I have a nokia 3120.
I tried to unblock it for use on other networks, using the site
http://www.unlockme.co.uk/
it says only try 3 times, as you can only try 5 times.
it did'nt work after 3 times, so what happens after the 5 goes?

You get 5 attempts
After that unlocking by code (what you're doing) will not work anymore,
which means you'll need to send it to an unlocking shop to get it unlocked
with hardware. Not a great deal, not too expensive, but does mean you'll be
without your phone for a while.

Be aware of the difference in meaning between unblocking and unlocking.

Any independant phone shop should do it for no more than a tenner.
Alternatively, any of the regulars that post here can do it, but it would
mean being without your phone for a couple of days and may work out slightly
more expensive once you've taken postage into consideration.

Your local market has probably got a mobile phone stall which may also
unlock phones for around £10. I know mine does.
