Hello Carol & all, Did you know that your service provider can also unlock
you phone for you, of course there is a charge and it is a lot higher then
most other places around.

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!
