taken for a fool I think! can anyone help?

bought a used Nokia 6500 slide from eblag. Was on 3 but seller said it was unlocked and should work on O2 with my SIM.

Phone just asks for a 'Restriction Code' when starting with my SIM

Read about this on here but all info over 2 year old, what's the current situation plesae?

Thanks

Look for 1 of the China Town shops £10uk €10-€15ire average
If they look for more, Just say the chap around the corner said he'd do it for that!
and see what he saythen

 

don't get many like that here, 15 mile drive then choice of 1 'dodgy' phone shop

what about trying yourself first with computer if you have the cable/lead with NSS 'nemesis service suite' never tried it myself! though i have it just incase!
im sure there are a few guides on how to use it on "you tube" or similar

 

local shop want £15, may get some satisfaction from seller - he's promised to pay for the unlocking. Or am I still being a mug!

if fone is ok and works, also he is going to pay to unlock it
Then you have got what you wanted in the first place!!!
more than likely it could have been a genuine mistake about it been unlocked, as seller could have tought it was.

 

hopefully, thanks to the info and help on here. I was unsure if the problem was me, him, the phone or what

just waithing for the money to come through,

cheers
