Dear Technology
I have a 10 year old dumb phone (keypad phone).
Has anyone unlocked their dumb phone ?
If so, could you tell me how you did it please ?
Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL

if you mean removing a carrier lock, yes I did that. Totally hassle free, it was locked to vodafone germany. I registered the device online, and minutes later any SIM I popped in woked fine
Dear H
Thanks for your reply. That is very interesting.
How did your phone become locked to vodafone germany ?
Could you talk me through the complete process, each step, that resulted in success please ?
Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL
Unfortunately, no. It’s been years since I did this. The phone has been carrier locked by factoria, though.
Thanks H.
I appreciate that it has been a long time.
If I understand correctly, your phone was locked to Vodafone Germany from the very start. Then, some time later you registered your phone on a website, and this action alone freed your phone.
One question : whose website did you register your phone on ?
eg. Phone maker ? Phone seller ? Provider of the SIM card ? other ?
Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL
It was the service providers’ website, vodafone. They had the option to remove the carrier lock for free because the phone was older than 4 years or so.
Thanks H.
So, it was vodafone’s website that you put your data into, to immediately free your more than 4 year old phone.
Am I correct in understanding that vodafone was both the phone seller and the SIM card provider ?
What data did you put into the website please ?
