Unlock a Nokia 2730
When you first purchase a Nokia 2730 mobile phone, it is locked to a single network. The only way to unlock the phone and allow it to connect to any network you want is to get an unlock code. One way to get a code is to ask for one from your phone's carrier. If they do not give one to you, you can purchase one from a website. Either way, you need to find the phone's International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number.
Instructions
Unlock Through Carrier
1. Type "*#06#" on the 2730's keypad to bring its IMEI number up on the display.
2. Call your phone's carrier. Provide them with your phone's IMEI number and request an unlock code. They may not provide you with a code.
3. Remove the battery pack and SIM card from your 2730. Reinsert the battery pack (but not the SIM card) and turn the phone on.
4. Type "#pw+CODE+1#" on the phone's keypad (where "CODE" is the unlock code given to you by your phone's carrier). Press the "*" key twice quickly to get "+" to appear on the screen. Press "*" three times quickly to get "p" to appear and press "*" four times quickly to get "w" to appear.
5. Look at the display and see if "SIM Restriction Off" appears. The phone is unlocked.
