Merlot Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thanks for coming back so quickly. That doesn't work unfortunately but the phone was my wife's before hand and I wonder if she has changed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Did a bit of lateral thinking and found an old Nokia handset that would accept 12345 to delete the SIM contacts. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Voda wil tell you the PUK code if you ask them. Just keep entering the wrong PIN until the phone locks, and then it will ask for the PUK code to unlock it and then enter a new PIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Dave, the PUK is the code to unblock a simcard where you've tried to enter the wrong unlock code more than 3 times. In this instance the sim card will be blocked and you contact the operator to unblock the sim. However the security code is part of the phones operating system and is a 5 digit number (rather than the 4 digit sim card number) which the phone requires before it allows you to do anything major to wither the phone or sim card. Voda may be able to help with that aswell, but it's not the PUK code. There are also free utilities out there to generate a new security code for the phone if necessary. I think I have a program for the 6230i if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 The security code used to always default to the same number, but IIRC that changed shortly before I left Nokia in 2003 to being a number that varied with the IMEI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlot Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Changed my phone to a Blackberry Pearl 8110 - works brilliantly in my A8 and TT. Full address book, missed calls etc. Can't get my text messages to work on my A8 yet though even though the button is present on the MMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Get the free master reset code from an online vendors like SPAMMERS R US .With the master reset code you can reset your current security code and can assign a new one.To get the code you need to submit the IMEI number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 You do realise that the previous post was nearly 5 YEARS ago - I doubt if Merlot still has the problem :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
