New Sim No Signal

correaj

Before coming down here to Argentina, I asked T-Mobile for the unlock code and they gladly gave it to me by email. All I'd have to do is put the new sim card in the phone and it would prompt me to enter the unlock code. Well, I put the damn card in and there was no prompt and suddenly the signal cancels out. I tried to insert the T-Mobile card back in to call them and suddenly it cancels THAT signal. Tech support tells me that this happens when you enter the wrong unlock code more than two or three times, thing is.... I NEVER ENTERED IT ONCE, IT NEVER PROMPTED ME. Now I can't use it with the local GSM network here in Argentina (Claro). I tried to perform a hard reset but these bastards somehow disable the signal hardware when you try it too many times or in my case when you just enter a new sim card. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to reactivate the antenna so that I can try this thing again? Has anyone had this issue where these bastards from T-Mobile/Samsung have screwed you out of using your phone in any form? Please let me know.

Regards,

John
