Hi!

Can anyone pls guide me as how to unlock motorola T2288.

Originally this mobile has been locked on swedish-comviq network.
I have been in touch with comviq and they charge will chargeSEK350

Pls adv.

Many thanks. Kakar

    you could probably get it unlocked at some fo the bigger markets in uk for £5-£10
    dont know if your in the uk now but you could get a new phone here for £20 £25 if you dont mind what it is

    Thanks very much.

    Sorry for my ignorance, i am new in UK. Would you know who sells the cheapest PAYG mobile phone.

    If possible, would it be possible to recommend a mobile unlocking shop in west london/southall/uxbridge?

    Many thanks
