    I'm not sure if it is possible yet(apart from paying '3' a lot of money to do it) searching web brings no joy either

    I bought one of these from Argos, and took it to my mate who can unlock anything (almost) with cables etc., and he said these are imposible to unlock....unless 3 give you the code, which i doubt they would do :( Keep away from NEC :-/

    the only reference I found to the unlock suggested a fee of £115 to '3'

    If you haven't activated the SIM, Argos will give you a refund. I ended up taking back the one i bought because i couldn't unlock it. I did use it with my 3 contract SIM, and it's not a bad phone except for battery life.
