    At the moment these are the ones that can be unlocked via IMEI/CODE:

    For Free:
    - Nokia ALL
    - VItel Tsm 3/4/5
    - LG 510,1200, 520,1300, 7010,7020, 3000
    - Siemens ST55.
    - Panasonic GD5x.
    - Maxon: some of them
    - New samsung
    (see this thread the first topics)

    Not for free, cause there is no calculator but some providers are serving them:
    - ALL Motorola: A lot problems in this service at the moment.
    - LG: Lg not supported by free.
    - Amena (spanish operator).
    - ORANGE, & Bouygues(France).
    - Vitel Tsm5m
    - ¿Siemens?: I saw some people selling this codes but i dont know people requesting this service so i can not give you an opinion. Price was about 15 euros per unit.

    I think those are all ... maybe i am forgetting some.. :)

    All other ones must be unlocked by cable solution. Cables are not expensive today and there is free software without anykind of problems.
    So instead of spending money why don't you try to unlock your mobile by your self.
    If you are going to pay 10 euros for this job, it is funnier do it by your self.

    Siemens C45 is very easy. You just need a siemens cable (not original siemens cable) and thirty seconds.

    I got a cable for siemen c45, but whenever i connect to PC it the mob will turn itself off.

    Could you please tell me what I have to do next with the cable ?

    cheers,

    When does it turn off? when you put the cable? when you run the software? Anyway for unlocking you need to have your phone OFF ... have you tried to use unlock software?

    If you are using an original siemens cable it won't work...you can modify it for unlocking:

    Put a battery 4,5-5V on cable! this way
    Pin 1 Minuspol (+)
    Pin 4 Pluspol (-)
    taking into account from left to right: Pin 1, Pin 2, Pin 3...

    If this not work look for aMAX232 Cable With Auto Ignition...not original one and should work...

    Use FREIA soft for this purpose it is the better and easier.

    Regards

    Remember this for calcs:

    ASIC 5: 7690 N-GAGE 3600 3620 3650 3660 6600 7650
    ASIC 7: 6650
    ASIC 2: Rest

    i have noticed that not all the guys takes this into account.

    @Supra
    Yes that soft is for free...it is about 190kbs in a zip file. If you want it i can send it to you.
    You just need a cable to connect your phone to serial port - pc.

    As I always say, instead of paying for the unlocking service it is better trying and when you make it work, you can win some xtra money unlocking to your friends :)
    You cannot kill a sharp handset "unlocking" it ... so dont be scared to try :)

    Of course there are phones "more delicated" , that only people with experience must do: New siemens for example....but in most cases unlocking is just to be a ¡pressONEbuttom MAN!

    Some people hesitate of buying a cable but think that you can update and manage your phone...not only unlock...

    :)

    I live in spain and i don't know shops or prices there. sorry.
    I buy my cables in spanish shops and i think it will be cheaper for you buying there...
    I can tell you that here a sharp unlocking cable costs 8 euros.
    Most of the cables come from china so i think there won't be big difference from the price in ireland.

    Hey menka,

    What about sony ericson?...are there online calc's or do you need a cable / software?

    Ta,

    @jabaroom

    here you can find all the models that can be made by free, thats by a calculator.

    Unlocking Sonyericsson is not free at the moment.

    Cheapest way if you only want to unlock one handset is through a sonyericsson SERVER . It is easy to find one reseller of logs/credits...about 14 € per one unit. You need an unlocking ericsson serial cable (same connector than ericsson t28). You need to run a client software ... and the unlocking codes are displayed.

