Hi,

I'm not so sure about this so somebody correct me if i am wrong. I think if you enter the wrong unlock code a certain amount of times the only way to unlock it after that is with a cable. This may be the problem in your case.

Maybe next time not all in capitals?

I don't think so. You may have to get it unlocked with a cable by taking it into a shop unless somebody corrects me - I'm still unsure about what I said.

It has a standard MBUS port underneath the battery, like all other Nokias.

Get yourself down your local market, pay the guy a tenner.

Or you could have the shop where you baught it flash it for you. then i think you could try again.
