No. It is technically impossible without altering phone hardware.

Z1010 phones are equipped with hardware supporting 900MHz and 1800MHz bands.
Some of these phones have only one of these bands enabled. Thus you can enable the second band just by changing the bandlock.

But if your phone's hardware supports 950MHz/1800MHz/1900MHz and you change the bandlock to 900MHz/1800MHz/1900MHz, you will just lose the support for the 950MHz band.

Sorry, of course I've meant 850MHz.
Don't do it. It is futile, we've already tried that.
