Question
Hi,
I  have purchased on Bell canada phone sanyo scp 7050 push to talk but it apparentely has a negative balance and i need it to operate on the bell network because of push to talk will a lock code help me release this phone or is it permanatly locked by bell for being negative.  

Answer
No, a lock code will not allow you to use Push to Talk, so please don't waste your money. You can only use Push to Talk with the carrier who branded the phone. No other way around it, I'm afraid. If your carrier is not Bell Canada, you cannot use the phone for Push to Talk. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
