OK, I know us Yanks aren't the brightest when it comes to phones, but someone out there has to know the answer to this question. I've been to half a dozen "hack shops" on the east coast and no one, I mean NO ONE has any idea what to do with a Nokia 7160. They can't flash it, upgrade it, program it, nothing. I know more than most of these people and the only trick I've got is the *3001... Here's what I need:
The 7160 I've got came from Cingular. They suck so I left and I'm moving to AT&T. Because no one on the friggin east coast uses GSM except the prepaid SP's, I've gotta use TDMA and the 7160 is a shining example of what a TDMA phone should be. Only problem is, AT&T swears that they can't activate this phone because it was manufactured for Cingular (i.e. all the Cingular chanels are programmed into it, which aren't compatible with AT&T) which I know is bullsheit. None of the Nokia service centers around here know anything about how to change this, and I can't even find a cable for this thing that works. ARGH!!!
All I want to do is remove the SP lock on the phone and make it work with AT&T's network so I can use the phone with their service. I know it can be done but there is zero info out there on the 7160. I don't care what I have to do, I just need to make this thing work. Everyone I talk to says you guys are the best when it comes to Nokia, so there it is. Somebody please, proove I'm not SOL.
