I removed the SIM and then turned the phone on. They say to wait til the phone asks for the SIM but I think that's done before Talks kicks in. To give you advance warning I've pasted below the E-mail they sent me without my unlock code. If you entre the code and check it then if it fails the first time you'll know it is the code and won't have to entre it a second or third time so you'll have lives left so to speak!
Dear CustomerWe are pleased to tell you that we have generated an unlock code for your phone. This can be found below, please read all instructions carefully before use.
1) Power on your phone with no sim card entered (if the code fails put the sim card in when you enter the code).
2) Wait for the phone to ask for the sim card. 3) Enter the below unlock code as you would a text message without any spaces. 4) For p press the * key rapidly three times. 5) For w press the * key rapidly four times. 6) For + press the * key rapidly twice. 7) Take care to enter the code exactly as we send it 8) Your phone will display a success message9) Do not enter the code more than twice, as this may hard lock your phone requiring cables to unlock it.

Dean, thanks for that reminder again. Have taken it in this time around ...I'm waiting for Tech Support to come back to me to let me know about the 6630. I'll probably have to go at my own risk, I guess.Did you have to remove the sim card, by the way? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxxOn Thursday, March 20, 2008 11:30 AM (UK time), Dean Wilcox at wilcoxdean@xxxxxxxxxxx said:it all went fine with Talks. Importantly though as I may have mentioned in another message, when you put the last digit in Talks didn't say anything for me. I knew the code was entred fully so pressed soft key 1 to ok and the phone restarted. Then I set the time, date and the city, or at least your nearest one and that was that. At 02:57 20/03/2008, you wrote:Dean, It certainly does. Just one further question for you! What did you have to do once you'd got the instructions? Were you able to do it successfully with Talks installed? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx On Wednesday, March 19, 2008 11:17 PM (UK time), Dean Wilcox at wilcoxdean@xxxxxxxxxxx said:This is just a guess but I expect a 6630 to be no problems. I unlocked a 6680 and its a similar kind of handset. They say in the FAQ that they can unlock the majority of phones in today's market and I doubt a Symbian phone would cause problems. If you want to be sure you can contact them at sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hope that helps Dean At 22:02 19/03/2008, you wrote:Dean, I agree, that's a wonderfully simple site and they do all the work in providing the unlock code after a simple form; but I don't see anywhere that they put any restrictions, say, on the 6630 and other newer phones, as I've seen today elsewhere. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way of getting in touch with them, except by completing this form and paying your money. Shame! I probably would have paid this amount if I could have been sure of a good result! <Smiles> -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx On Wednesday, March 19, 2008 4:55 PM (UK time), Dean Wilcox at wilcoxdean@xxxxxxxxxxx said:This might not be everyones cup of tea but last week I decided to unlock my Nokia 6680 online. I used Wireless Unlocks at: http://www.wirelessunlocks.co.uk/ for just £4.80 including VAT. I sent my info at about 5 in the evening so wasn't surprised to have to wait til the next morning for my unlock code, maybe if you ask earlier in the day you will get it that day too. The instructions were fine and I got the code to work first time. As for unlocking yourself in general, once I typed in the code the phone must display a success message and ask ok to restart. Well Talks doesn't seem to be alive at this point so if you put in a code and it all goes dead after the last letter of the code, push soft key one and hopefully your phone will restart like mine. Then just set your nearest city, time and date and your away.

He unlocks phones of all shapes and sizes for £10. From what I know, it doesn't cause any problems for TALKS, but does invalidate your warranty if it is under a year old. I'm sure Nutty will let you know more though, and will only be too willing to correct me if I'm wrong. (big smile.)

First, has anyone done it themselves? If so, will it work still using TALKS? Second, I've looked at the following sites http://www.trycktill.com/eng/ http://unlock.nokiafree.org/ and http://www.unlockitfree.com/ All their methods vary a little. It seems that some talk about removing the sim card, whilst the others do not. Others will unlock anything - but then I read that the Nokia 6630 cannot be unlocked because it is a "BB5" model. This restricts the phone and cannot be unlocked via code or cable. Apparently I can only have this done via my mobile provider (costing about £30 I think)! Well, if anyone knows any different, please let me know. It seems though that I could do our 6600, if I'm daring enough ... Any comments (particularly experiences) most welcome.
