Nokia 6230i just unlocked

[Babybadger]

Phone was locked to Orange, I didn't have SIM card in and it said 'Insert SIM' so I entered '*#06#' and got IMEI , entered that into Calculator, entered the '7' one (using asic 6 - didn't need sim as it just took it????) and it said 'Phone Restrictions off'

Only problem now is it wont receive or send calls???It gets a phone signal etc, any ideas?

Haven't tried on Orange yet but will tonight.

Blacklisted!!
Different networks blacklist handsets in different ways:

Orange & O2:
If you place an active orange or
O2 sim into a blacklisted handset you
phone will not show any signal strength
at all! If the handset is a Nokia then a
"SIM card registration failed" message
will also be displayed.

Vodafone & T-Mobile
If you place an active Vodafone or T-Mobile sim into a blacklisted handset, the phone will appear to function perfectly UNTIL you try to make an outgoing call. When you try to call out from the handset you will hear a sequence of beeps and then the call will be dropped!!

Cheers for that , I bought it on Ebay as slighty not working and thought I could repair it, couldnt so took it a Nokia Repair Centre and they said it could be fixed under warranty! Got it back and it worked fine just no signal. I called Orange and asked if it was blacklisted after a gut feeling. They said it was blacklisted. So hopefully the guy is going to give me the money back.

https://www.immobilise.com/ may have stopped half of the hassle if I had known about it and asked for the IMEI number, you learn something everyday......

Cheers for that , I bought it on Ebay as slighty not working and thought I could repair it, couldnt so took it a Nokia Repair Centre and they said it could be fixed under warranty! But they didn't check the IMEI against any database.....Got it back and it worked fine just no signal. I called Orange and asked if it was blacklisted after a gut feeling. They said it was blacklisted. So hopefully the guy is going to give me the money back.