    Another way is SONYERICSSON CLIPS. Clips are boxes with has basically an integrated circuit, a connector to the phone and a connector to a battery. You dont need a PC, either an IT connection. You just connect the phone to box, press one buttom and in few seconds your phone is unlocked or the unlocking codes are displayed in an small screen. Price is about 200 €

    By PC these are software solution:

    Sonyericsson Spherefighter: Unlocking flashing, decustomize, change a lot of paremeters in ur phone... good support, free updates ... about 300 €

    Sonyericsson DIV USB 2.3 (cracked version) cheapest way to have a good software for people who unlock. You just need a dongle that makes the soft work. You can make the donlge yourself or buy it...people is selling this dongle about 60 € even LESS...

    I think once you have the names of the different options, it is easy for all of you find more info just using GOOGLE. I dont want to give links to resellers cause maybe people think wrong of me.

    I have seen nothing about x60.
    Some people says that they have set off the network code using the panasonic gd55 calculator but the truth is i have seen nobody with experience in this handset so i can not confirm. Take care of this.
    There are sone free tools for g60 anf griffinteam has an x70 but not x60 i think.

    No. No at the moment.
    You have to wait.
    Cheapest solution buying codes.
    For free you can update the handset to a V600. But not unlock.

    @ Mad Hatter

    Yes it is possible, but it 's not free. And i think it won't be cheap.
    The only way at the moment is via log. And you need to have a griffinbox (by griffinteam.net) so only a professional unlocker can do it.
    o2x1 is a maxon handset so maybe you find some people saying that they unlocked their o2x1 wth samsung calculators but just cheaters. Calcs dont work on this models.

    @Carlito
    About C45, Good work mate!
    About sharp solution for reseting hanset code on any sharp
    You have to run uni soft by spunlock, you are right . Goto sharp menu.
    Connect powered on phone without sim to original sharp com cable and choose factory reset.
    Press RESET process takes about 10 mins after is done all is ok and unlocks fone too.


    @bp_me
    Search this tool, PHILIPS TOOLZ DELUXE BY SANCHEZ 2.44 (1.041 Kbs zip file)
    You can unlock almost all philipss. Of course you need a serial cable.
    Steps:
    1.- Run the soft
    2.- Choose your model - its picture -
    3.- Press READ buttom.
    4.- The unlocking codes are displayed in SIMLOCKS fields.
    5.- Insert a not allowed sim, from another operator and put the codes you are asked to.

    That's all.

    @bp_me
    No calculators for philips mate. Some providers use a simply solution: BIG DATABASE with unlocking codes so There is no algorithm for that. In previos replys you can see all the handsets that can be made with calculators.
    There are some people selling unlocking codes cause they have a contact in operators and they can supply them. In france all phones can be made by imei, and in spain all AMENA phones too. But i dont konw in Uk.
    For philips just a cable -- you can find it for about 8 euros and you can unlock almost all philips :) 8 euros are 2 pint of guiness arent they? :D

    This is a free solution for some new nec phones:e616, e313, e606, e808

    Use gsm simcard(SIM 2G). Turn-on the phone and press

    1.- #4960*xxxxxxxx# + Send

    2.- *4960*xxxxxxxx*xxxxxxxx# + Send

    3.- Turn off the phone and turn-on again

    xxxxxxxx = any numbers you want...try 12345678 f.e.

    This unlock method works with one simcard only. If you change another simcard, you have to unlock again. If you use back the 3G card, you have to input the same xxxxxxxx code again.

    @mad m, PK - the king, Stuff _ V525
    Not free solution.

    If you have cables you can buy credits for REMOTE UNLOCKING. You just need a client software ( search UNIMOTO _ you can find a lot of resellers ) and a USB cable. Credits are now 5 euros per unit or you can buy UNLIMITED account for 200 euros.

    Other option is buying a Motorola VGold Clip. Price goes from 150 euros. Not flashing method, just reading from phone. It is an Clip that can be updated.

    You can find all this stuff using google :) .Hope it is helpful.

    Yes I think you can run it under XP.
    Your problem seems to be that the file Tabctl32.ocx is missing.
    Download this file and copy it in system directory may be u have an older version of this file.
    You can download it here
    Remember to update the soft to 5.6 version
