| Unlocking phones :o! Having lost my old contract phone, if I get a PAYG phone unlocked and insert a blank sim, get Vodafone to, err 'activate' the sim; then will the phone work properly? (Grumbling after Vodafone told me getting a PAYG phone would be no problem, and now wanting £20 to unlock it, and 3 weeks to get the code from manufacturers  !)Thanks  !Edit: also, it'd be great if anyone knows where I can get it (Sharp GX-15) unlocked in Liverpool?  Pentium 4 2.8c / 1024mb DDR (PC3200) / Radeon 9800 Pro / Terratec DMX 6Fire LT / Sparkle 400W / Hitachi 17" TFT 3Dmark2001 3Dmark2003 Last edited by KPeh; 17-11-2005 at 09:24 PM.. |

| SE's are not as easy as nokia's, but can usually be done at homw for free with no cables etc using engineer service codes. See the link above. I have yet to find a phone i could not unlock with the free software above, appart from my K750i. But then it never needed it anyway and i believe there are codes for it now. |

| Hmm... I need to unlock my z520i, that proggy won't support it though I think? Anyone know of a non-cable solution to unlock this darn thing? Its more of a time issue, I have to go on holiday on Thursday, no time really to order cable and software, etc... Doo Doo Doo Da Da DA... |
