help urgent please send me an e*mal at:

guys, i need some help. ok, my problems range as follows. i have a nokia phone (8390)
my serial number is: 010093304737052
my mcc+mnc is: 31017

im in usa on cingular mobiles network (lockers of the phone)

i sent in a request and was giving an unlock code from my service provider.

#pw+0246521775+1#

their instructions are as follows: to insert a foreign sim
and then enter the code provided.
Funny thing is the second i would turn on the phone it would say, enter restriction code. I would enter the code in its entirety and it would have it as above, i would have to hit the ok button to get it to actually continue. that is when it would say. code error.

then i found out you need to take the sim out and tried it that way. well at this point i am uncertain of how many attempts i have left of unlocking the phone. is there a certain way of findout out? and is there a way of resetting that. Perhaps use my phone a while and i have 5 chances again or something?

And if anyone can get me the correct unlock codes please do so.

the code you got is for DCT-3 phone! cingular did wrong calculation

if configuration key for lock is 31017, then this should unlock your phone

#pw+812061540032462+6#
#pw+405277336354074+7#

try code number one first! if its says code error, network code in configuration key is not 31017, if it saya can't undo restiction or not allowed, then you have entered too many wrong codes - send phone back to cingular as they gave you a wrong code!

please post feedback, thanks
