This phone is a hand-me-down and Im looking for a few things.

1) A Master reset code

2) A method to clear the simlock by myself for free!!


If ANYONE can give ANY advice, that would be brilliant.

i,

I dont have a master reset code although the default codes for the
following are:

SIM PIN 0000
SIM PIN2 1111 (used for Fixed Dialling)
Handsets Lock 0000

When you say SIM lock, is the phone asking for a PUK (Phone Unlock Key)
or an NUC (Network Unlock Code)?

- The PUK would be the security code set up by the previous user to
access the phone (a four digit number). If this is entered incorrectly
between 3-8 times (dependant on mobile) this will lock the phone on a
permanent basis. The previous owner (i.e. a Vodafone customer, either
pay as you talk or pay monthly) would need to obtain this information
from Vodafone Customer Services if the handset has locked itself and a
PUK was required.

- An NUC (Network Unlock Code) would be needed to use a non-Vodafone
sim in the GX15. Vodafone Customer Services do provide network unlock
codes but only to customers who have either i) a registered Vodafone
Pay As You Talk number, or ii) a Vodafone Monthly contract. This is
because Vodafone need to raise a charge of Ł19.99 against the account
or calling credit if the mobile is under 12 months old to provide the
NUC. Its not possible for Vodafone to provide an NUC to a non-Vodafone
customer, although third party high street stores may be able to unlock
the device for you.
