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

Unfortunately, no. It’s been years since I did this. The phone has been carrier locked by factoria, though.

Thanks H.

I appreciate that it has been a long time.

If I understand correctly, your phone was locked to Vodafone Germany from the very start. Then, some time later you registered your phone on a website, and this action alone freed your phone.

One question : whose website did you register your phone on ?

eg. Phone maker ? Phone seller ? Provider of the SIM card ? other ?

Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL

It was the service providers’ website, vodafone. They had the option to remove the carrier lock for free because the phone was older than 4 years or so.
