sony ericssons cannot be unlocked like that, you have two options 1 ring your operator and get them to give you a code they may charge or get a t28 service cable and it it youself.

well my network wanted £35.
and a cable. would cost more than ten pounds..

so i paid £10 and it was done within 60 seconds.. at my local market stall

was hoping to do it myself for free.........

i think it is stupid, we have bought our mobile phones right? sowhy sould we have to pay even more to get them unlocked?

we shouldn't have to pay for something like this when we paid for the phone anyway! its a rip off and is just something to give networks more money!

anyone agree?

paulsanderson · 14-05-2005, 21:05

yes i do agree. as i am ten quid poorer.
why when we buy a mobile phone, carn't it be. sim free.
so when we have our sim free phone. we then choose which network
we want to use..so if we want.. we can migrate every week or month
or whatever........

so to recap.. all mobiles should be sim free. unless pay on contract..
then we would not have to pay for unlock codes...

mcflyer · 14-05-2005, 22:09

yes that is true also we top up all the time in order to use our fones so its not like we're not giving the networks money so why do they charge us?

No. You have been provided with it, sometimes for free, often at a subsidised price, by the network operator. They do this in the hope that they will regain the original cost of the phone by your use of their network.

Nearly all phones can be purchased unlocked (not subsidised by any network) but expect to pay around £200 - £400 per handset, possibly more depending on individual handset.

paulsanderson · 15-05-2005, 19:20

yes that is true. but networks are now not subsidising as much.
so the cost of mobiles is already on the increase.
