Dear Technology

I have a 10 year old dumb phone (keypad phone).

Has anyone unlocked their dumb phone ?

If so, could you tell me how you did it please ?

Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL

    Thanks H.

    I appreciate that it has been a long time.

    If I understand correctly, your phone was locked to Vodafone Germany from the very start. Then, some time later you registered your phone on a website, and this action alone freed your phone.

    One question : whose website did you register your phone on ?

    eg. Phone maker ? Phone seller ? Provider of the SIM card ? other ?

      It was the service providers’ website, vodafone. They had the option to remove the carrier lock for free because the phone was older than 4 years or so.

        Thanks H.

        So, it was vodafone’s website that you put your data into, to immediately free your more than 4 year old phone.

        Am I correct in understanding that vodafone was both the phone seller and the SIM card provider ?

        What data did you put into the website please ?
