    I've followed all the instructions, unzipped the file, got the seven codes, keyed in code seven first (as suggested) my phone displayed 'insert SIM card'
    so I tried code one, same message and then code five, same message. According to the 'unlock me for free' website I should be getting 'phone restriction off' or an error message if I've done it wrong. Has anybody else come across this?

    the 3210 is a dct3 phone, you should only get 2 codes

    yours is a single band phone ...if you need FREE help drop me a private message

    Inside somewhere; probably on a white or silvery label you'll see if you remove the battery, with IMEI number and some barcodes
  • Having read with interest this thread re unlocking mobile phones, I sent mine to Irwebonline for unlocking at the start on January. Due to a problem with the Post Office it was not received there until 19/1, but I still have not received it back. I have tried e mailing - but I get no response and phoning - but it is always engaged. Has anyone else used this service to get a phone unlocked, and got their phone back OK? Also, as I paid in advance on credit card, can I get my money back?

    Help!!!!!!!!!!

    A specialist with the right hardware will be able to do it - maybe someone at a local computer fair.

    I've heard that they are not the most reliable of internet sites.....most unlocking takes about 40 minutes at the most, Royal Mail special delivery takes 1 day ( i won't send a phone any other way)

    just found this thread about them....

    not seen anything that unlocks these yet but 2 sites to keep an eye on are

    www.allgsm.co.uk
    www.aboveconnection.co.uk

    who both sell unlocking/service equipment. If you see it listed on there then someone will be able to do it for you. (neither of them is associated with me !!)
