Unlocking 3 phone

    Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but I did a search and couldn't find anything.
    I've just cancelled my account with 3 and wanted to go with a prepaid account with either Vodafone or O2. Now they tell me I have to pay them €25 for them to unlock my Nokia 6230. Is this legal?
    I've found 3 to be a truly appalling network since I signed up with them 2 years ago, and the idea of throwing more money at them sickens me.
    Do I have any other options, or do I have to pay the €25?
    Thanks.

    These is a sticky on this forum regarding unlocking, however 6230 isn't a 3G, do you mean a 6280 ?

    6280 can be unlocked if you get shop with right equipment
    HOWEVER!!!!
    thats a disgrace asking you for 25 euros to unlock it after being with them for 2 years!!!
    i dont think there is any way you will get a 6280 done for that much in an unlocking shop, but if you were with them 2 years, they should give the code
    were you on bill or pay as you go?
