Short answer: The 6280 is a later BB5 phone, and CANNOT be unlocked using a calculator. Only one person in the world (Dejan) has cracked the BB5 code, he is now a millionaire from his unlocking business.

Only the 1st wave of BB5 phones, which does not include the 6280, can now be unlocked using the calc and a cable.

The Nokia DCT3 & DCT4 phones (all earlier models than the BB5's) are easily unlocked using just a calc.

DON'T buy any calcs or "unlock codes" from any website or eBay. They won't work. The only solution is to go thru the service provider.

Remember also that after 3-5 attempts (varies from phone to phone) to enter an unlock code will result in the phone being locked out from accepting any more codes. Only a hardware solution with the service provider can unlock it from there.
