Unlock Code Instructions For Palm Pre, Treo, Centro, and Pixi Cell Phones for All Networks 


To unlock your Palm phone today, start by selecting your phone model on the Palm Unlocking Pages. In this guide I will show you how to unlock Palm cell phones and enter unlock codes into your phone so that it will be unlocked from your current network carrier such as Orange, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc. First you need an unlock code of course. If you don't have one yet, you can get from the Palm Unlock site. In case you have a Palm Pre or Palm Pixi, you will be using unlock software that will read the code from the phone so that you can enter it. Once the software shows it,  just enter the code and you'll have an unlocked Palm cell phone! Unlocking by entering a code on your phone's keypad is called "unlock by imei". Indeed, it is the most convenient way to unlock your cell phone.
