Infamous 'Hidden Menu'

That access code didn't work for me. Do you have another one? (no go on the 000000)

you need a otksl or msl.

one time subsidy lock

master subsidy lock

they are needed to change programming of the phone. You can sometime get them from calling customer care. they often only give otksl as they can be used only one time. MSL will work every time.

Not sure what the IP address under the GPS setting would allow you to do though?

My 'Q'uestion to anyone out there who's done this is: Is it of any benefit to a 'Qser' to even attempt to revise any of these settings, would such a revision make the 'Q Experience' any more fun, or would the device merely disintegrate in my hands?

Thanks, as always

Wow this is a dumb question, but where do I type this in at. If I do it from my home screen nothing happens (looks like I am calling a number). Do I hit the talk button or something after typing the code????

Ok it worked... kind of (I must have entered it wrong the first time), except for the access code, anybody know one for sprint?

you can leave the access code blank. Most sales people in the store dont program the phone this way, a there is a much better way. Verizon uses the *228 or whatever it is, and for sprint u simply enter ##lockcode# and hit talk.

Leaving the access code blank didn't work for me... And I am not sure how to find out the lock code.
