Hi, I unlocked a nokia mobile today, a 3310, (very retro), the thing is, it says phone restrictions off, but when i put in any simcard (not 3) it won't load, (sim card not accepted), can anyone help please.

It's a Vodafone Nokia 3310.

Does it need to be hard unlocked (cable unlocked)?

Thank you.

Does it still accept an old Vodafone SIM?

If not then chances are its a hardware problem and its fit for the bin also some of these older handsets are having issues accepting modern SIM's due to firmware limitations.

I don't know as it was purchased without a simcard in it.

The simcard I am trying to put into it is from another Nokia 3310 so it's not a modern simcard.

which unlock code did you use

one that looks like this code 5:
#pw+795840211370240+5#

if so try code 7
#pw+892441311066646+7#

(not those actual codes, just ones that look like them)

Hi, I tried code 1, it said the restrictions were off, so it should be unlocked shouldn't it?

I can't edit the above post, but I've just fixed it,
