With an Unlock Code
Contact your service provider. Usually, if you've been a customer of theirs for some time, they will provide you with an unlock code for free. This is, by far, the best way to get your phone unlocked. After you connect with your provider follow what they say to unlock.
Turn on your phone with no SIM card inside. To determine how to remove the SIM card of your particular model, reference your user manual. Enter your PIN number if you are prompted. For newer models, simply insert a new SIM card and enter your unlock code. You can find this by using easily downloaded software. If you have unlocked your device correctly, you will see "SIM restriction off" on your screen. If you are using an older model, proceed to the next step.
Key in the following code: # PW + unlock code + 7#. Enter the P by tapping the * three times. Enter the W by tapping the * four times. Enter the + by tapping the * twice. If that code doesn't work, try replacing the "7" in the code with a "1."
Unlock your Nokia device. If you have unlocked your phone correctly, then "SIM restriction off" will appear on your screen.
With Software
Download software to generate the unlocking code. If you cannot get your unlock code from your service provider, software is available on online for free. UnlockMe and Nokia Unlock Calculator are recommended options.
Enter your information on their website. If you choose Nokia Unlock Calculator, simply input your information and then select "Get Unlock Code" at the bottom of the page. Once you have retrieved your personal unlock code, you can go on to unlock your device.
Insert a new SIM card in your phone. Once you have done so, key in your unique unlock code and then select "OK." If you have unlocked your phone correctly, then "SIM restriction off" will appear on your screen.
