Nokia 5230 Unlocked With Unlock Code
Review released on December 8th, 2009 by Derek
An unlocked Nokia 5230 will work on any phone network. Unlocking a Nokia 5230 with an unlock code only takes a few steps. This Nokia unlock guide contains free instructions to unlock your Nokia 5230 as well as some methods to get a free unlock code. Let’s get started!
All GSM or SIM based Nokia 5230 phone’s come with a SIM lock be default that prevents them from being used with other phone carriers. The instructions in this article will remove that SIM lock. However, in order to use these instructions you will need an unlock code for your 5230. Fortunately, many phone carrier’s such as AT&T as well as T-Mobile will give you a free unlock code if you call up their support line and request one. In exchange they will request your Nokia 5230′s IMEI number which you can attain by typing *#06# on your phone. Once you have your free unlock code you can use the following steps to get your very own Nokia 5230 unlocked!
How To Unlock Nokia 5230
1. Power on your Nokia 5230
2. Type #PW+UNLOCKCODE+1# (Where UNLOCKCODE is your unlock code you acquired earlier)
3. Your Nokia 5230 phone should say “SIM Restriction Off”

Getting a free code from your carrier doesn't always work. Alternatively, I recommend this unlock service when trying to find an unlock code. If they do not support your cell phone then you can also try this website that supports tons of specific phone models.

Hi,
I;m trying to unlock my mobile, but when i go to the dial pad i don’t get any letters. So, I can’t follow the steps sugested.
I’m going to the dial pad just pressing telephone, or just pressing the green bottom.

Hi, a friend of mine recently sent me a Nokia 5230 mobile from UK , problem is that it is locked to the UK network . I need help to unlock it so I can use it in Malawi, everytime i put in my zain/tnm sim card it displays “unrecognised sim card”. Please help me. My Phone Code is:0596129 and My IMEI Number is:359351037530338
@Allen, can you have your friend call up his phone carrier from the UK for you and request an unlock code? If not then you can try this website to get an unlock code for it that will allow you to use other SIM cards like the one you have. Good luck!
