You have the ability to unlock your Nokia 6280 mobile phone connected to a 3G network by getting an unlock code. One way of getting an unlock code is by contacting your phone's carrier. If that does not work out, you can purchase a code from a website that sells codes. Whichever option you choose, you need to know the phone's International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number.
Instructions
1. Enter in "*#06#" on the 6280's keypad to bring up its IMEI number.
2. Get in touch with your phone's carrier and give them your phone's IMEI number. Ask for an unlock code, keeping in mind that they may not give you one. If they do not, purchase one from a website that sells unlock codes. (See Resources for links.)
3. Remove the phone's battery pack and its subscriber identity module (SIM) card. Reinsert the battery pack (but do not reinsert the SIM card) and turn the phone on.
4. Dial "#pw+CODE+1#" on the phone's keypad (where "CODE" is the unlock code you received from the representative). Press the "*" key twice quickly to get "+" to appear on the display. Press "*" three times quickly to get "p" on the screen. Press "*" four times quickly to get "w" to appear.
5. Look at the display. It should read "SIM Restriction Off."
