Hi all, i just got given a 6230i from the mother in law to replace my nearly dead 3310 (rofl i know), put my orange sim card in it and it says its restricted. Any ideas on how i un-restrict it?

som3blok3 You will need the Orange SIM. NO PIN [bold]Please read ALL of the instructions below before you start.See the "Note:If nothing happens." below.[/bold] Did you check with IMEI: *#06# ,Firmware Version: *#0000# . Nokia:6230i IMEI:356645006144945 Network:T=Mobile Country:UK [bold]Is this correct?[/bold] If you know the risks, try this [bold]ONCE and ONLY ONCE[/bold] and let us know if it works. You have only 3 to 5 tries and then it will be hard locked. After that you will need a cable thing-a-me-jiggy to unlock it. It will still work on your Network so no big loss. #pw+716310631455524+7# Remove sim first,power on the phone. After the phone boots up, press # Press * 3 times fast for (p) \ Press * 4 times fast for (w) IMPORTANT Press * 2 times fast for (+) / and the rest of the code--- [bold]IMPORTANT!![/bold] Verify code before pressing the last #. Pay attention. You only heve about two seconds. [bold]Note:If nothing happens.[/bold] Some Phones require that you to insert a non accepted sim.[bold] Before you do this, make sure the sim you use does NOT have a security PIN CODE. If it does, reset the security code to default 12345 with the original phone.[/bold] Insert a non accepted SIM and turn it on. You will see "phone restricted", select the UNDO option,then enter the code in the restriction box and press ENTER. "Phone restrictions off", it's unlocked. "Error code" wrong code.[bold]STOP[/bold] tell me. "Not allowed" or "Can Not Undo Restriction" it's hard locked. Used up all your free tries!! [bold]DO let us know if this works.[/bold] Help us provide a better service. JG
