unlocking phones

hi its hamate how do i unlocked my 3g phone its a nec e616v someone said you cant unlocking 3g phones that cant be true can it
:confused:

Comments

  • I had my NEC e616v unlocked safely and reliably by an Ebayer whose Ebay ID is star_unlocking. It cost £6.99 including postage and was back with me within a week. I was nervous of sending the phone initially but he is trustworthy and I would highly recommend him, as he succeeded after a lot of failed attempts by shops locally.

    they can be unlocked with cable and fre s/w but its a lot of messing abotu if you dont know what your doing and it could go wrong and lock all the locks (also phone may need downgrading first)
    best let someone do it who has the correct unlocing equipment.
    if you cant find anyone pm me and ill pass on some contacts who could do it for you
  • How much charges 3G for unlocking? (they should offer this?)

    Could I use my 3G Nokia 6680 after unlocking from 3g with a vodafone sim? (for 1000m free weekend/evenings)
    :hello:

    after unlocking it will work on all nets inc voda
