    I read on that site that unlocking a phone which is on a contract may be in breach of that contract as it may still be the property of the company. How would they find out?

    I think this is a particularly good tip.  At the least it is a saving of roughly £30 that the networks would charge you to unlock your phone (and their delay).  I have checked the legality with top Carphone Warehouse boffins.

    It's important we differentiate between unlocking a phone - and unblocking a phone that has been reported lost or stolen.  I am only referring to the first case.

    Carphone Warehouse say

    "It's not illegal, and you can supposedley get it done at some of the smaller retailers or find out how to do it through the internet. You can also request if from Orange, who will charge approximately £30 and may make you pay the outstanding line rental on your contract."

    Rest assured this will be Money Tipped soon!


    Where can I find this unlocking programme? There is no mention of it in this thread by anybody.
