Hi Mandy.
If your phone is locked to a specific network and you are using that network
for your calls and texts etc, it might be worth your while talking to them
in the first instance to see if they can unlock your phone for you for a
nominal fee or free of charge depending on the network. If you are
unsuccessful with the network, there are a variety of services both online
and instore who will unlock your phone for you, but it depends on the phone
model as some handsets use different locking mechanisms. For instance, some
handsets use BB5 locking which can only be removed by cable and software,
others can be unlocked by entering a serial number style sequence whilst
others are network locked and can only be unlocked by the network.
All the best and I hope this helps you sum. I'll be replying to your other
message shortly.

Subject: [access-uk] Having phones unlocked
Hi there,
Could someone tell me please where could I get a phone unlocked to take
any
sim card, I am going to South Africa in November and want to take my old
phone with me that has Talks on it but obviously I need it to get it
unlocked to be able to change Sim cards, or else can I do it with the
phone
I'm using at the moment to be able to take my British sim and then change
them but I think that would be a bit fiddly in case people want to SMS me
on
the British phone.
Mandy
