Hi all

Any help greatly appreciated - just managed to finally get an upgrade out of Orange though they were *well* stingy with it. ANyway - now have a new Samsung E800 which is nice, but I want to unlock it and sell it if I can.

Is there an easy way to unlock these phones? Web / remote / cable? Who is the cheapest and most reliable?

Many thanks!!

    Karl is a great person to deal with and Highly recommended....

    E800 is usually a clip unlock.... not web/remote

    Majority of the older sammys could be done using code

    but newer ones cannot unfortunately

    *2767*637# try this code on the phone

    it will reset the handset to factory so use at your own risk!

    The code doesnt always work

    If it doesnt work you need to purchase a samsung T100 datacable (cheap around £5) and you need to download samsung unlocker

    Under 'Files' there's an a800 unlocker in the 'samsung tools' folder.

    again all used at your own risk

    If you want a programme go here but you will still need to buy a data cable for the samsung phones.That site (http://www.cubwolf.co.uk/mobile_.htm) has been going for quite a few years now and a freind of mine knows the owner personally and told me about it a few years ago.I have been using it for that long and have always found it very helpful for what i needed.
    Hope this helps you :)

    Dave is a really nice guy... I chat with him often on Phone forums...

    The software however doesnt do the a800...

    does most samsungs from cubbys site but not the a800
