Unlocking Question

    I recently upgraded my phone. I now have an old one (6510) that a friend of mine wants to buy. I'm on Voda and he is O2.

    If he puts his SIM in my phone, will it work?

    If my old phone needs to be unlocked, how do I go about it (legitimately)?

    Thanks in advance,
    Dave.

    yeah you could do that, or if you DON'T want to spend money then email your IMEI code, the network the phone is locked to (cause i'm gonna forget and probably not bother to look at this thread again) and the model of the phone to me and i'll try to get back to you within a few days if i can.

    1. IMEI (*#06#)
    2. Network
    3. Model
    4. leadmagnet@eircom.net

    Any chance you could do my 6510 LeadMagnet?

    found a site that does it automatically.
    you'll need your IMEI, Network and Phone Model.

    well by god that is handy. I was searching for ages for something like that site with no luck. I guess now i have 2 ways of unlocking dct4 phones. But MY way gives all 7 codes so there
    */me sticks his tongue out*:p

    Well i supposed you may aswell just use that website. Gives a faster response than i do.

    Why on earth does it not include the Nokia 3310? do you have to select the correct model to get the correct code?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,714 ✭✭✭conZ


    the Nokia 3310 is not DCT4, only new generation nokias (7650 6310 etc) use DCT4, so now you can remotely unlock them. The 3310 needs a cable or whatever, but you cant just generate a code i think.

    If you need your 'phone unlocked, let me know (PM). I have a Nokia unlocking kit.

    you CAN generate a code for 3310s cause i got mine unlocked before by calling vodafone and asking them for the code (And then waiting for about a month to get it from them). So there is a way but i haven't been able to find a remote unlocking site on the net that doesn't cost anything.
    It uses DCT3 as opposed to DCT4.

    AFAIK, the only 2 ways to get an unlock code for a dct3 phone is either to contact the network who locked it, or use a cable unlocker. It's not currently possible to generate an unlock code from the imei, network code and model, as it is with dct4.

    yeah i can unlock the 3310's . pm me if ya want


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,308 ✭✭✭quozl


    i've a vodaphone 6610, and I tried that uniquephones website, i entered the codes and it said "cannot undo restrictions". I only got #1 and #7 codes, any idea what the problem is? It's not like I really need it unlocked, but it'd be handy and it's annoying me now.
