Nokia Mobile Phone Unlock & Feature codes

These codes will work on most Nokia Mobile Phones to activate/deactivate advanced hidden functions that you can’t change through the phone menu

One useful function that all Nokia’s I’ve owned have is “Cell Info Display” which can usually be found in the phones “Display settings” (eg: in a Nokia 1600) or “Phone Settings” (eg: in a Nokia 3315)

If your network supports it, when “Cell Info Display” is enabled, it will display the name of the base station your mobile is currently connected to on the screen eg: when i’m walking around the city it says “Sydney CBD” and when i’m at home it displays the name of my suburb.

Note:
To display “p” press “*” three times within one second, To display “w” press “*” four times within one second, To display “+” press twice “*” within less than a second

To exit this mode you need to switch your phone off then on again SIM was not restricted – appears if the handset has not been locked to a network. You should be able to use any SIM card in this handset.

Not allowed – If the syntax while entering the unlock password is incorrect, nothing happens. If you have tried to unlock the phone 5 times with an incorrect password any further attempts to unlock the phone will generate this message. The phone will need to be electronically unlocked at a Nokia service centre.

Note: There are dozens of different nokia phones, some of the codes above work on some phones and not on others.

Please don’t post your phone’s IMEI number in a comment or email me for unlock codes as all the information I can offer has been given in this blog entry.

NOTE: There are many websites and applications which claim to generate unlocking codes for nokia phones for free, I don’t know if they work but you can certainly try them at your own risk:
