Treo 750v: Unlocked

Everyone knows that Vodafone has an exclusive on the Treo 750, right? Well, if you can't wait and want to use your Treo 750v on Cingular (or the UMTS carrier of your choice), click on to see what we did. But before we get to that, we should also mention that we have BlackBerry Connect on the Treo 750, and yes folks, it does work. It works flawlessly! Click on for more pics!

To deter us gadget freaks lovers from buying the device and using it with another carrier, Vodafone told us it would take 2-3 weeks to unlock the device (beyond the 14 day trial period). To get around that we went hunting for someone to unlock the phone, someplace that'd do it on the spot with no waiting for a code. Well, we hit up http://www.imei-check.co.uk/, no madness, just run a simple piece of software and your Treo 750 is unlocked! The support is great, we emailed them less than 4 hours ago and they put together an unlocker in no time.




Yup, we got it working on Cingular! No HSDPA, but UMTS is tight.

any difference between this one and the one cingular will have? will cingular's get UMTS and HSDPA? am i allowed to say CINGULAR here?

"No HSDPA, but UMTS is tight". Does that mean that you do not have HSDPA where you're located or it doesn't work?

Does the BB Connect client come pre-loaded or do you need to download it from Vodafone?

Must resist urge, must wait....

Will it work with a T-Mobilw SIM?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 13th 2006 3:00PM]

If it works on Cingy's network it will work on TMobile! I've got a 650 from Cing and have T now...........but this is pretty awesome news! I just wonder if the Cingular version will have HSDPA?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 13th 2006 5:47PM]

So if I get this and go through tmobile do I just take it in to them?

Just unlocked mine using

Anyone know of a free solution >

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 14th 2006 11:25AM]

hey so once I unlock it, lets say I want to use it on T-Mobile, do I just take it in to them and tell them I was to use this phone?

The Cingular version will be firmware upgradeable to HSDPA when launched. The firmware update will probably be rolled out late Q1/Q2 from what I heard.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 14th 2006 11:06PM]

You don't even have to do that, just put your SIM card in and it'll work on the network

I assume if I have a Vodapone unlocked 750v and wanted to update to the latest Cingular HSDPA firmware update, i can?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 16th 2006 9:11AM]

Does anyone know where else to get it besides ebay?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 24th 2006 8:17PM]

Dumb question for you....How do you unlock the pearl to use on Cingular? I want to get one however want it to work as though it was a cingular product.?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 24th 2006 7:52AM]

I unlocked my phone here
http://www.cellcorner.com/xshp/unlock-phone-codes/remote-unlock-by-cable-for-palmone-treo750.html

This site also mentions treo 750c and treo 750t. I thought these phones are not available from tmobile and cingular yet.
Anybody?

Well, I did it!! Got on eBay a week ago, found someone who who was selling an unopened Vodafone Treo 750v...and I put in my bid. Ended up winning it and had it shipped to me here in the States. Got it this morning, followed your link to get the thing unlocked and...joy of joys...the thing works!!! I can't believe it!! It's gorgeous...and fast!! Faster than my old Treo 650 was in terms of pulling down web sites, email, documents - EVERYTHING! Put in my Cingular sim and it connected without an errors. I'm in love!! Am wondering just WHEN Cingular/Palm is going to market this baby here. Oh well...got tired of waiting...my Treo750v works here in the US - NOW :)

Ok, but will the Cingular version come with disabled Bluetooth? There is a $30/month difference between unlimited 'MEdia for the phone,' and unlimited 'MEdia for use on a PC' (not that the network can tell the difference)

Cingular, I swear if you do this, that I will not renew my contract with you!
