@ylaine – If the phone is from Fido, then you will need to carrier unlock your phone before you can insert and use the SIM card form another carrier. You can purchase the SIM unlock code from anyone of the numerous sites on the net, or you can call fido and ask them to do it.

I have recently posted a new article about how to application unlock ANY Windows Mobile Standard device – including the Propel Pro. Use that process for application unlocking your device. Then you shouldn’t have any issues with editing the registry.

I have an AT&T Samsung Propel Pro i627. When I run the SDA Application unlock it tells me that the phone is not unlockable. When I try to change the registry settings, they don’t take, they just go back to the original values.

Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Mike, that worked like a charm on the Blackjack II. I never thought to look there! My wife will be happy (and that means I will be happy too!)

I can’t seem to find the setting to “automatically detect network settings” on the Tilt though. It’s not in PIE or GPRS settings.

@Rick76 – if the phone and email are working fine on the tilt, then it seems like a bad proxy or network setting. Check the settings in IE Mobile and make sure it’s set to automatically detect network settings.

On the BlackJack II, open IE Mobile and hit Menu / Tools / Options / Connections and be sure to click on the Automatically Detect Network Settings. And change the selected network from WAP to Internet. That should to the trick.

I do recall the ONPPC events – Good Times! Thanks for the kind words on the site!

Thanks for the reply Mike. I did not try these on the Tilt, just to mention I had a similar problem. The phone and email work on the Tilt, just no internet and I purchased it unlocked from a dealer in Montreal so I don’t have the unlock code.

Regarding the Blackjack II, I found your updated post regarding changing the settings in the UAMgr file on the device itself, which seems to have worked to a point. By changing one setting, I can either access email or the internet but not both at the same time. I have outlined my current problem over on HoFo under the title BAAAD WM6.1 in the Windows Mobile Standard section (if you get a chance).

I’m not sure if you recall but we met at a ONPPC meeting in Toronto about 3 years ago. Love your site. Keep up the good work.
