Is there a way of unlocking my sons LG GB220 for free

It is locked into O2 but we have no reception here on O2, unfortunately his father didn't check that out before buying it.

Also when i put in *#06# for the IMIE code I get too many digits

35573603385641000 have I got the wrong code?

Hope someone can help

You could probably get a code from O2 to unblock it. Cost like £20 i think :P probably more than the phone if its "stone age"

A lot of small local shops that sell mobile phones and accessories etc will unlock phones. Costs about £10 around here. Be warned they won't take any responsibility if they break your phone tho!

And some of them steal the IMEI numbers to clone the phone.

IMEI can sometimes be found under the battery.

I've just googled "Unlock a SGHA800" and got some good hits.
Same with the other phone.
I unlocked my old phone with an app downloaded from t'internet.
Usually you either enter a code, don't buy one, or use the data cable.
This opens a whole new world.

Well that's why you watch them do it. Since they only need to plug in a data cable there is no need to take out the battery and if they do, that's when you can get suspicious.
