I have a nokia 6500s and it was a contract with free mobile and i need to unlock it so i can use a vodafone sim card,any ideas?

You can get the unlock code for your Nokia 6500S from www.unlocking4u.com/nokia-6500s/rs6wp9/ at affordable cost. Once you have unlocked your mobile it is free from network restriction. Here are the steps for unlocking a Nokia 6500S,
1 - Switch on your Nokia 6500S without any sim card.
2 - Don't bother as to what is displayed on your Nokia 6500S.
3 - Compose #pw+CODE+1#.
4 - The Nokia 6500S would then display the message "SIM Restriction Off" and will be unlocked!

did you ask virgin to unlock it? in most cases they will if you have not got a contract.

Try restriction codes here http://www.mobile-unlocker.com/nokia-6500/rs2wp9/

To unlock your mobile phone from Vodafone so you can use it with Optus, please click on this link and follow my instructions :-

If Vodafone won't give you the security code then this WEB site provides security codes for a small cost.

You need to get your Nokia phone unlocked for all networks and for that you need to contact Vodafone to get the unlock codes.
