Page 1 of Nokia 1100 - Unlock code required

Guys (& gals)

Just bought a new mobile phone for my Grandmother...one of the PAYG Nokia 1100 on the Virgin network (£20 would you believe!).

Anyway, I want to put her O2 SIM into the phone, but obviously need to unlock the phone first.

However, I`ve tried two codes (7th & 5th) using the DCT4 Calculator (v1.4) and it failed both times. (For info no SIM was in the phone when trying it).

Anyone got some advice on it?

Cheers
Miles

The crux unlocker I use has 2 options for the Nokia 1100

1100a (RH-18 RH-38)

or

1100b (RH-36)

I don`t know what the difference between the 2 is. I can email the unlocker to you if you want?

go to www.trycktill.com and follow the instructions. Never had a problem yet and have unlocked about 15-20 handsets this way

edit: meant to say that you need to click on the litlle union jack as the site is actaully scandinavian.

Wedge - thanks for the site

Gordy - I`d appreciate the crux unlocker - PM me with it if that`s OK?
Edit- don`t worry Gordy, I downloaded it already (Thanks anyway!)

I`ve now tried to unlock it 5 times, so I think that`s game over for unlocking trials.
Ah well, Grandma will just have to use a Virgin mobile instead of the O2 one :D

Cheers guys

A bit late I know Miles but I managed to unlock a virgin nokia 1100 using the software I mentioned above.

There is an option for Virgin - SPECIAL CODE that done the trick. :)

Are you sure you had 5 goes at it? If not you may still be able to unlock yours.

Thanks Gordy, I thought I`d tried the "Virgin - SPECIAL CODE" one and still no joy.
I`ve given it to my grandmother now who seems to be chuffed with it, so alls well that ends well!

Cheers again

Anyone else wanting to do this, there are some good instructions on rpoints telling you exactly what to put in all the boxes.

1. go to www.trycktill.com/eng/unlock_swe.asp
2. click the Union Flag at the bottom of the page
3. select Brand Nokia then Model 1100 then Country United Kingdom
4. for network select `Manual ¦ Enter Manual`
5. enter your IMEI (its printed on the phone where the battery goes or type *#06# on your nokia phone)
6. network is 23400001
7. Boxserial is 33552 ¦ Griffin Clip (v3)
8. check the tickbox and press Generate Code
9. enter the #pw+*********+7# code (so the last one in the list)
10. if that fails try the +1 code (the first one) but the +7 code always works first time for me.

Would it be possible for you to help me unlock my Nokia 1100, to enable my mobile to accept any network sim card.

My IMEI : 355398001177780
Network: Virgn (PAYG)
Country: England
Model: Nokia 1100

If you are able to send me an unlock code, what do I do with It (ie..where should it be entered).
I also noticed that yuo referred to a special code for unlocking virgin mobiles. I am concerned that you only get 5 attempts.

My email is sttonynot[at]moc.liamtoh

I would be most grateful

Best Regards

Tony

I unlocked mine by following the instructions above. It is very simple to do if you put the settings above into the site given. Ps, some people say it`s not a good idea to publically post your IMEI, don`t know if this is so.

*edit*

#pw+395536120060553+1#
#pw+006543335120564+2#
#pw+831001166635721+3#
#pw+790200027507523+4#
#pw+805541030030366+5#
#pw+946682075141303+6#
#pw+345746075062260+7#

Try 7 first, then 1 if that doesn`t work. I can`t guarantee these work, but this is what I got from the site I posted above.

I have followed this procedure, but got ` code error` message` on tow occasions. I used the seventha and then the first, but failed. I am concerned that I am using my limited attempts. Any advice?
