Nokia 6230i unlock procedure

Posted in gadgets, inet, software at 3:22 pm by brainstorm

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!
