Hi all,

Is it possible to unlock a Nokia 2630 using a code or does it need to be unlocked using hardware. I've received conflicting information online.

I've bought my Dad a 2630 locked to Vodafone for his birthday but I would like to unlock the phone so that he can use his current Virgin sim card.

Many thanks,

Steve.

Might have been a good idea to buy it on the network that you intended to use it?
I think the 2630 needs unlocking with a cable.

'prking' will be along here at some point, and he'll say for sure. Well, he's been right all other times anyway!

Unfortunately Virgin Mobile don't sell the 2630, and I needed to buy one quickly which is why I bought it from my local Vodafone store.

I'm embarassed now!

The 2630 can be unlocked by manufacturer's code (not by code generator) or by hardware unlock at your local market/independent phone shop.

It may well be unlocked though, so its worth trying before shelling out.

Many thanks for your reply, prking.

I've tried the phone with a Virgin SIM but it appears to be locked - it's asking for the unlock code.

Would it be possible for me to unlock the phone myself using the manufacturer code or is this something which is not publicly available?

Steve.
