You can either take it to a market or carboot who will charge between £10-£20 to do it or you can contact orange to unlock it,but you have a lot of credit on your phone (about £20-£30)

Does anyone know how much Orange charge for unlocking a contract phone?

It depends what phone it is mate. If it is a new BB5 phone then your looking at £30

Its a Motorola L6 on an orange 18 month contract. I am only 4 months into the contract though. Any ideas as to how much Orange would charge to unlock it. Thanks.

You will be looking at £30 mate.

Orange may also ask you to pay line rental up to the end of the contract.

Is this one of the phones that I've read are a bit delicate to unlock if not done by the network, as a couple of pcb tracks need to be cut, which easily can be bungled and more damage caused?

If so, I think I'd get a cheap other phone, probably a Nokia that can be code-unlocked free, either here in a supermarkket over there

can be unlocked without cutting tracks/testpoints
can also be done remote by imei for £10 if its on the database which is the safest way

i think if it goes wrong, i think it will result in no network signal

they were testpoint but the newer unlocking stuff like UBL has enabled it to be done without
