Nokia 3230
is a GSM phone that can be unlocked in a number of ways. The advantage of having an unlocked phone is that you aren't charged for roaming charges when you travel to off-network destinations. Additionally, unlocking increases the handheld's resale value. While a locked phone will primarily lure buyers who're willing to use the phone with the existing network, an unlocked phone gets the attention of cellphone buyers from around the globe as they can easily use their local GSM network carriers with the phone without a hassle.
Instructions
1. Try to get your Nokia 3230 unlocked for free. Some websites, such as Unlock.Nokiafree, offer to unlock Nokia 3230 for free. Provide the website with your cellphone ID, which is the unique IMEI number of your phone. Look for the IMEI written underneath your phone's battery or press "*#06#" on using your phone's keypad to retrieve the IMEI. The website will generate several unlock codes that you can try on your phone. Do not attempt to unlock using more than three different codes or your phone will get permanently locked. If three attempts don't get your phone unlocked, move to the next steps that are guaranteed to work.
2. Get your 3230 unlocked through carrier. Carriers are willing to provide users with the unlock codes, so long as they're not under some form of contract with the company. Depending on your carrier's policy, you may get the unlock code for a fee or totally free, if you're under contract with the provider.
3. Request the unlock code from a phone unlocking company. Phone unlockers will charge anywhere between $5 to $15 for unlocking Nokia 3230. You should get the unlock code for this device instantly after you provide the website with your carrier name and phone's IMEI number.
