    Hi

    Old Sony Ericsson T610 with no orange sim, but with loads of easymobile ones (LOL)!

    Can it be unlocked if so , how?

    FYI - the IMEI number is:35126-3-00-499393-6-05

    I've done the <**< thingy which reveals the message "personalised with MNC2" it then goes to SP with a lock symbol...which when selected asks for an unlock (SP)5...SPCK code?

    If the answer is can't be done without a cable/professional help....can you tell me how much that'll be (as the phone isn't really worth too much spent on it).

    Any help, greatly appreciated.

    If you've got a datacable, look here for most Motorolas:

    Be sure to check SW version first though, google for the codes to do that.
