    Probably.

    Why not take the thing in to your nearest 3 shop. They will soon help you out.

    Oh, and it's good to see at least one UK operator not only now supplying all their phones unlocked, but unlocking any previous handset for free to boot.
    Never Knowingly Understood.

    With the phone on, take out the old sim card put in a non three sim card, the phone will reboot, you go through the welcome stage connect to a wifi network and then the phone will be unlocked and you will have service on the new network, no need for backups, itunes or a PC.

    (The instructions that still get sent out are from years ago when that was the only way to unlock the phone)
