    I have a phone I bought and used an O2 sim card in it on pay as you go. I have just tried to use my phone (with an orange sim card) and it's coming up with the O2 stuff and asking for a password! What's that all about it's my pigging phone, shouldn't I be able to use whatever card I want? How do I use my orange sim card? I'm proper annoyed!! :mad:
    sorry can I say pigging?

    it needs unlocking by the sound of it
    although you own the phone, it was subsidised by o2 which is why they lock them to their own networks. a sim free (unbranded and never been locked) phone would have been a lot more - often double

    my phone is a samsung e330, i can't find a code for that on here, does that mean there is no way of unlocking it?

    it mens there is no free way
    it can be done by hardware at market or you can by a clip for about £10 and do it yourself

    any help would be appreciated just bought a motorola v3 this afternoon well actually i didnt pay for it i got it free with my boots advantage points :D

    promblem is it appears to be locked to vodafone and with an 02 sim in it is asking for a subsidy code, so i rang vodafone and the bloke was clueless n ended up giving me the PUK code for the vodafone sim :rolleyes:

    Being the tightwad moneysaver that i am :rotfl: does anyone know anywhere online where i can unlock it for free :D

    As far as I am aware, these can only be unlocked with a cable and PC- you have to flash the software with something- I looked into it and thought it was too much bother!

    Many thanks,

    sim out
    turn on
    joystick left
    **stick left
    there is then no response.
    i should be asked network but nothing happens

    any one got any advice.
    thanks in advance
    ragjoy.


    edit:could this be already unlocked as i have just tried my wife T moblile sim and that seems seems fine although i did not make a call.
    is there anyway to check.
    the phone has been out of contract for 3 months.
    OK
    I own a K750i and tried this procedure with it, then it tells me " Personalized with MNC2 ' then gives me the chance to enter a code " NCK : "
    Does anybody know of there is something I can enter to unlock this phone, or if specific networks have specific codes
