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

also, if you have a Sony Ericsson (db2010, db2020, a200) there's a great chance some russian dude made a VKP patch to unlock the phone on that firmware. this was completely software, and easily restorable

Dear K

Thanks for your reply.

Perhaps I am a little too cautious, but I don't know what the unlock codes look like, and I don't want to be a fool and brick the phone by doing something obviously stupid.

You are one of the few who have actually unlocked a dumb phone in real time.

Could I be so bold as to ask if you would be willing to find some unlock codes for a Samsung GT-E3210 dumb phone made about 2013, that YOU would be willing to use if it was YOUR phone ?

I would be very grateful to have the opinion of someone with success in this area.

Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL
