Hey everyone,
I'm having a problem with my internet connection on my SGS.
It used to lock to T-m*bile, I unlocked it lastweek then use L*bara instead cause got free internet service hehe. somehow, everytime i try to use internet service it says unable to connect to internet/ network unavailable. but I tried the simcard with another phone and its working.
some friends suggest me to re-unlock it. but i donno how to re-unlock it :P
Please Help me to fix it..
thanks b4

Regards.

There's an app you can download from the market that will give you the unlock code for your SGS. Just run it, use the code to unlock it (you can do a quick search here for "unlock vibrant") and see if that works. It's also possible that the carrier you have the data with doesn't support smartphones for data transmission, or at least for the plan you're on. Did you test it in another smartphone or a regular "dumb" phone (flip, etc)?

yeah u were right man, i just called the customer service.. they said the simcard doesnt support samsung galaxy S for internet service. so I can only use it for calling and texting. the only one solution is change the carrier, so i will do it hehe..
thanks anyway..
