Nokia Orange UK 6500 Slide - Restriction code Pls

I got a new phone from UK and was trying to use it in USA, when I've inserted the SIM and trying to access the phone, it asks for "RESTRICTION CODE", does anyone can help me in this.
History:
a) Got the phone
b) Bought unlock code
c) Seller provided 5 different set of codes to try
d) All the codes I've tried on the phone failed to unlock
e) Now, asking for RESTRICTION CODE
I will be most thankful if someone can help out from this.

Hi,
I am afraid not as Orange UK codes are very hard to get hold of.
Also, as you have entered an incorrect code 5 times, you will need to reset the unlock attempts before you can unlock even with the correct code as the phone as locked up.
You can check the unlocking attempts made on the phone for free using this software:
Also, we work with this company who offer resetting of unlocking attempts, take a look here:
Or you can google: "Nokia BB5 unlock attempts reset"
Kind regards

    If your Nokia 6500 Classic is asking for restriction code means you need to unlock it...Unlocking can be done either by contacting the service provider

  • 6500 slide security code

    Hi there
    I have a 6500 slide and I have forgotten the security code! Is there anyway of resetting it? I can't use the Nokia Software updater as it has to be "on" and functioning before it will see it!!
    Can anyone help me?!
    Thank you

    If you have forgotten your code and the default 12345 code doesn't work then the only option is to take your phone to a nokia care point to get the code reset.
    The process may wipe all of your data and they will need to see proof of purchase before they will do it.
    There is no other way for a user to reset this code.

  • HT5887 hi , i want to know that my Restriction passcode has been locked it cannot be restore , pls assist ..normal phone code doesnt get open lock of restriction code.pls help

    pls assist on above topic

    Just an update... A rep contacted me and we did a screen share. They were convinced that I wasn't full of <insert proper word here>. They promised to get back to me in a few days, and now? A few months later? Nothing.
    Still no files. Still no correction... Still no nothing from Adobe.
    The person I spoke to was kind, saying he'd make sure I got CC for free for a while...
    Still though, no follow up.
    Adobe, are you going to correct this or just let your customer suffer at your mistakes?

  • Unlock my Nokia 6500 slide

    good evening,
    I bought a mobile (Nokia 6500 slide) with SFR in France. I missed six months and I wanted to unblock it but the code to disable the restriction, is not good and he told me that this is a problem that needs to be addressed at Nokia. So I would like to know steps to unblock it, thank you.
    Best regards

    I'm aware that SFR told you to contact Nokia, and they told you wrong.
    What you should be aware of is the fact that mobile network operators do not hesitate to lie to their clients to make themselves look clean and shift the blame for any wrongdoing to the manufacturer.
    If SFR got the restriction code wrong it is up to them to try again and get it right. SFR sending you to Nokia is not going to help because Nokia cannot generate the restriction code. These codes are the sole responsibility of the operators who enforce the SIM-lock, and the operators know this full well.
    Try SFR again, but don't let them send you back to Nokia. Be persistent. If the front-line customer service is unable to help then ask to have the matter escalated to someone with half a clue who might actually know what he or she is talking about.
    Also bear in mind that SFR are crooks as far as I'm concerned. They've tried everything in the book to extort money from me and succeeded on one occasion (charging me €7.50 for a PUK code given over the phone when no such code was given, I had the SIM-lock lifted from my phone more than 6 months after taking out the contract and it was supposed to be free).

  • Orange 6500 Slide Firmware change.

    Hello,
    I bought an unlocked Orange Nokia 6500 Slide without knowing about the Firmware. It is completely hideous. I'd like to have the standard Nokia Frimware.
    Could anyone help me with this?
    Help is very much appreciated.
    Thank you for your time! :-)

    If you get written consent from the operator in question, a Nokia service point may be able to flash the phone with the standard Nokia software. Note, however, that they aren't required to do this by Nokia and so may not do.
    Any other method that may exist would invalidate the warranty - we are not allowed to discuss that sort of thing here.

  • 6500 Slide Firmware + Product Code

    Hey guys,
    Can anybody tell me the latest firmware for the 6500 Slide, and a debranded UK/Euro product code for the phone?
    Thanks :]

    You need to go to a nokia care point and pay to have them install the language pack that you require,
    note that if you later upgrade your phones firmware this new language pack will be lost

  • Nokia 6500 Slide SIlent mode makes noises

    I have a Nokia 6500 Slide, and whenever I put it onto silent mode, it still makes a noise (i.e a standard message tone) to inform me that I have received a message/call. I go to profiles and select everything to OFF, but it still continues to do this.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    Try typing *#7780* and default code 12345. Backup anything you want to keep, usually restoring settings doesn't delete anything, but better to be safe than sorry!
    What might have happened is you had put your phone on silent mode, and then later on changed the ringtone whilst still on silent mode.

  • Nokia 6500 Slide Software Update

    I purchased the Nokia 6500 Slide phone at Christmas. I was having a problem with receiving photos and telephoned Nokia. They asked me the version of software on the phone - think it's 3.8. I was told it needed updating to the 4.84 version. I was given the name of a local Nokia Engineer who would be able to do this for me. I have contacted the company and have been told that they would be happy to do this for me, but I would have to leave the phone with them for two days.
    Having just read some comments on a website it seems the latest version is in fact 6.60 but there appear to be conflicting views on the software.
    Can anyone please advise me whether I am safer sticking with the original software on the phone or having it updating to the 4.84 version - what are the advantages of the new software?
    Many thanks
    Casselle

    Hi there Hamraam, been reading this thread and if you continue to have the problems with your phone, I would suggest taking your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre for them to take a look at. That is strange that calendar entries and personalised settings are not being restored to your phone after the update.
    It is unlikely that Nokia will release another firmware update for the 6500 Slide. It was released in October 2006 or thereabouts, same as the 5610 XpressMusic, and with the release of newer models, the support cycle for the 6500 Slide has most likely ended with the release of the last update, 10.00, for unbranded product codes of the handset. 
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

  • I need restriction code For Nokia 6280

    Hello all,
    A friend got a Nokia 6280 as a gift from the UK, the phone is on 3 network. each time the phone is put on it asks for restriction code. I don't have the code and do not what code to use.
    Hoping to hear from you guys.

    Hi giggsonic
    This has been discussed many times on this forum including the sticky thread at the top of this board..
    http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=hardware&message.id=69
    Basically the restriction (sometimes called unlock) code would have to come from the original network.

    Hi, I've noticed that the new firmware version 10.00
    for the Nokia 6500s1 (6500 Slide) RM-240 is out.
    Does anyone have an idea what is new in this version
    and they've fixed in this version?

    It's still not listed at the site, butt it's out there.
    I've got the update by using nokia software updater.
    When *#0000# is entered in the main screen of
    my nokia 6500 slide it comes with a screen that reports this:
    Nokia 6500s-1

    It's still a pitty that there is still no information aviable for
    this firmware version, they need to be more open about it.
