Software update, how?

I have been asked a lot about how to update the software in cellular phones.
The easiest thing to do is to go to the nearest Ericsson
dealer and make him do it for you. Just remember that it is supposed to
be free (a receipt is requiet) so don't let him tell you anything else!

The Service Provider (SP) Lock menu is used to lock the cell phone to the
SP's SIM card. Once the cell phone is locked to a specific operator, if one
inserts a SIM card from a different operator the phone will refuse to accept it!
The cell phone will however accept another SIM card from the same operator.

To activate/deactivate this lock one needs a special secret code that is not
available to the end user. (not even to you... or is it ? in case please let me know!)

Here is how to activate the menu:

<**< Lock to Network? if pressing yes you have 5 attempts
to enter NCK.

<**<< Lock to Network subset? if pressing yes you have
5 attempts to enter NSCK.

Warning: Your phone can be locked to a service provider FOREVER by doing this!
If an invalid code is entered all five times, the menu will exit and be deactivated!
Any further attempt to activate the NCK/NSCK lock Menu will result in the response
"Not allowed"! However the NCK/NSCK lock can be recover through a direct clearing
in the EEPROM.
