I need some help unlocking my nokia 1600 phone, with Net10 (tracfone) service. The IMEI is 010972001323623 Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Unlocking tracfones will do you no good. you cannot use another carrier's simcard in the phone. The best way is to get it flashed / unlocked so that you can use the T-Mobile or Cingular simcards in them. Once you get them reflashed, you will not be able to use the Tracfone sim card in it.
By taking the mobile to a shop. Flashing is the process of replacing a cell phone's firmware, usually to replace the original firmware with updated or custom firmware. Flashing is often performed to remove restrictions put on a phone by that phone's wireless carrier. While flashing is not illegal, it usually voids any warranty offered by the service provider.
