    you need to enter 2 codes

    end +1# and then +2#

    the codes are unique to each phone, do not use codes for another phone

    thanks browntoa.so i put in the code on unlocking section for this phone twice one ending +1# then same code but ending +2# without the sim card in.
    somewhere on the thread it said something about not using o2 or 3 sims.

    #pw+352 176 715 0+1#

    and then

    #pw+307 722 829 6+2#

    STEP 1
    Remove Simcard

    STEP 2

    ignore the spaces in the code , they are there only to make it easy to enter

    Type #, then *-key 3 times (you get p), then *-key 4 times (you get w), then *-key 2 times (you get +), then the 10 digits, then *-key 2 times (you get +), then 1, #

    do the same for the code ending +2#

    its because the firmware on the phone is so old and it has bt cellnet (now known as o2) programmed into it.

    my old 3330 does the same thing
