    Also had the same issue, does not appear to be a permanent solution, maybe the only certain way is to take it to the market and for £10 they'll do it with the clip/cable thingy?

    Can anyone confirm they've had a permanent unlock solution to this handset?

    Unlocking clip will do the job, dont take it to a unlocking shop, buy the unlocking clip from here https://www.mobyrepairs.com and then re-sell the clip on ebay and get back what you paid for it. Free unlock that way

    Hi there,

    Can anyone help me? I have a Nokia 1112 that I bought with a Tesco sim and I don't seem to be able to unlock it. I have looked at a couple of unlocking sites but they don't seem to unlock this model.

    The IMEI is 35397401781320/4

    Any help gratefully received!

    Can someone explain how an unlocking clip works and would I be able to get one to unlock an LG Prada on T Mobile so I can use my Orange sim or should I take it to a shop. Thanks

    Thanks but I've managed to unlock my nokia. Used https://www.unlockitfree.com which provides lots of nokia unlocking codes and it worked a treat.[/URL] However I now need to buy a cheap pay as you go mobile for my son. He's considering the Acatel OT E230 which comes locked to Orange, or preferably the Alcatel OT E225 which comes locked to T-mobile. Unfortunately we live in a rural area only covered by o2 so these Alcatels would need to be unlocked so that they can be used with an o2 sim card. Do you know if either of these can be unlocked cheaply?
    Thanks again for taking the time to try to help, its much appreciated.

    The IMEI number of the Alcatel OT E225 is 352847010291605

    Hi,
    I have just purchased the alcatel e230 from Argos at £9.99 and had it unlocked via market stall for £10.
    Not a bad phone either!
    Cheers

    Has anyone used "www.unlocktelecom.co.uk" to successfully (and cheaply) :money: obtain unlocking codes for Acatels?:confused:
