Your phone is probably sim locked to your previous network. Since your contract is over you should contact me for the code to unrestrict your phone so you can use sim cards from other networks with it.

Actually cjlim meant contact them (your old operator) not him

[cjlim]

Oops, typo..

Since it is a 6230i, I may be able to help you if you PM me.

how do u pm some one?i am new to this site sorry.

[cjlim]

Click on my name and then follow instruction on the next screen.

[cjlim]

Once you get the code, you can enter it as follows:

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 can't get my 3320 to work due to restriction code. I have the same provider. just don't have security code

[grschinon]

Which one is it you don't have, the restriction code or the security code? I think it has been made abundantly clear in this topic that only your operator can help with the restriction code.

If you've lost the lock code and it isn't the default 12345 then you'll have to take your phone and proof of ownership along to a Nokia Care Point for then to reset the code. Back your data up as this might entail wiping the phone's entire memory clean.

thanks, i will do that

hey I broke my phone recently so i dug out an old one, its a Nokia 6085. When i put my old sim in it tells me the phone is restricted and to enter a restriction code but I don't know the restriction code.

[farby]

Sounds like the Phone was Network locked..You will have to contact the Operator with which it was locked to get the Restriction code.
