Service Prover Lock
The service provider (SP) lock is used to lock the cell
phone to the SP's SIM card. Once the
cell phone is locked to a specific operator, if one
inserts a SIM card from a different operator
the phone will refuse to accept it! The cell phone will
however accept another SIM card from the
same operator.
All Nokia phones (2110 and newer) have four different
SIM locks which can be used to lock the
phone for upto 4 different providers. But most phones
with restriction only have one lock
activated. ( lock 1)
The main code used in Nokia phones is: #pw+(master code)+Y#
This code is able to check, activate or remove Sim card
restriction (SP-lock).
Use the * key to get the p,
+ and w chars.
'Y' has to be 1,2,3 or
4 - depending of what lock you what to deal with.

SimCard-Lock status
# = DOUBLE-CROSS W = PRESS
"*" THREE TIMES P = PRESS
"*" FOUR TIMES + = PRESS
"*" TWO TIMES
MASTERCODE = 1234567890 Y = NUMBER 1 TO 4
(master code) is a 10 digit code, based on the phones
IMEI number.
(I can NOT give you the master code - SO DON'T ASK ME
FOR IT !!!!!!!)
Eg. To remove restriction on lock 1 type following
code: #pw+(master code)+1#
If you just want to check your phone use 10 random
numbers Eg. 1234567890 as the (master code)
eg. To check if phone if restricted on lock 1 type the
following code: #pw+1234567890+1#
Please NOTE that these codes could be used with care! A
user told me that it's only possible
to type in about 3 different codes on each lock! Then
something bad will happen ..therefore
be careful!
Bypass the SP lock
With a Nokia 16xx/21xx/31xx/51xx/81xx that are SIMlocked
to one privider you can bypass the
SP lock like this:
1: Insert sim card of diferent provider.
2: Turn on the phone and press the UP VOLUME key for 3
sec. then release it and the phone says
PIN CODE?
3: Press the "C" key.
4: Then Press * and
wait until it desapear and apear again, then press
* one more time and 04*PIN*PIN*PIN#
The phone now says: PIN CODE CHANGED (or ACCEPTED) and
the SIM card is accepted until you
restart the phone again. NOTE: On version 5.04 Nokia has
removed this option !
Fast silent mode
In the newer versions (v.7.11 or higher) a quick silent
mode can by entered. Press Menu then #.

You don't need the warranty-codes any more - you can
just scroll through the information like
in any other menu. It has the the same data as 81xx and
31xx phones (with "Edit" button for
purchase date, and "User data transfer").
Menu:
1: Displays Serial Number.
2: Displays the Month and Year of Manufacture (0997)
3: Displays (if there) the date where the phone was
purchased (MMYY) you can here set the

6: Does anyone know if this is for upgrading the phone's
EEPROM?? (Transfer user data?)
Enhanced Full Rate Codec (EFR):
On: Enter *3370# and
EFR will be activated after a reboot of the phone (
consumes more power )
Off: Enter #3370# and
EFR will be switched off after a reboot of the phone.
Half Rate Codec:
On: Enter *4720# and
Half Rate coded will be activated after a reboot of the
phone ( better
standby time )
Off: Enter #4720# and
Half Rate coded will be de-activated after a reboot of
the phone
Enhanced Full Rate will give you much better sound
quality when you enable it. The new Enhanced
Full Rate CODEC adopted by GSM uses the ASELP (AlgebraicCode
Excitation Linear Prediction)
compression technology. This technology allows for much
great voice quality in the same number
of bits as the older Full Rate CODEC. The older
technology was called LPC-RPE (Linear Prediction
Coding with Regular Pulse Excitation). Both operate at
13 kilobits.(but you take up more space
on the network, so they can charge you more) - Talk-time
is reduced with about 5%
Half Rate will give you bad soundquality, which gives
the serviceprovider the opportunity to
have more calls on the network, and you might get a
lower charge from them. - Will give you
30% longer talk-time.
Network Monitor
There is a hidden menu inside your Nokia phone. If you
want to activate it, you'll have to
re-program some chips inside of your phone.
1.Check your software version. You can only continue if
you have v4.33, v4.73 or v5.24.
2.Take apart the phone.
3. De-solder the EEPROM (ATMEL AT 24C64).
4. Read out the data with an EEPROM programmer and save
it to a file (Backup).
5. If you have v.33 or v4.73, change the address "03B8"
from "00" to "FF".
6. If you have v5.24 then change the address "0378" from
"00" to "FF".
7. Write the new data to the EEPROM and solder it back
to the phone.
8. Power on your phone and you should have "Netmonitor"
enabled.
*NOTE* This is the old way to activate the Network
Monitor on Nokia Phones!!! There are
some programms for activating the secret menu. They work
via datecable connection. You will
be able to download this software when u become a member
of our site.
The Network Monitor gives you the following
information.
Carrier number
MS RX Level in DBM

