Very important! Check this before you enter the unlock code!!!

For Nokia, you only have 3 attempts at entering correct unlock code in Phones. When someone has tried to enter an incorrect unlock code 3 times or more (usually by trying to use codes generated by a free calculator they have found on the internet), the phone locks out any further attempts, and it stops anyone entering the correct code. Use this service to reset the code attempt counter on any nokia BB5 phone. Once reset you can unlock your Nokia with Correct Code ! Even if you now have the correct code, when you enter it into the phone, it will display "Not Allowed" or "Code Error" or "Cannot undo restriction" the services below will reset your phone and allow entry of correct code, enabling a successful unlock.

IMPORTANT: This page contains instructions for checking if the counter has been blocked on your phone before you order a Nokia unlock code from us.

Changing to Local Mode:

To check the lock status, your phone has to be in Local Mode. Please follow this procedure after starting the software.

4. Press Scan in the Phone Info page to connect to the phone.
5. Select the Local option box and press 'Change'

6. Wait for the phone to re-boot and show 'Local' on its screen.
7 . Unplug and plug again the USB cable, wait the beep from Windows

Checking the Simlock Status:

Press 'Read' in the Simlocks Page in the Security Menu to see the Sim Locks status.

If your key code count reads 3 then the phone is blocked and to unlock the phone you will have to pay for the ask file to be calculated (follow rest of instructions, and order from site).

If your key code count reads 0 or 1 or 2 then the phone is not blocked and you can order an unlock code as you have at least 1 attempt to unlock the phone, our codes are 100% correct and you will only need 1 attempt.
