Put in your old Sim Card and unlock in via the internet, it's free and eezy, check the Unlocking section for more info.

How will putting the old Sim Card in help this guys Security Code Problem, lol, he's not talking about a network locked SIM or PIN code.. The security Code is phone dependant, has no relation to the network.

I got the same problem, you have to take it to nokia care, to get reset. I can't take mine because nokia cares too far away from where I live, its a bummer

Well. I know my Lock Code, and I made it so that when a new SIM Card is inserted into my N-Gage ... my phone asks for the Lock Code, which the thief or stealer will not know.

I believe that the phone is locked once a new SIM card is inserted. Insert the original one and see what happens. Otherwise, you have to go to Nokia Care Centre and get a re-flash of the firmware. You might get the latest version while you're at it :D

yup, one way is to flash ur fone, so it becomes the default 12345 again.

or ask ard fone shops in ur place, see if they can find out the security code for u, at a small price of course.

My friend bought an N-Gage off Ebay. The seller forgot the Lock Code, so I guess my friend can't sell it again.

Just make sure that:

Lock Code doesn't automatically lock your phone in x amount of minutes
Phone doesn't lock when new SIM is inserted
That you'll never need to use *#7370#, cause you need the lock code

Thank god I bought a new, wrapped N-Gage lol :-P
