Unlocking a Samsung Tocco

My phone is now so old it is not working properly so I thought I might see if I can unlock my OH old phone a Samsung Tocco. No instruction booklet though!

Anyway I found a free code online and it seems to have worked. Phoning and getting calls seem to work as do sending and receiving
texts. However, I don't seem to be able to get online.

Can anyone offer me some help at all please?

    You'll need to put in the internet settings for your network. Check your service provider's website. If they haven't got your model listed then select a similar model or manually enter the generic settings.

    I found a website that said this

    If your Tocco is network locked to O2 or Vodafone and you wish to unlock it for use with a different provider, It can be unlocked by entering the following codes using the dialpad:

    #7465625*638*00000000*00000000#

    then:

    #7465625*638*00000000#

    Confirmation should be displayed onscreen after each code is entered. That's all there is to it! The above method may work with other Samsung handsets (i.e: G600, etc.) too

    I used the top code and it worked on my Tocco. HTH
