"Phone restricted" msg on my Nokia 8310

I have recently turned on my Nokia 8310 to use; only to be welcomed with a my message saying "Phone restricted". It asked me for the code which I dont know.

Would it be possible for it to be fixed. If so how?? :confused:



Thanks

    The wife was using her old 6610i for a while there & it did the same. I just unplugged the battery, plugged it back in & all was well.

    Have you put a different network's SIM in your phone? If so, your phone may be locked to only accept SIM cards of a particular network. It just needs unlocking by entering a code if this is the case.
