    Hi,

    I have a Canadian phone that I am looking to get unlocked to allow my Irish sim to work with. Where would be the best place to go to? Would prefer if they could do it then and there rather than head back into town a day or two later!

    I seen a website called The Unlock Team but a bit hesitant to go with them

    Any advice?

    What type of phone is it? You can usually get a code on ebay to do it officially with a very speedy turn around time

    Talbot Street or Moore Street, other than that try searching for an unlocking service for that model on Ebay.

    Yeah exactly. Just type HTC M7 unlock code or whatever the model is. Pick one with loads of feedback. Should be less than a fiver. Probably about 3 quid

    Not sure if they would have an option for a phone locked to a Canadian carrier, but I had great success using www.fastgsm.com to unlock a couple of phones before. Can't recall pricing or time though I'm afraid.

    I got it sorted yesterday. Went through ebay with a crowd called mobunlocking. Cost me €2.50 for a code, and got it within 30 mins. Great service!
