    well if you have enough call credit used with Vodafone(think its over 100 to 150euro)you can ring them and they will help you unlock it overphone,as a bill i think it goes without saying they will unlock it too.As far as unlocking yourself,cables and right software it can be easy.

    I can't do the Gx30's myself but they can be unlocked with an unlocking clip etc...

    I think I know a few ppl who can do that model so I'll ask around...

    But like I said to mic_d ring your network and ask them to unlock it for you, they will unlock it if you have spent a certain amout on your bill/account.

    well if your not pay to go or bill,get it unlocked Via cable or other ways...plenty of shops in dublin who will unlock this phone for a price....20euro or so....if not cheaper.

    How did he give you the code ? Did he ask you for your IMIE number ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 704 ✭✭✭rander00


    Yeah,,, gave him the IMEI and he got codes from there.

    Oh cool, yeah you should be able to just enter the code he gave you into the phone.

    But, try the code once then try a o2 sim in it first just to make sure it's 100% unlocked...

    If it doesn't unlock the first time it might be the wrong code so get back on to your mate or if you enter the wrong code by mistake :confused: , so just be careful, that's an expensive phone ya have there ;) ...

    Hi,

    This company does unlocking (£16.95 is quoted for it, though I don't know if you need a cable on top of that...)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,402 ✭✭✭nxbyveromdwjpg


    seems you need to buy a cable off them aswell though but cheers byrne anyway

    I've had a speakeasy account with o2 for about 4 years now, and have bought SIM free phones in the interim, however I bought a sony ericsson T230 last week as it was such a good deal with the free call credit, but when I got it home I realised it was SIM locked! I use a UK SIM card quite a lot so it aint much good to me.

    Does anyone know if o2 will unlock it for me?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 66 ✭✭e38418


    dunno bout o2 but some small phoneshops or the local phonestand should do.got mine done last week for £10

    There's a thread floating around on here somewhere that details unlocking different brands of phone: not sure on this but I think Sony/Ericsson handsets need to be unlocked using a data cable, whereas Nokia and some other brands can be unlocked with codes available from the 'net.

    O2 will unlock the phone only after you've spent €100 on call credit (including the free €70) if you apply in writing to them.
