Unlock Nokia Mobile Phones

Why do I need to unlock a Nokia

You will probably already have a reason for wanting to unlock your phone, but not know the reasons why it came locked in the first place.

As is commonplace in todays mobile industry, we sign up to contracts with certain network providers, agreeing to use their network for 12, 18 or 24 months. In return, we receive a phone for free or a reduced price. In order to stop us from receiving the phone and just using whichever network we decided, the networks "lock" the phone so it can only operate with their SIM cards.

With an unlocked Nokia, you would no longer by subject to those rules. You will however still need to maintain the contract and any payments that come with it.

Benefits of an unlocked Nokia

If your current Nokia isn't accepting the SIM card you want it to, it is likely that the phone is locked, also known as "network locked". By unlocking the phone you will be able to use any SIM card you want. You'll be able to pick and choose between the SIM cards that offer the most minutes, or one where you have free text messaging.

A common reason why people unlock their Nokia mobile phones is because they want to travel internationally and not incur unreasonably high internet roaming charges. An unlocked phone will be able to connect to any GSM network worldwide, offering the opportunity to connect to local networks and only pay local rates.

How to unlock a Nokia

Unlocking a Nokia is simple and 100% legal. Most Nokia models that we have available for unlocking also come with the choice of using an unlock code or easy to use software.

Unlock codes are the most common method for unlocking mobile phones. This is because it can all be done using the handset and inserting a unique code by following step-by-step instructions. Software is also a simple technique, but requires access to a computer. With the software, all you will be required to do is login with username and password supplied by MobileUnlocked and quickly unlock your phone on the computer.

First and foremost, you will have to know your IMEI number, found by simply typing in *#06# on the handset. You will also be required to enter the country where the phone was purchased and network that it is locked to. Once done, you can have your Nokia unlocked in no time at all.

International unlock codes

At MobileUnlocked we are able to supply unlock codes for Nokia mobile phones purchased from nearly all countries in the world. We also have a list of networks corresponding to those countries that our system will instantly tell you whether or not we have a code available for unlocking. As mobile phones are recognised by their IMEI, it doesn't matter where in the world the phone is, it is still easily identified by our system.
