IMEI - *#06# (does not work on some models like HC600)
Service Provider Locks - Applies to most models.
Software
- Service Provider Unlock Program
MANY of these phones are sim locked so that they can only be used with a certain
carrier. This can only be deactivated by getting the special code from Alcatel
or your Service Provider. There is a rumor that there is a program floating
around the net that allows you to calculate the code from the IMEI, number I
have not seen nor verified the existance so it may be BS. Please do not email
me asking for Alcatel codes etc as I will add them to here as soon as I find
something.
This is something that I got that
I have yet to decipher.
IMEI 3300 1453 1139 420
When activated with a Telstra card the Phone boots up with:
"PRODUCT CODE"
"VAL. => OK"
Then we enter 025121992 OK
"ENTER SPECIAL CODE"
**05* same as Motorola
"UNBLOCKING"
" PUK ? "
10608CC2*. These two from Vodaphone also work 906081C2* 15900807*
"UNBLOCKING"
" PIN ? "
0000*
"UNBLOCKING"
"PIN AGAIN "
0000#
It seems that I need to find out the PIN because at this point the phone reboots.
