SonyEricsson K750i unlocking

Hi all,
As a newbie to this forum I am trying to find anyone who has sucessfully unblocked a Sony Ericsson K750i :confused: . If you have can you let me know how so I can do the same. It is 5 months old and is currently on O2 network.

    you mean unlock (unblocking is illegal)
    it can easily and safely be done by a pro for £5 - £10
    or buy a credit for a server like this (you may also need to buy the correct cable)

    or you can risk it yourself here

    With regards to drahcir's last suggestion of doing it yourself, I wouldn't recommend it. Whilst the K750i is an excellent phone, the firmware can be upset fairly easy with the result of the phone not working. Even if you manage to flash it yourself, you may find that it won't switch on at a later date.

    Also you will nead a Cruiser cable that will cost you £5. Much better to go to your local shop and pay a Tenner, that way if there are any problems they can sort it out for you.

    agree with Road_Hog. Don't break your phone by trying to unlock it your self.

    Totally agree with the above posts. From reading about this for some time, I gather it's very easy to break your phone if you try to do it yourself, ie- it won't switch on or another fault may develop. I paid £10 at a local store and it tooks 2 minutes. Well worth it IMHO - quick and painless!

  • The 750i cant be unlocked by free code, it has to be done via a cable.

    wht network is it on?
    no free codes but if voda you may get a cheap code
    or safest may be to pay someone to direct unlock
    or by server of you have the correct cable

    or you can risk it yourself here but can easily go wrong:

    HLK, hi, please post if your unlock causes you to lose any data on your phone, ringtones, screensavers, photos or anything as Tesco are threatening me that that may happen. You may want to ask the shop guy if the cable unlock would do that before they do it :-S
    hope it works.

    entering unlock code wont lose anything but sometimes if you direct unlock and it goes wrong then it may need flashing to get it going again which can lose your data
