    I recently broke my nokia 6280 phone which was made by Three/Boost an Australian phone company, so now I want to put my three sim into a nokia 6101, RM-76

    I'm not sure what's it locked to, my friend says she's been able to put vodafone and optus sims in it. But the message 'Phone Restricted' comes on and asks for a code when I place my three sim card in it.

    Model: Nokia 6101
    IMEI: 358360002958425
    Locked to Optus or Vodafone?

    thanks :)

    I think you have a compatibility problem.
    I am not sure, but your 3 SIM might be 3G (3GSM/ W CDMA) and the 6101 may not be 3G compatible.
    I think the 6280 is a 3G compatible phone and the 6101 is not.

    In any event, the phone cannot be locked on two networks.
    If it works on Optus and Vodafone, I believe it is not locked.
    You will need to check the specs on the 6101 and ask 3 if the SIM is 3G.
