I purchased an 8290 off Ebay for my sister to replace her broken one but it turns out there is a "Provider Lock" on the phone. Is there a way to unlock this with a code so I dont have to buy a cable or take it to a store that can do it? Thanks for your help. :D

i think for DCT3 phones like your 8290, you have to get the codes only from your provider so
just purchase a data cable of ebay. the cheapest one i think is $7.00 including shipping. just use nokia tool by rolis v1.8 and click the clear sp locks button and nothing else.

you should be able to put any sim in the US

Does this program work on Win2000?
Thanks

Post your IMEI and operator code onto the unlock code page, someone will post back with the code!
