Nokia 6100 - Contact Service - aarrgghh! lol :D - GSM-Forum

fishsponge · 07-24-2003, 21:49

i was in the middle of writing a txt message just now, and the battery died (even though i had 2/7 bars remaining)... it wouldn't turn back on either, so i went and plugged it into my cradle (seen here)

i then turned it back on, and it asked for my Sim card PIN, so i typed it in just once... it then said "Phone locked, enter service code" (or something similar)... i guessed it might be my PIN again (for some stoopid reason). I assumed that it would gimme at least two tries, but it didn't... i typed in once and it locked completely!

it now says on screen "Contact Service"... and i can't do anything about it at all. none of the buttons work or anything.

the only PIN i used was the one on the SIM card... i hadn't manually put a PIN on the actual phone.

please help! i need this phone! lol, i have it plugged into my PC via USB if that will help too...

thanks in advance.... Hobbs (fishsponge)

can someone please help me?? i know nothing about flashing phones, or unlocking them, or using these things i've heard of while researching - griffin... etc... what are they?

i desperately need this phone to work again, i don't know why it even broke - it seemed to randomly ask me for the service code!

please help...

if u not have this device & software its beter to go with phone to service.

Just wondering....but does the Motorola trick for this problem work the same for Nokias? Ie....just leave the phone on for like 20-30min and it will prompt for code again
