How can I unlock my Nokia 5800 EM locked into Virgin Mobile in the UK?
Hi there.
Firstly, remember that unlocking your phone might void your warranty, if you have one.
That said, the first thing to try is to contact your service provider and ask for an unlock code.
Usually, if you've been a customer of theirs for some time, they will
provide you with an unlock code and instructions for free. This is, by far, the best way
to get your phone unlocked.
Alternatively you could go to this site and buy the unlock code. Select your make / model in the drop-downs an enter the information requested. You'll need your IMEI code for this step. To find this, type *#06# on your phone.
Once you've received the unlock code, enter #pw+<UNLOCK_CODE>+1#
-The letter p appears if you press the button star(*) three times
quickly
-The letter w appears if you press the button star(*)
four times quickly
-The symbol + appears if you press the
button star(*) two times quickly
Once you have finished entering a code that works you should see a
message that says "Restriction off". The message
"Cannot undo restrictions" means the phone is "hard-locked" and cannot
be unlocked by code.
Good luck,
-LL
