Sorry, not for free. Contact your network provider, pro unlocker, or Ebay which should cost about £8 someone with plenty of good feedback.

The link to trycktill in moneysavingexpert.com - phones - unlock-mobile-phone#free doesn't seem to work.

But I found unlocking instructions for my HTC Desire at:
community.giffgaff.com

and they worked perfectly.

Please ask me for details of the links. I'm too new to the site to be able to post links.

Any ideas about unlocking a htc wildfire s from o2? They want £15.32 to do it

I only want to get my contacts off it, so dont really wanna pay that!

Thanks,

Is there no way you can backup your contacts (say to your GMail account) ? If you have cancelled your O2 contract and the SIM doesn't work (which sometimes stops a mobile from doing anything but emergency calls), you could probably get an O2 SIM, a GiffGaff SIM or maybe Tesco Mobile (since GiffGaff and Tesco use O2 network) to try.

Feel sure you could get a free O2 or GiffGaff SIM via the web, then backup your contacts (so you can download them into another Android mobile). I know there are Apps to backup most things so should not be impossible... Good luck! (PS what will you do with the mobile?)

Also this is abit off topic but is there domewhere on here i can advertise these as im selling them?

Hot UK deals (.com) has a section for exactly that. Obviously you could also consider using Ebay or Gumtree to sell things...

Thank you

I have managed to get to the address book on the phone now. I just need to sit and copy off all the contacts now. At least its a step better.

ì'm not sure about the phone yet. It is properly broken tho, so can'taimagine that anyone would want it
