Hi,

I need to unlock a Sony Ericsson W810i that is currently on T-Mobile.

I've read on another thread that it's not possible to do with codes so obviously I need to download some software. I heard that websites do it cheaper than phone shops so can anyone recommend some TRUSTED and LEGIT websites for me please? As cheap as possible as well.

Thanks very much.

    you would need to buy an unlock cable and buy a unlock credit to use with online unlocking servers, so it would be cheaper to take it to a shop. i sell both cables and credits but i am sure a shop would probably be your cheapest option.

    Hi,

    Is an unlocking cable the same as thing as the cable that comes with the phone? In pictures it looks the same.

    Also, which shops would you recommend me going to? And how much would they charge?

    an unlocking cable is different to a data cable.
