Hi
I have just moved my PAYG sim card from one nokia to another. However I dont seem to be able to make or recieve calls - I get a message saying 'no network coverage' and when I called my mobile it said the mobile I was calling was switched off. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I really don't know if the new phone is locked or not as it is one that was kicking around at my hubbys work. If it is locked would this be the reason why I am getting this message? and if that is the case what can I do to unlock it (its a nokia 7650)
Help would really be appreciated I can't be without a mobile - kids and all that !!
Thanks

    It seems as though the 'new' mobile is locked to other networks only.

    Click on this thread to find out whether you can unlock the Nokia yourself:-

    I just done a quick search on web. Type in "nokia 7650 unlock code free". Lots of free places that give codes (too many to link here)

    Thanks to both of you for your advice - my phone is now unlocked and working - you gave me the info and courage to do something which I would not normaly have attempted, my husband is very impressed.
    THANKS

    Mention not :)

    Same with me - if it wasnt for MSE, I would never have dreamed of unlocking our phones. Gets me in my hubby's good books!
