A while ago someone posted on the freebies board about unblocking your phone for free.
Does someone have the site please?
Someone has blocked my daughters phone at school, it is only an old one from her big sister 3310, but she has just put money on it.
Thanks.
Kerry

    what do you mean blocked? do you mean the sim has be blocked ie wrong pin entered more than 3 times? if so you will need the PUK from the provider. they will supply this for free over the phone

    I'll move this over to the mobile phone's board, I think you'll probably get more help there with your query :)
    Nobody can make you feel inferior, without your permission ;)

    the phone is fine its the sim thats blocked (after 3 wrong guesses)
    voda will give you the puk code
    if you have 10 (i think) wrong guesses then the sim is permantly blocked and is scrap.
    may be possible for them to transfer any remaining credit to another voda sim though
  • The PUK code should be in the box with the manuals etc.
    ...and then the window licker said to me...
