How to unlock N80 currently on 3 - HELP

[spacon]

Hello everyone.

HELP HELP!!

Does anyone know how I can unlock my N80 locked to 3 recently purchased as second hand?

I have searching around for the last couple of weeks and have spoken to a number of mobile shops, no one appears to have the software to do it

I checked with 3 network and they told me the 'owner' of the handset need to request before they can realise the code to them.

Any ideas?

I think you are out of luck unless you can get hold of the original owner and ask them to get the unlock code for you, or you can prove to 3 that you are now legally the owner and that you bought the phone from a 3 owner (still not sure if that will work though).

The only way to unlock the N80 is by the operator at the moment there is no other way,

I found this site which pretends to be able to unlock them, you might want to give them a try, although i think they're a bit expensive: http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/nokia...uk-p-1372.html

Let us know if you do.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to unlock any BB5 Nokia phone, including the N80, unless the Network who sold the phone supplies the code.

The link is worthless!

You can unlock a Nokia N80 safer and easier using unlock code. You can get the unlock code for your Nokia N80 either from your network provider or from any reliable online source. For example you can get the unlock code for a Nokia N80 from www.superunlockcodes.com/nokia-n80/rs12wp9/ at low cost.
Here are the steps for unlocking a Nokia N80,
1 - Switch on your Nokia N80 without any sim card.
2 - Don't bother as to what is displayed on your Nokia N80.
3 - Compose #pw+CODE+1#.
4 - The Nokia N80 would then display the message "SIM Restriction Off" and will be unlocked!
