NUC

[WILTSMAN]

I have given a PAC code to my new mobile provider. I obtained a NUC code from Vodaphone but my phone still displays SIM NOT VALID message.  I have doubled checked the codes. What should I do next?

Hi @WILTSMAN 

You don't mention the phone you are trying to unlock. With some better information you will get a good response. For a quick solution you may be able to find some previous answers from the unlocking board.

Thank you. It is an ancient Nokia 1600.

Is the alternative network sim card your using activated i.e connects to mobile data etc @WILTSMAN 

This is a post in regards to unlocking a Nokia phone albeit not your phone model but it may help.

Nokia-6300-Unlock. 

Vodafone's help page is How-do-I-use-my-nuc. 

There is some unlocking info in unlocking-instructions-for-nokia-1600 

"If you receive a code without the #pw+ at the beginning or EG +1# at the end, then you need to add this to the code before you enter it.

For example, #pw+ nuc code +1# (Should normally be +1# on the end)."

And "How to enter your Nokia unlocking code

Use the * (Star) Key to get the p w and + characters.

Press * key 3 times for p

Press * key 4 times for w

Press * key 2 times for +"

Bandof Brothers,

Many thanks indeed. Once Vodaphone reactivated the sim your solution worked. Brilliant.
