Default Phone unlocking codes?

iirc, the N80 cannot be unlocked due to the software the phone uses.

the only way iirc is for the phone network to give you the code - which is specific to your phone and also means you either have to buy yourself out of the contract, or if your contract is up, you have to pay a fee for it.

Same with Nokia 6680.

Nokia phones with the Symbian series software cannot be unlocked using conventional methods. They need a special code which is unique to each phone. Only the netwok provider can supply this code.

If you attempt it more than 5 times, the phone is permanantly locked out and rendered useless
