Nokia 6280 Restriction Code

Had a crap day yesterday and to top it off my phone gave up the ghost and would let me use it asking, forcing me to enter a ‘restriction code’. Called Orange, about as unhelpful as ever telling me it would be ?Ǭ300 for a replacement and a ?Ǭ100 admin fee… yeah right!

Did a quick google this morning and found a few posts on the net, seems that this is a really common problem with the 6280 and can be easily fixed:

  1. Start phone without simcard in
  2. Remove battery when phone is on
  3. Put simcard back in phone and turn on

This worked perfectly! Hope this helps anyone who is unlucky enough to have this phone problem… now how simple is that Orange you money grabbing scamming gits!?

    Exactly the same happened to me last night, Orange were useless, came up with some blog about an interface problem with the sim card and as the phone was out of warranty gave me the same blurb as above ?Ǭ300 etc for a replacement. Used this fix and surprise surprise, one sorted phone. Orange get a grip!!!

    Hi there,
    I have 2 phone 6280.1 is working properly and the another one is always have a problem with “restricted code” and “sim card registration failed”.

    the good one is V 03.81 = This phone From Malaysia
    the bad one is V 05.92 = This phone From Singapore

    What is the different between this version?
    Are the singapore phone can’t support the Malaysia sim card?
    Please help me to solve this problem.

    Thanks a lot.

  33. First of all, well written article! I’ve got a small question bothering me, I really enjoy the theme of your site and tried to download the same theme on my WP website. Anyhow, there is some kind of weird coding error in the sidebar. Do you have any tips, what version are you using? Please PM me on Twitter @Thaifan or per e-mail.
