    Sure the network its on can unlock it for you, for a fee of course.

    take it into a mobile phone shop - they will get it unlocked for you.

    If you can't find anywhere local that can do it, call this place.

    They unlocked and unbranded a Nokia N82 for me earlier this year - there's only a handful of places in England who can do that.

    You may need to send it to them but they're trustworthy and fast: turnaround is a couple of days.

    Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:

    As a result of how you voted in the last three General Elections,
    you'd now be better off living in one.

    thanks for the replies

    I've tried that place but their manchester store and they said the software isnt available yet and when it is will probably cost £35. Seems steep to me but i still need it done. I did the N85 last year for £15 at the same place lol
