Thinking of starting my own unlocking business
As the title suggests, I live in a small town, and we don't have such a person unlocking phones.
Can anyone point me in the right direction with regards to what software I need, (I can do most nokia's already, thanks to fellow moneysavers) but how do I unlock the newest Nokia's, SE's, Sharp's ETC?
Thanks alot!
PS . I know I will need to buy some equipment and would appreciate a point in the right direction!
Thanks ever so much!

What about this seems as this can unlock most newer models? anyone have any experience with it?
Furious Box II V3

Well if that's the newest update I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole .. No Sony Ericsson phones after the K700 and Samsung support is rubbish as well.
My Setup:
For Sony Ericsson : USB Smart dongle
For Samsung : NS Dongle
For Nokia : Jaf and Twister boxes
Motorola : Smart clip
Plus various cables for other less popular phones
THose are the 4 main phones you will be asked to do, you will need a box for Nokia as people want updated and debranded firmware flashed to their phone plus conversions on SE phones such as the K750i can be flashed with W800i firmware and V800i can be flashed with Z800i.
It's not just a case of simply unlocking a phone these days0 -
Thanks for the info, I have sent you a PM.
If anyone else has input I would appreciate it!

I can certainly concur regarding how helpful Darren is. I was having problems unlocking my SE T610 using allgsm.co.uk. I sent an email at about 21:30, hoping for a reply the next day. I got a reply back within minutes, and we played email tag until about 23:00 when the phone eventually unlocked. Absolutely great customer service.sockpuppetuk wrote:I buy all my equipment from here:
