Anyone ever managed to get a free unlock code from Three?

I am in month 11 of a 12 month contract and want my 6280 unlocked before I ebay it.

Rang all the way to India to speak to Three who said they wanted £15 to do it. Spoke to the supervisor and even threatened to cancel the contract but they wouldn't budge.....

Not sure what to do now....

Is it worth a letter to Three CS in Edinburgh to try and blag it?!?!

  • i'm not sure if anyone ever managed to get their unlock codes for free, but £15 is the standard price to pay if you request for your code within a month of your contract's expiry

    So will I get it free if I request it outside my 12 months? Even if the contract has been cancelled after exactly 12 months?

    no, i would pay the £15 if I were you
    I have known them tell people £115 after the contract has finished, you 100% won't get it for free from them!

    Think i'll just sell it locked then, doesn't seem to affect the price that much!

    Cheers
