    thanks!!

    Have only just got in and will not have time to ring either number before tomorrow, but will try tomorrow and will report back to you asap.

    No probs, if they dont do it then give me a shout back I know somebody in my area who can unlock them and will try and get hold of a contact who works in the courier industry and try and get it done free for you, but that may be a long shot. See how you go on.

    it might be able to be done by hardware and cables by your local pro unlocker but not by free code, there isnt an unlocking clip that can do these that I am aware of, seen as its vodafone then it will be able to be unlocked by vodacode for £12 but try your local pro unlocker first as I dont have the hardware or the prices for unlocking this phone, if you are still stuck then can get it unlocked by code but it will be £12

    Its your local phone unlocking shop, They might have a box that can unlock the phone which will cost you around £5-£10 but I've never unlocked one of these phones before so I'm not sure if one is available so its worth trying there first, if not then the only other way will be a vodacode, If it is then I will do you it at the price I pay which is £8 so P.M me if they cant unlock it as I cant monitor all the posts on here. (And its not a stupid question, we just put it in those terms as we are phone unlocking people and are used to putting those words in mate)

    Dam !! If it was vodafone I could have got an unlock code for you, cant do that with orange, what area are you in, I will try and find somebody in your area who has the box required to unlock them, saves you having to send a dodgy site.

    I called the first of the two numbers you gave me - He can do it - ten pound charge - which is not too bad!! I will not be able to go to the shop for a while tho' as I am on holiday from tomorrow until June 30th.Once again thanks!!

    Any update on the SE W850i

    Possible unlock at all? Free or even with 'the local man

    Just information that it can be done (o2)
    Things that are free in life are great, well most of the time :beer:

    Deffo not for free, it can be done without having to go through o2 although if you can get the code from them it will be cheaper, usual price without going through o2 is £25
  • in reference to the universal unlock for samsung models: was wondering if an SCH-a930 would be considered older and thus use this code? if not, i assume it must be unlocked by other equip or otherwise as stated previously, dig. info?
    THX in advance for any responses!!
