HOW TO ENTER YOUR NOKIA UNLOCK CODE!
(1) Turn your mobile off, take out the battery (make sure the battery is not low on power) and remove the sim card, re-insert the battery and turn your mobile back on, then enter the code by using your keypad.
This is how to enter the code . . .
EXAMPLE: #pw+123456789000000+7#
Start with # (hash).
To access p press star * (star) on your keypad three times within one second.
To access w press star * (star) on your keypad four times within one second.
To access + press star * (star) on your keypad twice within one second.
Then enter the numbers, (no spaces).
To access + press star * (star) on your keypad twice within one second.
Then enter the last number and then press the # (hash) key.
The code(s) will only work on the phone it was requested for:
Double check when entering the code, many people type a digit in wrong:
In the case of the code hanging on the screen after entering the last # (hash) key then try it this way.........
(2) Insert a different network's sim card, then switch your phone back on,
When it says phone restricted, press "undo",
It will then ask for a restriction code, simply enter the unlock code provided into the box on the phones screen as if you were typing a text message.
Remember! You have only 5 tries, 3 on some newer phones, after that only a hardware clip solution will help you!
NB: Do not worry, you CANNOT damage your phone by entering the incorrect codes more than 5 times! Its just that you will not be able to unlock it even with a correct code (hardlocked), the phone will still work fine with the original network provider.
Hope this helps.
