Nokia 3310 Preset Security Code

Could anyone help out with information relating to preset Security Codes for
Nokia 3310/5.

A friend has had one handed in at his work and was never claimed (no Sim
Card inside) and "Phone Security " seems to have been activated.
He is looking to use the phone assuming its not IMEI blocked. BTW is there a
number to ring  in Australia to check on this or can I just ring any Mobile
Phone Company and give them the IMEI?


A User Manual would be appreciated aswell (or link to)


Thanks
Lynton Davies

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.

It wants the security code . I tried 12345 so I presume that someone
actually bothered to change their security code.
Anyway to reset this?

Easy enough to do with a data cable, they're less than $30 or get someone
with a cable to loan you one.
