    can anyone help ?

    I read somewhere that if your IMEI number has been reset to 0's then your sim is blocked.

    Hi,

    I just bought my son a Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 on O2
    He has a t-mobile sim from his previous (not so good) phone
    Can this phone be unlocked for free?
    I looked at mobile.code.unlocker who want £2.99 for an unlock - is that a recommended site?

    thank you

    Can anyone recommend a cheap reputable site to buy an unlock code for a Sony Xperia Play? Its locked to T-Mobile and just wants an unlock code to unlock it but theres so many sites out there I dont want to get scammed

    Browntoa> I have had a look , the software unlock involves a 'Test Point' which means removing part of the phone and shorting two points on the PCB. Im not to keen on this method as the phone just needs an unlock code. Is it possible to get this code for anywhere other than T-Mobile?

    I'm afraid not and can only be unlocked if paid for, as there are no free remote codes. Contact a professional unlocker, or your network provider.
