Australian Phones are the most difficult ones I have come across.
There seems to be a general difficulty with Australia.
Each phone is allowed only a few tries before it is hard locked.
3 to 5 tries. It still works but you will need a cable and a thing-a-me-giggy to unlock it.
It will STILL WORK on the original Network.
The problem is that people who have requested codes have not always replied after getting the codes.
Remember that each phone uses a unique code.
These Codes are based on the Network codes and a security code. That combination of codes is what we need to calculate the code.
It is important that I know if the phone returns an error message when a code is entered.
I can give you a code that I would expect to work. It may not work however. If you would like to try a free solution you can try the Code I give you or you can take it to your local Phone repair professional and have it done. If you have tried any codes, I need to know what code and how many times you have tried. If you try the same code twice, that is two tries.
Quote:Make/model phone: Nokia 1600
IMEI #: 357071002915205
Country the phone is locked in: Australia
Provider the phone is locked to: Vodafone
Did you check with IMEI: *#06# ,Firmware Version: *#0000# .
Is this correct?
Try this ONCE and ONLY ONCE and let us know if it works.

Remove sim first,power on the phone.
After the phone boots up, press #
Press * 3 times fast for (p) \
Press * 4 times fast for (w) IMPORTANT
Press * 2 times fast for (+) /
and the rest of the code---
IMPORTANT!! Verify code before pressing the last #.
Pay attention. You only heve about two seconds.
Note: Some Phones require that you to insert a non accepted sim, you will see "phone restricted", press UNDO option and enter the code in the restriction box and press enter.)
"Phone restrictions off", it's unlocked.
"Error code" wrong code.STOP tell me.
"Not allowed" or "Can Not Undo Restriction" it's hard locked. Used up all your free tries!!
DO let us know if this works. Help us provide a better service.
