To unlock a Metro Samsung Freeform cell phone the following steps can be taken.
• Code keying
The code to unlock most Metro Samsung phones is normally one of two codes. This can be entered by following these steps: Turn the phone on, enter this text exactly: #UNLOCKED#, Enter the code; this will either be 587846 or 000000. The phone should now be unlocked. If the phone is still locked there are a number of other options available to people.
• Take the phone to a cell phone shop
Many cell phone repairers will unlock most phones for a small fee, this is normally done when people decide that they want to change their network provider, and the phone will not work with different providers' SIM cards.
• Contact customer services
The final way to unlock the cell phone is to contact Samsung customer services. They can be contacted by dialing 1-888-987-4357, from Monday to Friday between 7am and 9pm, and on Saturdays between 9am and 6pm.
Before contacting the customer services, the customer should make a note of the IMEI number of the phone. This can be found under the battery of the phone, or by dialing *#06#. The IMEI number will be displayed on the screen of the phone. When calling the IMEI number will be asked for, and the customer service representative will ask a number of security questions to ensure that the person calling is the owner of the phone.
They will be able to unlock the phone once they have all this information.
