⚠️ Do not confuse this with the phone security code (default: 12345) or SIM PIN.
When a carrier (like T-Mobile, Vodafone, Airtel, or Movistar) subsidizes a phone, they lock the firmware to their SIM cards. The phone will reject any other carrier's SIM. Using an unlock code (also called a Network Unlock PIN or NCK code) removes that software lock permanently.
Without an unlock code, your Nokia Model 100 Type RH-130 is essentially a paperweight if you switch providers or travel abroad. With a "portable" unlock code (calculated from your IMEI), you turn the device into a universal GSM phone.

🔐 Avoid “free code generators” – they don’t work for RH‑130; this phone needs a proper algorithm-based code.
You enter a unique 15-to-20-digit numeric code directly into the phone’s keypad. This code is mathematically derived from your phone’s IMEI number and the network lock code (MCC/MNC).
For RH‑130, the syntax is typically:
# p w + (unlock code) + (digit) #
Example:
Code given: 123456789012345
Enter: #pw+123456789012345+1#
