I've looked around on the net to find the network XE mobile uses and the article on wikipedia says it uses the cingular network. I've tried the dct-4 code generator using the settings for cingular but it doesn't work. I only got 2 more tries left before I have to use a cable or have it sent to a professional unlocker. What should I do?

Didn't work. I got the can't undo restriction message. I guess this is one of the nokias that only allow 3 tries instead of the normal five like my nokia 6010.

I've tried using Cingular Too, XE is a virtual provider for Cingular, and i thought it would work.
I think they have put some firmware modifications in XE mobiles...Still unsure which MNC+MCC to use.

Why not read the MNC+MCC directly from the phone!
