You mean an unlocking code? Or the default security code of 12345?

If it's just a security code, providing it hasn't been changed, then it's
right to go. If it's what Optus call "SIM security", then without being the
original owner of the handset it's a little trickier, but not impossible.

Make a call and the network will tell you whether or not the handset is
blocked. Doesn't affect emergency services though, so don't try dialling
them!

Nokia have common manuals on their site - and yes the 3310/15 is common :-)


All said, I would still have tried to locate the original owner via the cops
or the carrier (if possible), but if the phone has been lying dormant
unclaimed for a certain period of time, depending on where you live it's
finders keepers. Check to make sure though.
