Samsung Omnia unlock

Hi

I have a Samsung Omnia 7 i8700 which is locked to T mobile, my contract has come to an end and I am moving across to Ovivo as I do not use many minutes/texts but need to unlock the phone.

Does anybody know the best way to unlock this phone, is it best to use one of the market stalls/phone shops, trying to do it as MSE as possible as I will treating myself to a new phone when I decide which is best.

Many thanks for reading

    Contact T mobile and ask them for a code. explain you want to leave their network and use your phone with another provider. If you have been with them for a while it should be free. You have to be with vodafone for a year for it to be free otherwise £19.99. Orange is 6mths.
    Might be worth trying another sim in your phone as t mobile told me the other day that all their phones are unlocked.
