Nokia N73 - Sim Locking Code

0 replies · 5,256 views · Started 10 November 2008

Hello guys, i got a huge problem, i lost my Nokia N95, and i desactivated my sim card and got a new one witht he same number, then i got home and put that new sim card inmy old Nokia N73 (bought in November 2007).

Basicly my problem is:

-> When i turn on the phone it asks me for a code, which is weird cuz it should ask for sim code and not mobile code.
->i tried to put the N73 default code (12345) as i read in the forums but says ''invalid''
-> I dont know what o do i went to the maintence center and they said it wouls cost 60 dollars, SERIOUSSSSSSLY,

Anyway theresanyw i can put a code or soethint bypass that code?
Or even find the code?
