Hi all, Im about to purchase this on Orange at the carphonewarehouse
Nokia 1661 on Orange Pay As You Go - The Carphone Warehouse

I intend to use it as a spare phone ie: if my phone ever needs repairs(like it does now!) Just wondering if there's any way I can unlock this for free via the use of software?

If not, then I suppose its only a fiver to unlock, and I've technically only bought it for £5

Thanks

You could try this (assuming that model is DCT4).

The thing about codes is that they aren't always likely to work. Also, is it three times before your phone completely locks you out?

i have done 8 of them all work good.

you can put code in 3 4 5 6 times, what ever it will not lock it... they are so easy 2 do...

10 DCT-4 phones or 10 1661's ? I won't also mind trying this on my Nokia 5800 Xpress in the future when selling it off, if you get three tries!

I bought the mobile today, and also a £10 Orange top up, considering thats what was needed before the phone was available to purchase. The phone, however was already sim free, meaning I won't have to void my warranty in order to unlock it

2 years warranty on a £5 phone-not bad

all phones bought in carphonewarehouse are sim free mate

waqasahmed · 20-10-10, 07:40 PM

I thought it may be locked to Orange, considering if I bought it with a T-Mobile/O2 sim, it would cost more

So not bad for a fiver!
