How to unlock a Samsung Corby Wifi


My loving wife gave me a Samsung Corby Wifi the other day. It was network locked to Sun Cellular but I want to use it with my Globe account. So, I googled for information on how to unlock it so that it will accept any sim card.

It was not easy finding information about unlocking the Corby. Most of the search results point to paid unlocking services and I'm not willing to shell out my hard earned cash for this simple information. So I pressed on and it took several more result pages before I finally hit the jackpot.  I found what I was looking for from this forum post in Symbianize. I tried it on my Corby and it worked.

Here are the codes for unlocking your Samsung Corby Wifi to accept any sim card:
To check the phone sim lock status 
*#7465625#
To permanently unlock (sim unlock) the phone
#7465625*638*00000000#
Just enter these codes in your phone dialer. It's so simple that I wonder why some people are asking money for this.
