 Kankraka's Guide to Programming a Samsung SPH A540 Tri-Mode PCS Phone!

Follow these turbo easy steps to program your Samsung A540 phone, I mean,
jebus, how hard can it be? Ahh yes, I forgot who I'm talking to, so I'll
bust a lil disclaimer action to protect my ass!

***************************************************************************
If you are incompetent, or otherwise unable to follow simple instructions,
don't start messing with your phone. I'm not gonna be held responsible
cause your dumb ass fucked up and rendered your phone useless. ALWAYS
WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU CHANGE IT! That is the key to preventing
you from totally shooting yourself in the foot in this case. Trying to
"hijack" someone's phone number is both illegal, and pointless. The number
is bound to an ESN on the network, so the only way to get their number, is
to steal there phone. Which I also suggest you do not do. There, now that's
cleared up, down to business!
***************************************************************************


1. Press the PWR key to turn on the phone, yes, you WILL need the phone ON
for this *laughs.* Anyways, make sure it's fully charged, I doubt the battery
dying can do anything good when you are playing with your NAM.


2. Press MENU, 9,1,0 "Enter Lock ??????" appears on the screen


3. Enter the six-digit First Subsidy Lock Code, 858091. "Svc Menu, 1: Basic"
appears on the screen. You're now able to program your phone for a different
network.


4. Press 1 to enter Phone Number programming. "Service Mode NAM 1 CDMA" appears


5. Enter the 10-digit PCS phone number, followed by OK "NAM1 Home SID" appears.
Press OK to continue. Telus' SID is 16422, NID 65535. The phone was made for
Telus, so should automatically have that set. That information I guess is only
useful for those trying to get a different phone to work on the Telus Mobility
Network. The unit will then return to the Service menu. "Svc Menu, 1: Basic"
appears on the screen.


6. Press the END key to complete the programming. The handset will reset and
the new NAM will be in effect.


There are other options to play around with, Phone Number, General, NAM, and
A-Key. My phone lacks an A-Key, perhaps this is why my wireless web ceases to
function...

To enter Field Service, press MENU, 9, 0. Unfortunately, I don't know the lock
code for that.

Well, there ya have it, hope this becomes beneficial to someone out there, happy
"hacking!"
