Default unlocking nokia 1100

hi there, im kinda new to all this but it seems you guys and gals are the best to ask for help... I have a nokia 1100 and i have donwloaded a code calculator but when i enter my IMEI its says "invalid MCC+MNC" yet it seems to be the right MCC+MNC and also the calculator doesnt give me the option to change it...
Can someone tell me where im going wrong? I am stuck without a mobile fone until i figure this out so i would really appreciate you help!!!
Thanks so much!

Which calculator are you using? Typically instead of MCC+MNC you just select Country/Provider from the list and the calculator will fill in the right value for MCC+MNC.

Try Crux V5.

What country & provider is your phone locked to?

When I put it in I get the MCC+MNC of 23400003 and Crux calculator doesn't complain, so you should be able to unlock. Double-check that you entered IMEI correctly as well.

hello again, i managed to get some codes with the crux v5, thanks for that. I have tired 3 of the codes it came up with but each time it says "code error" and when i try a different sim is still says "invalid sim"
Im affraid to try it a 4th time in case its also wrong, am I right in thinking you only get 5 attempts at the getting the code right?
Thanks so much!

Yes, that's right, unfortunately I haven't dealt with an 1100 so I don't know of any tricks specific to that model that you may need to check for. I would suggest checking out Nokiafree unlock phone codes calculator software forums to see if people there might know.

Sorry
