G1 Unlock code: ********

[endmp25]

Please tell me the ramifications of publicizing the Unlock code for G1.
Because I found it and watch someone use it. So what would happen if I told others what it was?
How would it effect the Android community?
I really don't know if I stumbled upon Gold or got pyrite...
So tell me what is gonna happen? Should I spam it here? in this thread?

pretty sure unlock codes are based off the IMEI of the phone (serial number)... i doubt one unlock code would be universal, because this is the case with pretty much any gsm phone

lol so it's pyrite... right now China.. the country is going hot like a ... ( fill in the blanks) for the G1 people are really buying them on Ebay... I don't plan to sell one... but I don't like seeing people get scammed for some hardware... so I really was hoping it would be the same for everyone... or are you wrong? Pretty sure about your "pretty sure"?

99.9 percent sure, yes

i don't want to sound like i'm patronizing, but if gsm phones had a universal lock code for that specific model and brand, it would be spread like wild fire on the internet and everybody would have an unlocked phone

there is hardware you can buy that basically does this...

plus there are sites for certain manufacturers that have a key-gen if you put in your imei... for a lot of old nokias, this is very easy to find

You get to use any SIM card from any carrier you want, worldwide. (Provided that your phone can handle the frequency that carrier uses)
