CHECK SIM-LOCK
Note - If you
bought your Nokia on UK Vodafone or UK Cellnet you do not need to check this
because they both transmit on GSM900, and they don't lock the phones.
However if you bought your phone on UK Orange or UK One2one your phone may
be blocked. The reason is that they both transmitt on GSM1800. To make a
call on GSM1800 you need what is known as a "Dual band" phone. A dual band
phone is able to transmit on both GSM900 and GSM1800, so they lock the
phones so you can't use it with any other network simcard. If you find that
your phone is locked you can try different software to unlock it. (we havn't
found one that works yet), or you can ask your service provider who will
gladly exchange the 10 digit code for about £35.
This is how to check
the status of the 4 different locks. Aslo don't try entering the wrong
number, because after 3 times it will block the phone for good.
There are 4 different
locks on your Nokia phone.
-
COUNTRY-LOCK
-
NETWORK-LOCK
-
PROVIDER-LOCK
-
SIMCARD-LOCK
The code to read out
the sim-lock status of your phone is
#PW+(MASTERCODE)+(Y)#
The master code is a
secret code. The code has 10 digits, To read out the sim-lock status you can
enter every combination you want!
"Y" Shows the status
of the network-lock. Here you can enter a number from "1" to "4". The "4" is
for the sim-card lock.

Revealing the Headphone and
Car-Kit menus
Please note that if
you do these next tricks, the new menus can't be erased without retoring the
factory default settings. To do these tricks you need to short-circuit the
pins on the bottom of the phone next to where you plug in you charger.
1. To activate the
"Headset" menu, you need to short-circuit pins "3" and "4". After a short
time the word "Headset" will be shown in the display. Menu 3-6 is now
enabled.
2. To activate the
"Car" menu, you need to short-circuit pins "4" and "5". After a short time
the word "Car" will be shown in the display. Menu 3-7 is now enabled.

JAMES BOND TRICK
If you
short-circuit the left middle and right pins on the bottom of the phone with
all connections touching each other, the Nokia software hangs! The profile
"Headset" will be activated. Before you do this just activate the "Automatic
Answer" in the headset profile and set the ringing volume to "Mute". Now you
can use your phone for checking out what people are talking about in a room.
Just place it under a table in a room and call it. The phone receives the
call without ringing and you can listen to what people are saying.
