    unlocking to all networks is legal, but UNBLOCKING is ILLEGAL (where the phone has been blocked after being stolen for example)

    i dont think this can be unlocked, as its probably a BB5 (the platform the phone is based on)

    EDIT: this cannot be unlocked see here

    the only way to unlock these is to pay about £15-£20 for the code from the network

    Can you unlock S60 phones (N73/E61)?

    only the network provider can unlock the N73 as its a BB5 phone. not sure about the E61, but i'm guessing that is also a BB5 handset so it can only be unlocked by the network

    5300, N73 and the other S60 phones can be unlocked by any pro unlocker and should not cost more than £12.50 as a postal service, £10.00 as a walk in at a shop
