Unlocking mobile phones

Hello all! Does anybody know if there is a shop in or around Sligo that unlocks mobiles (namely Nokia 6550). If there are none in Sligo is there one nearby?

Thanks!!

Could you not just ring your network operator.When I had my Vodafone phone I rang them and they unlocked it for me so then I could use a Meteor sim card in it.

Sorry forgot to say.
If that doesn't work for you there is a shop in Boyle that unlocks phones.Don't think there is a shop in Sligo that does it.

Have never heard of a shop in Sligo that does it. Usually the network operator will give you the unlocking code once you've topped up over a certain amount. Not sure how much.

Have you tried the network operator Mrs T?

Just ring them and tell them you are going to australia for a month and you want to use your phone there. You might get lucky otherwise they usually only give it out if you've topped up by a certain amount.

That certain amount is either €120 or€127 worth of credit.Not a huge amount really.

Thanks guys! It's not for me, I'm happy with my phone and operator for now.
I'll pass on the info.
