    William sure you cause is admirable - but maybe a little naive -
    (... is a non-profit orgainisation free from pop-ups and adverts .... Every time you click on one of our links we receive a small amount of money ??? )

    As a  "commercial" site you appear to be selling  items/ taking adverts   but also  asks for donations but then  state that "hopefully donate a large amount of cash to charity!"  & " This money is used to help keep the website running and any that if left over we will save and then donate this to charity"

    Do you need to publish figures  / register with the charties commission ?   otherwise questions might be asked.

    Not having a go - nothing wrong with being a commercial site - just wonder if a few of the statements could do with a clear up

    I know earlier posts stated that the Nokia 3330 phones needed a cable, but the sites listed below said they can unlock the mobile with a code e-mailed to you, if this is so, is this available without paying?
    Just a thought, cos I either pay £10 to a local shop to unlock my phone or I pay £10 for a cable, either way I pay. I want it FREE. (If possible.) :-/

    Thanks.

    Is it possible to unlock a Nokia 3330 on Orange without using a data cable?

    Also, does anyone know where to get an unlocking code, preferably free, for a Samsung A800 on Virgin? If so, would I need a data cable to do it or do I just enter the code? I want to swap the sim cards.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    well spotted, i have downloaded the unlocking program and it works. I just unlocked my nokia 3510i which was locked to orange.I might start a wee sideline now. ;D

    What was well spotted? This appears to be the first message on this thread and I can't see what it refers to.

    Forgive me if it's obvious, but it is late!

    Try the forum search function!

    "To unlock samsung a300 and A800 type in the following code into ur phone":-

    *2767*637#

    Worked with mine - but i think 25% of them have extra security?
  • what about the samsung e700
    and also a nokia 6600 which is locked to orange

    hope someone knows :)
    Treat everyday as your last one on earth! and one day you will be right.:D

    I tried that, but it didn't work with my A800 on virgin, hence reason for asking again.

    Has anyone tried the e-mail unlocking from this site?

    http://www.firstphoneshop.co.uk/mobile-phone-unlocking/

    Seems quite cheap, but as yet I haven't tried it.
