone as an extension of one’s office. Today, the Treo Smart Phones
from Palm Inc. are among the top choices of business executives and other
professionals because of the mobile applications that allow people to use their
phones for a variety of purposes. All
high technology features of the Treo Smart phones would be for naught if it
weren’t for its ease of use. The latest
Treo Smart Phones with Windows OS are even more easy to use than the first
Smart phones introduced years ago. The
Windows OS also allow the Treo Smart phones to handle Windows documents better
allowing you to work seamlessly between your PC and your mobile phone. Both the
Windows OS and the Palm OS also make the Treo phones among the fastest mobiles
in the market, allowing for a great computing experience and a seamless
internet connection. One of the most
popular PDA phones from Treo is the Treo 650.
If you bought a Treo 650 Smartphone locked to a specific GSM
provider and you prefer to use with another service provider, then there is a
way to unlock your mobile phone. You can even do it remotely without the need
to ship your mobile phone to the unlocking company. There are remote unlock codes that you can
get from websites and you can just use the code to unlock the phone at home.
The first step you should do is to sync all your data with
your PC. The phone comes with a hot sync cable for this purpose. This is important
because you might delete some information from your phone without meaning to.
This will save you the hassles of losing any important data.
After you have complete backed-up your data, you can already
start unlocking your phone. Insert a SIM from a different service provider in
your mobile phone. When you turn the
Treo 650 on, a message saying ‘SIM NOT ALLOWED’ will be displayed on the
phone’s screen. Just click OK and use the stylus to enter the code that was provided
to you by the ‘unlocking company’. To enter the code press * # * # (CODE
provided by the unlocking company) #. After you have entered the code, the
message ‘SIM LOCK REMOVED’ should appear on your screen. You are now free to
use any SIM from other service providers and even use foreign pre-paid cards on
your phone when you travel to other countries.
There are also unlocking processes that include the use of
software. Usually, you will be provided by a step-by-step guide on how to
unlock your phone when you acquire an unlocking code. The whole process should
take less than 5 minutes.
