To view IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number enter *#06# 

To view Week and Year of manufacture enter *#3283# [*# D A T E #]

The last two digits are the year. If the year is 95, the first two digits are the month.
For 96 the first two digits are the week of the year.

To view the software version on 2110e / 2110i enter *#170602112302# or *#9999# 
On newer phones, the code has been changed to *#682371158412125# 



Software UPDATED  

LASTEST Version V. 5.70 (xx-xx-97) 

Version V. 5.62 (05-05-97) 

Version V. 5.31 (06-01-96) 

The phone should display something similar to this:

V 5.31
06-01-96
NHE-4
First line: 
The Software Version (My guess is that this software has been used in 
previously Nokia-phones, what do you say?!). 

Second line: 
The date of the SW release. 

Third line: 
NHE-4 has something to do with the type of phone you are dealing with. 
Is it GSM 900 (standard), GSM 1800 (DCS1800) or GSM 1900 (PCS1900)? 
Nokia 2110, 3110, 8110(i) are all NHE types. The only thing that vary is the code after NHE- ("4"). 
NHE = GSM 900, NHK =GSM 1800 - The number in the end = the model (2110i = 4 etc.) 
The 5110 and 6110 is called NSE-1 and NSE-3...this may be because it supports EFR (?) 

Software update, how? 

I have been asked a lot about how to update the software in Nokia 3110. 
The easiest thing to do is to go to the nearest Nokia 
dealer and make him do it for you. Just remember that it is supposed to 
be free (a receipt is requiet) so don't let him tell you anything else! 



Service Provider Lock 

The Service provider (SP) lock is used to lock the cell phone to the 
SP's SIM card. Once the cell phone is locked to a specific operator, if one 
inserts a SIM card from a different operator the phone will refuse to accept it! 
The cell phone will however accept another SIM card from the same operator. 

All Nokia phones (2110 and newer) have four different SIM locks which can be used 
to lock the phone for up to 4 different providers. But most phones with restriction only 
have one lock activated. ( lock 1) 

The main code used in Nokia phones is: 

#pw+(master code)+Y# 

This code is able to check, activate or remove Sim card restriction (SP-lock). 

Use the * key to get the p, + and w chars. 

'Y' has to be 1,2,3 or 4 - depending of what lock you what to deal with. 

#pw+1234567890+1# for Provider-Lock status
#pw+1234567890+2# for Network-Lock status
#pw+1234567890+3# for Provider(???)-Lock status
#pw+1234567890+4# for SimCard-Lock status

(master code) is a 10 digit code, based on the phones IMEI number. 
(I can NOT give you the master code - SO DON'T ASK ME FOR IT !!!!!!!) 

E.g.. To remove restriction on lock 1 type following code: 

#pw+(master code)+1# 

If you just want to check your phone use 10 random numbers Eg. 1234567890 
as the (master code) 

eg. To check if phone if restricted on lock 1 type the following code: 

#pw+1234567890+1# 

Please NOTE that these codes could be used with care!
A user told me that it's only possible to type in about 3 different codes on each lock! 
Then something bad will happen ..therefore be careful!

Bypass the SP lock

With a Nokia 16xx/21xx/31xx/51xx/81xx that are SIMlocked to one privider you can bypass the SP lock like this:

1] Insert sim card of diferent provider.
2] Turn on the phone and press the UP VOLUME key for 3 sec. then release it and the phone says PIN CODE ?
3] Press the "C" key. 
4] Then Press * and wait until it disappear and appear again, then press * one more time and 04*PIN*PIN*PIN#


The phone now says: PIN CODE CHANGED (or ACCEPTED) 
and the SIM card is accepted until you restart the phone again.
