Hello,

Im from sweden and i bought this telefon (gd 87) yesterday.

The person i bought it from told me that he self had bought it from Italie and that the mobil works fine in every country except in sweden.

I did some reaserch about the phone before i was going to buy it. I did find out that the phone could be unlocked to be used in sweden as i thought that was the problem.

But now im starting to be a litlle suspesious. I read an article in this (or in another) forum that explaind that if you "turn on" your phone and recive the message (security problem), the phone is BLOCKED!!!

Is this true!? Im pretty sure that i have been disived :(
Also i did find out by pressin 746+meny+meny that the phone was locked to Vodafone in SWEDEN!!!!! NOT to Italie :(

Can i solve this problem of mine? I would be VERY grateful to anyone who can help me.

Please, anyone........:(


Best regards

first of all...call vodafone sweden to see if it's a barred phone...
if not..then u can unlock and use it in sweden

check by pressing 746 menu menu

see if there is any lock in network / VODAFONE (last menu)

if yes...u do need to unlock

1. check the firmware version...

if it's before A22..easy to unlock by reader 5.0

if after A22 --> need reader 6.0

Thanks you very much KING!

I checked my firmware by pressing *#9999# and did found out to have a xxxxxxxA19-19 .

Does that mean that i can solve my problem with Panareader 5.0?

I found the program and downloaded it, but is there any tutorial how to use it????

I still searching for that.

Btw, is it easy to get a datacabel to GD87. Here in sweden there is up to 6 months delivery time for that cabel. And not a singel store does have it home.

Still searching for that too.

If anyone have some suggestion how to get a DataCable to gd87, i would make my day :D ;) :D

Ps. Tnx once again KING!!!


Best Regards

I got some GD87 unlocking cable in stock...
contact me for price...I promise it's cheaper that u got it from anywhere

by the way, for GD87 COM cable,, there are two types
1. DATACABLE
with pin4 & 10 enabled for the data transfer (like pictures or edit ringtones)
2. UNLOCKING cable
only can be used with unlocking or firmware upgrade

what I have is unlocking cable only....as customers found me for unlocking usually ...T_T! sad. I'm also selling phone accessories..
