Nokia 6230i unlock procedure

January 21st, 2006 | Uncategorized

I’ve recently acquired a nokia 6230i cellphone but it’s locked for my provider: amena… but hey, good news, I can unlock it for free The reason of this post is twofold:

Give thanks to 3DES for his short but informative post about that matter
The procedure required to unlock nokia 6230i differs from what’s advised on the web: you have to keep your SIM inserted on the phone while executing the procedure, do not remove it beforehand !

Just wanted to document that issue that kept me trying and reading recipes for a while.

Interesting…..although you will find that your link you have mentioned does not even offer the option for a Nokia 6230i??

You can use 6230 (without “i”), it worked the same for me

Brainstorm is right with the SIM card. However this is valid for some Nokia 6230i only (software of the phone maybe different and provider dependent). Esp company / business phones where company has specific provider contract behave like this.

Alex is right with the code link! Trust the russians

I used the russian site ’cause the first didn’t work…..I did not put the sim card and the code worked! I’m unlocked! Thanks dude!

Yup – go with the link in the first post, but leave your sim-card in. Works like a charm.
Thanks so much!

Found an old 6230i locked on T-mobile and went to the nokiafree.org site. Worked a treat! I put an Orange Sim Card in, the phone said “Phone Restricted”, and I pressed “undo”, then entered code #5 (the whole line, from # to #) and hey presto, “Phone Unrestricted”!!!!

I reccomend the website that other guy suggested,
http://xsms.com.ua/phone/splock
Worked on the second code for me, and easier to understand, if your browser can translate from russian!
