Hi i have a sagem myx7 which was given to me by my brother, the phone is over a years old, but when i got it i put a new orange sim card into it

If i phoned up orange do you think they would unlock it for me? I think they unlock it if its over a year old

If it's outside it's contract period, they should do.

It's supposed to be the contract/phone owner who calls to request it though.

Vodaphone did a phone I bought on ebay for nothing ......

Wich Network is it locked to.

I think Orange will charge you to have it unlocked though.

orange...and its pay as you go too

if its locked to orange and youve put an orange sim in it doesn't need unlocking, you just need to register the sim. When I asked orange about unlocking they wanted to charge me £25

no lol
I want to use an o2 sim card, i've had the orange sim card in it for the last 6 months

ah right, it'll cost you no doubt! they do this to keep you with orange!

Maybe not.

As I already mentioned, Vodaphone will unlock it for free if it's a contract phone outside it's contract period. Give them a phone and find out ....

Plenty places will do it for £5-£10 if Orange decide to be dicks about it.

tried that lol, no where can unlock sagems except for the phone manufacturers

I'll probably try phoning them up later

I'm surprised Vodafone unlocked a phone for free. Orange however will definitely charge you for it. I used to be on Orange and was charged £35 for the pleasure but that was in the days before you could get it done somewhere for a fiver.

The best place to go to is a phone specialist shop or a market. They can charge from a fiver to unlock your phone. Don't bother calling the network up! They charge stupid prices to unlock them.

Um .... did you not read the rest of the thread?

Vodaphone ONLY charge if it's still within it's contract period. Outside that, it's free.

I must admit, I was surprised to find that out myself but thats their policy and good on them for it. No idea about other providers but well worth a call on the off-chance.

Oh, and to the OP ....

There are guys who offer unlocking by post on ebay. You have to send your phone to him but judging by his feedback, I'd say you're safe. He covers your model.

darn orange

What if i said it was because i was selling the phone but i am still staying with orange

well i was kinda hoping orange would do it for free... but thanks for that

Virgin mobile are really good for unlocking...if you spend over £30 since you had your pay as you go mobile on virgin they'll unlock it for you free of charge

Dont complain! I have an lg on 3 and i want it unlocked... getting really pee'd off with 3's service. So i phoned 3 CS and asked for the code. They want a hundred and fifty quid to give me the unlock code for a phone that i paid 200 quid for in the first place

I would recomend the Market, I have a out of contract 3 handset and they unlocked for £8.

you must be joking!! they cant seriously charge you £150 for a code
OMG!!

The code charge was a 135 quid for the card and a further 15 quid for 'administration purposes' 3's words not mine
