    WinRAR is the one you want. Don't buy it from the site, there is a 30day trial, and you can still use the basic version after 30 days, it just throws up a nag screen when you load it.

    Sorry, there are no remote codes for your phone. Take it to a pro unlocker.

    Hi - This is the first time I've ever entered a forum, so I haven't got a clue what I'm doing. Hope this is right.
    I have a Motorola V3X Razor which is locked to Vodafone. I want to switch it to Virgin. The problem is the phone doesn't have the Vodafone sim card in it. Do I have to buy a Vodafone sim card before I can unlock the phone? I'd most grateful if someone could let me know. Many thanks:j

    no, you don't need the vodafone sim
    what does it say when your put the virgin sim in? If you put your imei number on here ill try to get the unlock code for you (type *#06# into phone to get imei)

    Would that be through someone like this:
    https://www.unlocktelecom.co.uk

    Sorry to ask such basic questions, but I really don't know what I'm doing!:confused:
