The other way is to look for market stalls who have (reasonably)
reputable folk there who unlock your phone pretty quickly.  Funnily
enough, I looked on the Internet too but we decided eventually that Mike
would go Orange and so we didn't need to unlock our 6600.  Whilst I was
having the phone mesoftware upgraded though someone asked about
unlocking phones and the man behind the desk pointed behind him to the
market stalls and said, fairly quietly, "There's the one there and that
shop over there . . .."  <SMILE>

---Ray, I've found sites online that give instructions for DIY
unlocking. 
From memory I simply found these through a quick Googling. Sighted 
assistance was needed, but find this and save yourself a few quid!

| Hi, and please note the change of subject line, and many thanks to

Hartgen for his enlightenment on the 6630.

Do many vendors do this?  How much is it likely to cost?
