Can you unlock 3 phones?

  • Would be handy because OH just got a SE z610i on three, but useless reception, but if she could use her voda sim all would be well.

    So if the sim isn't glued in (which it's not cos we put it in ourselves) then it should just take a phone call to get it done.
  • Hi can anyone help? i want to buy a Motorola Rzr as a christmas present to be used on the 3 network with an existing sim-card. however, the phone is a lot cheaper on other networks, i.e orange. can you unlock this phone to the 3 network? i often see on ebay phones that are unlocked exclude the 3 network for some reason. can anyone shed any light as to whether i will be able to unlock the phone for 3 and if so how?

    Thanks in advance

    The earlier versions did not have 3g, so if you're looking at a clearance offer make sure you check which it is - suffix i, x etc

    I'll let the unlock pundits answer the rest
