Looks as though mine comes in the "iffey" category. Some have done it successfully; others say you just have to go to the provider and pay up ... Others suggest you sell it on as a locked phone and buy another. <Grins>
No doubt I'll find my way through eventually. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxxOn Wednesday, March 19, 2008 4:29 PM (UK time), Jackie Cairns at cairnsplace@xxxxxxx said:
Hi Carol I don't know about the sites you gave links to, but we know a nice chap in our area who has a shop selling everything mobile phone. He unlocks phones of all shapes and sizes for £10. From what I know, it doesn't cause any problems for TALKS, but does invalidate your warranty if it is under a year old. I'm sure Nutty will let you know more though, and will only be too willing to correct me if I'm wrong. (big smile.)

First, has anyone done it themselves? If so, will it work still using TALKS? Second, I've looked at the following sites http://www.trycktill.com/eng/ http://unlock.nokiafree.org/ and http://www.unlockitfree.com/ All their methods vary a little. It seems that some talk about removing the sim card, whilst the others do not. Others will unlock anything - but then I read that the Nokia 6630 cannot be unlocked because it is a "BB5" model. This restricts the phone and cannot be unlocked via code or cable. Apparently I can only have this done via my mobile provider (costing about £30 I think)! Well, if anyone knows any different, please let me know. It seems though that I could do our 6600, if I'm daring enough ... Any comments (particularly experiences) most welcome.
