You may request an unlock if your phone doesn't get reception in your home.
Many Nokia 6010 phones will only accept SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards from the service provider you bought it from. This presents a problem if you want to use your phone overseas. If you have a valid reason to use another company's SIM card in your phone, you can call your service provider and request the unlock code. When you unlock the Nokia 6010, you can use it with any provider and on any network.
Instructions
Getting the Unlock Code
1. Turn on your 6010 phone. To unlock your phone, your service provider first needs its IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number.
2. Enter *#06# on the keypad. Your phone will display a string of numbers.
3. Copy the first 15 digits of that string of numbers. This is your phone's IMEI number.
4. Call your service provider's customer support. Say that you want to unlock your Nokia 6010. Give your phone's IMEI when prompted.
5. Copy the unlock code.
Unlocking Your Nokia 6010
6. Turn off your Nokia 6010.
7. Remove your phone's back plate, then remove its battery. Slide out the SIM card, which is located near the bottom.
8. Replace the battery and the back plate.
9. Turn on your phone.
10. Enter #pw+CODE+1# on the keypad if your provider is T-Mobil. Enter #pw+CODE+7# if your provider is AT&T. The display will read "Network Lock Deactivated" when you have successfully unlocked your phone.
