Make and Model# of phone : Nokia 6280 IMEI( no slashes please) :357926000584271 Country the phone was purchased in :Australea Provider the phone is locked to( not what the current sim is) : 3 network (Aus) the missus just bought a used 6280 which was supposedly UNLOCKED for the ridiculous price of $100 from ebay, long story short, turns out that the phone is actually locked to 3 network. Anyways, we got some codes to unlock it and they dont work. We even spoke to 3 and got a HELLp desk in india....... They gave us a code but it wouldnt unlock the phone. We made sure it was exactly as she told us before we finalised it. Can anyone suggest anything?? She (the indian help desk) told us that we need to take it into a 3 network store, but the nearest is only 600+ Km away so its not possible to go there, the seller (obviously knew it was a proplem) and wont refund, if she cant get it working its a pretty expensive toy for our baby. Thanks in advance. Gunther
Hope there is a local phone shop you can take it to. You may have to use a mail in service. Hi, [bold] 6280 [/bold] [bold]BB5, ASCI11 and DCT4 PLUS;[/bold] We are unable to do these . BB5 type phones such as 2600c,3110c,5200,5300,6085, 6280,6300,6500,6630, 6680,6681, 6682 or any N-Series phones,N-70, N-90 or E series,E50,E60 etc or Tracfones can not be unlocked by this method for use with another Network. Not yet. Only the original service provider can provide a code to unlock them. Our Calculators can not do codes for these. [bold]Be careful. I understand that you only have three chances. If you hard lock the phone by entering wrong codes, not even the original Provider can unlock it by code. [/bold] [bold]ALSO[/bold] These models cannot be unlocked as yet by this method. Those below are ASIC 11 or DCT4 Plus Our Calculators cannot generate codes for these. There is computer software available and being developed for new hardware that will unlock these. ASIC-11 is a new type of lock. ASIC 11 and DCT4 Plus examples. 1110i RH-93, 1112, 1112i, 2310, 2610. (1600b V 5.01 RH-65) 1200, 1208, 1650, 2626, 2630, 2650, 2652, 2760. The original service provider can provide a code to unlock them. Should be doable by cable+hardware. BB5, 6030 RM-225 Not doable by FREE means. Only the original service provider can provide a code to unlock them or a Professional Shop with Equipment except the 6061 RH-98, only your network can unlock this model.
