    Anyone ever use it? They say they can unlock any phone for €3.50.
    Seems too good to be true.
    Trying to unlock Nokia C7.

    Same question here. I want to unlock a Nokia C3 and found that site but don't know if it is legit.

    If something sounds too good to be true then it normally is! I sincerly doubt that your going to get a C3 unlocked for 3.50


    I did a slight bit of digging. Here is the Who is for that registered domain name.

    Its registered to a company called "Identity Protection Service". They dont seem that competent at keeping their own Identity a secret. :rolleyes:
    After googling the administation number listed it returned a number of websites registered using those details all of which seem to be very dodgy.

    Thanks for the reply. I have no idea what it costs to get a C3 unlocked. A local guy here quoted me €40 but I assumed he was just taking the michael. Any suggestions? At €40, it wouldn't be worth it. I think a new one on payg on the correct network will be around €70

    I got my E5 unlocked via a reputable online shop for £25 approx 29euro. Turn around time was approx 1.5 days. I could Pm you their details if you like..

    I would like to add that im not affiliated with them in anyway just a satisfied customer.

    I think FastGSM are unlocking the E5 for about $20 at present.

    A lot of lads who purchased the Europa from 3 unlocked using them, me included.

    Oh no. I just paid them! Did they turn out to be dodgy? They said to give them 24 hours.


  • Registered Users Posts: 28 robwhit


    OK. So they are dodgy... kind of

    They send you a temporary unlock which you must enter every time you turn on your phone. After the unlock instructions they said:

    PLEASE READ: As explained in our terms this is a temporary unlock so you will have to follow this procedure each time you turn the phone on and off.
