Usually you need to find a site like Polish SimLock24.pl - which provides paid unlock codes.
There is a brute-force method to be done at home with good PC (requires good graphics card). It's well described here:

I can confirm that such sites on what you pay work - I unlocked my Samsung Omnia HD running Symbian S60v5 locked to Orange via SimLock24.pl. After flashing a not-Orange-branded firmware, it turned into a general Polish Omnia HD, without any Orange traces

I live in Finland and its from here. I believe its locked to Telia/Sonera/telefinland what ever name that operator was that time.

Does it say "no calls" or something similar on a yellow box when you boot it? Because that is not simlock, that is loose welding on your motherboard. There are guides how to fix it.

Have you tried a different sim?
That menu option is often there operator lock or not, I think it was added in PR1.2

Would doing CSSU update help with it? https://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/
Anyway that should be done and before that flash the latest PR1.3 firmware.

I tried the community update suggested, but did not help. I had the PR 1.3 already on the phone.

You should flash the phone and try if that takes the carrier lock away. Atleast I would try that first.
