Nokia 6230i unlock procedure
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

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