Hi,
Coming to end of contract with Three for a Samsung Galaxy S2 phone. Is there a free way to unlock this phone please?
I did Google it and found lots of dodgy looking websites that I'm not sure I would trust.
Also came across a video from GiffGaff which talks about "rooting" the phone first and then getting a free code to unlock it. But the video is a bit confusing and I don't want to risk bodging this and damaging the phone - is this an option and how difficult/risky is it?
Many thx in advance.0 -

Hi it can be quite tricky to unlock it by rooting, unless you have done many phones before, what I would try first is wait for your contract to expire then contact 3 to ask them to provide you with the unlock code, usually when you contact the network provider when the contract is up they provide you with the unlock code for free.0 -

Hi Pumagirl, I'm afraid there are no free unlock codes for this phone, cheapest codes to buy on Ebay for Orange are currently £34.99 not sure how much a local unlocking shop would charge though.

Thank you Jay thought as much Iv been ringing round a few shops and so far have got it down to 35.00 as you say
Daft thing is if I had been on pay as you go with orange for six months they would have given me code free apparently !
