    Hello...first I need to fess up that I know nothing of which you speak! It's all gobledy-gook to me I'm afraid :o but No2 has somehow managed to lock a Google G1on T-Mobile. They are requesting a password but of course that has melted off into the ether months ago, so do you good folk have any suggestion to what or where we go next please?
    Thanks for reading.

    I have also just been scammed by unlock solutions.co.uk this is nothing but an outright fraud. They are clearly relying on people not checking them out / not disputingbeacsue the caosts are minor. £4.50 is hardly going to break the bank but I hate the feeling of being conned.

    I have opened a paypal dispute but if they have not replied by friday I will talk to my bank.

    I had the same problem. Payment was via paypal so just filed a dispute, within 3 hours I had a full refund. Worth a try if paid via paypal.
    Nice to Save. To save it's ____
  • refund from 'unlocking mobiles' with 1 hour of complaining via paypal dispute
  • Have just used unlocksuperstore for an unlocking code for a nokia N82. I was advised that Nigel would contact me within 24hrs with the code. five minutes before the 24hrs was up I had an email saying he needed more info, where it was bought, how old and the number and he would make a code within 24hrs. Next day Nigel contacted me and said he could not do it and I would get my 2.99 refund in 7 days. The strange thing is My Dad did the same think months back, same website, same story, same Nigel, different phone, seems a bit strange to me. how many people pay the 2.99 and this company keeps it for 1 week before telling them they can't do it.

    I just unlocked my BlackBerry 8320 with a code from swiftunlocks on ebay. It was cheap and it worked, and the customer service was very good-their original message got caught in my spam filter and every time I contacted them I got an instant and courteous answer. I was *immensely* worried about buying a code from ebay, but I'd definitely use them again.

  • does anyone know the best way to unlock a nokia n series mobile ?
  • I too had the miss fortune of using unlocksolution.co.uk, On finding that all they were doing was supplying me a list of othe website I immediatley logged a claim with paypal, stating that Item was not as described.

    Here is eaxctly what i had written in the comments of the claim

    Your advert stated that an unlock code would be supplied, all that was supplied was a report giving numbers or websites to contact to obtain an unlock code at a further cost, I would like a refund, which I'm certain is covered by the sale of goods act, I will be interested in your prompt response as I work for a Television Production Company and I am be interested in your response times and the outcome of this dispute.

    I received my £5.74 back into my paypal account with in 5 minutes

    I'm not saying it will work for you, but i sure did for me, I have also reported them to trading standards.
