  I know that there is that option, and I believe it can cost £115.00....but if it can be done by the networks, surely there must be a way that it can be done, so as not to have to pay that amount of money

  Networks lock their phones so that you use their network - the initial cost of the phone is subsidised by the network and by you using their network they hope to recover that money.
  
  I understand that Three now only charge £15 to unlock their phones if you are in the last month of your contract with them.
  
  The following Nokia locked phones can only be unlocked by the network.
  6270,6280,6281,6620,6630,6680,7370,7710,9500,9300,N70,N90.
