Australian Phones are the most difficult ones I have come across. There seems to be a general difficulty with Australia. Each phone is allowed only a few tries before it is hard locked. 3 to 5 tries. It still works but you will need a cable and a thing-a-me-giggy to unlock it. It will STILL WORK on the original Network. I would like to see if I can figure out the right code. I can only think of 4 or 5 ways. The problem is that people who have requested codes have not always replied after getting the codes. Remember that each phone uses a unique code. These Codes are based on the Network codes and a security code. That combination of codes is what we need to calculate the code. It is important that I know if the phone returns an error message when a code is entered. I can give you a code that I would expect to work. It may not work however. If you would like to try a free solution you can try the Code I give you or you can take it to your local Phone repair professional and have it done. If you have tried any codes, I need to know what code and how many times you have tried. If you try the same code twice, that is two tries. Let me work on sonething. back in 10. JG
I want to do this in two stages. IMEI#359378/00/655758/8 Vodafone Nokia 1600 Bought from Aussie ( ) Remove sim first. Your code:Try this [bold]once and once only.[/bold]Remember, you only get 3 to 5 tries. If you enter the same code two times, that is two tries. #pw+227415547431205+2# Enter first #pw+296025710317614+5# Enter second ONLY if you do NOT get Code error. To enter code: Make sure battery is charged. Power on. Ignore “Insert SIM” Press the # key. then press the "star" key (*) quickly to get the P and W and + Press * 3 times quickly for (p) \ Press * 4 times quickly for (w) IMPORTANT Press * 2 times quickly for (+) / and the rest of the code--- Begin with # and end with #. IMPORTANT!! Verify code before pressing the last #. Pay attention. You only have about two seconds. "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] If it does not work, tell me: What happened? What message you got. What codes you tried. Above all, answer. [/bold] JG
Thanks for the codes, I have tried for the first code is says "code error" and for the second code its says "not allowed". Please advise.
Sorry to hear that. "Not allowed" or "Can Not Undo Restriction" it's hard locked. Used up all your free tries!! It will still work on the original Network. Take it to a shop that has the equipment to unlock it. JG
