Hi Graham,

Thanks for this.
What's this subsidy pin code you have to enter? Is that specific to T-Mobile or to your IMEI number, or made up from the two?

yes the 6600 should be unlockable , though I am with o2 and phones
from O2 come unlocked.

I did get a 6630 unlocked by T-Mobile.  They could not guarantee the
technique they used would work but it did.  Here is the email.

Dear  Mr Page

Switch the handset on whilst the T-Mobile SIM card is inside the
telephone.

Press the # key once.

Press * key 3 times to display p.

Press * key 4 times to display w.

Press * key twice to display +.

Enter subsidy pin code

263358049427707

Press * key twice to display +.

Press 1.

Press the # key.

The telephone should now acknowledge that the unlocking sequence has
been successful. However should your handset display the message
'CODE ERROR', 'WRONG CODE' etc, please try another network's SIM card
in your handset, to see if the network can be selected, before
calling the number below.

Please be aware that you should make only 3 attempts to unlock the
mobile phone can be made. We are unable to guarantee the mobile
telephone features for use with another service provider.

The 6630is currently under investigation by Nokia.

Hi all,

Well, I want to unlock my mobile for free, which I know is totally
legal, so, do I dare to do it?

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.
Thanks.
