I am trying to unlock a new Nokia 3220 locked to Tmobile. I have calculated the codes, removed the sim, and typed in the code. My phone does nothing I don't get a success or failure. The code just stays on the screen. Has anyone else had this problem? I tried using a sim card from another carrier to check to see if it was unlocked without me knowing it and I get a Phone restricted message.

Any ideas??

I have read in other threads that you have to insert the sim card and then enter the code, I would imagine that you enter the sim card of the provider you wish to change to.

A quick search around should confirm this.

Are you sure you're entering the correct code as i've never heard of this problem, you didnt miss a number?

Yes I am sure I am entering the code right. I have tried a few times with different codes. I have never seen this before either. Thanks for any help. I also tried to enter the code with the sim in no luck.

Simple question to check, how long is the code you entered : 15 (+ 1 for lock level) digits I hope !

newer firmware version need sim card inside

sim card inside MUST be from different operator tha the operator that locked the phone is locked to

No codes can be given out, generate the code yourself, download the calc and use Asic 2, box serial Asic 6 on the calc and use code 1
