Cost of unlocking blackberry

KG

My friend is offering me her old blackberry bold but it's on Three and I'm not so I will need to unlock it. Having checked out the advice on the main site I can see that my best option is probably to have it unlocked at a market / independent phone shop.

I got a quote for £15 for unlocking it, but it seems a little steep to me. I only paid a fiver last time I had a phone unlocked, but then it was just a basic sony erricson. I didn't know whether it was more expensive as it's a blackberry.

Does £15 sound about right?

I got an unlock code from someone advertising on Ebay. Always a bit sceptical doing this but the guy was 100% genuine and the code cost £4. It was for a Blackberry Bold 9000 and very easy to do.

With VF, when I upgrade my phones they have always unlocked my old phone for free. Ask him to try this with 3.

Thanks Spiro. Unfortunately Three Mobile ain't so nice... They wanted to charge £15.32 and make me wait up to 28 days to get the code. Even after my mate used the 'really, because my freind got it done for free on vodafone' line...

one of my friend got his blackberry 6510 unlocked from giffgaff services. Hope you will find your unlocking code over there.

I paid about £1.80 (via paypal so you don't have to put your CC details in) to get the code within 20 mins and can confirm it worked

I know I could have got it for free, but a £13.20 saving is good enough for me

Thanks
