How To Unlock Phone?

How do I remove the simlock of a siemens c55 phone given that I have the unlock code?

  • I have a siemens C55 telephone that is simlocked. I've also gotten the unlock code off my provider a while back. The problem is I either didn't receive or have lost the unlock instructions, i.e. what exactly I need to type into the phone along with the unlock code, and whether this should be with the original sim card, a new sim card or no sim card at all loaded. I know I can unlock it without the code if I have a data cable, but I don't have a data cable and they'd probably cost more than the entire phone is worth. Googling is made difficult by the millions of sites offering to unlock phones for low low prices.

  • Answer:

    On most phones, you have to put a disallowed card in and it'll ask you for the code.

It just says "Phone disabled! SP lock" if I do that, and the only option at that point is "SOS" which I assume calls emergency services.

You can get a data cable on ebay for around ten bucks (delivery included)

Ok, the same price might have been a slight exaggeration, but considering that you can a prepaid phone for €30 which includes €15 credit, and that phone would probably be a lot better than this one, I'd really prefer not to spend any more money on it, it's just for use as a "just-in-case" phone. Thanks for the tip though.

Found it! After providing lots of personal info to the provider a separate help system revealed itself. For anyone else coming here with the same problem: it's *#0001*unlock code (SPCK)#
