    They've gone quite strict over the past month, A customer from America had one and topped it up by €80 in a month and they wouldn't unlock it even though he was going home--saying they had changed the systems and that although you could unlock it before under someone elses number that they can't do it anymore which I think is BS! but its worth trying someones vodafone number to get it unlocked under
    Cheers for that, I don't know if you can answer this, but in case anyone else can, do I need to be able to give a Vodafone number or will I actually need a Vodafone SIM card to unlock it this way?

    Hey all, my sisters are going abroad for the year and they want to take their phones with them. Is there any chance of getting unlock codes for these?


    Nokia 6131
    IMEI 356432012287582
    Locked to Meteor




    Nokia 6300
    IMEI 359810015405078

    Thanks very much for any help.

    Hi All

    I bought an N73 of my mate the other day but it is locked to the 3 network. Any ideas on how to unlock it. Otherwise I'll have to bring it to phone shop and see what they can do. Thanks in advance :)
    I'm in the same situation, trying to unlock a 3 n73 but I'm getting the feeling this can only be done in a shop or pay 3 a ridiculous amount to get the code. Last time I needed to unlock a phone it was with o2 and I just rang up and they gave it to me.

    3 charge the number its registered to €27 so I'd kick them in the a~~e and get it unlocked in a shop

    Yeah guys rang 3 and they told me it would cost €27 to give me code plus there had to be €120 spent on credit on the phone. So I just went to shop and got it unlocked with latest software update and all. It cost €30 but out of principle would not pay 3 for the code. :)

    Hi Guys

    I have a Nokia 6500 slide and when I left the 3 network I requested the unlock code. 25 euro later and three attempts later I had locked it permenently because they had given me an incorrect code. My question is are there any stores on the northside of Dublin or Meath that can unlock the phone. Thanks in advance

    Nokia unlock codes look like this;

    #pw+123456789012345+1#

    Each Nokia phone has it's own unlocking code. To enter the unlock code, first put a foreign sim card in the phone, i.e. - if the phone is locked to the O2 network, put a non O2 sim card in the phone. When you turn the phone on, you will usually see an error message saying "Phone Restricted" and you will have an option to "Undo Restriction", press "Undo Restriction" and enter the unlock code in this format;

    #PW+XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX+1#

    The letter P will appear after quickly pressing the star button ( * ) 3 times.
    The letter W will appear after quickly pressing the star button ( * ) 4 times.
    The letter + will appear after quickly pressing the star button ( * ) 2 times.

    The phone should show the message "SIM Restriction Off" or a similar message to confirm that is it unlocked.

    Thanks a million. Worked a treat. Just goes to show the info from Vodafone- while complying with regulator- does not make it easy for a user to unblock phone.
    interesting to note that Vodafone claim you can only get 9 unblocking opportunities! Sounds a bit random.

    :cool:

    No problem. You only get 3 chances to unlock it by code. Vodafone probably told you 9 times so you'd hardlock it, making it more of a hassle to get it unlocked therefore keeping you on their network longer.

    Many thanks in advance,

    Kat. ;)
