How to enter the SP (Service Provider) unlock code for Nokia phones:
Before you try to enter any unlocking codes, please make sure the SIM card is removed.
You will enter the unlock codes using
the keypad (press the * key few times will give you p and w):
Use the unlock code you are provided in the email only. The codes shown below is only for example and will not work with your phone. Do not attempt to use them. Each phone requires a unique code based on its IMEI number. Keep in mind that, you have a maximum of five attempts before the phone refuses to accept any code, even correct ones. T-Mobile 6030 has only three attempts.
Enter #pw+MasterCode+1#
Example:
#pw+000000353146677+1#
If it is successful, it should show "Phone Restriction Off". You don't need do anything else, the service provider restriction has been removed.
Otherwise, it may show "Code Error", "Phone Restriction ON". If you see one of these errors, stop and contact us for an alternative code. Some phones are restricted with a variable and the standard code generation may fail. Hence, it can take more than one try. Although most phones can be unrestricted on the first attempt.
If you see the message "Cannot Undo Restriction". It means you have entered the correct code but your phone has exceeded its maximum allowed entries for unlock code. This happens often with second hand phones.
In this case, you should contact one of the locations near you offering unlocking services and arrange to have your phone unlocked in store. This is the only way to reset your phone using a professional service equipment.
