Unlock/Restriction codes are available from your network only.

Enter the 15 digit Network Unlock Code as follows:

#pw+ followed by the 15-digit unlock code then +1#

For example: #pw+123456789012345+1#

The keypad will only allow you to enter numeric digits.

To enter p, press the * (star) key three times.

To enter w, press the * (star) key four times.

To enter +, press the * (star) key two times.

5. The phone will display ?Phone restriction off?. The handset is now unlocked.

I should add that you only get 5 attempts at unlocking with a code, after that it locks you out for good, and its a NCP (Nokia Care Point) thats required after that. (Thanks shunts) :smileyhappy:

 

Note: Removing the SIM restriction does not remove the network branding.
