Hi all,
I'm having trouble finding a correct unlock code for my Nokia 6230 on Cingular in Boston, MA. I think the problem may be related to the provider code I was using at first... Details are as follows:
PHONE = Nokia 6230
IMEI = <removed>
CARRIER = Cingular Wireless (Boston, MA, USA)
PROVIDER CODE / MCC-MNC = 31041000 (...or is it *really* 31017000???)
ASIC = Type 2
BOX SERIAL = 33820 (V2)
I was originally using provider code "31017000", as that's the code offered by ALL the code gen programs when selecting "Cingular" from a drop-down list of providers... Based on that, I tried the 7th and then the 1st codes:
#pw+849 941 673 731 043+7#
#pw+847 541 176 557 545+1#
No luck. Then I started to question the provider code, as it's usually shown as "Cingular - Pacific Bell" or something like that on drop-down lists... Cingular HERE, in Boston, has NEVER been Pac Bell... So, after poking around a bit, I found this list:
http://www.csoft.co.uk/cgi-bin2/coverage_list.pl?ISO=US
On that list are several provider codes for Cingular, and the one that would seem most appropriate for ME is "31041000". So, armed with this new info, I gen'd new unlock codes, and tried the 7th one:
#pw+138 544 761 627 444+7#
STILL no luck!! Now I'm paranoid, and don't want to lock myself out. Even though I *think* I'm doing this right now, and I think I'm using the right stuff, I'd appreciate if someone could confirm what I should try next... Should I stick with the same stuff? Should I try a different provider code or box serial?? If left to my own devices, I'd try the 1st code gen'd by my second attempt next (but I'm afraid!):
#pw+038 063 660 612 660+1#
Also, I just read the sticky about the "new 6230 calc" (http://nokiafree.org/forums/t66274/h/s.html) and looked at that calc... I noticed it actually uses ASIC 6 and box serial 32821 w/the 6230... Can someone please point me in the right direction WRT what provider code, ASIC type, etc. I should be using?
Please help if you can! Thank you!
