  • Hi,

    you can try this site.
  • Hi, again, :o

    :eek: sorry shaunm, I thought that all unlocks were free on that site, but see now that your phone has a different link, sorry again, you could maybe try this forum, or have a look at the phones section on this board.

    apparently SE is about the only company that you cannot get a code for. looking at all the different forums you have to have one of those speical cables and the software, looks like i'm going to have to ring vodafone and get it done for about £20 :( damn SE!!! great phone though :rolleyes:

    In our area a lot of little Asian shops will do it for £5. (including a local taxi firm) Have a look around your ethnic area.