Should work on all software versions.
1. Go to calendar (menu - 8)
2. Make note / reminder
3. Enter some text into the edit box
4. Hold clear until whole text is cleared, then press
Back
5. Press 0. Main screen is shown but a space appears on
the screen. You can't see it of course.
6. Enter 4 digits (1234, for example)
7. Use the down arrow to move the cursor to the left
side of the numbers and the space (2 times
down arrow)
8. Now enter 6 digits and press the green "Call
button".
Wait some seconds...the phone will now flash the
background light and finally reboot. The trick
should also work on other menus like the profile
menu...
The James Bond Trick
If you short-circuit theleft middle and right pins on
the bottom of the phone with all
connections touching each other, the Nokia software
hangs! The profile "Headset" will be
activated. Before you do this just activate the
"Automatic Answer" in the headset profile and
set the ringing volume to "Mute". Now you can use your
phone for checking out what people are
talking about in a room. Just place it under a table in
a room and call it. The phone receives
the call without ringing and you can listen to what
people are saying.

The phone now says: PIN CODE CHANGED (or ACCEPTED) and
the SIM card is accepted until you
restart the phone again. NOTE: On version 5.04 Nokia has
removed this option !
Your number in your display
1. Goto menu 3-7 Call cost settings.
2. Turn ON the Call costs' limit 3-7-1. PIN2 code
Required.
3. Put in the limit with the phone number. eg. my phone
# is 019 2184697 Enter the limit as
2184697
4. Goto menu 3-7-2 Show costs in. PIN2 code Required.
5. Select Currency.
6. Enter Unit price : 1
7. Enter Currency name as 019 (per my phone # eg.
above)
Now the phone number 019 2184697 will remains on the 4th
row of the display. Secondly, if you
press the # key, it prompt which line to be used; Line 1
or 2.
Larger Number Tip (works in 51xx series)
If you hold the key # while you are in the names list,
the telephone number can be viewed
larger.
Power Button Tip:
If you press the button for a short moment, the menu
with the profiles is shown on the display.
If you press one more time, the mobile turns itself off.
You can use the up and down cursor keys
to scroll and enable a different alert setting.
Crazy 5110
Send a SMS full of . (dots) the it'll go crazy when you
scroll the received message in your 5110.
It doesn't do any permanent damage...it only goes crazy
if you scroll the SMS. I'm not sure if
it works with all of the software version but it works
with 4.59. Doesn't work on SW version 4.53
The 54# Tip:
Type 1#, 2#........54#
on the keypad (when you're not in the menu) to get the
phone number used
for with this key when speed dialing.
Revealing the Headphone and Car-Kit menus
Please note that if you do these next tricks, the new
menus can't be erased without retoring the
factory default settings. To do these tricks you need to
short-circuit the pins on the bottom of
the phone next to where you plug in you charger.
1. To activate the
"Headset" menu, you need to short-circuit pins
"3" and "4". After
a short
time the word "Headset"
will be shown in the display. Menu 3-6 is now enabled.
2. To activate the "Car"
menu, you need to short-circuit pins
"4" and
"5". After a short
time
the word "Car" will be
shown in the display. Menu 3-7 is now enabled.
Quick SMS Typing
When typing SMS messages, you have to wait some seconds
before you can type the next letter if
it is in the same button than the previous one. For
example try to write the word
"letter", you
have to wait before you can enter the second
"t".. A much faster
solution is to press the #
button twice and then the letter
"t".
Free Call Tip
NB. The tips needs Net Monitor enabled. Be aware that
the trick wil remove Netmonitor in some
sw versions like v4.73 and v5.04.
1. Laungh the NetMonitor in your Nokia 51xx / 61xx
2. Execute the test number 497
3. Free calling for about 90 sec should now have been
activated.

because it supports EFR (?)
Software update, how?
I have been asked a lot about how to update the software
in your cell phones. The easiest thing
to do is to go to the nearest Nokia dealer and make him
do it for you. Just remember that it is
supposed to be free (a receipt is requiet) so don't let
him tell you anything else!

