Free codes for Unlocking Phones OTHER than Nokia's Thread 3

Dagobert

I have two Motorola Timeport L7089. One is an Orange contract phone, the other bought on ebay - no idea which network it was originally registered with. (This model dates back to 2000.)

When inserting the 3 SIM, both phones prompt me "Enter Special Code Now:". I gather what it wants is an unlock code, although I read further up in the thread that most Motorolas cannot be unlocked via code?

Strangely, when I insert a T-Mobile SIM in the ebay Timeport, no unlocking is required.


I bought a 3 SIM solely fo the purposes of testing whether I have reception for the 3 network. I don't really use mobile phones otherwise and have no requirement for other networks.

If anyone knows a way forward I'd be grateful.

no chance of a phone from 2000 working on 3's network. you need a 3g capable phone from the last 2/3 years for it to be compatible with 3's 3G network

This is not quite correct: The 3 booklet displays a table showing all the 2G services you can use if you don't have a 3G phone.

Hello,hope someone can help me here. I got a very old phone Motorola talkabout 180 its says on it. IMEI 350032403282642 but don't know what network it is locked to.I tried my orange sim card and that didn't work.This phone is belong to a very old lady who used the phone last year and now that sim been canceled I think. I could go and get her a new phone but she like this one because it's big. Is there any way I can unlock this phone for her?

Many thanks.

I think it might be locked to T mobile but not 100% sure.

3 dont have their own 2g network, so they have to pay orange/o2 to use their 2g network and send you warning texts to say that if you dont enable 3g you will get cut off from the network

Thank you for pointing this out! - luckily before I spent money on unlocking the phone and topping up the [empty] SIM.

I had just wanted to verify that I really have reception for the 3 network, which they claim I have, before entering into a mobile broadband contract and buying the required hardware.

Hi
Does anyone know how to unlock a Samsung B100, which is currently under Orange, either for free or very cheaply? I cannot get through to Orange without some ID number that I don't have and can't find anything specific with a google search or on this forum search.
Help!?
Thanks

Hey guys,

I just got a free phone from my phone company "3", but i dont need it, so id like to give it to my girlfriend to use but i need to unlock it first.

So, im just looking for an unlock code for the Sony Ericsson K660
My IMEI number is 35257102-180923-5

If anyone could help, or point me in the direction of a good quality, CHEAP site to unlock my phone, that would be awsome.

Cheers guys!!
