Is there a way to re-lock a phone.
Posts: n/a currently use Cingular as I get a great discount thru my work. The Phone was originally used on ATT but was unlocked and when I switched it over to my service it was ok but I started noticing that I would drop a call just by moving and friend started saying they had tried to call me and would get messages saying that there is no service at this number. Any help would be greatly appreciated  Responses to "Is there a way to re-lock a phone."

They said it was because the phone is unlocked.It hops from signal to signal where as if it were locked it would stay on cingular or their other allowed carrier if roaming.

I think you should expand upon it to help the OP out.

Any help would be > greatly appreciated > > your problem is the MPX200 is only a dual band phone.. 1800/1900 cingular uses 850/1900 so since your phone is only 1800/1900 your not going to get the best reception. when your phone is low on signal calls will get dropped and go straight to vm. it has nothing to do with being locked or unlocked.
