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

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.

Thanks H.

So, it was vodafone's website that you put your data into, to immediately free your more than 4 year old phone.

Am I correct in understanding that vodafone was both the phone seller and the SIM card provider ?

What data did you put into the website please ?

Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL
