    I want to open a TCL 10 5G locked to 3 Ireland.

    Is this possible?

    Does any shop do it?
    Ideally in Cork.


    Thanks In Advance.

    As of now not possible. VF unit codes are avail on the open market, Three are not.

    that phone is quite uncommon so may never be available to buy for three network in ireland as an unlock code

    could ask three how long / how much you have to spend with them to get an unlock code from them

    also maybe you can use it on other three network operators e.g. 48

    I have one of these as well , bought it to check out if 5g was available for me just outside Cobh , I think the only way to unlock is to top it up by 100 / 120 euro and 3 will unlock it , im just outside the coverage of 5g in Cobh and vodafone is gone crap for me so ill top it up for a few months and unlock it with 3 .

    I'm using Three Sim A in the phone but bought it with a transferred in Lyca number on Three SIM B. As such Three wont unlock mine, yet to get stroppy with them.
