Re: Unlocking an ancient phone: Is it possible?

It would not work on any US carrier due to the device not supporting VoLTE, which is required to make and receive calls Not being a T-Mobile customer or the original owner of the device pretty much rules out getting it SIM unlocked by T-Mobile. You could try a cellphone repair shop in your area to see if they can SIM unlock it for a fee. Thank you for clarifying that for me!12Visto0likes0ComentariosUnlocking an ancient phone: Is it possible?
Hello. Some time ago, I was handed a really old T-Mobile phone by a family member. Specifically, a Nokia 6010 from 2004. It neither had a SIM card nor a battery, both I was able to procure (I had an old Cingular (now AT&T) SIM card lying around and bought a battery on eBay). Of course, the phone was/is still locked to T-Mobile's network, and with the SIM inserted, asks for an unlock code. Not being a T-Mobile customer, and based on other posts I've seen here, I would assume that unlocking will not be possible. Then again, I'm not sure, considering the phone hasn't been used since the early 2000s, and that it predates T-Mobile's current unlocking policy by many, many years.Solved380Visto0likes4Comentarios
