    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
    what are the phone make/models?
    what is the message when you put sim in?

    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

    I gave them these as well ...lol

    they are getting a weird problem though...no message from the phone...no reboot ....phone justs sits there ??

    usually see this problem when not all the characters have been entered?
    any "ok" button or anything?
    try with and without the sim and with a locked sim so it says "unlock"
    are you sure they are not already unlocked?

    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

    Just tried this, and it doesn't seem to work either. Says "Not allowed". I read somewhere that this is what Virgin phones say in place of "Cannot undo restriction" so perhaps I've used up all my hits.

    Interesting that it shouldn't have mattered that I put the codes in with the SIM still in. Presumably the codes I was given weren't the right ones.

    Shame this one didn't work either. How do I go about getting a cable?

    its not just a cable you need - its the hardware as well which is £100+ depending which type you buy
    @8383 and buddy_sanrao
    the 6630 cannot be done by code yet (or cable )
