Unlock Nokia E71x for free
Review released on September 29th, 2009 by Derek
Unlocking a Nokia E71x for free only takes a few steps. Before you can unlock your Nokia E71x you will need an unlock code. You can get your unlock code for free by calling AT&T support (1-800-331-0500) and ask for an unlock code, they will request your Nokia E71x’s IMEI number in exchange. Type *#06# and hit enter to get your phone’s IMEI number. Once you have your free unlock code from AT&T you are ready to begin unlocking. If you are looking for the Nokia E71 unlock guide, go here.
Warning: Entering in 3 or more incorrect unlock codes on your Nokia E71x could permanently lock it!
How To Unlock Nokia E71x
1. Type #PW+unlockcode+1# (Where unlockcode is your 8-digit unlock code you recieved from AT&T)
2. Your Nokia E71x should say “SIM Restriction Off”
The steps above are based on my Nokia unlock guide. If these steps didn’t work on your phone, then you may have to look for GSM unlocking software or some other method. Hope this helps!
Update: If you want to learn more about how to unlock any AT&T phone besides the E71X, check out this new phone guide!

Get a Nokia E71x Unlock Code
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.

Great tutorial but few problems,
1. the ATT support number is incorrect
2. when you come to the option of #PW+ the phone does not do anything
3. when you call ATT they dont have the unlock code in their system, they have to file a case to get the code, which usually takes 5-7 days to get the case resolved, good part is, they dont ask any questions and they will email the code right to your email.
Thanks hash! I changed the AT&T support number to their current working one. Furthermore, once you type in #PW+ nothing is supposed to respond you just continue by typing in your unlock code next and then followed by the +1#. So all in all it should look like this: #PW+unlockcode+1#
Hope this helps and good luck with unlocking your Nokia E71x!
Hash, were you able to unlock your phone using this procedure. I suppose I do not mind waiting a week for the code. Also, can you guys use the wifi for free (that ATT so conviniently locked)? Thanks
Hello!!!
I need to unlock my new E71x to use it with other SIMs , i had this phone as a present from US and i cant use it with my local networks. I cant call AT&T since i am in albania , IS THERE any other way of getting the security code? I have been searching all day and i found out a way using a calculator of PM files , does this works?
And how do i writte #PW+unlockcode+1# ?
unclock code means adding 1 to the number or just literaly writting +1?
THanks in advance!
