Unlock Nokia 1100 Tracfone?

**leslie7367** · 08-06-2005, 10:55 PM

I found this on their website

" TracFone Wireless is a subsidiary of América Móvil (NYSE: AMX, NASDAQ: AMOV), Latin America's largest mobile phone provider, with more than 61 million wireless subscribers across the continent."

This carrier isn't even listed on the "network" drop down list.

Even when I go to the model drop down list, the 1100 isn't listed there either.

Can anyone help??

Thanks

Leslie

PS What is a GEN?

Well the main problem with Tracfone is that their network code is unknown, because it is like a "ghost" company. It borrows network from Cingular and other providers, but has no propietary code.

Someone used Cingular or AT&T network codes and it eventually worked, but there's no guarantee.

Mr. subway999, someone in another forum managed to unlock with one of those networks codes...

I contacted him, and eventually he managed to do that, so as I said, there's no guarantee but someone has done it before...

An explanation of GEN meaning is on the Unlock DCT4 section, as a sticky, very well explained specially on the fourth post.

A more general explanation is on the first post on that thread.

ok... I didn't say that "I'm able to..." in fact, I'm from Argentina. But just as I and the rest of members trust in your words, we have to trust on other people's words, don't you think so?

So I don't think we're damaging nobody just for saying that "eventually someone managed to unlock a tracfone 1100 using cingular or tmobile network codes, but there's no guarantee of success". I can't know it since I don't have a tracfone handset, and I don't think I will ever have, but as I said before, just as we trust in your wise words, we shall trust on other's words. It's a little fair, isn't it?

It would be great if you can get the network code for tracfone! it's a real problem really... i've seen a lot of people havong problems with this phones... it'd be great if you can find out the network code of tracfone...
