"Restriction code" for a mobile phone

Unclepetey

I changed my mobile phone contract about 6 months ago from a T-Mobile monthly contract to a Vodafone one.

I got a new handset with my Vodafone contract but kept the (Nokia 6300) handset from when I was with T-Mobile.

I need to get my Vodafone handset repaired and was wondering if I could use my old Nokia with my Vodafone sim card. But when I charge the battery and turn it on I get a message saying my phone's use is restricted. It then asks me to enter a restriction code.

Does anyone know what this is and how I get it? I assume T-Mobile will be able to give it to me if I ask for it?

Thanks

They might sell it to you.

Ok, thanks.

In that case, is there a way of me unlocking for free?

Ask them in the Mobile Phone part of the board. They should be able to help you out.

If not, the Nokia 6300 can easily be unlocked by your local market phone stall, or independent phone shop, probably for about a fiver.
