I can't use my phone :-(

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.ericsson (More info?)

My uncle gave me his spare mobile phone before he went overseas but even
though it worked perfectly for him when I put my SIM in it says it is
"Phone Locked, Enter Code"

My brother tells me it is "SIM locked" and I have to find somebody to
unlock it.


I guess its an old phone now (Ericsson R380 World).


Does anybody know how to do this?


Would really appreciate any help (post or email).

thanks heaps in advance.

Try 0000 as pin code.
I don't think it is a SIM lock. It looks like it is the phone code which has
to be entered when SIM is changed, to make life hard for thiefs.

0000 is the standard code for Ericsson phones (see User Guide on SE
website).
If that doesn't work, you have to contact the previous owner.
