hi- could you please provide me with SIM unlock code for: Nokia: 8290 IMEI: 010070303206826 Network: VoiceStream Country: USA
[bold] #pw+7259781316+1# [/bold] Your code:Try this ONCE and ONCE only. Remember, you only get 3 to 5 tries. [bold]If you enter the same code two times[/bold], that is [bold]two tries.[/bold] To enter code: Make sure battery is charged. Remove SIM first. Power on. Ignore “Insert SIM” Press the # key. then press the "star" key (*) quickly to get the P and W and + Press * 3 times quickly for (p) \ Press * 4 times quickly for (w) IMPORTANT Press * 2 times quickly for (+) / and the rest of the code--- Begin with # and end with #. IMPORTANT!! Verify code before pressing the last #. Pay attention. You only have about two seconds. "Phone restrictions off", it's unlocked. "Error code" wrong code. STOP tell me. "Not allowed" or "Can Not Undo Restriction" it's hard locked. Used up all your free tries!! If nothing happens, code stays on the screen: Put in a NEW SIM from a new Network. Power on. Select UNDO with NEW SIM in phone. Enter code as above. Select OK. If it does not work, tell me: What happened? What message you got. What codes you tried. Above all, answer. JG
Hi Joe First of all, thank you so much for offering to help and your instructions were easy to understand. i followed them and go the following message: "Sim Was Not Restricted" I then put in a new sim card and it states following message: SIM Card not accepted. I assume this means that it's hard locked? what are your suggestions? thanks roger
No. I do not think it is hardlocked. You must activate the SIM with the Network. Try a SIM that is working in another phone. J
Hi Joe- i tried inputting another working SIM and it reads "Sim Not Accepted". However, when i put in the SIM that originally came with the phone it works fine. I remember when i ordered this service it was through a company called WorldCom who was reselling service on cingulars network. now it gets a little complicated because on the phone and on the original box the phone came with says Voicestream. I am in California region (SF bay area it that helps in figuring out the code or problem). thanks for your help and any advice would be appreciated. thanks roger
What SIM are you trying to use. This is an old phone and will not accept the new smart SIMs. You need to use a "Basic" Standard SIM. Voicestream is on the T-Mobile Network.
Hi Joe thanks for the info i now understand the issue from what you stated. the 8290 will not work on new smart sims. thats unfortunate but i do appreciate your assistance. kind regards, roger
