S6 on Three - where to get unlocked

Flaccus

Anyone recommend a good place to unlock an S6 that's locked to Three. Tried my usual sim-unlock.net and they only list Hutchinson UK.

Also - anyone find installing themes from the samsung store actually causes the phone to lag. I am not talking about the initial lag which happens after you install the theme but say a week later...phone just seems slower. back to stock theme and it's faster.

Cheers. How long before they send the code typically ?

Also, I see there is a local company doing it. I wonder has anyone used this service.

Great. Will order this one so. Three's 4g really sucks eggs.

I switched from three to Vodafone and VF have 4G+ in my area and i can get nearly 80mb download.

Flaccus

Yeah, I'm on Vodafone and even in my area which isn't great I get in the high 30's. Near the city I have 4g+ like yourself and get well over 60. The best I have seen 3 get is in the low teens and that is in Cork city. It's a disgrace. How can it be deemed 4g ?

I used the first link posted and had the code in about 5 hours

Flaccus

Went with 2nd link. Unlocked in about the same time.

So the phone was with 3. Can't believe how bad the 4g was. Now using it on VF network and 10 times better.

Will VF push out the android updates now ? And what is this 3 network services app. I just disabled it. Suppose will have to root to get rid of that 3 logo.

Now that it's unlocked you can flash unbranded samsung software if you want to get rid of three stuff ,no need to root . Software is available on sam mobile , obviously don't attempt this unless you know what you are doing .

Did it with my Note 4 using Odin. So I assume same process ?
Presumably this means I will get OTA updates from Samsung.

Which is the recommended firmware. I am guessing I have a 920F (will check later) so this would the UK BTU be the one to go for
