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

fiish

You need to insert an active SIM. The Vodafone SIM being unregistered cannot tell you anything about the phone's SIM lock state. Try it with your O2 SIM card and see what happens.

Usually if there's a SIM lock the V3 will ask you to 'Enter Subsidy Password'. 'Enter Unlock Code' is usually for the PUK.

the 4 digits are not "unlock codes" - the 4 digit number is the pin number you can use to prevent unauthorised use of your phone.

and the fact that the sim is not active is not relevant either - the V3 asking for the unlock code definately does mean that it is locked.

i think there is a free method online for unlocking a V3, but i know that it involves re-flashing the phone and editing the firmware as well, so it's not something a beginner should do at all.

not sure if this is in the right part of the site (fairly new to the forum), but just to make you aware of some details about all these free sim cards/unlocking your phone mentioned on this site such as
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/phones/unlock-mobile-phone#illegal which i think you should know.

while its pointed out that it isnt illegal to unlock a phone in the uk, on a recent return journey from the United States i was pulled over for 'extra security' which one of procedure involes your mobile phone being checked. the ' state security staff'(i forget there offical title) showed a particular interest in my phone (which i had unlocked) and made it clear that they knew the phone had been unlocked and asked to 'inform details on the ownership of the phone and the purpose of its use'.


make of that of what you will ........

i just think you should make people aware that while in the uk unlocked phones are givern a blind eye. in other countries you might be attracting attention to which you have to account for..

although this shouldnt put you off get the great offers out there!!!

ps sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum

all the best there moneysavers

Hi there,
After 2+ years I moved away from O2 and they want £15 to unlock the phone (and it takes 4 weeks.)

Would anybody (James-73?) be able to give me the codes?
The IMEI is 356328002516743

Thanks a lot.
