nec e313 mobile phone...am I stuck?

trinidoug

Hi,
I have tried a search but not gotten any hits for this phone.

I have bought an NEC E313 phone off ebay but i can't get it to work off my T mobile sim card as it is a 3 network mobile phone.

Any way of unlocking it so that it can work?

thanks in advance.

you can go to any stall that unblocks phones and they can do it for you i think for about £15

does the phone freeze or does it say insert correct usim? when the t-mobile sim is in.

It will do that because it is locked.

However, I did this with the NEC E616v for my dad as a christmas gift, so he could use it on O2 - it can make and receive calls & text, but you cannot use mms, gprs or any 3g service without the 3 sim card, as the phones were only ever rleaseed on the 3 network, so there is no way of altering the access point / gprs settings etc etc.

hi,

i have unlocked/repaired 1000's of nec phones. the reason i asked the question is because most 3g NEC phones will not work with newer t-mobile sims and older orange sims because the sim voltage is different.

if it freezes its the the sim card, if it says enter correct usim it is locked.

Please could you help me unlock my Nec e313 phone on the 3 network. I have read your previous post, and can confirm that mine is locked.
I would be very grateful for any help.
Thank you
