Unlcoking the Nokia 6230i (not just the Nokia 6230 by David Smithz
Hi there, I am trying to unlock my Nokia 6230i so I can use any sim card in it (I'm taking it to the US). I tried the following website which has been great previously: http://www.trycktill.com/eng/ But it does not have specific information on the 6230i. I did try two of the 6230 codes but they failed and I'm aware that I only have 5 chances.

7600 unlocking/resetting with Fbus by Maestro.......other experiences? by Joe
I've just spent the entire afternoon pulling my hair out trying to factory reset a couple of 7600's using a cable I got from Phantom GSM and the Fbus program by Maestro. (Btw one of the retractable pins on the cable was faulty so fixing that took another hour....thanks Phantom). I fired up the program in WinXP (after installing the Userport driver) expecting the whole thing to take 10 minutes...

Security Code On A Nokia 5210 by Kimball K Kinnison
I have dug an old Nokia 5210 out of a draw and put a T-Mobile SIM in it. It works fine and I can access all functions. However I want to do a master reset to clear out all the old settings etc. However I reset the default security code and cant for the life of me remember it. What (free!) software is there that will link via Infra Red and let me know what the code is.

Unsuccessful at unlocking f500i looking for advice by Gary
I bought a credit for Total Multi Server and tried to unlock the f500i. No matter what I did the server wouldn't recognise my phone. (It powered on when I hit the power button for a split second.) I returned the cable and got a T28 cable. This time when I hit the power button for a split second the server went through umpteen stages. It then said to remove the battery / replace the battery and...

How Long To Obtain Unlock Code From Network? by John
Hello group, Howlong should it take to obtain an unlock code from a network, in this case Virgin. They are quoting me 10-20 days. I think this is ridiculous. Unfortunately, my phone is an old Philips Savvy, so no free unlock code off the net. Thanks for your answers, John

Do I need to unlock my phone? by Tristán White
This is a nice and easy one. I have an Ericsson T610, I live in the UK, and I go to Spain a lot. When I'm next in Spain, I want to buy a SIM card so that I can still use my phone, and simply carry around with me the two SIMs and the one phone. Rather than buying a brand-new pay-as-you-go phone in Spain, which means another piece of equipment to worry about.

Vodafone fault in Argyll by MB[_4_]
Quite a big feature in this week's Oban Times about a Vodafone fault affecting lots of people around Oban. Some have been off for a few days, some since 3rd January and some since before Christmas. One comment added says that Bridge of Orchy has been off for three weeks. What really annoys them most is that when they ring to report it Vodafone blame on their phones, SIM card and anything...
