6630 on o2 - locked or unlocked?

Can anyone confirm 100% if the Nokia 6630 on O2-UK is unlocked and
will accept any sim cards as standard out of the box?

TIA

Chris

If it's a contract phone it'll most likely be unlocked but no-one can
guarantee that apart from O2.

Incomplete possibly. O" supplied PAYG handsets are always locked (unless
they cock up as they have a couple fo times before)

Not true unfortunately. I've unlocked plenty of unbranded but locked O2
handsets.

Yes, because CPW can supply (if they want to) GSM stock for O2, Voda, ORange
and T-Mobile - not many other dealers can or do at the moment.

6630 direct from 02 works on Voda, not sure about the others though.

Can you please tell me how to calculate the code for unlocking the 6630?

I am using the Unlock Codes Calculator By Crux v.2.31

please suggest me what



- ASIC to use
- BOX serial ID
- Calculation method ( ex. Griffin Clip, V2 Codes,etc.)
Any seggestion would be appreciated... if you have some comprehensive
source, like a web site that talks about unlocking and explain the
whole of it i d be please to know about it...

Cheers

You can't (yet).

There are no free calculators that will unlock the new Nokia BB5 platform
phones.

You can use whatever you like, but it won't work for a 6630. The only two
choices you've got to get it unlocked at the moment are to either pay the
network for the unlock code or find someone with access to a JAF flashing
box who may be able to do it for you.
