I have an old Nokia 3310 locked to Orange

IMEI 354345009589921

I tried a few sites a while ago and none of the codes worked so I gave up. I decided to try again, but the Nokia unlocking thread has been closed.

Can anyone help me with a code?

    Some of the links in the thread still work though. Wont Orange provide the code for free?

    Thanks.

    I tried some of the links that worked a while ago and drew a blank so was hoping someone might have one that worked.

    I haven't tried Orange. Do they have to give you the unlock code?

    Thanks for that. I can't remember if I tried that one, but will give it a try.

    It's a few months since I last tried and I don't know how many attempts I have left. Will I brick the phone if I reach the limit?

    The phone still has the original OVP sim which has become really expensive. Even though this phone is only for emergency use I would like to move from Orange if possible and not managing to get an unlock code is the only thing that has been stopping me.

    I had another 3310 before this one and managed to unlock it years ago, but I didn't bother doing this one as at the time I had no reason to want to leave Orange.

    I've just tried the site above, entered the IMEI etc and it said
    Like or Tweet about this page to reveal the Unlock button.

    However no Unlock Button appeared.

    Can someone try for me as I don't know if it is the site or my pc?

    If getting it unlocked is too expensive, why not move to a new Orange plan, or move to one of the other networks that use Orange/EE? I've got an old Orange Nokia that I use with a White mobile SIM (but they need you to use the SIM every two months rather than six to keep it active, so that might not be best for you). Another one you could try is Asda.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into that. Asda might be an option.

    Many thanks for that. The Thanks button isn't showing for me at the moment.

    I have tried both unlock codes and getting a "Code error". However that could be operator error. Is there a space between 428 and 737 and how do I insert a space as I am getting 0 when I try?

    Just checked and Asda are on Vodafone.
