- if the current code for your country is not 33.6 then you have
- the following options:
-
- 1) wait till the phone company in your country legally approves
- 33.6
-
- 2) call either usr's ftp site or thier european bbs (the european bbs
- i heard has more recent versions then usr in the states)
-
- 3) ftp sdlpalla (from ftp.usr.com/dl05), this is a 33.6
- "test/unsupported" international flash code that will work with any
- courier except french ones
-
- 4) obtain the american sdl code and hack it to flash your foreign
- code (it will probably not recoenize your busy/dial tones so
- you will hafto use x0 or x3 with this setup)
