SIM card not accepted on an unlocked phone
That Bloke
27-03-2007
Hi,

I've got an old 6210e that I want to use with my car kit, but it is was locked to Orange and my work phone is O2.

I unlocked it using a code off the interwebbernet, and it told me that the restriction had been removed.

I excitedly (well, maybe not quite...) put my O2 sim in, and it is still telling me that the SIM card is not accepted.

OK, I though, maybe the code just didn't accept properly, so I tried a code from another source and entered that instead. It told me that the SIM card restriction wasn't there. I still have the same problem with both my O2 and Virgin SIMs.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the problem for me here? All advice gratefully recieved!!

Are you entering the unlock code with a new network SIM?

Some old Nokias require that you leave the current SIM card in the phone when you input the code

Thanks ram33, I found one literally 2 mins ago . It's now unlocked using one of the download gens rather than the online ones which only give you the first code.

I thought I was going mad!!
