Hi, Firstly, despite what a lot of phone companies say etc, unlocking phones is totally legal, its just that the high street shops can't do this as they sell the phones/contracts etc. If all else fails, you can get it done professionally either using a service that you send the phone to and they send it back PDQ, or through a market/car boot etc. However, a lot of these can be done yourself, provided you follow the instructions to the letter. The other thing is that Virgin and Tesco (and perhaps another I can't remember) will unlock the phone free if you pay £30 of credit whilst using the phone. Thanks. Andrew. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
