    I think there is NO FREE unlock for these phones.. software may be available somewhere but it requires you to modify your USB cable - so unless you have soldering iron etc.. you have to go out and buy that. Then you ruin your USB cable and may have to buy another for data transfer etc.. So "Free" has now cost you soldering iron + USB cable... think about it.


    Like everyone I like free stuff.. I've heard from loads of people who have ruined many cables and in the end send phones in to us.. Most spend more on the equipment and cables than it would cost to send to us... Not to mention the hours spent trying to solder a cable with pins smaller than a sewing needle!
