Dean, thanks for that reminder again. Have taken it in this time around ...I'm waiting for Tech Support to come back to me to let me know about the 6630. I'll probably have to go at my own risk, I guess.
Did you have to remove the sim card, by the way? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxxOn Thursday, March 20, 2008 11:30 AM (UK time), Dean Wilcox at wilcoxdean@xxxxxxxxxxx said:
it all went fine with Talks. Importantly though as I may have mentioned in another message, when you put the last digit in Talks didn't say anything for me. I knew the code was entred fully so pressed soft key 1 to ok and the phone restarted. Then I set the time, date and the city, or at least your nearest one and that was that.

Were you able to do it successfully with Talks installed? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx On Wednesday, March 19, 2008 11:17 PM (UK time), Dean Wilcox at wilcoxdean@xxxxxxxxxxx said:This is just a guess but I expect a 6630 to be no problems. I unlocked a 6680 and its a similar kind of handset. They say in the FAQ that they can unlock the majority of phones in today's market and I doubt a Symbian phone would cause problems. If you want to be sure you can contact them at sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hope that helps Dean At 22:02 19/03/2008, you wrote:Dean, I agree, that's a wonderfully simple site and they do all the work in providing the unlock code after a simple form; but I don't see anywhere that they put any restrictions, say, on the 6630 and other newer phones, as I've seen today elsewhere. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way of getting in touch with them, except by completing this form and paying your money. Shame! I probably would have paid this amount if I could have been sure of a good result! <Smiles> -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx On Wednesday, March 19, 2008 4:55 PM (UK time), Dean Wilcox at wilcoxdean@xxxxxxxxxxx said:This might not be everyones cup of tea but last week I decided to unlock my Nokia 6680 online. I used Wireless Unlocks at: http://www.wirelessunlocks.co.uk/ for just £4.80 including VAT. I sent my info at about 5 in the evening so wasn't surprised to have to wait til the next morning for my unlock code, maybe if you ask earlier in the day you will get it that day too. The instructions were fine and I got the code to work first time. As for unlocking yourself in general, once I typed in the code the phone must display a success message and ask ok to restart. Well Talks doesn't seem to be alive at this point so if you put in a code and it all goes dead after the last letter of the code, push soft key one and hopefully your phone will restart like mine. Then just set your nearest city, time and date and your away.

He unlocks phones of all shapes and sizes for £10. From what I know, it doesn't cause any problems for TALKS, but does invalidate your warranty if it is under a year old. I'm sure Nutty will let you know more though, and will only be too willing to correct me if I'm wrong. (big smile.)

First, has anyone done it themselves? If so, will it work still using TALKS? Second, I've looked at the following sites http://www.trycktill.com/eng/ http://unlock.nokiafree.org/ and http://www.unlockitfree.com/ All their methods vary a little. It seems that some talk about removing the sim card, whilst the others do not. Others will unlock anything - but then I read that the Nokia 6630 cannot be unlocked because it is a "BB5" model. This restricts the phone and cannot be unlocked via code or cable. Apparently I can only have this done via my mobile provider (costing about £30 I think)! Well, if anyone knows any different, please let me know. It seems though that I could do our 6600, if I'm daring enough ... Any comments (particularly experiences) most welcome.
