| Well I finally bought a new phone and I’m planning on donating my old one. Before I do though I would like to fully reset it, i.e. remove all my pictures and phone numbers etc. Is there a way to do this easily, I have more than 500 numbers on the phone so 1 by 1 would be a pain. The phone is a Nokia 6260, also I heard that people can retrieve old information from phones so is there a way to do a hard clean/Reset? Any assistance you can offer would greatly be appreciated. TIA. |

| You can hard reset your device with the code *#7370# + security code (12345 if you didn't change it) so your device will be as the first day - all data are deleted because the phone is formatted. |

Just a quick update, I used this method:
It worked great, totally formatted the phone removing all traces of my settings, customizations, contacts, etc. Thanks all :) |
