Hi Jackie. Unlocking phones is entirely legal so I do not see how it
could
break your statutory warrantee. As far as I know, and from what I can
find
out, it is not illegal to get your phone unlocked even if it is still
under
contract so claiming the phone is no longer under warrantee could be
dodgy.
I am not an exper by any means and an organisation such as the Consumer
Asociation could probably give you definitive advice here.

Hi Carol
I don't know about the sites you gave links to, but we know a nice chap in
our area who has a shop selling everything mobile phone. He unlocks
phones
of all shapes and sizes for £10. From what I know, it doesn't cause any
problems for TALKS, but does invalidate your warranty if it is under a
year
old.
I'm sure Nutty will let you know more though, and will only be too willing
to correct me if I'm wrong. (big smile.)

Subject: [access-uk] UNLOCKING MOBILE PHONES
Hi all,
Well, I want to unlock my mobile for free, which I know is totally legal,
so, do I dare to do it?
First, has anyone done it themselves? If so, will it work still using
TALKS?
Second, I've looked at the following sites
http://www.trycktill.com/eng/
http://unlock.nokiafree.org/
and
http://www.unlockitfree.com/
All their methods vary a little. It seems that some talk about removing
the sim card, whilst the others do not. Others will unlock anything -
but
then I read that the Nokia 6630 cannot be unlocked because it is a "BB5"
model. This restricts the phone and cannot be unlocked via code or cable.
Apparently I can only have this done via my mobile provider (costing
about
£30 I think)!
Well, if anyone knows any different, please let me know.
It seems though that I could do our 6600, if I'm daring enough ...
Any comments (particularly experiences) most welcome.
Thanks.
