    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.
