Hi,
Anybody knows the "special secret code" to unlock Fido's T68i?
[start clip]
The instructions is as follows but I have no idea what the code is:
To activate/deactivate this lock one needs a special secret code that is not available to the end user.
Here is how to activate the menu:
<**< Lock to Network? if pressing yes you have 5 attempts to enter NCK.
<**<< Lock to Network subset? if pressing yes you have 5 attempts to enter NSCK.
Warning: Your phone can be locked to a service provider FOREVER by doing this! If an invalid code is entered all five times, the menu will exit and be deactivated! Any further attempt to activate the NCK/NSCK lock Menu will result in the response "Not allowed"! However the NCK/NSCK lock can be recover through a direct clearing in the EEPROM.

Thanks! |

call your network provider.... as already said, each phone has it's own unique unlock code based on the IMEI number. |

Yep, phone your network and ask for it, it'll cost you about 20 quid tho.

Will my provider be willing to give out those codes? I mean, if the locks are there to deter changing of providers, would they really tell me the codes? Is there a swift way of asking for those codes without being too blunt like "arr... I'm going to change providers, so gimme my codes?" Thanks |

I just called fido on my lunch hour and they told me that it'll cost me $250CDN to get those codes. It's outrageous. Apparently I can see why they would not give it to me if I'm a new subscriber. Considering I've been with them for 4 years and I've bought a few phones from them: nokia8890, ericsson t28w, sonyericsson t68i and sonyericsson p800; (I should add that my nokia8890 and t28w were never locked). I'm quite disappointed. I pay full price for the phones and yet they're locked. |
