Hi Emeka follow the link I provided to see the code for Nokia. ALL the phones listed have there codes on that link.

Hope this helps you?

I did went through the post again and I discovered that they are actually affecting Nigerians one way or the other, I would suggest you read points 2,3,6 and 7

2. Unwanted Features.Think of some promos which you are automatically migrated to without notice, and some of them comes with monthly charges until you complain to your service customer care.

3. Wrong Number Charges. How do you feel paying for a call you never made just because you dialed a number?

6. Dropped Calls and Other Service Interruptions. What service interruptions on your phone when making a very important call that can change your life? Don't we experience such from MTN, GLO, AIRTEL and ETISALAT?

7. Weather Issues.No mattter how tight your phone is to you, can overcome weather issues and continuously give you the services you want? Think of so many issues your phone can have with weather condition.

Like I said earlier, this post is not about how much you love your mobile phone but factors that makes you want to be unhappy with your phone.

Ok guys lets say we Nigerians are so lucky that such peeps are not dominant here. However, minus the points mentioned in the post above, haven't you for once had one reason to be unhappy with your phone? Think of those times when you see charges that are not supposed to be made on your phone by operators. Remember yr mobile phone houses all these!

This morning while I was going through my "Contact Me" messages, for my blog "www.naijatechblog.com" I saw a post "10 Reasons People are Unhappy with Their Mobile Phone" The caption alone got my attention to read the post. The author Coleen Torres had suggested I share it with my readers which I deemed very fit after reading the post. I do know that there are lots of advances in the Mobile Technology World that makes it practically impossible for people to complain of their devices or services rendered via their mobile phones, but trust me there is always a thing to complain about. Read Coleen Torres' post to see some them.

I am really proud of Google, they have made so many innovative young and old Nigerians to have the access to express themselves on the internet and also make money from the free resources they offer. Think of it, you blog and get known worldwide and in turn Google pay you for using their free resources. I don't see the need of worrying about Google's innovation, or can you think of any Nigerian company that can do what Google is doing? IF YOU CAN THEN LET IT OUT AND WE WILL SEND GOOGLE PACKING. I am a testimony of Google's innovation, If you want to find out visit www.naijatechblog.com
