I've been looking around for myself and various family members and I realise we're not going to get freebies unlockings for our mobiles.

...but... Could/would some kind soul please tell me the going(ish) rates for having the following phones unlocked, locally:

Panasonic X70 (Orange)
Sharp GX15 (Voda)
Sony Ericsson F500i (Voda)

Thanks

    Hi

    post your phone details on the phone unlocking sticky at the top of the mobile forum and I'm sure the great ppl there will help you out for free, but if you need to get your phones unlocked by cable then that costs and you will have to find a place near you that can sort it out.

    the latest s/w on x70s is hard to unlock but the earlier ones are ok, needs to be sent off though, about £10 inc return post (i cant do these)
    both the vodas may be able to be remotly unlocked by code if the code is on the server, about £12-£15 each
    gx15 and f500 prob about £10 each

    if you remote unlock the software is free, if you enter this wrong code etc and the phone locks up then about 10 - 20 depending on the situation
