Help: do you know how to unlock Samsung E400?

I got a Samsung E400 locked to Virgin.
At the moment I am using the code to unlock it temporarily. It means at any time I start up the phone, I need to key in a sequence of numbers/letters to unlock it to use with other SIM cards.

As far as I know, we can use the cable (from other Samsung phone, e.g. Samsung V200) and run a software to unlock the E400. Anyone knows which software I should use or instructions how to unlock it permanently.

Thanks a lot!

    If you have spent £30 of airtime with Virgin, then call the customer service and they will unlock it for free.

    I have used it mainly with O2 and Voda. That's why I haven't spent enough money to ask them the unlock code. :-(

    Anyone knows how to use the cable to unlock it. I am really appreciated.

    Have a nice weekend!!!
