How do I know if my Nokia RM-944, Nokia 108 is carrier locked?

Read Settings -> General -> About -> Carrier Lock, or run an IMEI SIM lock check. Anything other than "No SIM restrictions" means the device is locked.

Does unlocking a Nokia RM-944, Nokia 108 remove iCloud or MDM?

No. Carrier unlock, iCloud Activation Lock and MDM supervision are three separate locks; only the carrier lock is affected.

Will the unlock survive an update?

Yes for a server-side release, because it is written against the IMEI at the manufacturer. Interposers and profiles are lost on the next update.

Carrier lock

Not verified yet

A model lookup cannot read the lock. The $0.03 SIM lock check names the operator that owns the IMEI in about a minute.

A Nokia RM-944, Nokia 108 is locked the same way any Nokia handset is: the carrier that sold it holds a record against the IMEI, and the device refuses every other SIM until that record changes. This page shows how the model is identified in the TAC register, what kind of lock it uses, and which of our services apply.

Before you pay anyone. Run the $0.03 SIM lock check first. If the phone is already unlocked, every unlock tier on this page is a waste of money — and the check tells you in seconds.

How a Nokia RM-944, Nokia 108 is identified

The TAC — the first eight digits of the IMEI — is how the register knows which model a handset is, and it is what every unlock and warranty service actually queries. Our register holds 78 TAC ranges under this model name:

TAC prefix	Look it up
`35172206`	run the lookup
`35172306`	run the lookup
`35172406`	run the lookup
`35172506`	run the lookup
`35172606`	run the lookup
`35172706`	run the lookup

Dial *#06# to read the IMEI, then compare the first eight digits. Not listed? The lookup will still resolve the model if the range is filed under a different name.

Which lock does this model use

Nokia handsets are usually code-locked: the network asks for a restriction code derived from the IMEI. Newer HMD-made models follow the carrier instead.

On a Nokia RM-944, Nokia 108 the practical test is simple: insert a SIM from a different network. If the phone asks for a code, it is code-locked. If it refuses with “SIM Not Supported” or a carrier-lock notice, it is server-side locked and has to be released against the IMEI. If it just works, it is already unlocked.

Run the blacklist check if you are buying the device rather than unlocking your own.
Order the tier that matches the reported carrier — or, if you are the account holder and the device qualifies, request the free unlock from the carrier.
