NHE-6BM
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-8 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- ("8").
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 your cell phones.
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 upto 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 !!!!!!!)
Eg. 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 desapear and apear 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.

Tips and Info
The 54# Tip:
Type 1#, 2#........54# on the keypad (when you're not in the menu) to get the phone number used for
with this key when speed dialing.
Update from 8110 >8110i impossible....
Even though NHE-6 is found on the bagside of 8110 too an update from that
phone to the 8110i is impossible. The reason is simple. The hardware is
different which means that the SW capacity in 8110i is bigger than the 8110.
Original Ringtone ..
I you want the original ringtone back after you
have downloaded one you can send a message to yourself containing the
text: //SCKL1581 After some time you will recieive a message that you can save, and your original
Nokia ringtone is back.
What's a Business Card?...
A business card is a special SMS message which is composed as following:
//SCKE2 BEGIN:VCARD N:name TEL:number END:VCARD
Hands Free tip:
To continue an existing call when placing the 8110i into the hands free
car kit without it dropping the call, press the Memory button just before
connecting the cable and placing it in the cradle.
Display extra text in call costs feature tip:
If your network operator doesn't offer a call costs service, you can still
make use of that function to display some personalised text on the screen
of your 8110i. Go to Menu, [5], [7], [1], enter PIN2-code and choose Set.
Then type in the limit of the currency units you're using (if the call
cost service worked, you would have to type the cost limit of the calls)
and choose OK. In this case I typed 8110. Then go to the next submenu
(Menu, [5], [7], [2]), the Show costs in menu. Type in the PIN2 code again
and select Currency. Type in the unit price, in this case number 1. Then
type the name of the currency - you can use any string of letters and
numbers 1-3 characters long. then type 2 letter then to confirm type two
names begining with one of each of the letters. Then press OK
to confirm it.
Quick saving while in call tip:
Saving numbers to memory during a call
If you type a number into your phone during a call, you will lose it when
the call ends. To prevent this happening just hold down Memory button --
the number will be saved (with no name) to the next available memory
location.
Deleting SMS messages quickly tip:
When reading an SMS message, instead of pressing Option, Erase to delete
the message, simply press [C].
Turning lights on temporarily tip:
If you have display lights turned off, you can turn them on by quickly
pressing and releasing the power button. They will stay on as long as you
are pressing button.
Silent mode temporarily tip:
You can put your phone into silent ringing mode temporarily by pressing
Menu then [#].
Closing the cover without ending a call tip:
If you press the menu key and then close the sliding cover during a call
you will not end your call.
Thanks goes to Petri Tuohimaa, Whitaker and Johnny Skåtar for their tips.
Turning lights on temporarily tip:
If U have lights turned off U can turn them on by quickly pressing and
releasing the power button .
They will stay on as long as U're pressing the button.

Thanks goes to Jukka
