    Anyone Recommend A Place To Unlock Mobiles?

    Right,

    I requested an unlock code and paid for it with T-Mobile about a month ago for my Galaxy S3 and still nothing and all they keep saying is, ring back in 24 hours, I am sick and tired of hearing that to be honest, does anyone know somewhere good online that isn't going to rip me off where I can get an unlock code?

    Cheers
    Jon

    Thanks for the link Barry, I didn't want to root the device though. I did find another thread showing how to unlock it through a hidden menu so I may try that in the end as don't want to pay some dodgy website really and T-Mobile are next to useless at the moment. If I hear "We have emailed the department who unlocks the phones" one more time, think I will scream lol

    Tell them to give you your money back. They haven't provided the service you've paid for. Unless they haven't charged you yet. In which case, ignore this post.

    You can just unroot it again after!

    All samsungs can be unlocked for free with a quick google (did my s2 with android SDK)

    Re: Anyone Recommend A Place To Unlock Mobiles?

    Can't remember how I did it now but it involved pulling a file from the phone and using a hex editor to find the unlock code, do a search on XDA

    When using one of these free methods, is it easy to brick your phone? I'm looking to unlock a Galaxy Mini but worry about breaking it for good.

    The mini is easy to unlock, I've used this method a few times and it worked every time http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1335548

    tbh mate, you need to get a refund from T-mobile, that is totally unacceptable.
    Or just try and push for an unlock from them.

    Service provider unlocks are always the best and are permanent
