Re: Unlocking mobiles (untested)

;D
I had an Orange mobile which I 'paid' Orange to unlock (I say 'paid' as they never charged me in the end). I asked them to do this as my mother-in-law lives in an Orange dead zone, and I needed an alternative sim. (no jokes about mother-in-laws...) Just recently, I upgraded my telephone, and yes you guessed it, the phone is again locked. When I rang in to confirm that I had taken delivery of the phone, I asked the Orange representative if I had to pay again to unlock the new phone. He said yes, but recommended there were plenty of people out there who could do it for £10. I searched the Web and found http://www.unlockme.co.uk/dct4free.html for my Nokia phone. It worked fine. Most of the people who charge £10, are using this or similar software. Thank you ORANGE for saving me £10 at least....

Hi All,

As a member of another forum that is generally directed to mobile phone users retailers etc, you might like to try this little program (link Below) it is the easiest Nokia DCT4 unlocker I have used, and there is a document file that explains exactly how to use it. Some DCT4 unlockers only work on Win98 or 98SE This one works on all Windows O\S's

I must be well thick as i followed the instructions but all i get is, this file is too large for norepad would you like to use wordpad instead. If I right click it doesn't come up with 'save target as' just the usual delete, rename etc, does this mean I haven't got winzip and I need that do you think? cheers

Hi Criple,

Sounds like you don't have any unpacking (uncompression tools) programs on your pc try https://www.winzip.com, download and install it you can use it unregistered you just put up with the nag screen. Once installed when you double click the zip file winzip will open the archive for you, select edit\select all and extract all the files to a directory on your pc. then you can run the program.

here are a few links for people looking for tools\cables\software to unlock your phones, and it is not illegal to unlock a phone however it is now illegal to unblock a restricted\stolen or reported lost phone.

i,

All three Nokia phones I have owned have been unlocked - i.e. I have been able to pop in other sim cards and use them without any problem. I recently got a free upgrade on T Mobile and gave the phoen to my wife who has an O2 pay as you go sim card which she is now happily using. So before you try to unlock - just try another sim card it may work.

please could you send an e-mail to me on how to unlock my mobile phone

As of yet the FREE unlocking is only available for the Nokias. Older phones ie 3310,8210,3330,5510.... need a cable and (free) program to unlock it (which is simple to use). Here are the instructions needed to unlock the phones with via codes.

To find out the unlock code its very simple when you know how. First you need
the IMEI, network code and phone model.

To find your imei type *#06# in to your handset.
Network code is the network the phone was locked to, ie orange uk, vodaphone uk, etc ....
then the phone model (they all are considered type 2 except for 7650 and 3650 look at the program for more info)

Type in the Imei

select the network code (or type it in if you know it already)

Calculate!!

You will then recieve a list of 7, 15 digit codes. It will look like this:

#pw+852471670066473+1#
#pw+783170102173573+2#
#pw+189234006714231+3#
#pw+797870310510572+4#
#pw+895831117360732+5#
#pw+948332463665631+6#
#pw+787430007566133+7#

For different networks they lock different locks. Each code also unlocks different locks.
You need to type your code into your handset as follows

You should always try code 7 then 5 and 1.

So you would type
#pw+705550724347656+7# - code 7, or other codes

so to all three codes.

remember you only have five tries, after that you have a problem, if it says not accepted dont
try the same number again.

To get the 'p' push your '*' key 3 times, the 'w' is the '*' pushed 4 times.

When the lock has been removed it will say "SIM restriction off" or something similar.
