How to Unlock Nokia C3 with Unlock Code – Rogers, ChatR, Vodafone, T-mobile, AT&T and more
The Nokia C3 has been an extremely popular smart phone because of its high functioning power, reliability and extremely low price. The big players who happened to get this phone include Rogers, ChatR, AT&T and many carriers around the world. The instructions that we provide you with today on how to unlock Nokia C3 are very interesting because it can differ from carrier to carrier. Rogers, ChatR and Fido have a different way of unlocking their Nokia C3 device than that of AT&T or a carrier from Europe. Our video above explains clearly on how to do this depending on the carrier that your phone is from.
Please note that Nokia phones only have 3 attempts before the phone becomes permanently locked to its original network carrier. Please make sure no one has attempted to unlock your Nokia C3 prior to purchasing the unlock code.
How to Unlock Rogers, ChatR or Fido Nokia C3
1.) First you would need to insert any SIM card in the phone.
2.) Next you would need to compose the following using the keypad: #pw+code+7# (Ex. #pw+111111111222222+7#). DO NOT try to use that code. You can purchase your code to unlock nokia C3 from our unlocking store.
3.) When you press the last # button, you should receive a message that says “Network Restriction Off” and your phone may reboot.
NOTE: If you receive a message that says “Cannot undo restriction” or “Not Allowed”, it means that your phone is permanently locked to the Rogers, Fido, or ChatR network and the phone cannot be unlocked. In this case, there would be no use in purchasing the unlock code for Nokia C3.
How to unlock any other Nokia C3 locked to another carrier
If you have a Nokia C3 locked to another carrier, the steps to unlock your Nokia C3 are slightly different. Please review the instructions below:
1.) Insert any SIM card into the phone.
2.) Here, you will need to compose the code #pw+code+1# (ex. #pw+111111111111111+1#) – note the difference how these use a plus one and not a plus seven. You can get your Nokia C3 unlock code from our Cellfservices unlocking store. Take note that we cannot unlock the Nokia C3 from every single network carrier around the world, but the list is limited to what is available on our product page.
3.) When you press the pound/hash button at the end, if your code is successful, it will say “Network restriction off”
The same rules apply to the Not Allowed or Cannot undo Restriction. It works the same way that it means that it is completely hard locked.
I know it looks a lot harder than it really is, but take a look at our unlocking video and everything should make sense! If you have any comments or questions, please go ahead and join us on Facebook where we answer all of your unlocking related questions.

Does this code work in Canada? I have a locked Chat-r Nokia C3 phone that I bought in Canada. Now, I am in Iran. If I purchase your code, can I use it here? Please notice that there is no signal for Chat-r or Fido or Rogers in this country.
Yes! Your Nokia C3 will work with any GSM carrier worldwide, including in Iran, once unlocked. Please feel free to submit your IMEI directly here: http://www.cellfservices.com/unlock-nokia-c3.html

I want to unlock a Canadian Rogers Nokia C3 phone and I am confused – your website demo and instructions says to insert any SIM card IN the phone before entering the unlock code while other sites ( Nokiaunlockingco ) say to take the SIM card OUT of the phone before entering the unlock code – also your demo shows typing the letters P W but the other sites say to hit the * key twice for the + three times for the P and four times for the W — what is correct???
Also I have a second Rogers Nokia C3 phone right out of the box, no phone number, not currently connected to any network – can I unlock it now or do I have to first set it up with Rogers??
I signed up for your newsletter so I’m trying to get this right.
You can do it without a SIM card, but we have found it to be most successful by using a SIM card from the original network carrier. Others use an unaccepted SIM card, however, we have tested it in many ways and using an accepted SIM card works best.
