    No problem. I do try and look first.
    Look after the pennies and the £££s will look after themselves

    Hi Can anyone point me in the right direction. I want to unlock my samsung D500 I've tried the codes with no joy. Where is the best place to go to get it unlocked and does anyone know how much it will cost? At the moment it's locked to Tesco's

    newer one cant be done by the free codes
    you need an unlocking clip just plug it in and job done (about £20) and sell it on afterwards
    or unlocking cable and s/w
    or pay someone to do it for you £5 -£10

    I've just flash updated my D500 to use non-standard firmware which adds voice dialing and a 'file' section. Not to mention removing the annoying sounds when you enter Java.

    It's easy to do and you can also remove the lock!
