    In case it hasn’t been mentioned above, http://www.trycktill.com/eng/
    is another free unlocking website.

    I’ve used this site to unlock 3 Nokia mobiles [different models].
    All unlocked at first attempt.

    Easy to follow instructions but as with all unlocking you must enter information onto their site and into your phone precisely.

    Is there anyone out there who can offer sound advice regarding the unlocking of two Nokia phones that i've been given please? They are models 6110 and 6310. I've just one Vodaphone Pay as You Go SIM card, which works fine in both. I want to use a BT CELLNET "U"/02 PAYG SIM Card.
    1. Unlock codes from the "Trykill" website were first entered into the 6110 - the phone displayed "SIM was not restricted". However, the U/O2 SIM card still won't work in the phone. Any ideas?
    2. I also carried out a similar process on the 6310 - the internet site offered seven possible unlock codes; I tried code 7 then code 1 without success (using the U/02 SIM card still won't work - "NO NETWORK CONNECTION"). I've noticed that the Trykill site offers the opportunity to enter a "BOXSERIAL" number also; some other sites ask for a "GEN" number. Any ideas on this please? Many thanks.

    Polybear.

    I unlocked the following Nokia mobiles first time without a problem:

    3510i
    6310i
    7250i

    They were originally all locked to the Orange network.

    I can't help you with your problem as I'm only a novice mobile unlocker myself. Are you certain that you entered the correct info onto the "Trycktill" website and the correct code into your mobile?

  • Hi,
    I notice that all of the unlocking appears to be standard mobile phones. Is there a program that can unlock XDA's?
    :confused:

    I'm looking to unlock 2 phones:
    Sony K500i
    Motorola E550.

    Anyone know of the cheapest (ideally free) way to unlock these.

    Most sites are charging a wapping £25 for the E550 !


    thanks in advance

    Once you have spent £30 on call credit, Tesco will give you the code to unlock it. Contact their cs.
