    Motorola phones can be unlocked remotely i.e. you don't need to post your phone off or take it to a shop - you can get the code emailed to you.

    One place that does it is here:

    http://www.unlockingshop.co.uk/

    Cost is £10.

    NB I have no connection with this company, you may find a cheaper site elsehwere... but £10 is still pretty average.

    On my own website I have information on unlocking nokia mobiles. This is free to use and the website is free from adverts and pop-ups

    Just click on the help button and look for the link

    http://www.wmayne.co.uk

    I have unlocked my DCT3 phone using the details on the website. There is also info on unlocking DCT4 phones which is easier.

    I hav not seen anything for unlocking Philips phones. Don't really think that there is much but you will probabley have to do a lot of searching. Check ebay for data cables and then download unlocking software for DCT3 phones. Avaiable to my site https://www.wmayne.co.uk Although I cannot be sure that this will work.

    THANKS, BUT WHERE DO U GET THESE CABLES FROM CAN U BUYTHEM IN SUCH AS THE LINK, OR CAR PHONE WAREHOUSE

    You can buy the cables from Ebay and they normally cost no more than £10

    On my website in the help section you can find details on unlocking nokia dct3 and dct4 mobiles.

    My website is a free, non profit website dedicated to helping people with their computer problems ;D

    Yes but if your website is so good for free advice , why do you charge for the imformation needed to get free texts from 02 sim cards .

    This has been posted for free on this site and does not need to be sold.
    You seem to be promoting your own site a lot on this one and why would that be ?
    'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides with the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.

    This is a way of riasing money for the site and part of this is going into the collection for the charity.

    And!!!!!!!! You will be pleased to know that as of yet NO ONE has bought this information!!!!!!!!!!! >:( >:(
