You need to get the code from Virgin which will cost you £35........although if you go to a phone stall on the market they can usually do it for you alot cheaper or even you could do it yourself with a data cable!

does anyone know the restriction code for a 8310 on virgin

lee18xx · 20-08-2003, 20:13

The unlock code is dependant on your IMEI number (serial number of the phone)

fsollof · 20-08-2003, 20:29

if i have the imei number can i get the code

Alright mate, if you e-mail me your imei number and what network it is locked to, i have an unlock code generator that should work on an 8310.

This will be funny...

There is no such thing as a generator for a DCT3 phone. You most probably have a DCT4 code gen.

as a general note... DCT4 are the newer phones with GPRS and Java etc.

(At the time of writing, there was speculation a DCT3 code gen existed.. but people are keeping it close wraps.. if u have one.. please contact me

)

I always thought the 8310 was DCT4

i thought that if you were on virgin and u had spent over £30 or something lyk tht, then they would unlok your fone 4 free? or was this just a limited special offer?

Yes, thats what i thourght two.

Once you have topped with a total of £30+ since you bourght your phone. They would unlock for free.

PWP · 21-08-2003, 09:18

Yes that is right because I unlocked mine for free

syphon · 21-08-2003, 11:17

Go here and download the software so that you can do it for free. All you need to do is enter your IMEI and your network provider and it will give you the code to enter so that your phone will be unlocked.

Luke567 · 21-08-2003, 12:07

Yes thats a DCT4 calc...

WTF?! it lists 8310 as DCT4... thats surely wrong!

PerryTech · 21-08-2003, 16:05
