Unlock SonyEricsson or Samsung phones for free this weekend

Omnius are offering their usually paid for services for free over the four day Easter weekend. This is Windows software, so not for Linux or Mac users I'm afraid.

I've done this to unlock my Sony Ericsson C905 from being locked to Orange SIMs, just using this software and the USB cable that came with the phone.

What you do:
- Register with the Omnius web site
- Download & install the software
- Launch the software
- On the Server menu click "Server Settings" and enter your username / password that you registered with at step 1.
- Go to Actions menu
- Pick your phone
- Click the Unlock button
- Click "Unlock network lock by patch"
- Follow the on screen instructions.

It will do many more things than unlocking - like allowing you to flash alternative firmware to unbrand your mobile, but I've not investigated that myself.

Hope it's of use to someone :j
