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

Thanks S.

I understand.

In my case, I got the phone new in one country, where I used the 1st SIM card I put into it. I wasn't aware of any requirement to use any particular SIM card, or to use it for any particular time.

Some time later I was in another country. I wanted to put my 2nd SIM card in, but the phone wouldn't accept it.

I took it to a phone shop and had it unlocked.

I have been using this 2nd SIM card for years. This SIM card is in no way connected to the phone seller or phone maker, and it is from a different country.

BUT now I find that this 2nd SIM card is the ONLY SIM card the phone will accept.

How do you interpret this data ?

How would this lock be activated on an unlocked phone ?

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 ?

Dear A

Thanks for your reply. That is very helpful.

I didn't realize that about the UK.

If you were me, and you had a Samsung GT-E3210 dumb phone (keypad phone) made about 2013, that would only accept your current SIM card (the 2nd SIM card you've used with this phone) how would you go about unlocking it please ?

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 ?
