    Take the sim out.
    Power back on.

    Type in:
    *2767*688#
    OR
    #*7337#

    This will restore the phone back to factory settings as well as unlock it.
    Let me know how you get on.

    I've done loads, and charged £10 for it at the market!!

    Groover,

    you say you worked in the market unlocking phones - do you know how to unlock the Nokia 6680 yet? How about the old motorola a835?

    a385 can be done with smart-clip (some market stalls will have them)
    6680 is bb5 i think so no unlock solution yet unless you can get service provider to give you code (expensive)
