I would like to know too!!!!

OK, cell phone newbie question: Does this work on the Nokia 3361 phone from the 7-Eleven FAR deal that currently uses the AT&T Free2Go pre-paid service?

Sounds HOT....if I knew what the f*ck you guys were talking about.

<< Please clue me in: What exactly are we unlocking and why do we want to? >>

So that you can take your phone to a new carrier. All wireless carriers subsidize the phones they sell so they don't want customers to be able to switch when their contract terms are up. For example, being a T-Mobile user, you can't just take your currect GSM phone and switch to Cingular. Well guess what, after unlocking the phone, you can and will save a bunch when you tell the sales rep that you don't need to buy a new phone.

But the easier way to unlock is, just tell your carrier you will be on a biz trip to somewhere outside USA and would like to have your phone unlocked so you can use your phone overseas. I wrote an email the second week after I signed up to t-mo and got the unlock code the next day. No hassle whatsoever.

EDIT
Seems like I got beaten by 3 fast finger typers. Wow.

Does anybody have the codes for Cingular of California? None of the codes I'm trying seem to work at all.

<< Unlocking a phone lets a GSM phone switch providers (the phone can accept another companies SIM chip - the data of the phone and its account information)

It can also let you use different worldwide bands.

Lets say I was going to England and wanted to use my Cingular phone. There would be 2 problems w/ a locked phone:
1) The banwidth modulation of the phone would be incorrect (diferent frequency)
2) Cingular isnt a provider in England (provider unavailable)

Unlocking the cell phone allows one to open an account in another country (different frequency acceptance) and different provider.

It's also great if your friend's cell phone dies.. they can pop their SIM chip in your phone and use there provider.... even if its different than your own

Hope that helps,

Unlock SP lock
Here is a way to Unlock your phone which is Service Provider locked, without to know SPLock code !!!!
Give it a try:
First of all, PIN CODE MUST BE ON, then press:
C

C and hold until it clears display
* and hold until start to blink
* and hold until start to blink
04* * *your pin#
Each time you turn your phone OFF it resets the lock, so this need to be done each time you'll turn your phone ON
Anyway it's better than nothing, isn't it?
6110 Sim Card Locking
There are four different types of Sim Locks on the 6110 (not sure about 5110 yet).
1 = Country Lock - Lock to Specific Country
2 = Network Lock - Lock to Network
3 = Provider Lock - Lock to Service Provider
4 = Sim Lock - Lock to Specific SIM Card
To see the status of your phone
#pw+(mastercode)+X#
(mastercode) is a 10 digit number WITHOUT the brackets.
X is a number 1 through 4, it shows the above locks. Not sure of which numbers are assigned to which lock yet. (The numbers above stand for X => for esample: 1 = Country Lock
Sim not restricted message means your phone is NOT sim locked - Check all 4 to be sure.
Most SIMs are locked with the Service Provider Lock => f.e. to the network of MAX

Adding NEW Ring Tones
Set SMSC to +358405202999 (Smart Messaging)
Senf a SMS to 99999 with the word TONES in the message
When you get the reply, edit the message so that the tone that you want does not have a asterisk in front of it. Now send the message to 99999. The phone will display NEW RINGTONE RECEIVED.
Turning on Car Kit and Head Set Menus (Cannot be turned off)
To enable the headset-function, you have to short-circuit the "3" and "4". After a short time there is "Headset" on the display Now, menu 3-6 is now enabled!
To enable the carkit-function you have to short-circuit the "4" and "5". After a short time, "Car" is shown on the display and the menu 3-7 is enabled!!
If you short-circuit the left and the right contact with the middle contact ("3", "6" and "9" the Nokia Software hangs! The profile "Headset" will be activated. Before you do this, just active the "auto call receive" function in the headphone profile and set the ringing volume to "mute" Now you can use your phone for checking out what people are talking about in a room. Place the phone somewhere under a table in this room and call your phone! The phone receives the call without ringing and you can listen to the words these people are talking about!

As you can imagine. YOU CAN DESTROY YOUR NOKIA BY FOOLING AROUND WITH THESE CONNECTIONS. Therefore I accept NO responsibility for any possible damages. My advise to you is to think twice before doing something and if you are going to try make use of a car-kit holder to get access to the X100 connector since it is to tiny to use a self-fashioned connector. IT IS POSSIBLE TO REPROGRAM THE NOKIA 2110 as is indicated by the pinout description so watch it !


DTMF Programming
If you dial in to a service number which requires DTMF strings after you have dialled in, you can program the whole sequence. What you do is:

Key in the number.
Press the * three times: a 'p' appears (pause).
Key in the DTMF code, you can use 'p' again in this string.
Store this in memory.
If you select the memory place, and dial the stored number, the mobile will wait a few seconds (pause) and then send the string as DTMF.
Another option is to press the * four times: a 'w' appears (wait). When the 'w' is reached in the callstring, 'DTMF' appears at the left menu button. When you press the left menu button the mobile starts sending DTMF.
Carkit Programming
If you use a carkit with handsfree AND additional handset, and you want to switch from handset to handsfree:

Press the left menu button, and put the additional handset on hook.
Now you are on handsfree.
Interesting thing to try
As you may know, 2110i supports Call Cost Limit function which means that you can limit the maximum of calls from your phone. This function has a feature that it shows the remaining credits in the third row of the display. It should decrease every time you make a call, but if your operator doesn't support this yet, you can display your phone number or anything else there.

And how to do this? First, go to the "DURATION AND COST" menu. Select "CALL COSTS LIMIT". The phone asks you the PIN2-code, you should get it from your operator. After entering PIN2, select "Set". Phone asks you "Limit:". Enter maximum of seven numbers you want to be visible on display, for example my phone number is 0405100210, so I enter 5100210. So these numbers will be last numbers on display.

And then go to back to the "DURATION AND COST" menu. Select "SHOW COST IN". Enter the PIN2-code. Select "Currency". Enter "Unit price:", I recommend setting it "1". Phone asks you "Currency unit:" Enter the maximum of three numbers or letters or symbols you want to be visible as first numbers/letters/ symbols on display. I entered "040".

Now you are ready. Quit the menu and the number should be on the third row of the display! So, on my display, the last row of the display says 0405100210. It stays there even if you switch off your phone. (Of course it disappears while
you dial a number or use the menu etc.)

<< Anyone know if I can buy an AT&T or Cingular Nokia phone and unlock it and use it for Sprint???? I hope so...please..please please say YES!!

Sprint has one lousy Nokia and I am looking for a nicer one.. >>

NOPE, Different Technology.. Sorry..

Anything for Motorola?

isn't there a different code to unlock each phone, even if it's the same model?

< can sprint phones be unlocked and used with other service providers ? >

Sprint Uses CDMA technology. For CDMA phones the billing system should already be aware of the ESN and the make and the model for activation. CDMA phones also have lock codes.

I don't think verizon will be able to accept a brand new ESN on-the-fly. Even if you provide the lock code.

In order to unlock Nokia 3650 from AT&T, you can get the code here.

I just did and succeeded. Free and easy! Enjoy it!

This is only good if you have a GSM phone - meaning you have a simcard. If you don't know what that is, than don't bother with the post.

Does anyone know how to change the name of my service provider on my Nokia 3360? I've got a friend that has done this but won't show how. Any info would help lol, thanks.
