Download software to generate the unlocking
code . Software is available on some websites for free
.
Find the Serial number of the cell phone, also
known as your IMEI number. This can be done by
either removing the back of your cell phone and looking
underneath the battery, or simply by typing in *#06#
into your cell phone. It should be something like:
010082321439976/07951780736
Using the software you have downloaded, enter
in your Manufacturer (which is in this case Nokia),
and sliding the card out . Put the battery back in and
power the phone on.
You will see a message "Insert SIM Card". Enter
all of the characters you see in your code, including the
# symbols. To get a 'p' press * 3 times, to get a '+' press
the * key 2 times, to get a 'w' press the * key 4 times.
Disregard any spaces in the code.
In order to unlock your phone you generally need
to enter only one code . Start with the first one. If
your phone is not unlocked by typing the first code
(MCC+MNC), use code "7" (Multilock)
Once you have finished entering a code that
works you should see a message that says "SIM
is not restricted" or "Restriction off" message
depending on your model . If not, try entering another
code. Message "Cannot undo restrictions" means the
phone is "hard-locked" and cannot be unlocked by code.
