CNET Editors' review
So you bought a used cell phone, only to find out it doesn't work with your network provider. Tragedy? Not necessarily. NokiaFree Unlock Codes Calculator may be able to bring that recalcitrant mobile around. While this ad-supported utility is primarily targeted at Nokia phones, in theory it lets you unlock other mobile devices as well. It all depends on whether yours appears on the program's sadly outdated lists of network providers and phone models. On the aesthetic side, the interface is full of ugly buttons, and the tray icon is primitive and clumsy. The feature set appears quite rich, though the interface uses several terms that might intimidate novice users. The installation process is very clean, fast, and transparent, and the program itself is quite stable. The annoying ad banner at the bottom of the screen doesn't inhibit the program's functionality. NokiaFree Unlock Codes Calculator is no slam dunk, but with patience and a bit of luck, it'll turn that inert lump of metal and plastic into a ringing, texting, calling machine.
