Hi Jennifer I once had the same thing happen to me.
Now I know each cell network is different, and my situation might not apply, but I'll mention it in case it helps. My SIM has a pass code, and after entering it incorrectly three times, the phone was blocked and gave the error you described. To fix it, I had to switch off the phone, turn it on, enter the PUK number I received from my network, enter my PIN (pass code), and I was ready to go again. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Jenifer Gilley To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2012 11:47 PM Subject: Re: For emergency purposes only error?

All of a sudden they started getting a message when trying to unlock the phone that says "for emergency calls only." They have used the phone successfully before. Any suggestions?
