The Nokia 6085 is a flip-top phone sold by the AT&T network. Fido is a GSM, global system for mobile communications, network located in Canada. They offer both prepaid and monthly phone service. If you would like to use your Nokia 6085 with a SIM card from the Fido network, you will need to unlock your Nokia 6085.
Instructions
1. Type "*#06#" into your Nokia 6085 keypad. This will produce a 15 digit number known as your IMEI, international mobile equipment identification, number. Write this down, as you will need it to create your unlock code.
2. Call AT&T customer service and ask for an unlocking code. Dial 611, if you use your mobile phone. Dial 1-800-331-0500, if you use another phone. Give AT&T your IMEI number and ask them to generate a subsidy unlock code. You usually need to be a customer for 90 to 120 days for them to comply with this request. Otherwise, you will need to purchase an unlock code (see Resources).
3. Turn your Nokia 6085 off and take out the SIM, subscriber identity module, card. You will find this beneath the battery. Insert the Fido SIM card and turn on your phone. A message will appear informing you that the phone is locked and asking you for an unlock code.
4. Type in the unlock code and press the "OK" button located on the upper left-hand side of the keyboard. The phone will flash, beep and turn off. When it comes back on you will see the Fido network on the screen. You can now use your Nokia 6085 with your Fido SIM card.
