    Hi
    BB5 type phones such as 6280, 6630, 6681, 6682 or
    any N-Series phones,N-70, N-90 ect. or Tracfones

    6234 6136 6260 6270 6280 6630 6680 6681 6682 7370

    thanks

    shame i cant get through to them, infact its a shame the guy i was ordering the phone on sent me a locked one, i told him why i needed and unlocked one!

    lets hope that when i get through they will unlock it for me or it is going back!

    well i have finally got through to vodafone and they are sending me the unlocking code but it might take up to 2 weeks!

    its all a bit difficult when you live in france but live a little bit in england too! still its all sorted now!

    thanks for you help

    Thanks for the reply.
    Be careful. You only have three tries. It will hard-lock.
    I do not know if they will tell you to remove the SIM but follow their instructions.

    Make sure battery is charged.
    Press the # key.
    then press the "star" key (*) quickly to get the P and W and +
    Press * 3 times quickly for (p) \
    Press * 4 times quickly for (w) IMPORTANT
    Press * 2 times quickly for (+) /
    and the rest of the code---
    Begin with # and end with #

    Good luck
