||||| Service Locks ||||
There are 9 Lock codes that apply to
your phone and SIM card.
Locks on your SIM Card
Your SIM
card has 4 codes PIN 1 and PIN 2 are four to 8 didgits and are user set (you
can change them). the main use for PIN 1 is to protect your phone from being
used after it has been stolen. after pin 1 is enabled the handset will ask for
it every time the phone is powered up. PIN 2 is for setting restricted use For
example if you issued your company staff phones you could lock the phones to
only be able to dial 10 numbers or numbers less than 10 didgits long. PUK 1 and
2 are the master codes for PIN 1 and 2. These are factory set and can not be
changed. PUK codes are available from your network or service provider.
Locks on your Phone
There are
two "lock codes" on your phone a 4 to 10 didgit user set lock code and a 10
didgit master code. The lock code can lock your phone so it asks for the code
at power on and also lock to your SIM. If you set the phone to lock to the SIM
the phone will only accept your SIM enless you enter the code. The master code
can be obtained from nokia in the UK by faxing the imie number to them with
your name address and a return fax number. Be warned the faxes are often
unreadable. Tampering with the internals of the phone sometimes will lock your
phone permenantly!!!!!!.
Service Provider Locks
These
are the holy grail of codes. Orange, One2One and Virgin Lock all there phones
to only accept there respective SIM cards. This code is an algorythm of the
phones imie and the network ID 234-NN for uk networks. The 234 is the UK and
The NN is 15 for Vodafone and the others see on the
Service Provider Code
List.
