    hi folks,

    Have a read a few threads on unlocking sites but nothing definitive. I am looking to unlock my new Sony Xperia Arc S which is currently locked to the o2 network.

    Can anyone advise on a reliable provider to unlock? I saw a few people on this site recommending fastgsm, are they the best?

    I had e-mailed gsm solutions on abbey street and they replied saying that currently couldn't unlock this model.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    GSM solutions are a company with a history of bad complaints after complaint on boards.ie. The best way to find out if a site is reputable, is to google them

    Have done a bit research. Have looked into Fastgsm and they can unlock the phone via data cable and software for $20. Another irish company (unlockimei.net) can also unlock- via data cable €15 and via IMEI for €39.

    I'm thinking of just going with Fastgsm. Great feedback. I am wondering if there are any pros / cons in choosing data cable software over IMEI code though? It is the cheaper option. Is the data cable / software a safe method as I don't want to ruin my phone.

    If anyone can advise I would be very grateful.

    I unlocked a Sony Ericsson play with fastgsm. I was nervous about using this service aswell as I thought I would mess it up and lose money somehow , but there were so many positive posts on here. There was a big thread on unlocking the Sony play about a year ago. It took me a couple of attempts, because i am a bit of a kluts but it was very simple in the end to get an unlock, and well worth the money. You just need a pc, a clip or a pair of tweezers, and your usb cable and download their software. The instructions are very easy to understand and they even have a video to show you how to do the unlocking.
