Unlocking your Nokia 3588i mobile phone can be done in two ways. The first way is by contacting your phone's carrier and seeing if they can provide you with a code. If they refuse (since unlocking the phone allows you to connect to competitor networks), you can purchase one from a website that sells codes. Keep in mind that you need your phone's International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number for both ways.
Instructions
Unlock Through Representative
1. Turn on the phone and use the keypad to dial *#06# to bring up the 3588i's IMEI number.
2. Call your phone's carrier. Ask the representative for an unlock code after providing him with the IMEI number. He may not give you the code.
3. Use the 3588i's keypad to dial the unlock code given to you (provided the representative gave one to you).
Unlock Through Website
