I have just got a N95 8GB from UK and I am trying to get it working in NZ with Vodafone. And these are my current issues:
(1) It wont let me connect to the Local Vodafone network with my NZ SIM card. I get a 'Invalid Sim card' message.
(2) I got the unlock code from Vodafone UK - but before I can use this, (as I understand it) I need to have a valid Vodafone UK SIM card - and I dont have one. There are no ways for me to enter the codes while a NZ SIM card is inserted.
(3) I am scared to download any dodgy unlocking software off the net - as I dont want to brick a perfectly working N95 - especially when I have the unlock code.
My question is:
(a) How do I unlock the phone so it works in NZ (without having to order a UK sim card and waste for another week or take it to one of those shops that charges you $$$)
(b) How do I put a new firmware on it? [I was going to download it from http://www.nokia.co.uk/link?cid=EDITORIAL_799358 ]
[It currently has the following version:
V20.0.016 /
28-02-08
RM-320
Nokia N95 (60.01)]
(c) How do I put the latest version of Maps on it?
Any help would be appreciated.
