[access-uk] Re: unlocking mobile phone with talks

Hi Kaz,

thanks for the response.  i feel a bit easier now.  Yeah, I'll definitely 
search yell.com as, I'd be interested to know which shops can do this.  I 
found out that Orange charge £30 to unlock phones from their network.  This 
is no surprise as, I'm sure, Orange don't wanna make it attractive for 
people to leave their service <smile>.

thanks again,

all the best,

Justin
