Nokia E71 Unlocking from '3' network.

Hi, ahve you been able to unlock your Nokia E71 using eBay's method?
thanks

 

Its been a week and my code has not arrived yet... chasing up now.

 

just paid them yesterday via paypal and have recently received an email confirming my payment - According to them the ublock server are working on the code. Will let you know as sonn as I receive and give it try

 

Yes I got an answer saying they are still waiting on the '3 UK unlocking server'...

 

Me the same but I have purchased this service just yesterday...
What's mean "waiting for 3UK Unlocking Server" - are they going to use 3 original master code? Cos if this is true, they (3) can track this and then charge your account [contract + £15]?

 

I don't know what the "3 UK Unlocking Server" is but they have refunded my money and say they can't unlock it because my phone is not in the database... they claim that despite having refunded my money if the unlock code comes through they will give it to me. So I'm back to square one

 

The only way to unlock Nokia E71 and keep warranty is:

http://www.dm3unlock.com/ and in UK it costs £25

 

Thanks! I am trying this tomorrow...

 

same goes for me. They've refunded me stating they haven't received it from the unlocking server and that if they ever receive it, they will send it for free. Back to square one

 

Finally got it unlocked. Took it to a place in Chinatown left it there for a couple of days. They said they would use the DM3 machine. I suppose they did, but I'd have no way of knowing. All seems to be cool tho.

 

Mine the same, two minutes, DM3 and finally £20, but it works

 

sorry for asking, but what is DM3?

 

DM3 is a device that can unlock your Nokia without dismantling a phone.

 

Just received my unlock code from 3. After more than 2 months waiting for it, they finally had it - punched in the numbers and it was unlocked - had to pay 15 pounds though.

 

Only just £15? They said to me that I need to pay full contract charge (18 months) + those £15...

 

hi, I actully live abroad and had my sister buy this phone without a contract - she paid 230 pounds, but it came locked, that is why I've been trying to unlock it more these past 2 months

 

Try calling the Network it's locked too for the unlock code. Tell them you need it to use abroad and that you bought it new. They should not charge more than £15.

 

Just bought the e71 simfree from 3, phoned customer services for unlock code (cost me £15), got it straight away. The going abroad trick to get the unlock code for free only works with a contract i was told.
Then used the phoenix 2008 software mentioned on the first page to flash the e71, worked like a charm
p.s. thanks for the software

 

Don't think you bought the phone simfree or you wouldn't have needed to unlock it.

 

Hi All
I just rang 3 and had my phone unlocked - here is the code they gave me to unlock my nokia e71 - #pw+018790155656976+1# - not to sure if it works on all nokia e71's but you can give it a go - btw I'm located in Australia.
Good luck hope it works.