(master code) is a 10 digit code, based on the phones
IMEI number.
(I can NOT give you the master code - SO DON'T ASK ME
FOR IT !!!!!!!)
Eg. To remove restriction on lock 1 type following
code: #pw+(master code)+1#
If you just want to check your phone use 10 random
numbers Eg. 1234567890 as the (master code)
eg. To check if phone if restricted on lock 1 type the
following code: #pw+1234567890+1#
Please NOTE that these codes could be used with care! A
user told me that it's only possible
to type in about 5 different codes on each lock! Then
something bad will happen ..therefore
be careful!
In most Countries Nokia has denied to lock this phone to
a Service Provider
Enhanced Full Rate Codec (EFR):
On: Enter *3370# and
EFR will be activated after a reboot of the phone (
consumes more power )
Off: Enter #3370# and
EFR will be switched off after a reboot of the phone.
Half Rate Codec:
This function is NOT available on 8810
Enhanced Full Rate will give you much better sound
quality when you enable it. The new Enhanced
Full Rate CODEC adopted by GSM uses the ASELP (AlgebraicCode
Excitation Linear Prediction)
compression technology. This technology allows for much
great voice quality in the same number
of bits as the older Full Rate CODEC. The older
technology was called LPC-RPE (Linear Prediction
Coding with Regular Pulse Excitation). Both operate at
13 kilobits.(but you take up more space
on the network, so they can charge you more) - Talk-time
is reduced with about 5%
The 54# Tip:
Type 1#,2#........54#
on the keypad (when you're not in the menu) to get the
phone number
used for with thiskey when speed dialing.
Power Button Tip:
If you press the button for a short moment, the menu
with the profiles is shown on the display.
If you press one more time, the mobile turns itself off.
You can use the up and down cursor keys
to scroll and enable a different alert setting.
Quick SMS Typing
When typing SMS messages, you have to wait some seconds
before you can type the next letter if
it is in the same button than the previous one. For
example try to write the word
"letter", you
have to wait before you can enter the second
"t".. A much faster
solution is to press the #
button twice and then the letter
"t".
What's a Business Card?
A business card is a special SMS message which is
composed as following: //SCKE2 BEGIN:VCARD
N:name TEL:number END:VCARD
Call Menu
(In a call) you can press and hold down the menu button
for 3 sec. and a menu appears. (trasfer,
mute etc.)
*#06# for checking the IMEI
(International Mobile Equipment Identity) *#8110# for checking the
phones software (SW) - called firmware revision
information. *#746025625# [*#sim0clock#]
to check if the Sim-Clock can be Stopped
(Sim-clock-stop is a kind of standby mode which will save
battery time) *#92702689# [*#war0anty#]
Phone asks 'warranty code:'
Press the following warranty
code:
6232 (OK) : Displays the
Month and Year of Manufacture (0997) 7332 (OK) : Displays the
date of the last repair - if found ('DATE NOT SAVED'...)
7832 (OK) : Displays (if found) the date where the phone
was purchased ('DATE NOT SAVED'...) 9268 (OK) : Displays Serial
Number 37832 (OK) : Set the
Purchasing Date MMYY
(Warning: You can only do this once - So be careful what you
write...) 87267 (OK) : Transfers ALL
phone numbers, pictures, sounds from one phone to another
(e.g. if broken) with 6110 u can transfer all data via
IRport. (Confirm transfer?) (Thanks goes to Vanya Pupkin)

