    High!.;-)

    4 the benefit of all e900 users I can confirm that the procedure posted by Rumman (pasted below) works. (phone 2 y old, I've been on o2 now on Voda -but it shouldn't make any difference).

    ok well I have unlocked it myself wohooo

    this is the instruction to unlock any samsung e900

    1. Turn off your phone, put in a SIM of a provider that it is not
    locked to, and turn it back on.


    2. At the invalid sim card screen, type *#9998*3323#.

    i.e ( star/hash/9998/star/3323/hash )

    A message will pop up telling you to press exit, Press exit.
    Choose malloc fail.
    Your phone will reboot and your SIM will work.


    3. Type *0141# and then hit call.
    This will give you a message saying your phone is personalized.


    4. Power down your phone and insert a SIM card other than the one that is in it.

    Power back up your phone.

    5. At the SIM code prompt type 00000000, (that is 8 zeroes.)
    Your phone should now be unlocked

    I've found a tiny problem though:

    After doing this the music player mode cannot be left in the background (lets say to skip to the calendar) so I have to stop music for a set go out do my stuff and then go back again. -minor problem though as for 10 quid saved and DIY "challenge" :T

    Now I'm wondering whether the same stuff will work 4 Samsung J700 -any ideas?

    THX,

    I still can't believe that half of people in UK live on less than the average wage!.;-)

    i thought i would just add that if you use a particular samsung unlock code (the one starting with #73) on newer samsungs (such as the d900i/u600 etc) you will get a barred/blocked phone as it will reset the IMEI to 15 0's.

    to unlock samsungs, i would use a clip to unlock them. unlock clips can be bought from ebay for around £5-£10
