    Hi all,
    Sorry to bother you but I am trying to unlock my mobile and I have gone to a couple of free sites. The one you suggested but I dont know what some of the questions mean.

    What is the GEN and how do I know which one I need for the fone ?
    Is it the same as the boxserial ? Asked 4 by trycktill.com

    Also there seems be the option for calculating DCT4 or DCT3...how do you know which one you should use for your mobile ?

    I am trying to unlock mine and my nieces both
    Nokia 3510i
    Vodafone
    IMEI :
    354348003987257
    354348004004268

    Thanks :T

  • Hi,

    I've had similar problems with my Virgin Nokia 1100 to some of the people earlier in this thread. I bought codes from Keep Talking, but was so confused by their instructions that I initially entered them with the SIM still in. When I tried them without the SIM, they still didn't work and said "Not allowed".

    I guess I'm nearly at the five tries - one time, the code disappeared while I was checking I'd done it right, so I don't know whether that counts.

    Can you help me at all? It's a Nokia 1100, locked to Virgin, IMEI number:
    355398008140781.

    If I've used up all my code hits, is there anything else I can do?

    I really hope you can help.

    Thanks,

    JB
  • Oh woe is me!! :confused: I have searched, I have bought cables :confused: and I have just paid £1.80? for a code and none of the solutions seem to work!
    Problem is this, I bought a couple of phones from eBay which are all ok, but are SUPPOSED to be unlocked! But none seem to be? I have 02, voda,T-Mobile, Virgin sims and none will work so i am assuming that they have to be on Orange?? (One certainly has to be as itis locked and has an orange badge?) Can anyone help me?? IMEI numbers are not a problem.
    What I have done si to input the codes and nothing happens at all, the display still shows the number I have input and the words clear at bottom right of screen.
    HELP!! Please!!

    Chris

    @ahll
    enter the codes below
    it will be code 1 i think for voda but if no good try 5 then 7
    take the sim out of your phone and turn phone on.

    Insert Sim should obviously appear.

    Then use the * key to enter the W - P and +. push twice for the +, 3 times for the P and so on.

    After you enter the code you should get a message which hopefully says 'Restriction Removed' or something like that
    354348003987257
    #pw+177 554 704 557 351+1#
    #pw+035 223 067 374 326+5#
    #pw+185 934 717 311 636+7#
    354348004004268
    #pw+283 235 712 134 130+1#
    #pw+327 846 055 510 141+5#
    #pw+706 070 534 412 172+7#

    try this
    #pw+126 624 156 141 745+7#
    use instructions above to enter the code (make sure you enter the #PW+ bits as well)
    can leave sim in - dont seem to matter
    it will say "cannot undo restriction" if you use all you tries, but can still be done by cable
