Free Unlock Codes For Nokia phones 3 (for U.K. Networks only)

Browntoa

We are starting a new thread as the old one was getting a bit long to read.

There are sites where you can do this for free online if you are happy to do it that way

http://unlock.nokiafree.org/

http://www.trycktill.com/eng/unlock_swe.asp ( just click on the English flag
to get the site in english )

download a free standalone software version, you pick the model of phone and it sets it up for you .( beware though, there are some models with multiple settings now that this calc cannot cope with)

there is a newer version just released (28/12/05) which is available here

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE NOKIA 6630,6680,7710,9500,9300,6620,N70,N90, 6270,6280,6281,7370 the only way to get it unlocked is to pay the Network ! . Any site that claims to unlock these is lying !! . The only equipment available at this time repairs the software on the phone, it cannot unlock it ( info still correct 12/05/06 ). 3 will now unlock your phone for £15 if you are in the LAST month of your contract with them.


Your IMEI number is obtained by entering *#06# into the phone

You need to enter the Network that the phone is locked to not the one you wish to use.

As a rule the code ending in +7# is the one to use in the U.K. if that one does not work then try the one ending +1#

You only get 5 attempts to unlock by code so if you get stuck please ask for help !! (it's not the end of the world if you use up your 5 tries, the phone will still work and can be unlocked by a shop/market or boot stallholder with the correct equipment for about £10)

if you feel unsure about getting the correct code then please feel free to send a private message to either myself or user Drahcir (just click on our names on the left of our posts to get the drop down menu with that option.

Unlock Instructions:

1. Only try the supplied code once

2. Take out the SIM card from the phone.(unless it is a Nokia 6230i, you need to put a sim card from another Network in that one before you enter the code...Drahcir reminds me !!)

3.Type in the generated code in the phone



(E.g) #pw+123456789101112+1#

the phone will then normally reboot itself and come back on at which point it is unlocked. Try with a simcard from another network and it should accept it.

You may be asked for the security code which is 12345 (or sometimes 00000) uless you changed it or "PIN code" if the sim card itself has a security code(normally a 4 digit code supplied with the sim card) .If you enter the wrong Sim PIN 10 times you will be asked for a PUK code which you need to get from the Network.

IF you cannot remember your security code this can be reset by a shop/market or boot stallholder with the correct equipment for about £5 to £10


Further Informational Instruction:

1. To show p in the phones display - just press * three times within two seconds.

2. To show w in the phones display - just press * four times within two seconds.

3. To show + in the phones display - just press * twice within two seconds.

Hi!

I have just bought my OH a Nokia 2600 on Vodafone off ebay. It works fine with my Vodafone PAYG sim, but not his Vodafone contract sim.

Does it need to be unlocked?

The IMEI number is 35623100642 - idiot proof instructions appreciated!

Thanks!

Browntoa

not enough digits in the IMEI, type *#06# into the phone to confirm it

the Voda Contract sim card should work in the phone though

I've just restored the factory settings and will have another try with his sim when he gets back from work before I attempt to unlock it!

Thanks again for all your help!

Sim card invalid was the error message i think. I tried restoring the factory settings and testedboth our sims again last night and mine works fine but the contract sim just isn't having it. Will try to unlock it shortly and see if that works (won't find out until tonight when OH gets back.)
