Unlock the Sprint Pocket PC to use other networks.
Unlocking a Sprint Pocket PC phone is not difficult, but it takes some time and money. Unlocking a phone involves switching network providers, and the switch requires information from the original provider---in this case, Sprint---that the company might charge for. This information is the IMEI code identifying the particular Pocket PC. You'll also need a SIM card from the new provider to replace the original from Sprint.
Instructions
1. Contact Sprint customer service using the Support tab on Sprint's website to request the Pocket PC's IMEI code, which will allow the phone to work with other providers. Depending on the amount of time Sprint has been the Pocket PC's provider, Sprint may or may not charge for this information. The IMEI code should arrive by mail within a few days.
2. Remove Sprint's SIM card from the Pocket PC. The SIM card is found in a slot near the battery in the back of the phone. Remove the protective battery case from the Pocket PC to find it. Insert the SIM card from the new provider.
3. Restart the Pocket PC. The phone will detect the new SIM card and ask for the IMEI code. Enter the IMEI code using the phone's dial pad. The Pocket PC is now authorized to work with the new network.
