    Hi, I have a Nokia 1600

    IMEI: 010783006870223

    N1600B V 5.01
    03-24-06
    RH - 65
    (c) NMP
    Language UB

    The phone is bought in North Carolina (Charlotte) and it is locked to NET10 network.

    I found the following unlocked codes from a website:

    #pw+326256542444463+1#
    #pw+248215362654220+2#
    #pw+126194445453703+3#
    #pw+842041267072350+4#
    #pw+955292574304302+5#
    #pw+785540305347453+6#
    #pw+097123310553436+7#

    They recommended that I try the last code first, but it didn't work.

    Every one of them that I entered, I kept getting the "not allowed" massage.

    Can anyone tell me how I can unlock it.

    Thank you very much!

    Codes from the net will not work.

    The net10 service is locked at the sim card and software, in other words the software for the net10 is not supported on any other phone that is unlocked unless it has the net10 software on the phone.

    Thank you for your help. Appreciate it!
    Based on what you said, does it mean that the phone cannot be unlocked in any ways?

    Can be unlocked with hardware but after that will not work with net10.
    The phone cannot be unlocked with codes.

    Can you show the steps how it can be unlocked with hardware or maybe a website explaining how it's done.

    Thank you

    Will have to be directly unlocked by someone with the equipment.
    The best thing to do ,is take the phone to a independent mobile shop to be reset by a professional.

    To get the phone unlocked you will have to de-brand the phone with OEM software then unlock it. (at the same time) When this has been done Net 10 will no longer work in the phone.
