You can unlock Nokia phones for free online and a number of other phones.

Like the previous

What make and model is the phone?

Is it your phone?

Have you considered calling the operator and asking them for the IMEI unlock code.

As long as you have been with them 6 months or spent at least €150 on credit or both they will give you the code.

What ever you do don't go near that guy in the cellular repair centre.
I gave him in my phone 5 weeks, it had a software problem. He told me call back in later that day because he knew what was wrong with it and should have it fixed.
I called in but it was't ready. He said he would ring in a few days. Heard nothin after 2 weeks so I rang. He said it still wasn't working but he would ring me in a few days and give me and update.
Heard nothing for another 2 weeks so I rang again. This time he didn't know who I was or didn't remember the phone.

I still haven't got it back.

STAY AWAY FROM HIM

Lads, I cancelled my bill contract and they have now locked my sim. How do you go about unlocking the sim card? Also how, do I go about using the phone now as prepaid? Thanks.
