Which phones and networks are supported?
This is the original calculator for the classic DCT3 and DCT4 handsets listed in the form and the seven original UK network choices. It does not support modern smartphones, Lumia, BB5 phones or later reissues such as the 2600 Classic.
A matching name alone does not confirm compatibility: choose the exact original handset model.
What if I get an error or nothing happens?
For “Code Error”, stop and check the model, IMEI and original network. A SIM from another network can help check whether the handset is already unlocked.
“Cannot undo restriction” or “Not allowed” usually means the code-entry attempts are exhausted. Generating more codes will not reset that counter; the handset may need a compatible cable or service tool.
If nothing happens after the final #, your model may require an unaccepted SIM before entering the code. Avoid repeated guesses.
Where is my IMEI sent?
The calculator processes the number on this website to generate your result. This calculator does not add your IMEI to a database or its own log, and sends it in the form body rather than the page address. Your browser, hosting provider and any site-wide services have their own settings.
