    I am trying to get into my voicemail on my Samsung Glint u350 from alltel. My boyfriend said he hasn’t changed the code on it but I have entered every number I can think of and it will not work. And he also took me off the account so I am unable to access any information. Can you Please help me unlock my voicemail security code?

  20. admin says:

    Hi Amy, I am not sure how to get past the voice mail security code. Most of the phone unlocking guides we offer are to remove SIM locks, so you can use your cell phone with any phone carrier you want. All I can say is good luck and I wish I could help you more.

  23. Derek says:

    Hi mo59, we have an unlocking guide for the Apple iPhone 4, but this should work with most GSM or SIM based iPhones if you have one. If you have a CDMA version this will not work. Good luck!
