Free codes for Unlocking Phones OTHER than Nokia's

SallyD

Hi, Browntoa,

Thank you again for helping me some time ago to unlock the Nokia's on the real special offer with Virgin, I updated my Mum's brick and she is delighted with it. Well, as to this D500, mmmmmmmm, I bought it off a chap whose Mum I am acquainted with, he told me he often gets hold of phones as he works in a phone shop? He put in my Sim card and it did work. I did not realise until I showed it to a colleague at work that it was such an up to date one. As I said it accepted my Orange sim card but put it away as I had not bothered to download the instructions for photo's etc., went to use it yesterday and well, you know the rest. I only paid £20. A lesson learnt!

a d500 for £20 is to good to be true
phone orange cust services and they can confirm if its barred or if its a phone fault (99% barred)

It might have been too good to be true but I did not know at the time it was a super duper-phone, I was chuffed to bits when I put my sim in and it worked.So you can imagine how d isappointed I was yesterday when I was going to spend some time getting to know it only to find limited service. Okay, if I phone Orange and it is reported as being pinched, will the police come round and cart me away?

ive had a few phones from ebay and they have been barred later on
never had a problem when phoning orange (or other providers) who confirm its been reported stolen

Don't suppose they un-barr them?

SallyD,
get the IMEI by doing *#06# then try checking if it's stolen by going to https://www.immobilise.com/

Does anyone know if it is possible to unlock a Samsung E350 on Virgin Mobile (bought recently, 17/2/06 - so prob a newer model)?

not by code (unless you spend £30 with virgin first)
can be done by clip or cable - your local market phone stall should be cheapest

Hello,

I have tried the search function but nothing shows for my query, so apologies in advance if I'm repeating something ...

I have had a Motorola V300 for the last three years and it has been locked to T-Mobile since bought brand new. I would now like to unlock it and having read on MSE and other sites that you cannot unlock Motorolas for free, I have just found this website http://www.sagemobile.co.uk/

It claims it can unlock my phone for just £2.99. The terms and conditions state they cannot be held responsible if the code doesn't work etc yet they then say a full refund will be made if they can't unlock the phone?

Has anyone got any comments/reviews on the aforementioned company?

Many thanks in advance.

i should think they have just got a list of codes that work on some models - like the one in the sticky.
remember if you put some codes into phones that were not designed to accept that code , it could cause a problem - and they say they wont be responsible
