    I bought a T Mobile UK phone from E Bay. I wrote to them and got the unlocking code. However they said I need to put a T Mobile SIM card in to unlock the phone.
    Anyone know a way around this? As there's no T Mobile in Ireland it looks like I have to order a T Mobile sim card to a friend in UK and get it sent over....

    Thanks,
    Patrick.

    Switch on the phone and press <**< and select Network and then select MNC2 and type in your unlock code where it says NCK and enter. That will unlock the phone

    If that doesn't work you can get a free T-Mobile SIM (just enter any old postcode like BT7 1EB, should get to you anyway):

    So it seems I've used up my attempts at unlocking my 6230i and it tells me it "cannot undo restriction".


    Anyone know where i can get it done in Dublin?

    Can only be unlocked by code direct from the network, or else using special unlock hardware (unlocking shop)

    OK. The above reply I gave was true until today!:D

    You can now purchase an unlock code for ALL phones on the Vodafone Ireland network regardless of brand etc.
    This will even work for BB5 Nokias.
    All you do is type in your IMEI number and you get your unlock code mailed to you once its ready.

    Boards users should enter discount code BOARDSVF


  • Registered Users Posts: 529 ✭✭✭d-redser


    do you email the unlock codes??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 57 ✭✭conor2949


    Hi all,

    I have a nokia 6151 which is a bb5 phone i think.

    I have a dku 5 cable - now all i need is the software necessary.

    I took down some software from a dejan dude but i can't seem to get it to load - it says that it can't open up the com port - even though i've edited the config file for all the possibilities (1 - 9)

    Can anyone point me to other software?

    FREE!

    Thanks
    Conor

    Hi

    See the post above.....

    All you do is type in your IMEI number and you get your unlock code mailed to you once its ready.

    I assume this is what you are asking, or have I misunderstood?

    Conor. The Dejan software is no use to you anyway as it will not unlock the 6151. It is a BB5 Nokia alright but cannot be unlocked with any free software.

    hi!
    i hope some of ye can help me...i have a sony ericsson z610i which was locked 2 the three network. I wanted 2 change to meteor so i paid the 27 euro and got the phone unlocked. when i got the meteor sim and put it in, it sais "video phone locked" and told me to put in a code between 4 and 8 digits. i cant remember doing it but i must have put this code on the phone for some strange reason before!! I went into the three store and they said i have to get the phone sent away to restore it. Does anyone know if that can be done over the internet??

    Can you clarify this plz

    Say on a N95 8GB where's the <

    Does this mean the unlock code can be entered without any SIM inserted?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 857 ✭✭✭whisht


    That is for Sony Ericssons only

    Mine was for the same reason-going abroad- but they still took 3 to 4 weeks for a nokia-surely doesn take that long for a nokia, other one was a samsung and they NEVER got back to me at all! I was soooo annoyed wtih them I moved to Vodafone... U use a turbo sim now which I got for 35e well worth it cos it works in numberous manufacturers and you have ur other sim working immediately and not have to wait ages for o2 to give an unlock code:)

    they did eventually text the code, took nearly 2 weeks tho, and a few calls later. I think it should be instant really, and it was a common nokia so i don't know why it would take so long, least its done now tho
