I recently bought a ST55 but when I switch it on, it's asking me
for the phone code. It's initially 1234 but can range from 4 to 8
digits. Is there any code (ie in the format *00012*12345678#)
that will "unlock" the phone code so I can use it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dee.

The ST55 can be unlocked remotely here , however this won't work for phone codes as these aren't general network locks, rather they have been set by the phones owner to restrict its useage.

The fact that you are being asked for the phone code at start up sugests that someone has locked it to a particular SIM card, without that SIM card you will always be asked for the phonecode at switch on, unless you reset it. Don't try to keep entering the wron code, it'll lock your phone up even more.

Was it a second hand phone by any chance? if it was you are probably best contacting the person you got it from for the code. If its new contact Siemens via www.siemens-mobile.com & they should sort you out.

When you get the code type it in when you switch the phone on, then go into the menu, select settings, select security and change the 'This sim only' setting (you'll need to enter the phone code again. Then select 'Pin Codes' and change the phone code to something only you'll remember.

Hope that helps.
