  • Dear K

    Thanks for your reply.

    Perhaps I am a little too cautious, but I don’t know what the unlock codes look like, and I don’t want to be a fool and brick the phone by doing something obviously stupid.

    You are one of the few who have actually unlocked a dumb phone in real time.

    Could I be so bold as to ask if you would be willing to find some unlock codes for a Samsung GT-E3210 dumb phone made about 2013, that YOU would be willing to use if it was YOUR phone ?

    I would be very grateful to have the opinion of someone with success in this area.

    Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL


  • Thanks S.

    I understand.

    In my case, I got the phone new in one country, where I used the 1st SIM card I put into it. I wasn’t aware of any requirement to use any particular SIM card, or to use it for any particular time.

    Some time later I was in another country. I wanted to put my 2nd SIM card in, but the phone wouldn’t accept it.

    I took it to a phone shop and had it unlocked.

    I have been using this 2nd SIM card for years. This SIM card is in no way connected to the phone seller or phone maker, and it is from a different country.

    BUT now I find that this 2nd SIM card is the ONLY SIM card the phone will accept.

    How do you interpret this data ?

    How would this lock be activated on an unlocked phone ?

    Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL






  • Dear S

    I think I have 2 problems.

    1. I don’t know who put the lock there - phone maker ? phone seller ? provider of 1st SIM card ? provider of 2nd SIM card ? other ? I just know that ONLY my current SIM card (the 2nd) works in my phone. No other SIM card will work in it.

    2. I don’t know the correct procedure to remove the lock without bricking the phone. Or, how to unbrick it, if I do.

    Perhaps I am being too cautious, but some of what I have seen online seems a little dubious, and I’m not sure I can trust myself to distinguish between good info and bad.

    Could I be so bold as to ask if you would be willing to give some of your time to find a good tutorial with unlock codes for a Samsung GT-E3210 dumb phone made about 2013 ?
