Hi Berty, I have (due to my friend’s upgrades) two nokia's both locked. I have read this forum thread and the one thing I do understand is you are the man. : ) the 1st is a 7250i on T mobile uk, type:nhl4jx code:0512596 FCC IDynahl-4j IC:661v-nhl4j IME:352545003203047 and the 2nd is 6230 on orange uk, TYPE:rh-12 CODE:0513072 IME:352953008160503 . The 6230 has no sim, but I do have a new vodaphone sim. I have downloaded a key generator but was unable to highlight asic 6, so I got scared of lockout and decided to pester you. I understand how to get the P and W functions but don’t know how to get it to ask me for code and how to confirm code. Is there a legend and an idiots guide to nausing up good phones or can I just be wimpy and let you do the intelligent stuff. Many thanks James. PS if I was to enter a wrong digit how would I backup without losing one of my 5 lives. ttfn
