was his sim on a monthly contract with t mobile, and is yours pay as you talk as it will probs be locked to only contract t mobile sims. if thats the case simply unlock it with the program posed above.

if its barred from the network, regardless of the sim, then its a good door stop... nothing more!

if you put other sim cards in & it works, then its good!

try hard-resetting it (press & hold the power button while pressing the reset button) incase its just a phone pin & nothing to do with the network