The two hands at startup has been removed
(Can anyone tell me what Nokia is trying to say with this
startup-screen ping-pong?!).
Software version V 25.00 12-02-98
An updated GSM operators' list.
Tingtone 10 was changed..
Software version V 34.23 22-10-97
(hummm...only one day from the older version!!!!!!??)
Latest known version.
An updated GSM operators' list.
Some character changes (e.g. the @) when sending sms.
Software version V 24.23 21-10-97
An updated GSM operators' list.
The two hands at startup is back!! (if they were gone
at all)
Software version V 24.11 09-09-97
An updated GSM operators' list.
Some people say that the two hands at startup has been
removed - some don't !
Software version V 24.04 08-08-97
An updated GSM operators' list.
Problem with missing service provider name in display
solved.
Software version V 24.03 16-07-97
First known version.
This version had some problems showing the service
provider in the display.
Instead it showed some empty space. ???
This is what the Nokia 8110(i)
displays when software code is typed. V 04.51 26-03-98 NHE-6BM
First line:
The Software Version (My guess is that this software has
been used in
previously Nokia-phones, what do you say?!).
Second line:
The date of the SW release.
Third line:
NHE-8 has something to do
with the type of phone you are dealing with.
Is it GSM 900 (standard),
GSM 1800 (DCS1800) or GSM
1900 (PCS1900)? Nokia 2110, 3110, 8110(i)
are all NHE types.
The only thing that vary is the code after
NHE- ("8"). NHE = GSM 900, NHK =GSM 1800
- The number in the end = the model (2110i = 4 etc.)
The 5110 and
6110 is called
NSE-1 and
NSE-3...this may be because
it supports EFR (?)
Software update, how?
I have been asked a lot about how to update the software in
your cell phones.
The easiest thing to do is to go to the nearest Nokia
dealer and make him do it for you. Just remember that it is
supposed to
be free (a receipt is needed) so don't let him tell you
anything else!
Service Provider Lock
The Service provider (SP) lock is used to lock the cell
phone to the
SP's SIM card. Once the cell phone is locked to a specific
operator, if one
inserts a SIM card from a different operator the phone will
refuse to accept it!
The cell phone will however accept another SIM card from the
same operator.
All Nokia phones (2110 and newer) have four different SIM
locks which can be used
to lock the phone for up to 4 different providers. But most
phones with restriction only
have one lock activated. ( lock 1)
The main code used in Nokia
phones is:
#pw+(master code)+Y#
This code is able to check, activate or remove Sim card
restriction (SP-lock).
Use the * key to get the p,
+ and
w chars.
'Y' has to be 1,2,3 or
4 - depending of what lock
you what to deal with. #pw+1234567890+1# for
Provider-Lock status #pw+1234567890+2# for
Network-Lock status #pw+1234567890+3# for
Provider(???)-Lock status #pw+1234567890+4# for
SimCard-Lock status
(master code) is a 10 digit code, based on the phones IMEI
number.
(I can NOT give you the master code - SO DON'T ASK ME FOR IT
!!!!!!!)
E.g. To remove restriction on
lock 1 type following code:
#pw+(master code)+1#
If you just want to check your phone use 10 random numbers
E.g. 1234567890
as the (master code)
e.g. To check if phone if restricted on lock 1 type the
following code: #pw+1234567890+1#
Please NOTE that these codes could be used with care!
A user told me that it's only possible to type in about 3
different codes on each lock!
Then something bad will happen ..therefore be careful!
Bypass the SP lock
With a Nokia
16xx/21xx/31xx/51xx/81xx that are SIMlocked to one
provider you can bypass the SP lock like this: 1] Insert sim card of
different provider. 2] Turn on the phone and
press the UP VOLUME key for
3 sec. then release it and the phone says
PIN CODE ? 3] Press the
"C" key. 4] Then Press
* and wait until it
disappear and appear again, then press
* one more timeand04*PIN*PIN*PIN#
The phone now says: PIN CODE
CHANGED (or ACCEPTED)
and the SIM card is accepted until you restart the phone
again.
Thanks to CrashOut for the information.

Tips and Info UPDATED / NEW
The 54# Tip:
Type 1#,
2#........54# on the
keypad (when you're not in the menu) to get the phone number
used for
with this key when speed dialing.
Update from 8110 >8110i
impossible....
Even though NHE-6 is found
on the bagside of 8110 too
an update from that
phone to the 8110i is impossible. The reason is simple. The
hardware is
different which means that the SW capacity in
8110i is bigger than the
8110.
Original Ringtone .. I you want the original ringtone back after you
have downloaded one you can send a message to yourself
containing the
text: //SCKL1581 After some
time you will recieive a message that you can save, and your
original
Nokia ringtone is back.
What's a Business Card?...
A business card is a special SMS message which is composed
as following: //SCKE2 BEGIN:VCARD N:name
TEL:number
END:VCARD
Hands Free tip:
To continue an existing call when placing the
8110i into the hands free
car kit without it dropping the call, press the Memory
button just before
connecting the cable and placing it in the cradle.
Display extra text in call costs feature tip:
If your network operator doesn't offer a call costs service,
you can still
make use of that function to display some personalized text
on the screen
of your 8110i. Go to Menu,
[5],
[7],
[1], enter
PIN2-code and choose Set.
Then type in the limit of the currency units you're using
(if the call
cost service worked, you would have to type the cost limit
of the calls)
and choose OK. In this case I typed
8110. Then go to the next
submenu
(Menu, [5], [7], [2]), the
Show costs in menu. Type in the
PIN2 code again
and select Currency. Type in the unit price, in this case
number 1. Then
type the name of the currency - you can use any string of
letters and
numbers 1-3 characters
long. then type 2 letter
then to confirm type two
names beginning with one of each of the letters. Then press
OK
to confirm it.
Quick saving while in call tip:
Saving numbers to memory during a call
If you type a number into your phone during a call, you will
lose it when
the call ends. To prevent this happening just hold down
Memory button --
the number will be saved (with no name) to the next
available memory
location.
Deleting SMS messages quickly tip:
When reading an SMS message, instead of pressing Option,
Erase to delete
the message, simply press [C].
Turning lights on temporarily tip:
If you have display lights turned off, you can turn them on
by quickly
pressing and releasing the power button. They will stay on
as long as you
are pressing button.
Silent mode temporarily tip:
You can put your phone into silent ringing mode temporarily
by pressing
Menu then [#].
Closing the cover without ending a call tip:
If you press the menu key and then close the sliding cover
during a call
you will not end your call.

for their tips.
