  • can anyone help. just bought a sagem MY-X2 on ebay for £1 but found it is locked to orange. I want to use my O2 sim, can anyone tell me how to unlock for free as it isn't really worth paying for the service.

    many thanks

    not possible for free. at least you will need a data cable.

    Yes that is what we tried but it didn't work. My sister tried it a few times, so now we are worried it will break the phone if we keep trying. And I can't try it again until I see her on the weekend as I don't have a Vodafone sim! So why didn't it work?? She phoned vodafone but they just said that is the procedure and they can't help further. I would take it to a market stall I just have no idea where to find one!!
    Any further advice?
    Thanks, Ali
    voda shop wont unlock for you
    if the code is def correct that they gave you then i dont know why it didnt work
    only other option is to send to someone who can unlock it directly
    tell voda the code is wrong and you want your code money back?

    hi I'm trying to unluck samsung d500, its locked to orange, they wanna charge 20 quid for this.

    I've seen the post at the top offers code #*7337# and i've tried this without sim and also with new virgin sim in.

    Without sim it just says emergency calls only and with new sim, it asks for network unlock code and when i type in the #*7337# it says password to short.

    If this means I have to go to a shop to unlock, what kind of shop? (other than orange for 20 quid, I hear you can get this done for around 5 pounds? but where?)
    Any advice appreciated
