I'm trying to unlock a Nokia 6300 that's locked to FIDO. Where is my best bet for being able to get this done? So far I've tried a mall kiosk that said they can't look up the code and I've tried online vendors who also can't look up the code. I've contacted FIDO and they've told me they can't do it unless I reactivate my account for 3 months even if I'm willing to pay the $50. Are there any other ways to unlock a phone?
I refuse to accept that I have a perfectly good, albeit old, cell phone that is destined for the garbage because of archaic locking rules.
Tried them, they were unable to generate a code for me.

Yeah I apparently missed them enough to try to go back to one. Unfortunately I'm stuck with a device that despite paying off I am completely unable to use. Last time I talked to FIDO they suggested I throw the phone out.
Does anyone know a way to hard reset these phones without an unlock code?
I've spoken with managers and they refused to do it without subscribing for 3 months. I contacted the CCTS and they informed me that since the phone was purchased before the new wireless code that FIDO is under no obligation to unlock the phone.
I've heard it can be unlocked physically with a cable method? Does anyone know someone in Calgary that does the cable unlock method?
