    Hi, I am thinking of buying a tocco ultra which is locked to t-mobile, I read that there are no free codes for unlocking.

    Can this be unlocked over the internet, if so any recommendations on a decent company to use?

    Or do I need to take it into a shop, do most shops unlock this, any idea how much?


    :j just copied my post from another thread - hope it helps!


    I thought folks would like to know what happen when I bought a t-mobile locked phone on ebay a few weeks ago for my daughter.

    I asked the previous owner if he would make sure it was unlocked befor sending it. TMobile told him that it would take several weeks before they could send him the unlock code for the the Tocco F480. - and charge 15pounds.

    I then looked on here to see what other people had experienced, and on ebay for unlock codes for the Tocco f480. Only to discover that it is NEARLY ALWAYS impossible to unlock from TMobile, as no codes seem to be available.

    Ok - so I called T-mobile on their customer service line - listened to the recoded messages for ages before getting through to a real person. After a long conversation I was told that I had to have the phone registered with TMobile before they would even consider unlocking it.

    SO I register the phone on the tmobile website - set up an account as advised. and then read all the information to see how I can unlock the Tocco F480 - nothing.

    I then call TMobile again and ask for the code now that I am a registered member... errrrr No I will need to wait for 3 MONTHS! The cheek!

    I then came across an email address for their complaints investigation section and wrote to them. Explaining what had happened, the information I had been given by TMobile customer services, and that only on other information forums was the infomation that I would be charged upto £25 for the unlock code. I also said that it was unfair for non-tmobile callers have to wait for ages on the phone to talk to some one and more importantly for unlocking their phones. But I also made it clear that the handset(ToccoF480) had completed its contract term and did not belong to TMobile anymore.

    With in 12 hours I got a response from a TMobile Customer complaints adviser who bascially said that as I was NOT A TMOBILE there would be NO CHARGE to unlock my Toccof480. Got the code 2 days later and now have a very happy daughter!

    Contacting the right person really works. And for anyone who needs to unlock a TMobile handset(for free?) I do suggest emailing the customer complaints department first - DONT call - email. [EMAIL="cust.rel&#64;t-mobile.co.uk"]cust.rel@t-mobile.co.uk[/EMAIL]

    Hope this helps!

  • Sorry if this has been posted before but there are so many different posts on here and googling has just made matters more confusing!

    I have recently acquired a Blackberry 9500 storm but it is locked to Vodaphone. I would like to use it on o2. I have the IMEI number but can't find anywhere that tells me what to do next.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
