    I am aware that unlocking the Nokia 6630 is virtually impossible so thank you for the very helpful thread on this Browntoa. Question is (and sorry to ask) is it ever likely to be cracked and if so, would you predict months or years??? Mine is on "3" and the deal is fabulous for what I use it for (virtually free) but I would love to use it overseas with a local SIM. Thanks in advance.

    I hardlocked a nokia 3220 and thanks to browntoa, stopped wasting time and looked for someone to unlock it. Found someone local who did it for a fiver! Woohoo! Thanks for advice, and patience.
    no codes can be guarenteed to work as nokia can change firmware and settings at any time.
    if you want a guarenteed working code you should contact your service provider and pay for it, not complain about people who do there best for free

    from what ive heard from the people who provide unlocking solutions, it wont be too long before a solution is available although it wont be free (for a while?)
    months not years

    PLEASE be kind, Browntoa!!!! I have read the threads (which are very very helpful) so I am very aware that unlocking the Nokia 6630 ain't easy... and has levels of complexity to it. Question is - is there any light at the end of the tunnel regarding this? Is it likely to be possible, and if so, will it be in months or years???

    i suspect it will take a while before even a paid for option appears, there is non-nokia equipment that can repair the software now but even this cannot unlock the phones..I would think maybe 6 months to a year !!

    opps
    sorry i take it all back then :o
    (although it still goes for anyone complaining about a free service)
  • I have tried 4 times and all 3 methods mentioned in the original post. It has been a "code error" every time. I have a nokia 6230 (not 6230i). Any thoughts why it isn't working. Is it possible that its unlocked already??

    Wow, how things have changed, a good few years back I bought all the cables and software for unlocking nokia's (DCT3) and I remember the bad old days of having to dismantle 3210's, shorting pins on the eprom chip while powering up the phone and running the unlock software, even not so long ago the Nokia 8310's were a nightmare to unlock before newer software became available, Now DCT3 & 4 phones can mostly be unlocked with codes....If I remember correctly it took over 18 months for a system to unlock DCT3 phones by code to become available, so a little wait for the options on the 6630 to become available shouldn't harm anyone

    @Tuesnightspecial - Possible, put a sims in from another network....if it gets a signal, it's never been locked
