Dear Technology

I have a 10 year old dumb phone (keypad phone).

Has anyone unlocked their dumb phone ?

If so, could you tell me how you did it please ?

Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL

    Dear S

    Thanks for your reply.

    Thanks for the tip re the pawn shop.

    Did you ever go ahead and succeed in unlocking a dumb phone ?

    Yours sincerely

      Yeah, back in the day I managed to unlock my phone using a tutorial with unlock codes I found online. But that was before smartphones existed.

        Dear S

        I think I have 2 problems.

        1. I don’t know who put the lock there - phone maker ? phone seller ? provider of 1st SIM card ? provider of 2nd SIM card ? other ? I just know that ONLY my current SIM card (the 2nd) works in my phone. No other SIM card will work in it.

        2. I don’t know the correct procedure to remove the lock without bricking the phone. Or, how to unbrick it, if I do.

        Perhaps I am being too cautious, but some of what I have seen online seems a little dubious, and I’m not sure I can trust myself to distinguish between good info and bad.

        You are one of the few who have actually unlocked a dumb phone in real time.

        Could I be so bold as to ask if you would be willing to give some of your time to find a good tutorial with unlock codes for a Samsung GT-E3210 dumb phone made about 2013 ?

        Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL
