Unlock your Nokia 6300 and use it on any network.
The Nokia 6300 is a mobile phone that has many features and options important to consumers, such as a music player and the ability to take pictures and record video. Unfortunately, many service providers lock the phone to prevent it from being used on another network. Unlocking your Nokia 6300 will allow you to use the phone on any network, which means you can take advantage of another network's lower prices or use the phone internationally.
Instructions
1. Find your Nokia 6300's IMEI number. Turn your phone off and remove the battery from the back. The IMEI number is located on a sticker in the battery port. An example of an IMEI number is: 490154203237518. It is usually a 15 to 17 digit number.
2. Contact your service provider and request an unlock code for your Nokia 6300. You will need your account number, phone number and account password. After verifying your identity with the phone representative give him the IMEI number of your phone. He will provide you with the unlock code once you have satisfied the rules for issuing the unlock code. For example, you may have to be a customer for at least 90 days and your account must be current and in good standing.
3. Purchase the unlock code from an online unlocking service. If you do not have a current service provider you can still get the unlock code by purchasing it. Go to a cell phone unlocking website (see Resources). Type "Nokia 6300" into the search field on the homepage and press "Enter." Click "Checkout" and enter your payment information and IMEI number in the appropriate fields. You will receive the code via email.
4. Enter the unlock code for your Nokia 6300. Press the "#" key followed by the "*" key three times until the letter "p" appears on the screen. Next, press the "*" key four times until the letter "w" appears, then press the "*" key two times until the "+" sign appears. Enter your unlock code. Press the "*" two times and the "+" will reappear. Enter the code number and press the "#" key to complete the process. Your phone is now unlocked and ready to use on any network.
