Nokia 6280 Unlocking On 3

marbar2k

i have a nokia 6280 on 3, i have just been browsing ebay and I have seen that there is software to unlock them now, Is this correct and does it work?

I have tried searching the forum but search is disabled!

AFAIK, they're fake. Have a read of some of the ebay guides about this topic. I think only 3/your network can unlock these handsets.

My 3's phone has had its screen cracked while in my pocket. Three collected it on the same day of me calling their CS and returned it fully repaired and tested on the next day. I can't understand the reason behind your delay but are you being rude to them on the phone or something??? It has also never taking me more than a couple of minutes to speak to someone at Three but may be I have been a bit lucky.

:T I cannot fault '3', i just wished i could use the sim card in my new L6. They are cheap, the reception is always excellent even when Orange, Vodafone and T-mobile have not been and i can always get to their CS without being passed from pillar to post.
Well done '3'. <just start unlocking newer phones please!>:j
