    I did but havent heard anything back from them, cant even find a phone number on their website to contact them, and if you want to post a question on their forum you have to give them a meteor mobile number!!

    From the looks of some of the forum posts I could read on meteor's website, this wont be a quick and simple process!

    Your friend will have to do it. Tell him to call customer care with the model and IMEI of the phone he wants to give away. It's the only way they'll unlock it.

    Tried that Cookie. Still didn't work. I will have to ring them again. I unlocked a phone with O2 a few years ago and they just directed me on what to do!!!
