Nokia 3310 , 3315 , 3330 Secrets

Nokia 3310 , 3315 , 3330 Secrets

Note : All secrets mentioned below have been tested working on Nokia 3310.
Most (perhaps all !) of them, would work on the Nokia 3315 And Nokia 3330.

To See IMEI Number : Press *#06# in Idle mode.

Pressing *#0000# will take you to a special display which shows...

1. Software Version
2. Some Date (Most probably the date of software release)
3. ??

The x# Trick

By pressing x# (where x is any number upto 100) will show the telephone number stored in location x. For example, pressing 5# in idle mode will show the 5th number you stored when you entered the numbers in your phone-book.

Pressing *#92702689# will take you to a new menu with 6 options :

1. Serial Number Of Your Phone.
2. Month And Year Of Manufacture (In format MMYY).
3. Purchasing date. You can only set this once.
4. Enables phone for data transfer if you have all the necessary equipment.
5. Life Timer - ??

To exit the menu, switch off the phone and then back on.

Special Character Trick

While composing an SMS, you would often require to key in some special characters. The entire list of available characters is made available by pressing and holding the * key. Further, you can go down directly instead of going horizontally by pressing #.

Wake Me Up !

Some pre-paid card networks allow the option of "Balance On Screen" facility that displays the remaining credit and validity on the screen. When you go to sleep, set the alarm as usual and then return to idle mode. Now, request for a "balance on screen". Let the balance screen remain and you doze-off to sleep. When the alarm rings as per the set-time, every key will act as the "Snooze" key. The alarm will pause for a certain while but it won't stop ringing ! Eventually, you'll get frustrated and you'll get up ! Wow !

Service Prover Lock
The service provider (SP) lock is used to lock the cell phone to the SP's SIM card. Once the cell phone is locked to a specific operator, if one inserts a SIM card from a different operator the phone will refuse to accept it. The cell phone will however accept another SIM card from the same operator. All Nokia phones (2110 and newer) have four different SIM locks which can be used to lock the phone for up to 4 different providers. But most phones with restriction only have one lock activated. (Lock 1) The main code used in Nokia phones is:
#pw+(master code)+Y#

This code is able to check, activate or remove SIM card restriction (SP-lock).
Use the * key to get the p, + and w chars.
'Y' has to be 1,2,3 or 4 - depending of what lock you what to deal with.

#pw+1234567890+1# for Provider-Lock status
#pw+1234567890+2# for Network-Lock status
#pw+1234567890+3# for Country-Lock status
#pw+1234567890+4# for SimCard-Lock status

# = DOUBLE-CROSS
W = PRESS "*" THREE TIMES
P = PRESS "*" FOUR TIMES
+ = PRESS "*" TWO TIMES
MASTERCODE = 1234567890
Y = NUMBER 1 TO 4
[Master Code] is a 10 digit code, based on the phones IMEI number.
[ No requests for the "Master Code" will be entertained. ]

Eg. To remove restriction on Lock 1 type following code:

#pw+(master code)+1#
If you just want to check your phone use 10 random numbers Eg. 1234567890 as the (master code)
eg. To check if phone if restricted on lock 1 type the following code:
#pw+1234567890+1#

NOTE : These codes could be used with care. A user told me that it's only possible to type in about 3 different codes on each lock! Then something bad will happen ..therefore be careful!

Bypass the SP lock
With a Nokia 16xx/21xx/31xx/51xx/81xx that are SIM locked to one provider you can bypass the SP lock like this:
1: Insert sim card of different provider.
2: Turn on the phone and press the UP VOLUME key for 3 sec. then release it and the phone says PIN CODE?
3: Press the "C" key.
4: Then Press * and wait until it disappears and appears again, then press * one more time and 04*PIN*PIN*PIN#


The phone should now say : PIN CODE CHANGED (or ACCEPTED) and the SIM card is accepted until you restart the phone again.
NOTE: On version 5.04 Nokia has removed this option.

Fast silent mode
In the newer versions (v.7.11 or higher) a quick silent mode can by entered. Press Menu then #.

The 54# Tip:
Type 1#, 2#........54# on the keypad (when you're not in the menu) to get the phone number used for with this key when speed dialing.

Nokia 2300 Review

The 2300 may be targeted at the entry level market, but Nokia decided to add a few features from the higher end phones to this newcomer, including a FM Radio and Polyphonic Ringtones.

Though lacking a color display, the 2300 tries to balance that by adding more than a bit of color to the exterior. The 2300 has a number of different color covers available and two different keypads that can all be mixed and matched to create a number of different styles.

Also interesting, the 2300 has a "SMS Junk Filter" in its arsenal. We're quite interested to see exactly how that works, as I'm sure that there are a lot of people out there that are sick of the random SMS advertisements they receive.
