Thinking about unlocking my Samsung U800.

They've quoted about £11.50 and it's all done at home.

Any comments?

    Hi,

    Never used any unlocking services like this myself......although I am aware that most of the unlocking softwares are readily available online if you do a bit of hunting.

    Failing this, I wouldn't bother paying more than a fiver for this service, as it usually just involves inputting a few bits of data into the unlocking program. Try a local independent mobile phone shop, or one of those city centre stallholders that sell everything for mobile phones.

    I tried a few free online codes and now my phone has 'freezed', hence thinking about purchasing one.

    Thanks
