    Samsung X450 (also works on samsung E810 - tested by wacko911)
    1) note handset imei
    2) insert the card you want to use in your handset and switch on
    3) at wrong card enter *2767*688xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx#
    (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx = handset imei number)
    4) after reboot your sim will work, BUT not after power down

    now the trick:

    5) enter *0141#
    6) press call (green) button
    7) now simlock updated to current network
    After I used these instructions in a vodafone samsung E810 it now asks for a simlock password would it be possible for you to give me one of these the imei is 35362200079991/004

    Sorted this out anyway rang up vodafone and they just said enter 00000000 did that and phone booted normal sorry 4 any bother

    if the code in the 1st post doesnt work (which it usually doesnt) then you need a direct unlock - either your local market stall or you can do it yourself with a samsung t100 cable (the genuine one that came with t100 when new)

    Is it possible to unlock a Sharp GX30 which at the moment can only be used with Vodafone and I want to use with O2? I have tried reading through this thread but the computer keeps stalling.

    SORRY if this has already been answered!

    SORRY for not responding sooner but there is a fault with my BT line which was supposed to be fixed by now but apparently it wont be fixed until Monday. However, how do I get to the Vodafone database? How much do both options cost?

    I am currently using someone elses phone line but hopefully I will be back on my own on Monday so probably wont be able to respond or thankyou until then!

    no codes to do it but if you have a cable for it there should be some s/w available to unlock it
